Yeah, they are moving a big part of their archive to a new building, and re-cataloguing a bunch of material.
Fun summer job.

Good enough for me. I applied.

I sat through a Star Wars marathon earlier this year, starting from Phantom Menace, through to ROTJ, and it was awful. By the time I got to the good stuff, everyone else was fatigued and sleeping. We had TFA, but I was the only one up by the end of ROTJ, and I was kind of sick of it all by then.

If I had to do it again, I’d just watch Star Wars and call it a day.

Sounds like I should just get the Blu-ray.

I kind of don’t want this to happen.

Never loan money. You can give money, but don’t loan it unless you’ve got a legally binding contract.

Indeed. The situation pressured me into doing so. I would not have done so had I the time to think it through.

Some guy never payed me back $400. I’m mad about it and he has the gall to suggest I’m in the wrong for possibly being annoyed at him. It’s been nearly two years. I’m never seeing that money again. Goddamn assholes.

I apologise for being in hermit mode myself. Sorry to read you are feeling low Warb. I hope things pick up for you soon. And it’s great that despite our troubles we are making good use of this space Ender constructed for us and we are breaking down the frequent misconception that these sorts of issues are rare or something to be ashamed of. Ash good friends don’t avoid friends when they are having a hard time. That’s when good friends step up to the plate and fill it with yummy beans on toast. My ticks have just got worse and worse. It’s effecting my work. But I have my first session with a counsellor on Tuesday and I’m taking professional relationship advice on Wednesday. It a really hard time. Saturday night I was constantly on the edge of tears, last night I was on caffeine free caffeine overdose, so hyperaware, jittery, quaking, shaking, racing thoughts. I never been in this state before so it’s all new and scary stuff. My soon to be ex-partner has gone from yelling at me to stop to becoming genuinely concerned for my health. It kind of helps but it it also makes things a bit difficult when it comes to implementing the changes I need to make. I’ve started looking for places to move to. Knowing that Christmas is soon and that once the decorations come down I have to man up and announce my intentions is adding pressure. I wish someone else could do it all for me to be honest but I can’t. Restless legs at night are making sleep difficult too. But help is on its way and I have a new pal at work who is going through something similar. As Leela used to say “if you are wounded, find a man with scars” so keep the thread going because there seems to be a lot of need for it at the moment. And we can all help each other by breaking down stigma.

Sounds like you’re taking some positive steps. That’s great to hear. It’s scary as hell, of course, but the right way forward often is.

I wish there was something I could say to help, but all I can say is to hang in there and you’ll pull through. It looks like you’re headed in the right direction.

And agreed, big thanks to Ender for creating this space for us. It’s been very helpful to me since I’ve come back, even though it probably doesn’t seem that way.

Agreed.

Most of this is online, group chats and things that I can’t help but check, so I have to leave. Otherwise I’d do what you do. My real life social life is even worse. Though I am optimistic that may change next year.

Good friends don’t avoid friends when they are having a hard time.

I cut myself off from everybody last week, due to circumstances that made me realize they’re not all good friends, telling anyone who wants to talk to me, feel free to and I’ll be more than happy, and nobody has. I have to make the effort to talk to anyone, and it’s draining as hell that I don’t get anything back from it. Everyone is all busy with their own things, and I’m once again a bystander.

I didn’t even think about selling the digital copies, I didn’t realize anyone would buy that.

I’m rather satisfied with my new avatar.

Satisfied, Frink?

I am rather pleased with my new avatar.

This is quite the find. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

Me too. I realized everyone I thought was important, isn’t. I felt pretty alone before, but now I really am alone.

I’ve really come to hate the use of “gay” as an insult.

I don’t think most people here will understand that. I barely understand it myself.

I’m just waiting for this thing to collapse under its own weight.

Ingrid Bergman

While I’m not offended by it, I do think AVGN is tired, although the Polybius episode was great. I much prefer his movie insights these days.

Why anyone would want a massage by some stranger escapes me.

The man knows no decency.
