At that point, it was easy actually. It was a relief. I'd done the hard thing when he first came to Sydney in 2009 and slept on our couch. My husband hates him, so that was a lot of peacemaking, for me. Then he came and slept on our couch again in 2010 after a stint in Brisbane. More peacemaking. Then he made his way up and down the East Coast again, and returned to Sydney in 2011, called me at midnight asking me to come and meet him the following day at 12pm at Central station because he needed someone to talk to. At that stage we lived an hour and a half away from Central station, by train. I went in, and he didn't show up. I called his phone a dozen times and he finally answered at 1pm; I had woken him up. He said he didn't remember calling me and that he must have been drunk, and he was pissed off at being woken up. But he agreed to meet me and finally showed up at 2pm. He was broke; he wanted a place to stay. I told him what I had negotiated with my husband (who was already pissed off with me for asking that my brother come to stay with us). Which was he could come and stay, but had to go into rehab. He told me I was boring; I was suburban; I didn't understand; he was just young (he was 28); he didn't have a substance abuse or mental health problem. In the end he told me I was a bitch and I was kicking him when he was down, and stormed away.
I cried a lot that week. I said goodbye to the brother I had known and loved and accepted that any day, someone could call me and tell me he was dead, or that he had killed someone and was going to jail. There was nothing I could do to help him. It wasn't long after that he met my niece's mother. He squeezed some more money out of my parents, got himself yet another IT manager job (which he hated, again, quelle surprise), and began his downward spiral all over again. I should have told her to run. But I believed all his bullshit about how crazy she was, and how desperate she was for a baby. Meanwhile, he told her that I was a cold hearted bitch and a child abuser. It was only after she left him and we became friends that we realised what a typical sociopath he is, and that he had played us both. So yeah. It's not hard, anymore. I haven't really seen much of the kid bro I grew up caring about, for a long time. |

thanks for being nice reprise and vixnix. i did do way too much of that stuff, but even at my lowest i never did it more than once a week. i dont know how you could do it more often. i would be high for days and then it would take more days to recover until i felt well enough to do it again. but my bro has been taking it daily (and stealing to get it) for years now, with breaks in between when he went to jail/rehab/hospitals.
just thinking about dxm makes me nauseated. yuck. what a horrible, horrible drug. i wonder what kind of posts toc would make if he ascended to the fourth plateau of dextromethorphaning. hmm. intriguing, isnt it? |

Could be your body language. Ghosts interpret folded arms and crossed legs as being standoffish and not receptive toward haunting.

i get haunted all the time i think it's because i avoid eye contact with humans and then my gaze mistakenly lands on ghosts and they think i'm asking for it

I saw a fucking ghost once. I mean, most likely it was some sort of trick of the mind, but I really thought I saw it and it was in a house that was reputed to be haunted.

Unrelated but Miya just asked me if i'd ever heard of Baby metal cause they were on Colbert. She was telling me about how cute they were and i said its too bad about their music and she said "I sort of thought their shitty song was kind of catchy in that it's stuck in my head now" Which seems so unlike her. I guess she fell prey to the power of baby metal.

There's a bunch of weird stuff going on at this house. Creeky floors, doors keep slamming shut with no wind, alarm keeps going off for no reason.
I usually sleep with my phone playing music at a very low volume (I can't sleep well in complete silence), one morning I woke up and it was paused halfway through. I thought my sister was messing with me, so the next night I locked the door to the bedroom. Woke up and not only was the phone paused it was on a shelf (I put it in the nightstand the night before). I'm sure I don't sleepwalk. Quote:
