| I met a fellow today. Without any foreplay at all, he told me he was a
Rosicrucian and went on about how the good ones are in heaven helping
humanity along.
I wanted to tell him they're doing a really shitty job, but held my tongue.

$ dict Rosicrucian
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Rosicrucian \Ros`i*cru"cian\, n. [The name is probably due to a
German theologian, Johann Valentin Andre["a], who in
anonymous pamphlets called himself a knight of the Rose Cross
(G. Rosenkreuz), using a seal with a St. Andrew's cross and
four roses.)]
One who, in the 17th century and the early part of the 18th,
claimed to belong to a secret society of philosophers deeply
versed in the secrets of nature, -- the alleged society
having existed, it was stated, several hundred years.
Note: The Rosicrucians also called brothers of the Rosy
Cross, Rosy-cross Knights, Rosy-cross philosophers,
etc. Among other pretensions, they claimed to be able
to transmute metals, to prolong life, to know what is
passing in distant places, and to discover the most
hidden things by the application of the Cabala and
science of numbers.

How is Michelle doing these days? Pine is a very interesting and
affectionate person! It's a honour to have met her and know her!
I am feeling a little "flat" and "empty" these days, for some reason.

I had three police officers and three mental health workers break into my
flat this evening, I stupidly changed my telephone number and didn't answer
the door - just wanted some peace and quiet.
They were going to take me into a psychiatric hospital but have agreed to
let me stay here in the flat on the proviso that
a) I see them regularly
b) I try Apripazole (sp?) Abilify
c) I have bereavement counselling.
When are you going to meet up with Pine?
As for feeling flat and empty, hopefully that will pass. Maybe something
really good like wl's bonus will happen and cheer you up. Also,
Christmas/New Year sometimes has that effect, you expect it to be so
fantastic and it just isn't!

I don't know. I am kinda shy and I'm broke! I am unemployed, a little
chubby, I think I'm going bald, and I live with my mother, so I am
embarrass a little, I guess.

I don't think I have Seasonal Affective Disorder, I have been kinda "flat"
and "empty" for quite awhile now, but perhaps next year will look be
better, 'ey? 'wiggly lumber' is doing better than I am! I feel jealous
of him for some reason.
I am just a loner!

There's nothing to be embarrassed about, any kind of mental illness is tough
to deal with, I am sure she would welcome you with open arms and give you a
great big hug and (little prayer) you will live happily ever after. I do
hope you get to see her one day and things work out for both of you. As
for being a little chubby and maybe going bald, I mean those things don't
really count when you like someone - if you get on well and can talk and
have a laugh, that is so much more important than things like looks.

Are you on medication? I know some medications can make one feel flat and
empty. If not, then maybe you are suffering from some kind of depression?
I gathered you are a loner, you seem to protect your space fiercely.
Sometimes though, it is worth the risk to let someone in, even to those
places that you want no one to know about. I think that's called trust.

| You would be surprised that the average person is somewhat of loner.
Everyone gets a false impression from watching TV and movies. Well maybe
not the average person, but at least 25% of people are loners and that's
quite a lot.

I read a story a couple of years ago saying that a million people in my
city have given up on dating and are flying solo. It must have been an
exaggeration, because everyone I meet seems to have at least a
girlfriend or boyfriend, but there are more loners out there than most
people suspect.
