It's not dry, they are seriously just dense. I'm sure many people COUGHHELLIONSCOUGH actually thought you and I hated each other from how we act in the shoutbox and that thread I made once, but yeah. If they can't tell that you're kidding, their fault not yours. I have nothing else to add.
I am really getting sick of this... I was dumped in early August. He left me for his older supervisor at work. I've been stood up three times since September. It's October 6th... I had a guy text me and ask "are you're going to put out any time soon or am I wasting my time talking to you?" last week. All the guys I meet text me and ask for sexual favors. All I want is a guy who I can talk to. Someone who can put na actual sentence together without using the words "bro", "man" or "dude". I want someone who's first thought when seeing me isn't "I want to fuck her" but "I'd like to get to know her." I want someone who can make me laugh and who gets my weird sense of humor. I want someone who can see my flaws and accept me for who I am, as imperfect as I may be. I want a gentleman who will open doors for me, give me his jacket if I'm cold and compliment me without an alterior motive of getting in my pants later... Too bad chivalry is dead... [/vent]
If there's anyone who I believe deserves someone, and will find someone, who will treat them with the utmost respect and be there for them, it's you. Don't worry too much, because someone will come along. In the meantime, make the best of your time and have fun. I have faith in you. Dean: I'm in the same boat as you, but it happens in person. My humor is so dry that only people who really know me well understand that I'm kidding. Other times, people think I'm racist, sexist, and plain elitist. But I'm not. Times are tough.
Yeah. I'm not completely convinced that it's always their problem and not mine, though. Maybe I'm just being too self-conscious. I appreciate you saying that anyway though. I'm sorry to hear about all that happening to you. I know it's probably just rhetoric, but I think you're dead wrong. Broadly speaking I do pretty much everything that you mentioned there, and I try SO hard to be a good person. Not that I'm taking offense to what you're saying, but I know I'm not the only guy in the world who does their best not to be a prick. I'm too tired and ill to be trying to be poignant and insightful though, so yeah. I'll cut this short before I put my foot in my mouth if I haven't already. I hope you start meeting half-decent men. It's not impossible and you deserve a break. It happens to me in person too, hence the concern. If it happens with something I've typed it's at least a tad more excusable because it's harder to convey that sort of thing anyway then.
Yeah, that's understandable. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. If anyone here gets offended or is unsure how to take you, you can clarify. So long as you don't break any rules (which you don't), at least some of us will know what you mean / intend. We have your back, bud.
Thanks. I think I just am kind of tactless in general at times, so I think I am going to try and reel it in a little bit. But yeah, thanks. I appreciate it.
I don't really feel like making friends at university. I know it's odd, because everyone goes like 'ZOMGZ BEER AND NEW PPLZ' but honestly, I don't have the energy or the will to put so much effort in making friends. It's sounds horrid and anti social, but I can't help feeling this way.
I felt like this when I started uni. I think it's because I have a really close group of friends so I always met up with them instead of making lots of new friends. It does require effort and I guess I was pretty anti social at uni haha.
That's the thing, I have moved to London so I don't have many school friends here. And those that are here are towards the central side while I am near Greenwich (at Goldsmiths). I dunno, I'm okay when I am in university, and have normal conversations but I come back home and I feel empty. Or something.
You are in a new place, you are probably feeling empty and wierd because it's hard to adjust to this new life at uni. I studied Law at uni and I felt like everyone who was on my course were stuck up and I felt like I wouldn't fit in, although some people were stuck up I did meet really nice people too. You have to take things slowly and just talk to a few people and see how that goes. Make friends with people in your classes because you will be with them for the next three years lol. If you are not one of those 'ZOMGZ BEER AND NEW PPLZ' type of person as you mentioned before that's fine. You really don't have to be like that to fit in to uni.
A co-worker and friend of mine passed away last night.. he was such an amazing guy. Everyone at my work is distraught and my friend Niki who also worked with us was dating him and I've been trying to console her but she's in shock the poor thing. Zachary Dubay was an amazing person. He had the most amazing laugh I have ever heard and if you ever heard his laugh you would know it was him from a mile away. It sounded like a freaking hyena. I'll miss hearing that laugh from across our store at Best Buy and see the odd glances from customers and having to say "No, no one's having a heart attack.. that's just Zach." and break out in a smile. I'll miss how he would say "Good morning!" to me every day no matter what time of day it was. He was so quirky. I can't sum up in words who Zach was you just had to know him.. Today is a sad day.. I just needed to post this.
Anya, that's terrible. I'm so sorry for your loss. It gets a little easier with time. My my friend/housemate's boyfriend was shot and killed at the beginning of the semester and though we're all still greiving, we're starting to get by and Ilana is even beginning to smile again. It get's better. I promise.
I just got back from Applebees and everyone from work gathered there to be with each other. It was nice. Did a toast. I found the news article of what happened. click here. So sad.. I'm just glad this day is over now. I'm exhausted. I don't know when his wake is but my store is going to take us all on a bus to his wake, and whoever works can skip that day and go if they want. And they're going to have neighboring stores come cover for us at ours while we go. Pretty awesome that they're doing that.
