How about I have that identity crisis right now?

[apocalypsos]

Dear Mom,

First off, please don't respond to my comment that I usually don't clean my apartment when I get depressed with "Why would you be depressed?" Oh, I don't know. I'm going to be thirty, I've never had sex, I have no kids, no money, and a crappy job, I haven't been published yet, I'm going to have to get a second job if I want to do anything or go anywhere, I live alone with two chinchillas and a toothless cat, and I can't find a decent guy to save my life.

And when I tell you all of these things, please don't respond with, "But what about that guy I set you up with? Everybody said he was nice!" That was months ago, and the first real date I've had in years, and if I would have liked the guy enough to go on another date with him I would have, all of which just makes my grumbly, sleep-deprived mood worse.

On the bright side I may steal your satellite radio out of your car and put it in mine because it makes me happy. Which I doubt you would consider a bright side, but still.

Sincerely,

Me

Aren't mothers just fantastic when it comes to not getting it?

Would it help if I said you were the prettiest girl I know on the Internet?

I think it's a rule that mom's aren't exactly helpful when dispensing advice. hugs.

Girl, I'm right there with you! I'm 27, live in a small town, can't find a job, never had a boyfriend unless you count a hand full of days in high school, never had a date unless you count aquanintance dates to dances in high school and one movie with a guy in college who turned out later to be gay, lol. I've never even been kissed actually. I live with my parents. In order to get my own place I have to have money and in order to have money I need a job, and in order to have more oppurtunity for a job I'd have to move to a bigger city, in order to move I'd need money! It's a vicious circle and pretty much life sucks, the end, lol.

My advice would be to hook up on one of those illegal alien dating web sites....
Theres always someone looking for romance, aka a visa!
and they could be your live in sex slave in return for citizenship...a wonderful way to make more income.

I'm not sure if you want random lurkers to comment and commiserate with you here but I'm pretty sure what you described above is going to resonate with a lot of people. I'm 27 in July, still a virgin (unlikely to change any time soon). Have a history of clinical depression and unemployment. That last part seems to have changed in the last year but I can still understand exactly where you're coming from in this post. It's hard to reach a certain age and wonder why you haven't achieved more than you have, especially when other people had such high expectations for you.

Argh, HOT BUTTON ISSUE.

Nobody needs a reason to be depressed, sometimes your brain just decides to get fucked up.

AAAAARRRGGGGHHH ::foam::

Ah, you know what? Sex before thirty? I don't think it's gonna happen on this end, either. You keep reminding me of why I have you on my f-list to begin with, and it's because you ROCK SO HARDCORE (and yeah, I share many of your complaints too) so I don't know.

Cake.

"But what about that guy I set you up with? Everybody said he was nice!"

Uggh. Like you're a charity case that should accept whatever's thrown at you. (not that the guy wasn't nice for someone but why should you date a person you're not into?)

There ar lots of ways to live one's life, lots of ways to be. (What I am trying to say is, maybe we should try not to give in to pressures of having a certain kind of life. If we want a certain kind of life, then yes, but only if we do want it, rather than think we should live that way because it's "advertised" as the way to live. -I hope I am making some sense.- ) *hugs*
