Man you guys are really enjoying this whole taco thing.

It's not our fault that tacos are so delicious.

The friend-zone, if you are the sort of person that has friends who wish you wouldn't be standing outside their door holding a cup of coffee and a rose at 6am to wish them a good day at work.

Yuck.

It didn't have that name at the time, but there were a couple times in my past I was perilously close to that.

No friendship is worth the loss of dignity and personal suffering that kind of crap entails. 

The closest I've ever gotten to that was this girl I met while working a crummy retail job in a small bookstore, pending word on a real job. She was really hot, but what I didn't realize at the time was she was also batshit crazy. Elizabeth in Bioshock Infinite kind of creeps me out because she really resembles this girl, right down to the facial structure, build, eyes, lips, dimples, and even the facial expressions. We hooked up several times, she had just gotten out of a divorce and didn't want anything serious, which was perfect for me. Long story short, she changed her mind about the serious relationship part and would show up at the bookstore all the time asking for me. It got a little creepy.

The coffee and rose thing was actually something that really happened to this girl I used to be really close too. We dated for over a year, realized we meshed really well on a select few really great aspects, and not so much in just about every other way, and began seeing other people while remaining "friends with benefits". She went on a couple of dates with this one guy, realized she had zero interest in him, and subtly tried to shake him, and by subtly, I mean ignoring his phone calls, making excuses every time he asked her out for over a month, and never responding to his texts, and even explicitly telling him he seems like he'd make a nice friend. She didn't want to hurt his feeling by outright saying she wasn't interested.

Anyway, I spent the night one night, and as she was getting ready for work at six am the next morning, she got a call from him. Since it was an odd time for a phone call, she answered rather than ignoring it like she had been. He told her he was in her parking lot waiting for her and had bought her coffee. That is incredibly creepy, and it kind of freaked me out. She told him she was busy, that it was really weird to show up at someone's place that early in the morning, and he had to leave NOW! Twenty minutes later she was ready for work. We totally expected he'd be gone by this time, we walked out of her apartment together as a car approached us, she muttered, "Ugh, that's him" and grabbed my hand. He drove past with an awkward (probably pained) smile on his face. With her hand in mine, he and I made eye contact, I gave him a wide mischievous grin and nodded at him.

Aaaand, he still kept trying to contact her for the next few weeks before finally giving up. He'd did other creepy things before that, like leaving roses on her doorstep.

That stuff can be totally romantic, if you are in a mutual relationship with someone, or if they are actually into you, otherwise it is just plain scary and desperate.

I was on the receiving end of an obsessive attraction from a young lady who mysteriously had my photo in her purse years after I had previously and briefly met her.

It was kind of odd but at least it confirmed that I was to some extent attractive if only to slightly potty girls.

Of course she found you attractive. You look like Michael Biehn! My question to you is how you could possibly resist her wily ways!?

Why should that make any difference...unless he's a humpback...?!

*gasp*

you meen hes a...

Gotta update my thread!

As this universe was created on October 23, 4004 BC, I am officially christening it Earth-231004* in the multiversal hierarchy.











*When it comes to writing out dates in numerical form, I prefer going with the British method over the North American.

Parents were in town the other day. My mom really wanted to see my place, so I cleaned it up real well and discreetly tucked away anything that might lead to uncomfortable questions.

Some freaking how I left my damn wookee on my bed and didn't notice it. She did and asked, "What's that?" 

"Uh, I was bored the other day and there just happened to be a toilet paper roll and some dryer sheets in arms reach..."

She laughed and shook her head at my juvenility. Phew, I would have never heard the end of that...

I actually watched a soccer game today.   Philadelphia Union vs.   D.C. United.    Union won 3-2.

I'd like to see dodgeball become a televised sport.

I went to see Lene Lovich in Edinburgh last night.

An amazing show all round.

The support band The Devices were worth the price of entry on their own but once Lene and her coven assembled on stage the gathering took on a truly magical aspect.

If she pops up you end give her a look.

She was sort of like a cross between my mum and the the snake goddess of Knossos.

For some bizarre reason after going into sleep mode my computer has woken up 'inverted' (colourwise) the forum looks great (the avatars are a bit weird but the balance of colours and tones is really rather special).

The best bit is all the drop shadows on the windows are now spooky glows... cool.

Watching 'Bryan' in this state is one of the strangest internet experiences I've had.

I did enjoy it but as I've heard the real McCoy sing "It's My Party" there is nothing that Faux Ferry can give me that I haven't already handled.

First chance I get, I'm going to replace all my organic body parts with robotic ones. Nobody is going to stop this Terminator with bullets.

If cats

A. Were omnivores instead of obligate carnivores

B. Were able to synthesize taurine

C. Had gills along with lungs

they'd be the perfect animal.

Has it gone forever or is it just beyond your abilities?

There are lots of methods that amateur and professionals might use to get more data from a poorly disc.

I don't know if it's worth the time/cost though for you to try if you haven't already.

Only a drunk would equate sobriety with stupidity.
