Ever had an emotional breakdown?

(1) have a shot-sized glass full of Absinthe. (2) have another glass of "something else" (still don't know what it is). (3) a spoon of sugar. Light up the absinth, and the sugar with it, wait until the sugar melts, then dump it in the absinth, mix it with the other "thing", mix it all up and GO.... wonderful..

The other "thing" is just water as far as I'm aware. You're describing what I've been told is the traditional way of drinking the stuff. Does the mixture go cloudy as soon as the other "thing" is added? That's what water does to aniseed-based drinks.

I was under the impression that all Absinthe was made using Wormwood (very toxic stuff ;) ) but I suppose anyone who lives where they make the stuff might know better!

Do you ever have the urge to cut off your ear and send it to a friend whilst drinking the green stuff? :D

Nah it's not water! It's some other kind of alcoholic stuff... Don't know... And to be honest, i can't remember if it goes cloudy... I can barely remember how they did it... Actually, i can barely remember anything from those nights i had it :LOL:

HA, I knew it. :LOL:

Edit: I have got to go to bed but I couldn't resist making my two cents on this emotion issue. The emotion of crying is a very poor coping mechanism and it is habitual. Meaning if you cry allot you will cry allot. While I can understand the appeal of self pity and using the emotion of crying to manipulate others to generate sympathy it isn't healthy to make a habit of. Crying is a form of self pity and hence a variety of self victimization and if done regularly can cause an inferiority complex. The best way to deal with problems in the real world is to be aggressive and attack the problem always maintain hope that if you try your hardest things will work out. Now I am not saying Natoma that you are doing this self victimization or anything of the sort only that crying is not a positive emotion, it does not come from good feelings etc and if done regularly will create a melancholy mentality. Personally I just finished working a 64 hour week and am planning on putting at least that many more in over the next week to help pay for Christmas and I am exhausted.(the work I do is far from sedentary very much a physical and mental high stress job, cooking… again. argh) But instead of caving into bills and other money matters I decided that I would go at my financial matters extremely aggressively and I have to keep a positive frame of mind about the matter so that I don't burn out so to speak. I guess what I am trying to say is that an aggressive mentality (even a little anger too a degree.) is a far better means of dealing with stress then crying, crying is a sign of weakness as well. Thats my two cents on this crying matter.

You were beat as a child for crying and told "Men don't cry" weren't you Sabastian? :p

:LOL: Of course crying can be positive. You've never heard of people crying when they're happy? Hell I cried when my parents surprised me with a trip to Great Adventure when I was 10 years old.

Man I think you just need to see a therapist or something. :LOL:

Natoma, you pansy. :D Next I expect you will be suggesting the men ought to get in touch with their feminine side FFS. Truth be known, I wasn't and my parents said no such thing to me, ever. I don't disagree that at times like your recent experience it can be positive but as a result it also can be habit forming, which is a terrible thing because instead of coping with the problem effectively the person with the problem becomes depressed and less empowered to deal with what ever the matter is. Anyhow I got no time for this I have a 15 hour day ahead of me. :cry: :devilish:

bah, drop the macho-man act... all men are just scared little boys inside if you find the right spot to break their shell, and I seem to be pretty good at finding it ;) . and as for that crying crap- i could give you a trainload of psychologists, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, and therapists that will tell you the opposite. not being able to get your emotions out and deal with them can lead to lots of problems (you might want to refer to my posts on serial killer/child molestor psychology.)

off topic... Natoma, I had no idea you were gay... got a pic? ;) 8)
 
Here are some pics, all from 2001. :)
