Comments on: Live from the *ahem* conference http://www.metamorphosism.com/?p=910 We of course all understand it, being intellectuals.

Thanks, Jessica. Must do the speed/anonymous sexual encounter thing for a while, etc., so I can stop them all at once.

I’m not really much of a cat taunter lately, even. They’re such sweet little guys right now.

Generally I only smoked at work, and didn’t miss it at home, not even on the weekends.

Man, the very idea of a weave… there was a man at the conference with an aggressively bad toupee… it was scary. And a lady with a wig she wore like a coon-skin cap, with her own hair sticking out in front and brushed back up over the wig, for sort of a natural look, only the hair so didn’t match.

I did it the easy way. Everything you do that requires a burning tobacco accompaniment clearly must go. Fox’s bartender love has got the worst situation possible, and I will be thinking happy healthy-lung thoughts for him, but for you I have a plan. Do it the way I did it: I decided to quit all my vices at once. But I had a really good collection of vices going, see, and none of them really troubled me except the smoking. List the things you do that just aren’t the same without a cigarette in your hand: a) drinking wine, b) drinking beer, c) driving really fast late at night in a downpour, d) listening to Norwegian death metal, e) taunting the cat… then quit doing those things. My list was more like “a) doing speed, b) hanging out in dark spooky dives at four in the morning, c) walking home from anonymous sexual encounters, d) donning dark sunglasses and headphones for said walk,” so the changes I had to make {just for a couple weeks. but I was young, and detoxed pretty fast}) easy. Maybe you can pass cat-taunting duties to Gamma for a few months? And learn to love apple juice? And let Beta pick the music for you, for a while?

Yesterday, I once again tried to convince myself that I was the Queen of all Smokers, smoking no more than that wonderful first cigarette of the evening – until I smoked the second one, and the third, and the ones after that. It’s a terrible thing, addiction.

My fiance and I are desperately trying, but he’s a bartender, he can’t escape it at work. Every time he buys another pack, I froth furiously all the way to the corner store to buy my own. He can’t seem to quit because people smoke around him at work; I can’t seem to quit because he comes home and smokes around me.

Man, it’s frustrating. (drag, puff, drag puff puff drag) I’ve never really been a smoker, see, I’ve just been a serial quitter. Gah.
