Snuffle and burn

smokingbootTired, and oh my bones so bloody cold-ridden! Exhaustion and all that. Friend round Thursday night, friends round during the weekend, all so much fun, and me felled by this lurgy. Oh I feel ill, and only whisky can help. Eeeugh.
Well, the election. Pox on it. There is much upset.
I have unfriended two people today. One I hardly knew and the other was a closer friend. She is the spouse of the crazy guy who took it upon himself to find me yesterday/the day before. I recall her as kind, but still, without saying anything, thoroughly right wing, and a little out there; she had been totally convinced the end of civilisation was nigh in 2012. Her husband was mortified when it didn't happen, but maybe she has rethought it as the beginning of the end days rather than the precise year. Who knows, we may yet have anarchy and small parishes running themselves, wise women gathering herbs while men patrol the boundaries, tin openers hanging from their belts. Today she put up some daft quote from Paul Joseph Watson no less, rejoicing about the death of identity politics and socialism; as though she hadn't been nurtured by socialist aspects of Brit society like the NHS! I didn't even really think it through. I was weary and ill and just thought enough, and defriended her.
It's only FB but it feels like more. Despite her views she always stayed friendly, and I should have just snoozed her. But sometimes you want to close a door for a while, and slam it by accident.
Nope, this is no damn good. I must go to bed.

Date: 2019-12-17 09:37 pm (UTC)What it has become for me is a way to keep up with people I know but haven't seen in years,or can't reach with ease. It is a very strange thing when I find that I have almost nothing in common with some of these old friends, that maybe I misjudged them even when we were all regularly seeing each other. Doesn't happen much, but when it does the feeling's most peculiar.
