Ah, feels good to be back on the boards. This whole work, break, work sleep thing just isn't fun anymore.

/me wonders if Chev has a tatoo...

/me wonders if Chev has a tatoo... :eek:

Yeah! I did draw cute little evil bubles! U know the things kids make with water ans soap and that get carried away with the wind... Gonna post them online soon and provide a link :p

Bubles scare me pretty bubles are out there to get me, but I will get them firdt *pop*

Today must have been one of the weirdest days I've lived in a while...

I started at a new job, which pays better than my last job. After a good long day's work, I went to the gym and saw an old friend. Talked to him for a while. Then called back this place about a job, and immediately went in for an interview (still very sweaty from working out...but the interviewer said he didn't care).

So I got *that* job, which pays a good $4 an hour more than my new job (which pays $1.50 more per hour than my last job). I'm supposed to start that next week. :p so I have to give my boss his week's notice on my second day at work... :D hehehe.

And to top things off, on my way home after my interview (I was on my bike...I go everywhere on my damned bike) I successfully wiped out for the third time in as many weeks. :shake: This was the best one though, as I've got a seriously bloody knee, one of my hands is all scraped up, and there's an imprint of the pavement on my right cheek (face cheek; not the lower cheek :p ). The best part, is that I wiped out just after thinking: "Today just couldn't get any better."...woops!

Of course, today could have gotten better, if I'd gotten a chance to spend time with my wonderful special friend.

Oh well; we're supposed to spend tomorrow evening together, and then we're going to see Shrek 2 on Friday, at the theatres.

I just hope she isn't just leading me on, it certainly doesn't seem like she is...but I can never be sure with women. And I know there's this guy at her work that she likes (she's admitted to it), and I *know* I could never compete with him if he wanted to get with her. That doesn't really inspire too much confidence in me :p .

And I've been wondering...do girls often tell guys that they make them feel safe? And if so...how serious do they tend to be about it? (Yes...I *am* asking for generalizations here... :p )

Whew...*another* long RB post. It almost looks like I'm going for some sort of record. ;)

Congratulations!

And no, girls don't often tell guys that they make them feel safe. Actually, that's one of those things they only say when they mean it. So, you can be sure it's true. It's not really like they tell that to friends. It takes some very important male figure in their life. Brother figure could do, but still... I think she is trying to come to terms with her various feelings. Let's say, for instance, you're the guy who makes her feel safe, is fun to cuddle with, can make her laugh and so on and so forth, while the other guy gives her the thrill. That's a frequent combination. Wouldn't suprise me at all.

Never, ever, think that you won't get any girl that any other man wants. Ever. Firstly, you'll never get a girl who isn't really interested in you. And you will always get a girl who is really interested in you. The rest doesn't really matter.

Never, ever, think that you won't get any girl that any other man wants. Ever. Firstly, you'll never get a girl who isn't really interested in you. And you will always get a girl who is really interested in you. The rest doesn't really matter. Now THAT is some good advice. :thumb:

Plus, every girlfriend I've ever had, I've got after thinking "Man, she'd never want to be with me". Double plus, many friends of mine now curse their lack of confidence as youngsters after discovering (far too late) that several girls they ahd previously written off as being out of their league actually turned out to have thought the same thing about them.........

That's the biggest thing that many of us would change about our lives if we could go back in time. You boys should heed our words and always back yourself!!

omg.

This is seriously wrong. (http://sa.nextwish.org/Music/FateOfAtlantis-MCRon.wav) Makes me want to cry.

Only got about the first minute of that because I'm in a public library but that's some bizarre stuff. Does it get any more bizarre after that first minute or so?

Oh well, going to see shrek 2 again tomorrow but this time I'll get to see it all!

Interesting, it's nearly 6:30 am and I'm still up, this is late even for me

Ejsmith, your link started to download automatically on my computer. Since I did not know what it was I stopped it. I think I would have prefered a link to a site that asked me first if I wanted to download before it did it for me. Preferably one that actually told me what I would be downloading.

I think I should become a song writter...
* Rotku says we blame Deathmage
<Rotku> blame someone who isn't here
<Slith> Yes, Deathmage. That rabble rousing troublemaker.
<Slith> It'ssurely him.
<Rotku> that solves everything
<Slith> *It's surely him.
<Slith> No, it's Noc_Nomad!
<Rotku> hmm, Noc is as good as anyone eles I guess
<Rotku> how about them both?
<Takara> hmm...blaming Deathmage
<Slith> Yes, he does have a thing for that.
<Takara> I like it
<Takara> Deathmage made us do it
* Rotku starts singing "Blame Deathmage"
<Slith> All at the same time.
<Takara> Where?
<Takara> Blame Deathmage!
<Slith> To the tune of "Blame Canada," but less syllables.

Yes, you're right, I have poor music tastes.

You guys are freaks.

I wanna be a pirate! Sailing on the sea killing squirels and evil bubles, that would be wonderfull...

I'm glad the wine incident didn't end up so bad, she did understand what I was trying to say and not what I was saying!

Yep it's a strange world we're living in :p

To everyone that knows me, and that's probably only the chatroom regulars, I'm baaa-aack :D

Passed all my exams, though barely, and now I can get back to important things in life. Like the chatroom.

I can't do the chatroom...because my crummy Uni blocks all IRC channels...this is so annoying!

Ah well...I'll make do with the boards, and when I get back to India next week, I can hit the chat rooms again. Hmm...

/me wonders how many folks still remember lil ol' me... :cool:

ejsmith's link is a .wav file. It appears to be sound bites from the Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis game strung together in such a way as to sound sexual in nature. Mildly amusing just for the effort, but nothing all that interesting IMO :)

I get to write my exam in a few hours, and I'm really nervous.

Yes, I'm allowed notes, but I still don't feel confident.

Oh well, by 9:30 tonight, it will be over.

Don't forget about due celebration when you're over with it ;)

Chevalier don't take offence to this but for someone who is an 18 year old virgin and isn't even in a relationship you seem to think you know a lot about women and relationships. So how does someone with so little experience have so much advice?

Dammit! I don't know anything for the test tomorrow :( . I was bussy fixing a document that we must also handin tomorrow so I had no time to study!

Damn our group product was horrible to everything goes wrong towards the end of the year, maybe I must look for another school or something.

Anybody knows a nice job for a poëtic, sarcastic, crazy wannabe pirate?

Tonight it's party time! Parrrrtyyy! Because tomorow is The Saint Jean, Which is Québec national day, my friend and I will party all the night... Cool...

Alchool here I come!

Bonne Saint-Jean, Ofelix!

I-glou, i-glou, i-glou... :roll:

Good on ya, Nocster. :thumb:

Ack, I'm getting sick of clubbing, its really boring. I now KNOW I'm gettin old! :D

Yeah. Loses all fun over time. At this present moment, I'm actually quite comfortable with my glass of wine rather than a boozing night out. Unlike when I was younger.

And the exam is done! All I need to do now is fill out a course evaluation and get it back to the prof.

Now for the nice celebratory drink ;)

I haven't been out clubbing seriously for about 6 years now. But then again I'm 27 and last time I went to a nightclub I ran into an ex-girlfriend and ended up in bed with her that night. Mindblowing.

I realized clubbibng was way overrated a few weeks after my 18th birthday.

I'm discovering how truly uncoordinated I am with each new bellydance class. *sigh*

I'm sure clubbing lost all its appeal to me after I turned about 20.

But plenty of people I know in London love it and follow all the top DJs around to different events, especially ones that are supposedly so 'exclusive' that you have to get your name onto the 'guest list' to get in.

clubbing sucks :p

Back to normal on Friday - yay! No annoying school filters... ^_^

Grandma got me the D&D DVD yesterday as well. And this morning she asked if it gave me nightmares... weird...

How can a film with graphics like that give you nightmares??

Anyone ever get the feeling that they might have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder?

I mean, I have always had some of the symptoms (http://mentalhelp.net/poc/view_doc.php?type=doc&id=506), but have always put them off as laziness and what not. But after reading an artical in a magazine, I'm not quite sure anymore.

Well I'm in dubio, I flunked my exam by 0.1 point. But Holland made it into the quarters at Euro2004.

I feel kinda good though, don't know why. Maybe because I know I'll make the next exam or if Holland wins the next match I'm in a plain to portugal.

Anyone ever get the feeling that they might have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder?I'm affraid I have it to. But not as worse is 4 years ago. There where moments there that Iwalked into a classroom sat down. And the only thing I remember was the bell at the end of the lesson...

I think Frosty has ADHD :p ;) :D

Hmmm.

I'm going to make a webpage with an acquaintance and another yet unknown person (you see, it has to be someone within the year level, and the only two badass as computers are me and him).

http://www.tvnzwebchallenge.co.nz/site/2003winners/secondary.htm here is last year's winners. Go have a look!

I'll keep you people updated, but with me and his awesome skills we would probably at least get a two. PLACE THY BETS NOW! :D

I'm betting AGAINST Deathmage, just for the hell of it. :D

@Deathmage: Back in the times when there was no Flash (tm) or PHP Nuke templates and Java Script or framesets were novelty, people were making sites manually or in FrontPage. While the FrontPage ones typically sucked a lot, some of the manually made ones were true gems. Unfortunately, they're down by now or have been replaced with soulless templates.

Heck, I don't have any of those oldschool sites anywhere on my drive, not even those I made myself :( Perhaps because I don't really make graphical show-off sites anymore and only typically informative ones with minimalistic graphics like my own site (http://www.chevalier.szm.com) or my WC2 clan's site (http://www.exit.szm.com).

@Jaguar:

Let's see...

Tal only knows how many times I haven't closed an HTML tag on the news. Not listening when spoken to directly? If someone bugs me when I'm thinking about something important and I'm being too polite to tell the person to go pester someone else, yeah. I hate repetitive tasks. I have serious troubles focusing on a lecture or religious ceremony that lasts longer than 30-45 minutes. Hate chores. Dislike anything mundane with little exception. Prefer improvised approach (which doesn't prevent from creating a masterpiece of planning tactics if that is necessary to rule and own). Sustained mental effort... heck, I can do 40 hours of sustained mental effort but systematic study isn't my realm. I always lose pens (I don't even own any >$1 pen because of this, if any one of my pens is actually mine in the first place). Finding my glasses in the morning can last a couple minutes even if I wake up sober. Extraneous stimuli... hell, no. There's a hierarchy of things and not being interrupted in my job is very close to the top of that hierarchy. Unless the extraneous stimuli has a pair of beautiful legs, I mean, eyes. Forgetful? Heck, I would first have to try to remember. And the worst thing ever is looking for lost things. Even my own ones. I also hate it when people don't accept a job as done until enough (in their mind) time has been spent, no matter the actual result.

Fidgeting... sometimes I'd stop in order to show respect. Difficulty organising things? I don't have any, if I actually try to, which doesn't actually happen more often than once in millennia. I don't leave seat if I'm expected to be seated, but that's it. I prefer to stand all the time and often walk (like walk in a lift). Running when inappropriate? No, but try to keep my pace when I'm walking. Troubles with engaging in leisure activities quietly? No. But it's due to manners more than anything. Driven by a motor? Thou shalt not mess with me for I am the vessel of power :p Talking excessively... What else am I doing right now?

Blurting out answers before questions are completed. Many times I listen out purely out of respect. I know it before. Sometimes before they open their mouth, let alone finish speaking. Interrupting others? On important business that isn't my own and if I can't address the person in a later time, I come close, wait to be asked, and cut in the first pause if I'm not. Well-mannered persons catch the idea and ask.

So, do I qualify? :shake: :lol:

/me yawns

Muse's version of House of the rising sun rules!

I need some love right now I'm bit depressed if I look at the pile of schoolwork. and getting only negative test results right now :( ..

Go Deathmage. Win that TVNZ challenge! You could be on TV!

Ahhhhh, my number of the beast post 666 :evil:

Now I'll cry.

I can't believe I'm actually single again after over four years in a relationship that was going nowhere in a real hurry. Yay! :thumb:

Can't you order it? If you place a bigger order, shipment costs could be lower and some part would be charged once only.

Not sure about the context of this text, but it seems to be from a textbook of some sort. The first passage seems to be talking about the criteria for evaluating the design of the data input system.

The second passage appears to be talking about working with third-party software (apps that you have not developed) and feeding data into them. As is usually the case with this type of software, it'll never check everything the way you need/want it checked, so you have to know what it will do so that you can feed it what it requires and what it won't do so that you can handle that validation on your own. Then it lists a few ways that you might perform your own validations.

For example, at my company we have data entry screens that require transactions to be keyed twice, at different times, by different people before the data is accepted (double entry). We also have tables of data (e.g.- warehouse code table) that are used to verify that input values are valid and calculations to determine if entered numbers are unreasonable changes to the previous value.

Hope this helps and isn't too delayed to be of use... ;)

I'll remember it when I have IT next ;) thanks

Don't you just hate it when you install a new program and it keeps freezing on you no matter how you tinker with the settings....aaaaarreeeegggg!

It's even worse when you install a new program and something else starts freezing up for no reason. ;)

Once a girl asked me why I did talk to the moon, but not to people.

My answer was: The moon is always there, every night. You can't say that from people.

She nodded and said I had a point! At that moment I opened a new beer because it was an amazing night...

I guess that's why you talk to us too. These forums are always here and willing to "listen".

Gah! In a little less than 24 hours, I get to be running around downtown handing out lollipops with various campaign slogans to the local youth.

Between 1am and 3am I have the great *joy* to try to encourage youths to vote on Monday in the election.

How do I get myself into these things?

Bought Arcanum today. Hope it'll work.

On the street... (http://content.collegehumor.com/media/movies/skeleton.wmv)

wow, that skeleton rocks. :D :D :D :D

Very entertaining. That clip looks like it was filmed in Mexico. Skeletons have always had a special place in my heart. We have a few very nice ones decorating our house.

You can now behold my... appearance... at the Sorcerers Place Member Photos MSN Group.

Well actually I do talk to people but back in those days not as much as now. Still I'm a bit of a solidary man, but I'm better then a while ago.

Party party to night to bad I got a cold :(

*sigh* Why do women have to be so damn complicated?

Still so strange how it's possible to be so happy; but only when you're around a certain person. Too bad it's not a two-way thing.

"Too many things going on right now." *sigh*

I guess "just friends" is better than nothing. Much better; especially as a *close* friend.


Starting a new job monday...a new job that pays $4/hour more than my current one. Sweet.

And I just realized that I've lost 10 lbs since last week. Very cool.

just friends is wonderfull! AS LONG AS THEY MEAN IT! I got one just friend that would always be a Just friend and that sucks! But I see he mondayu and I also see that other girl monday :) I think live looks good right noe :) .

Gonna play some music then I sleep...

@Faerus: A close friend still has a better starting position than a stranger. Moreover, she seems less and less serious, now calling upon objective obstacles. This means she might eventually give in should you press hard enough upon her ;)

Forget my last post here I can't even figure out what I was trying to say back there :D Was a bit drunk last night :D

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

Was a bit drunk last night I was under the impression that you're a bit drunk all the time. :p

**** this. My mother is threathening with a divorce and blaming me for all her problems.

The women is out of her freaking mind.

I was drunk this night and it didn't show ;)

Oh well, it never shows when I'm posting drunk :shake: :lol:

@Uytuun: I guess she will change her mind when she calms down a bit.

I'm not sure if I want her to, chev. She's done a great deal to ruin the last half year of my life and my father's life.

Leave home then and see how well you cope on your own :wave:

I'm going to Uni next year. Three more months and I'll be away from the b*tch at last.

Monday again. It only seems a few days ago that it was Monday last time.

Oh well, it never shows when I'm posting drunk ...that's only because you're always drunk (or so it seems). So we never really know what you're like when you're sober.

:p

...that's only because you're always drunk (or so it seems). So we never really know what you're like when you're sober. I think you may have to define the word sober to some of our dipsomaniacs.

By this time tomorrow, I'll have cast my vote in the federal election.

Canada really needs a minority government right now.

Anathema ruled yesterday! Those guys are really cool! I was standing there enjoying myself.. drinking beer talking to old friends... Live is good, sometimes!

/me not always drunk!

@Splunge: define drunk :p :lol:

"If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain.
If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain.
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape.
I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape."Ahhh, Buffett. Caught a bit of his performance in NYC on a morning news show last Friday. Good stuff!

"Yes I like pina coladas;
And getting cought in the rain;
I'm not much into health food;
I am into champagne;
I've got to itch you by tomorrow noon;
And cut to all this red tape;
At a bar calles O'Mellies;
Where we plan our escape;"

Now, my fellow Canadians, lets get out there and vote.

Lord knows that with a minority government we will be doing it in a years time again anyways.

I like Pina Coladas in coffee :p

Ice cold banana & chocolate ice-cream + hell hot black coffee + Pina Colada (lots) = rules.

I was going to put this in the thread to which it refers (http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=000865;p=3#000 096), but I knew I'd get scolded by the mods for going off-topic in the Alley, so I thought I'd put it here instead.

Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir chevy turned about
And gallantly, he chickened out.
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir chevy.

:D :p

(j/k chev - I think I've been playing too much of the Song Quote Game :shake: )

The Song Quote Game is too hard. I can never get anything in that.

@Splunge: I could continue that forever, but there was no point. It turned into mindless chopping. If the other side kept all to the same standards of debate as you, I wouldn't have left.

I appreciate the compliment, chev. I realised awhile back that nothing constructive comes out of making personal attacks in the Alley. And especially after Laches left, and explained his reasons for doing so, I’ve tried to stick to the issues and stay away from making it personal (and hopefully succeeded for the most part). Plus it just makes your opposition look that much worse if they decide to do some mud-slinging and you don't reciprocate. ;)

I may be a smart-ass, but I’m a respectful smart-ass. :D

Erm... the Pina Colada song was done by Rupert Holmes, not Buffett.

So Canada now has a Liberal minority government and it looks like the Liberals will be looking to the NDP for support.

And yes, I did vote.

Hey! Random Babbling is a politics free zone!

Keep those political debates in the AoDA.

Random Babbling is for senseless gibberish only.

Wibble.

:p

Good on you HB! Keeping the peace :p

Well, off to yet another hockey practice... I snapped my hockey stick last night at practice. Luckly it was only a cheap practice one.

...I think I used the word practice too many times :hmm:

I like Pina collada!Once we made our own, that was really tasty!

Last night was wonderfull although I had the feeling I did miss things at some points, must have been the beer or the beuatyfull ladies! :)

Rupert Holmes may have done a "Pina Colada" song, but this one is a Buffett song. Verified by this link (among others): Escape (The Pina Colada Song) (http://www.kronawithleitner.at/lyrics/showtext.php/id/4708)

@HB: What makes you believe that politics is not senseless gibberish? :rolleyes: :D

I'm a bit tired of schoolwork gonna play Magic tonight!

It's proclamation/graduation night tonight. :D weeheeeee

What do you proclaim?

May the Booze be with you, Uytuun! :shake: :lol: :tie:

My speakers are dying and I have to wait a few days for replacements to be delivered. :wail: I hate waiting. It's driving me sane! :(

Takara? Sane? Is?

Cannot process. Does not make sense. Input Error. INPUT ERROR!

Well, normally someone would say it's driving me insane. I AM insane, so it has to be driving me sane.

I knew that. I just didn't think that anything could push you that far. :lol:

Choice. New Zealand just beat England in the cricket. Wahey!

Plus, I see we have a new "Idiot of the Week". Double wahey!

4 am, time to go to bed... Will have to finish the story after getting up. Now it's too late.

Ice cold banana & chocolate ice-cream + hell hot black coffee + Pina Colada (lots) = rules Well, that explains a LOT! :p

Another hot day. Have to admit that it beats the really cold days in the opposite season. All I have to worry about in my HD overheating.

Hmmm... the link you posted has the credits incorrect I fear, that song was written by Rupert Holmes, and it does not show up anywhere in Buffett's Discography... http://margaritaville.com/discography/

It was, however, released on Homes 1979 album Partners in Crime http://www.oakbaychiro.com/AlbumInfo.htm

I'm not quite a true Parrothead, but I do know a bit... :D

in other news, having a social life can really wear a person out... who knew having friends was so tiring? :p

Horah for the return of X666X - may the spam in the chatroom flow! May the valient Knight of Spam stop all the bot-raping that no doubt goes on there whenever a certain person is around ;)

I guess if I spent more time in the chat room I would actually understand what you're talking about.

Probably not :p

Graduated!! Got first prize for English and for German. :D :D . And tomorrow there's Werchter. Life's good at the moment.

Chev, the booze was with me all right...got home at 6 am. But I'm hangoverless. :D

Congratulations. And remember, an SP member can do anything (http://groups.msn.com/SorcerersPlaceMemberPhotos/jaguar.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=780) that they put their mind to.

Thanks, Jaguar, we are indeed a bunch of geniuses here at SP. One day, we'll take over the world for sure. :D

Stefanina - I bow to your superior knowledge. My sources were suspect, as you knew. Ah well, I thought I knew something once, but I was mistaken. :o :rolleyes:

@Dragonfly: Well, the original idea was very simple. I had some Banana Split (banana and chocolate) ice-cream and put it in a cup. It struck me, however, that I needed a coffee urgently. So I put the cup with ice-cream where needed and poured a stream of hot and black espresso over it. Then, I realised I also needed alcohol urgently. So I took Pina Colada and poured it in there as well. It tasted good, coffee with chocolate, banana and pineaple... bliss. It's one of the certified chev drinks (http://chevalier.szm.com/drinks.html) ;)

@Uytuun: Lack of hangover is a rare blessing :holy: :lol:

Chev, I gonna try that one soon! REAL soon yum! To bad we don't have pina collada nor ice around right know, how does coffee with banana taste? I once had Coffee with Pisang Ambon and that wasn't that bad :D .

Congretulations Uytuun! Also with the no hangover! :D

I must watch soccer tonight I don't like at but some friends daid that I MUST come o well let the beer be with me :D

I had my last computing course today :cry:

at least I got my program to work - but now it will most likely be deleted off the school system for good :cry:

It was a good program...

but this even better!

Hmm, I didn't understand much of that at all. For example, what does "PWNED" mean?

Meaning of pwned (http://www.pwned.net/)

I know this because awhile back an SP member said I pwned another member (who shall remain nameless to avoid causing him further grief ;) )

:D

Splunge - that was a very convoluted explanation. Surely I wasn't the only person who didn't know what that meant.... :(

2 more days... Then it's the holidays!

*looks at his watch*
And I should really be off to school!
*bikes off*

Cool. New Zealand beat Australia in the netball last night. Go the Silver Ferns!

@Harbourboy - are you referring to the explanation in the link, or the explanation on how I knew what it meant?

If the first, I thought it was pretty clear.

If the second, I gave person X a good-natured jab over something he said (imagine, me giving a jab :p ), and person Y said I pwned person X as a result.

Splunge - the explanation in the link. Does everybody know that story about PWNED except me?

You weren't the only one. I didnt know either harbourboy.

Glad it's not just me then. Hmmm, lunchtime....

:D It's so very rare that I know I'm right, I just had to point it out... *grin* I'm not usually so obnoxious.

I'm beginning to understand what I'm supposed to do in my bellydancing class. Now I just gotta convince my body to do it...

Actually managed to get my full booking in on the computers today. Yesterday, some wench decided to kick me off the computer because she had it booked after me but the wench was hostile from the get-go. Man I hate people like that.

OMG my paper was to creative :S. I must rewrite it in a more busineslike style :( .

I don't know how to do it captain...

I've heard another version of the origins of pwned - but that one there sounds more likely

@SleepleSS: You need to substitute nice mellifluous syntax with double speech trash, use politically correct vocabulary and so on. Plus, where you needed one word, you will need a phrase.

Fear my acomplishment!

Tanks Chev! I also made it a set of fackts instead of creating a story I did the first time. I just handed it in so I hope it's allright this time.

I'm so glad I don't have to go to work today. I think we'll rent and movie and make a mountain of popcorn to celebrate.

Better make it a good movie.

Or real good popcorn!

I've had no luck with this question, despite all the people I've asked. Now i'm turning it over to the wonderful people of SP. My question: Why is it that some girls will stay attached to a guy, no matter how bad they are treated?

Oh dear, I think this question should probably have its own thread in AoDA because there are going to be some controversial answers.... (that's your cue, Chevalier.....)

@Wiegraf Folles: do post that in the AoDA. Seems a nice debate material and is quite related in topic to that last thread I've made there.

Went to the chatroom tonight for the first time in over a year, and I didn't have anything to say. Ah well, sounds about right for me.

Breathe in; breathe out. Repeat. *sigh* Sunday night's gonna be a big night; I get to find out if that incredible girl chooses me over this other guy she likes...Things aren't looking good for me, I'm about 95% sure she's gonna choose him to spend monday with.

I mean, she suggested the other day that we might spend another night in her tent again this coming sunday night. I brought it up once or twice since, and tonight when I mentioned it; she said that this other guy had just invited her to go to the them park with him again on monday. She said she'd choose depending on her mood. But she wouldn't have brought it up at all if she hadn't already decided to go with him...she's just giving me some advance warning so that I don't take it too hard when she shoots me down on sunday.

I can't believe it's come to this! I know she had a crush on him beforehand. But then she spent a day with him at a theme park and then the movies. After which she told me she doesn't like him that way anymore...but she had a date with him last night. She enjoyed it...

And now she has to decide whether she wants to spend sunday night/monday morning with me, or go to the theme park with this guy again.
*sigh* :( .

I think I'm gonna cry...I know she's gonna pick him. I just know it. I hope she doesn't, I *wish* that she won't. But I know she will. She has to. He's got so much more to offer her than I do. She says her decision will depend on her mood; on what she feels like doing (ie. a good fun day at a theme park with a fun guy; or spend the night in the arms of a depressing, quite boring guy)

...what can I do? I just hope she chooses the guy that makes her happy (or happier)...and I'll just pray that that guy is me. Hopefully that guy will make her as happy as she makes me.

EDIT: Oh yeah...and she can't do both because she doesn't wanna risk being burnt out for work the next day...and I'm with her on that. The last thing I want is for something bad to happen to her 'cause she's too exhausted because of me...
And plus; as much as the choice I know she's gonna make is gonna huty me...it needs to be made. I want to know if she'd rather spend time with him or me.

Even though it might not really even mean anything...doesn't matter. It'll mean a lot to me. This may be just a mood decision for her; but to me it's her choice between him and me.
*sigh*

What happened with the other girl you had mentioned before Faerus? The one you were working with that liked you. Maybe it's time for you to spend some time with different people. It seems like the one you like has you tied around her little finger. You may think being dependable is a positive thing but I think it is actually hurting you. She knows that you will be there any time she wants so there is no challenge there. It is so true that people usually want what they can't get. Break a couple of dates with her and I bet she will start to get interested in why you haven't been around. Spend some time with other people and develop a social life that does not have her as the nucleus.

You don't have to cut her entirely out of your life but if you change your dependancy on her she might start to realize that she has a certain dependancy on you.

Break off a date? Never. And even if I wanted to have a social life that didn't include her; I just don't have any friends within a half-hour's drive. And since I don't have a car...

I dunno...I don't work with that second girl very often (once every few weeks). And I don't really like her. I mean, if the first girl weren't here, there'd be no question. But now; I can't just forget about that first one. She's the one I've fallen for...so she takes priority :p .

And I don't think she has me wrapped around her finger. I mean, almost all of the times we've gone out have been because of my suggesting it.

And I like being there whenever she wants me. Too bad she almost never actually comes to see me...it's almost always me going to her. Not sure I care though...as long as I'm with her.

Oh God I hope she chooses me...

I see living people! They are running in cirkels every day, people and places places and people, all running out of time.

I see an army of badgers coming from the north trampeling down everything they encounter on there path to glory. Sword in hamd armed to the teeth.

I see a tree filled with fresh pickles growing there in the bright morning sun speadind a curious odeur.

I see a man waiting for something to happen, he is standing there for two weeks now with a cowboy hat and a violin in his hand. He doesn't eat he doesn't sleep he just stands there. Waiting.

I see the warriors of the moon, trying to stop the endless attacks of the Maiden ****** Demons. There they are two paladdins a warrior a sorcerres and a clerk.

I see a bunny, hiding eastereggs on webpages and in games. It's a real large bunny a bit taller then the average human. He whispers my name, and tells me to follow him...

I see a portal leading down to the center of the earth, this is where hell looks like: It's filled with BBQ's and hockey girls. Lucifer is sitting there on his throne smiling at his his demons and the topless dancers, having a good time.

I see a big evil eye looking down from the sky watching people every inch they move.

I see a rockband playing a Turbonegro cover drinking beer and having a good time while groupies are at there feed. Fans are excited fueld by the loud music and alcohol.

I see a man on the other side of the street he has a gun.. better stop looking now...

@Faerus: Never take it literally when a girl says she no longer likes some guy "this way". Or you. Or that she actually does. No, I'm not being sarcastic here, I mean it seriously. It always needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.

As I see it, the girl is having a dilemma. If she really were seriously into that guy, a night in tent with you would be a non-option. It's one of those things that don't mean anything if you're single, but tend to look different when you're taken.

However, the whole rest suggests that you get it right and she's preparing you for something worse. It seems she wants to keep both of you - you and that other guy. Head to the AoDA (this thread (http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=000876)) if she seems to like you on certain days of the month better than on the others. Maybe she wants you to compete with that other guy - either for you to prove better than the other guy, or for her to confirm she's making the good choice.

Errr - and I'm sure that Chevy isn't suggesting that you beat the living **** out of him either...

Tra la la la la la, dance the whole day long!!

@Aik: Yeah, that's never the solution.

@Faerus: You have to prove more attractive to her than the other guy, sure. But you won't achieve that by wishing, regretting and such. If you start thinking he has more to offer, he will have more to offer. You never fully know what the girl likes, what precisely her preferences are, and all. People won't believe in you if you won't believe in yourself.

Edit: One more thing:

And I don't think she has me wrapped around her finger. I mean, almost all of the times we've gone out have been because of my suggesting it.Sorry, but that's exactly why she has you wrapped around her finger.

I just got my classlist for next year, most of the cool people are in the other class next year, that's not nice...

I gonna see Autumn tomorow!

Never take it literally when a girl says she no longer likes some guy "this way". Or you. Or that she actually does. No, I'm not being sarcastic here, I mean it seriously. It always needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Chev, where do you get your information? No offence here Chev, I know you are smart but how did you become the expert on women's feelings when you have indicated that you've never really had a long-term relationship. I know a lot more about women's feeling considering that I am one. Believe it on not, sometimes we do mean what we say.

Sorry, but that's exactly why she has you wrapped around her finger I'm not gonna say I disagree...but I'm not sure I understand why. And I gave a bit of thought to my being wrapped around her finger...and...heh, I really am. Everything always depends on how she feels or what she wants. But you know what; I don't care. I also don't see it as being wrapped around her finger. That has too many negative connotations. And it's more complicated than I've explained so far; it's just that I'm not sure to explain everything any better...not in any reasonably short post at least.

I don't know if she's trying to get us to compete with each other over her. In fact, I'm pretty sure she's not. She tells me that she doesn't like either of us "that way". She cares about me quite a bit. I'm pretty sure she likes him...despite what she says. And I'm almost positive that she's annoyed with me. So it's not so much a question of us competing, as it is of her deciding which would be better to spend time with (and this naturally depends on her mood).

...I know she cares about me, as more than a friend, but less than a boyfriend...but I think I've been pushing for too much of her time lately; the past couple days I've seen her, she seemed irritated. That time of the month? Maybe...but it could be that I'm getting on her nerves (as EVERYONE does with her on a somewhat regular basis... :p I'm actually surprised it's taken her this long to finally get annoyed with me...since she can only stand her best friend for a couple weeks at a time)...that may also not be the case. I'm really not sure.

And I asked her if she wanted to hang out tomorrow; and she agreed...but she also said that she might have to do something with another of her friends. So in the same spirit as the whole thing with the other guy; I take her warning as a sign that she's gonna be busy tomorrow when I come knocking.

My gut isn't really saying anything about tomorrow night though...but it's certain that she's gonna pick the other guy on sunday/monday. Oh well...he's moving to england in a few weeks anyway. I just hope he doesn't tell her that he'll stay if she asks him to...I think that if she goes with him on monday, he might just say that to her...maybe. I seriously hope my gut's wrong this time though...

@Faerus:

I'm not gonna say I disagree...but I'm not sure I understand why. And I gave a bit of thought to my being wrapped around her finger...and...heh, I really am. Everything always depends on how she feels or what she wants.Yeah. The idea is you come up with her ideas, sort of ;) Basically, maybe it's your initiative, ie you have to do it, but it's not you who decide what to do and on what terms. That sort of initiative gives you little edge and little advantage in controlling the events.

As for competing, perhaps she doesn't want that consciously, although that's where it's all going, at least to my eye. I don't like that. I've always been too arrogant to compete for attention. And I've always believed matters of feelings not to be matters of simple selection. Feelings will battle and one feelings will prevail over another, but when maths starts feelings stop. For emotions and drives calculations and selections work and work fine, but not for feelings. Or maybe I'm weird. Likely both.

@Dragonfly:

There's a difference between "taken with a pinch of salt", not "discarded altogether". I've seen people returning to other people after "no longer liking him that way" all too often to take every such declaration as granted. At least four times I've been that supposedly no longer liked this way guy myself ;) And all too often I've seen people make quite definite declarations while in fact being visibly puzzled or even torn inside. I've also seen people backing on those the following day... and backing on backing on those after another period of time. There is a chance that she's done with that other guy and that there will be no complications, but that chance is slim. Notice that she's already shown she has some trouble with her attitude to both Faerus and that other guy.

Perhaps I'm cynical, but when people say such things, I take that as a declaration of intent, perhaps a sincere and honest one, but not as something granted.

Rotku - clean out your old PMs, because I can't reply to the PMs you sent me.

Oh, and random babble! :)

It has been raining strong here for two days. Yesterday when I walked to the mall I saw drivers detouring around a curve because the water was about three feet deep there. That is a lot of rain for the dry prairies. Everything should be tropical green with a few days of sun to follow.

I just mowed the lawn in 1 hour and 45 minutes. Whew. Not a small task considering I used a little red mower, it had just rained, and my lawn is like 2 acres. But hey, I complain.

Holy sweet moses mother mary of god!

Just got my phonebill in the mail. It was a thick enveloppe, so I thought 'egh, commercial'. How terribly, horribly wrong I was. :eek: The damn bill was TWENTY FIVE pages long. TEN times as high as usual! I was expecting a higher bill this month, but not THAT big. :sosad:

I only work parttime, and this is enough to suck up a month's salary. :bang: I'm thinking of asking my boss for an advance, else I might not be able to pay my insurance fees next month. And I really don't want to do that, it's a pride thing. :aww: I'll definetley look into my student loan settlement, hopefully I can score a few bucks there.

Naturally, a woman's the cause of this. Or rather, my weakness for that woman is :rolleyes:

Of course. Its always the women.

that better be a joke :nono:

I hate school. They keep chaning the deadlines for the work - bringing them forward. We try telling the teachers we've got a lot of work to do already, so they make the deadlines shorter so we do thiers first. They are just so stupid Why can't they give us until the end of term to do things?

People and phonebills phonrbills and people, It's a love affair in a twisted and sick way!

I did see Autumn Yesterday! They Rocked and Nienke looks so nice IRL I hope my photo's have turned out well!

Also met new friendl people to bad they live kind of far away :S

Woot! Finally got be some freaking new music! Alas that they only had one Nightwish CD :(

I smell funny...

...I know; I can smell you from here. :p

We go back from vacation on Friday, and I'm FINALLY caught up with the laundry. Hoo-yah!

I guess it's an american holiday...hope nobody blows their face off by not using fireworks properly.

Rally, enjoy your status of caught up with laundry now 'cause when the new baby comes along I imagine your laundry-free status won't happen again for many many years. :D

@ Jaguar
so thats what that smell was....

@ Dragonfly
anyone stupid enough to "blow their face off" shouldn't be touching fireworks in the first place, lol

Has anyone encountered the 9-element border CSS layout Problem? I've just figured out how to do that and even Nestscape doesn't screw the styles up! Oh bliss... No more tablework. Now I can redesign the sites I run and even make skins for them.

Woohoo, Nightwish are coming to London again!!

What good is that to you if you are in Belgrade? You would come all the way to London to see them?

*sigh* The troll currently in the chatroom isn't very good at it. Far too quiet.

Life sucks.

I realized last week that me, my mom, mom's boyfriend and the boyfriend's nephew all go to the same therapist.... man, that has to be one darn confused woman.

I think I am cursed: I broke CD2 on my copy of PST! First, it was the BG2 disc 2. THen it was my copy of ToB. THen it was the REPLACEMENT for the original BG2 disc. SAnd now, the PST Disc2.... it's a curse! I tell you, it's a cursse!

I managed to capture a live mouse a few days back... it committed suicide. Looong story. Oh well, there's still another mouse somewhere in my room... I've seent he little thing running around.

Thge house is also sieged by either very intelligent or undead ants. THe horror!

Also, i almost swallowed a mosquito.

*wheeew*

That random enough?

Went to bed after 4 am. In fact, I simply dropped on the bed in my clothes, grabbed some blanked and fell asleep by 5 am. Slept until 9 or so, and then tried to sleep till noon. Didn't work. One coffee didn't help. Got owned in chess on yahoo. Twice :(

Well, holidays are nearly over, so I figured I should make an appearance. Hello all over again, it's been a while. School takes too much time, if only it would end.
2 more terms....

To all Australian students living in Queensland, don't believe your teacher's propaganda about the QCS. This, I say for 3 reaons:
a) Its easy. Don't stress
b) If you stuff up the QCS, you have not stuffed up your life.
c) QCS counts only for first preferences. Nothing else.
School is easy, but getting harder. Although, I am noticing my complete radness in the subject of English. The school threw a hard unit at us. Poetry. <Insert maniacal laughter here>. I walzted into that exam with no notes, only a copy of the two poems I was going to write on, un-annotated. I wrote 6 pages straight, in less than an hour and a half. I am so cool.

Taste the radness.

Werchter was sooooo great. I'll never forget Muse's show and 2many dj's was just awesome as well.

@Baezlebub

So when does school let out on the bottom half of the world? Up here it is April for Post Secondary Education and the second half of June for all Elementary and Secondary schools.

(I've been out of classes for 2 and a half months already.)


-EDIT-
A new page? :eek: ME? :confused: Why I'm flattered... :o

2 and a half months? Bah, you kids spent more time on holiday than actually at school!

Its just because I'm in college now. I only have a total of 6 monts of school now, so your close. :D

Yes, but your kind of school costs a lot more than grade-school Jaguar, you might be having to spend some of that "free time" making some money to pay for your books in the fall, not to mention the tuition.

At least when all is said and done you should have a nice career to show for it.

I've discovered that when scared, cats can be very strong. This can be a problem when they're using their strangth to dig claws into your back.
I wish the fireworks would stop now, I've had enough.

I am bored.

Maybe I should go on ALFA.

Hmmm, that's a great idea...

Schools here finish at the end of the year. November is the industry standard for all schools, all grades. The senior year graduates about 2 weeks before everyone else, so near the beginning of November for them. Then, Uni starts in March.

Here we have a system called HECS. Basically, you don't pay for university upfront, you get a nice bill, which you pay off gradually when you get your job. Plus interest. You can pay it off whenever you want, really, but most people prefer to nurse it for a couple of years.

I must do a Intervieuw here at school. I don't know what to ask. It's a sort of roleplaying but I think they won't allow me to stab them with my vorpal blade! It's about books and facilitycards boring, if you ask me...

Autumn comes with a new cd early next year! They played a few new songs live and it sounde real cool!

@Arab, hoe do you break a cd? I did once had a copy of a bad napalm album and it took me almost 10 minutes to break it willingly...

Well 10 minutes till doom...

This has certainly been an interesting couple of days...

It's kinda funny...she chose neither of the choices presented to her; but she still spent time with each of us. She went to see a movie with him and then when she came back, she spent most of the night with me... :p I certainly paid a high price though; I had to sit there while the other guy hugged and kissed her good night...and she returned it all...*sigh* I'm so confused (though she didn't kiss him like she kisses me).

She tells me that while she used to like that other guy, in *that* way, she no longer does. She went to a movie with him and since then she says she doesn't like him like that anymore...of course, she's gone on 2 dates (one of which she claims wasn't a date...but I suspect differently) with him since then. So I'm a little sketchy on that...and I seriously doubt that whatever he did during the movie could have eliminated the attraction she felt for him...

On the flip side...she spends much more time with me; I've lost count of the nights and evenings we've spent in each others' arms. Cuddling and talking mind you; you perverts out there can forget what you're thinking :p . She tells me that she's starting to like me *that* way...starting to. I know she didn't before (she made that pretty clear)...but she now she says she's beginning to feel differently; to feel stronger feelings for me.

She knows that she's stuck between two guys; and she doesn't want to choose. She gets the impression that we're both jealous of each other; on account of us asking questions about the time she spends with the other...I certainly don't envy her position...and I wish I wasn't doing this to her. Maybe I am jealous of him...because I feel that she enjoys the time she spends with him more than she does the time with me. I'm really beginning to hate my gut feelings :p .

I get the impression that she prefers spending quiet, mellow, private time with me. But for fun times she prefers the other guy. She says I make her feel safe, protected, comfortable. But I don't know what he makes her feel. Does he make her happy where I can't? *sigh*

Oh well...she said she'd come to get me tonight when she's done working (so sometime between 9-9:30pm). I just hope she follows through with what she said; and comes to get me...rather than me going to her.

I can die and go to hell now because I've already seen heaven; and I know that once you're gone I'll never see it again. EDIT: Heh...I just had one of weirdest conversations I've ever had... :p with one of my friends from uni. :p She had a few pointers to give me that might come into play tonight when I see *her* again...(I hope I get to see her!)

She's got you both wrapped around her little finger!

When all else fails, stop trying all else.

As for women, I've sworn myself off them as far as relationships loner then a month or so now. All the ones I seem to met are demon-spawn wenches

Maybe you guys are hanging out in the wrong places.

Keep looking, not all women are daemon spawned wenches. Some are wonderful and loving wenches who make good heat sources on cold nights :)

Sometimes I think that chubby little chereb Cupid needs glasses. :p

Electric blankets are also good heat sources on cold nights plus they have OFF switches. :evil:

But what do you do with a good heat source on those nights when you have the fan on full blast and you don't even want a sheet because it's so hot?

Such bitterness and cynicism! Who'd have thought that everyone would be so down on love?

Someone say something happy.

:sosad:

@ Dragonfly: if you don't need a sheet you can admire their beauty more, and since this isn't an adult only place I'll leave the rest for you figure out :angel:

Hell yeah!

That blanket storie is fuel for my imagenation!

I know a few girls that arn't demon spawn, maybe I must get them on the board :)

SOMETHING HAPPY!

@Faerus: Leave the girl be. She clearly has issues.

On the flip side...she spends much more time with me; I've lost count of the nights and evenings we've spent in each others' arms. Cuddling and talking mind you; you perverts out there can forget what you're thinkingLook: I'm not saying people need to be a couple to cuddle, but they typically are. One walks arm-in-arm or hand-in-hand with friends or otherwise intertwined, one hugs them when needed, one kisses them good morning and good night and not necessarily on the cheek, but one simply doesn't sit down with them on the sofa to cuddle. That's hardly a gesture of casual friendship ;)

she's gone on 2 dates (one of which she claims wasn't a date...but I suspect differently) with him since thenDoesn't take a girlfriend/boyfriend to date. Doesn't take love or anything. One happens to date friends. Or strangers. Whatever. Don't get depressed over that.

She knows that she's stuck between two guys; and she doesn't want to choose. She gets the impression that we're both jealous of each other;How typical. And perhaps you both are to blame? :D Damn, she really has you both wrapped around her finger. I don't know if she knows that, but people generally have one boyfriend or girlfriend ;)

I get the impression that she prefers spending quiet, mellow, private time with me. But for fun times she prefers the other guy.Watch yourself or you'll end up raising his children :shake: Look (http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=000876).

@Vermillion: I have heating in my house ;) Plus, I'm fairly resistant to cold... I've hugged people to make them warm, but have never needed that myself. However, I can't really iron a shirt right :lol:

Teddy rules! To bad he's not on tv anymore, I always loved that show see him flying in his air ship looking for the cristal shards whil that evil guy was haunting for them to.

They must make a Teddy movie!

Super-Ted rules.

Hmmmm. I just gave blood. Why? Because I am A Positive kinda guy. :hahaerr:

@ chevalier, yep, heating pretty resistant to cold, and hug others to keep them warm sounds like me too. The heat source thing is a good excuse though ;) . And besides, my G/f gets me to iron stuff because she can't, typical eh? still she can sew, I can't without pain from pricking myself even with a thimble. :p little things eh? They make a relationship work :) .

I hate summer courses. Especially when taught by an ADHD professor who talks too fast. Erg.

I can say something happy about love...


I have been together with my girlfriend for 1 and a half years and we're stil rockin'. That must ethier mean that love exist or that I'm insane, and I aren't, right?

:mommy:

Damn damn damn, I hate it when programs crash and you haven't saved!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

I really wish our router would quit acting up. It keeps making us disconnected from the net and I have to unplug and fiddle with stuff to make it work again. Life just isn't right when you don't have the internet!

@Caleb: The Chosen, I was with this last ex for four years and four months and it still went to hell in a handbasket. Maybe it's just me though, maybe I bring out the demon-spawned side of them.

The funny thing is, I only really miss females for the companionship they can provide, I can cook up a storm, I do all the housework, everything like that is easy stuff, it's just nice to have someone to snuggle with at night. But this last one I don't miss at all (couldn't miss her even with a moped!) I only miss my son that she's taken away.

Could you people take your female adoring selves to another thread? You're de-railing the topic of Random Babbling.

Babble babble. :p

Hey people, I'll be gone for 12 days (approximately) since I'm off to conquer Spain ;)

I am the biggest loser this side of...well, everywhere.

She's chosen me. She says that in recent days/weeks, she's developed/discovered strong feelings for me; while she can't view the other guy as being more than a very good friend. But it may be some time before we actually get together, because her decision is gonna/is hurting the other guy; so it's hurting her. And by extension; it's hurting me. Hell, it's tearing me apart!! The only thing I can think of now is how I wish it was either him that made her happier...or that if I took myself out right now, she could still get with him and be happier. I've come to genuinely believe that he's better for her...and I didn't say this last bit to her until after she told me that he was taking himself out of the race, so I probably seem insincere. Though, God knows, the only thing I can think about is how much pain I'm causing her...and how I want to stop. I want her to heal...hell I don't want her to hurt in the first place! It's all my fault.

The other guy told her today at work (the two of them work together) that he was stepping aside; taking himself out of the picture, if you will, so that she could choose me without any regrets. Unfortunately, he proceeded to avoid her for the rest of the day after he said that. And now, she's afraid that their friendship (which was special...they're very close friends) is going to come to an end. And I can't help but feel guilty.

I mean if I weren't here, or if I were to suddenly be cut out from the picture (permanently), the two of them could be happy together. They really could. But my presence has successfully managed to **** things up between them. Is that what I want to be? The guy who broke up her friendship with one of her closest friends? I know...if they're such good friends, how can something pathetic like me actually get in the way? And the answer is: I just don't know. I wish I did. I wish I knew the solution. I wish I could steal away her pain...but I can't. I just can't. I don't have what it takes to make her happy right now. I can't do what I know he can do...but she won't listen to me. I tried telling her that he's got more to offer her...but she tells me that the two of them couldn't be happy together.

And then, she brought up that she'd probably get jealous when I went off to school because she knows that most of my friends (including all 6 of my housemates) are girls... :p though nothing ever has or will happen with them.

How can you tell someone you love them; without using those words? I want her to know that I love her...but I can't say the words to her; 'cause I'm afraid she won't believe me.

Oh man...she might call on me again tonight; after she's spoken to the other guy again...(insert suspenseful music here).

EDIT: Fixed the typos. And removed an irrelevant chunk.

@ Faragon

Good luck with that. And watch out for conquistadors. I hear their vicious. :D

@Faerus

/me hands him a tissue

You'll need it eventually me thinks.

Yo yo keep on rockin'all.

Love isn't the end of the world, just a delay in your path thats called live! And a nice delay sometimes!

Summer makes me happy I don't like sunshine but adore to walk in less clothes! I also listen to other cd's in summer, even punk :|!

Faerus, you've got the girl now. She's chosen you, you shouldn't feel bad for the other guy, you shouldn't feel bad for her. It's their issue, not yours.

Just enjoy being in love and having that love returned to you. Cut the crap about you not being good enough for her. It makes it seem as if you don't want to be with her, after all those months/weeks? of dreaming of her. You don't want to make her regret her decision, she's chosen you, don't make her doubt.


As for me, I'm enjoying being single right now, but I'm also kinda in love. Still think love rocks though (positive :) ), which is why it's worth waiting for the right one to come along, I'll just let it happen.

Is the chat room down? I can't connect :(

/starts singing "All you need is love"

Even though I am currently single, I believe that love and being in love with someone, even if he or she is not "the one" for you, is one of the greatest gifts the human race has.

Yea for Faerus :love:

Put one in the win column for all the shy, insecure, nice guys in the world.!!!

****ing stupid forms, why are the boxes always so ****ing small?

Im watching the gun's n roses behind the music

There's this girl that I hate, no I found out she comes shopping in MY store. Life is Grim indeed...

I hate it when people don't come to work so you must do all there work. And if they are there more then 3 hours late they don't even say Thank you! :(

Not so happy right now but tomorow I think things will chance wen I pick up my tickets to Spain!

Hooray! Wimbledon is over at last! Now we can get back to decent daytime TV :grin: :roll:

Can you hear that?

No problems with the chatroom apart from occasional splits, as far as I can see...

Hold off on the champagne and cheers. She's said that she wants to be with me. But that doesn't mean she'll follow through with her wish...and I don't even know if that's still her wish.

Last night I said some things that I really shouldn't've said, and which clearly made the other guy look better to her. I also said a lot of things that she liked, and which hopefully comforted her. But I don't know which things she'll think about today...if she thinks about them at all.

See, she's supposed to talk to the other guy today. She wanted to call him before he went to work (though I insisted to her that she'd be better off talking to him face-to-face) today; to talk to him about all of this. But I'm afraid he may do what he did yesterday; and avoid her. He'd better not be avoiding her. She's hurt that he might be ending their friendship; because of me. How can she forgive me if she loses one of her best friends because of me? Sure, it's not really my fault...but it's still because of me.

Plus she's afraid of going out with me, among other things, because she knows that I'm going away to school again in September; and she knows that us being apart will hurt her. Though on the 15th of this month; she's going to another province on vacation, for 10 days. Naturally, this 10 day separation scares the hell out of me. But I can't help but wonder if this might do her good...maybe the time away from me will make her realize how much or how little she really likes me. Unfortunately for her though, the other guy's moving to England not too long after she gets back from her vacation. And, believe me or not, I'm sad for her. He's one of her best friends, and they might not have time to heal the wound between them before he moves...though I suspect that they will.

She didn't really say that she'd come see me tonight; though she did imply it...and I hope she does. I need to see her. I had one of the worst days of my life today; owing to the fact that I know she's in pain. I wanna try and take that pain away...I wish I could. I wish she'd let me try.

So to sum up; I love her, she likes me. But she doesn't know if she wants to have (me as) a boyfriend. She's afraid of getting hurt, but she doesn't understand that when she's in pain; I'm in pain. If she hurts, I hurt...and I hurt bad.

@Uytuun: You're right. I don't want to give her the erroneous impression that I don't want to be with her...and God knows I definitely don't want to make her regret choosing me.
And I wish you luck in your own situation...

@Faerus:

Repeat after me: It's not my fault. It's not my fault. I'm not guilty of anything. Better?

You're responsible for the consequences of your actions, but both the girl and the other guy are no less responsible for choices they make.

Stop telling yourself that other guy would be better for her. If you really believe that, you should give up on her and bring the two together. Guess it's not what you would like to do, is it?

Uytuun says wise words: enjoy it while you have it and don't think too much about thinks that aren't really relevant. I can only add: don't expect too much. There's a close link between the other guy placing himself out of the picture and the girl pairing with you. It's very possible that she would have chosen him if she had been given choice in the matter.

Actually, that guy has done a wise thing. If she isn't really into him, it will all die down peacefully in short time. He couldn't really keep a girl that isn't really interested. And if he could, it would only be worse for him. If she, however, is into him more seriously than a simple crush, then she will eventually come to him. Time will show.

Ironically, perhaps the guy has had similar experiences to yours with that girl. That wouldn't be so unlikely. Perhaps he didn't want to destroy a friendship and something that seemed to him to have potential for a working relationship, contrary to the largely indefinite and uncertain crush they were having.

He has done wisely. If you have, I don't know and can't tell. But there's exactly one thing you can do now, so any further divagations would be more or less pointless.

Congrats and good luck on your new way ;)

Edit: I've just read the update. Seems the course of events only proved what I said. Get yourself nice holidays and check things when you're back. Ten days is a lot of time, sometimes.

As for the guy, you worry not, he knows what he's doing. Wonder if it'll work for him.

As for the girl, I tend to think she will be hurt either way in all current dilemmas. I'm also still prone to conclude that she has issues and that you'd better skip her.

Sounds pretty complicated. Take a nap. Things always look simpler after a nap . . . .

:sleep:

:p silly chev; *she's* the one going on holidays...I get to stay behind and work.

I shoulda made it clear that she had made the decision to go with me *before* he took himself out of the running...she was actually going to tell him that she was going with me, but he got his say in before she did.

The reason, as far as both she and I can tell, that he took himself out of the running is this:
The other day he had called her and asked her if she wanted to go out and see a movie or something. She turned him down, but she told him that it was because she didn't feel like seeing anyone at all, and that she was tired and going to bed early. Unfortunately (for him) the real reason for her not going with him was because she was hanging out with me. He saw this because he goes running every night, and that night he decided to run in front of our houses; and saw that she was outside with me, my brother and one of his friends, playing catch. Seeing that she and I were spending time together after she said she didn't want to see anyone must have clued him in that she liked me (more than him?).

I can't drop her. I can't let her go. When I'm with her...when I think about her (the last 24 hours notwithstanding), I'm happy. She makes me feel something that I've never felt before; and I love it! I love everything about her; I love *her*. The issues she may have are a consequence of her being squished between two guys that like her.

Wow, chocolate is poisonous to dogs but not humans (http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20000607.html) . I didn't know that. You learn something new every day.....

wtf is the thing with the "Bratz" dolls? Some woman put $250 worth on lay-by yesterday!!

@Faerus: The issues reach quite deeper and they're the cause of things happening the way they have been, rather than a result.

If I were in your shoes, I would most probably have dumped her for lying. She doesn't seem to have much problem letting her imagination lose, which is not necessarily a good thing, as it were.

In fact, once upon a time I broke up shortly after a girl said she wouldn't fulfil some promise of most secondary concern. Never regretted that.

Sounds pretty complicated. Take a nap. Things always look simpler after a nap . . . .
Wow, hey! That is exactly my philosophy on problem solving too. I think it has something to do with clearing out all the garbage floating around in ones brain that keeps one from thinking strait.

Wahey Dragonfly, we should set ourselves as self-help gurus. We could write books and run seminars on "Nap your way to Success!" and "Nap yourself Slim!". We'll be rich! Better sleep on it first..... :sleep:

@chev- Lying? When has she ever lied to me?
And I really don't have the slightest clue what these issues are that you keep bringing up. The cause of things happening as they have been is that either me or this other guy have chosen a bad time to reveal our feelings for her.
Please stop telling me to drop her. It's not going to happen; I love her, I'm *in love* with her! IF she has issues, then we can deal with them together...just like she's trying to help me deal with mine.

Anyways...she chose not to speak to me tonight. I'm really not surprised; last night when we parted, my gut screamed at me that she wasn't going to come get me today. I hate being right sometimes. Tomorrow it is then. This time, *I'll* be going to see her, again. I just hope she'll be ready to talk to me again...

I hope things go well....and I hope things went well between her and the other guy today (if they talked...that damned gut of mine tells me that they did...but I couldn't even begin to guess how it went; I'm getting conflicting responses from my gut).

Actually, now there seems to be a problem with GameSurge... I can't connect to either the website or any of the servers...

Neither can I Tal. Some people seem to be able to, but I dont know what server they are going through.

I've been on gamesurge for a couple of hours now, no problems, though Deathmage mentioned he'd been trying to get on for ages without any success until recently. If it's any help, I'm connected to Netfire.TX.US.GameSurge.Net.

I'm so happy! This is the best day I have had on the computer in...well ever!

Yeah I got the Tickets Next week I will be in Spain :p .

Well sleeping doesn't help for me when I wake up my head is full of things from dreams people I saw places I've been it's creepy I wake up and 4 hours later I'm tired again...

So napping is not the right therapy for me!

I couldn't connect again this morning but can now. Damn annoying.

SleepleSS: you must indeed be sleepless... :p

I feel a little bit a peace today. The creature called stress that has been gnawing at my toes for the last few months has been kicked away temporarily. I finally filled out some papers with some numbers on them. The papers weren't all that difficult to fill out, I just tend to avoid filling forms. I think it may be some kind of phobia. All I have to do is get another signature on them and I WILL go mail them today. No more avoidance syndrome for me. That is until the next time.

Just over one hour until my 2 weeks vacation starts. (Well, except that I have to come in on Saturday for a couple of hours.)

Of course, that means no SP after tomorrow (which is bad or good, depending on whether it's from my perspective or everyone else's :D )

@Volsung Yea Most of the night I am and when I sleep the dreams come and make me tyred.

I had a reception today I had a few beers so maybe I will sleep well tonight :p

Allright this would be the last time I post this on the board.. I think:(Sing With Me)

Hmm - only 15 more posts till the new thread - gotta stay alert now. :coffee:
:borg:

@Fearus:

Doesn't matter if she lied to you or someone else. At least so long as we aren't playing the who's-to-blame-more game. She has lied to one very close friend, she can lie to another. I honestly doubt she said that in order not to make him suffer. I guess it was an easy cheap solution. It's not like I'm throwing rocks and playing judge, but you should really think twice about starting a relationship with her. It's not true that once lied always a liar and circumstances are crucial, but you still should think and think hard. For your own good. You'll do what you want, anyway. But it's less painful to learn from someone else's mistakes than your own.

The issues she has come down to self esteem and identification, I guess. Yeah, circumstances do matter, but circumstances don't make everything. I suggest caution.

However, the best advice I can give you is to go live your life and stop listening to my rambling ;) You're young and you need to get through it. Your later life will be better thanks to this.

I really should learn that no matter how late I stay up, I'm not able to sleep in past 9:30 or 10 in the morning.

It's really starting to get to me.

...And no matter how little sleep I get; I can stay awake forever as long as I'm with her.

Saw her tonight...she talked to the other guy yesterday, and started the healing process there; they'll stay close friends (hopefully), but she doesn't want to be anything more with him. With *me* on the other hand... :grin:

We're more than "just friends". That much is clear to everyone (especially her)...but she isn't sure if she really wants us to go out (yet?). So I told her she could take as long as she wants to make up her mind; and I'll be there for her regardless of what she decides.

:D I'm smiling again, for the first time in almost 3 days...

I just hope there aren't any more turnarounds! :p

But unless/until there *is* a turnaround; I'm gonna be happy (knowing that she wants to be with me...and that we can be together almost anytime :D )

@chev - I still don't know what you're talking about when you say she lied (to me or him...or whatever). Sure, she led each of us on a little, but she knew and seriously regretted that; and she's done all she can to rectify that unfortunate occurrence. But that's not the same as lying...she never overtly said/did anything that I can interpret as a lie.
Of all the women I know (and considering that almost all of my friends, and *all* of my closest friends, are women, I know quite a few) she's very possibly the most honest. Her honesty could almost match mine; and that's yet another reason I feel this way about her...
Self-esteem issues? Possibly...she *is* a little insecure, mostly with her physical appearance and such. But she told me tonight that whatever insecurities she might have disappear completely when she's with me. I make her happy with who she is (or something to that effect...so she says...).

Well - my money supplies are greatly depleted. On the other hand, I now have Deus Ex, new earphones, Mona Lisa Overdrive, Oceanborn, and went to see Shrek 2 :D

I must go to work :p We had a little party at work yesterday wondering if there are people with hangovers :p .

Better go check!

Grrr - why must I have the last post in 'What song is stuck in your head' thread?

A well - I have Nymphomaniac Fantasia in my head - now doesn't that sound like a pornographic song? :grin:

Faerus: Look, I really think she has you wrapped around her little finger so much that you have begun to idolise her:

she never overtly said/did anything that I can interpret as a lieAnd, before:

She turned him down, but she told him that it was because she didn't feel like seeing anyone at all, and that she was tired and going to bed early. Unfortunately (for him) the real reason for her not going with him was because she was hanging out with me.Feelings are a wonderful thing, but they shouldn't obstruct your view ;)

Must...post...as much...as possible...before...my holidays...start.

Word to the wise: DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT attempt to blend pizza in a blender. Well, its not so much the blending as it is the god forsaken taste.

@Aik: Not as much the title as the lyrics... :grin:

Why does it always seem to thunderstorm on my day off? But, then again I wouldn't be online at SP :D

The problem with having a song stuck in your head is that usually is is just one line that goes over and over and really wreaks the whole song for you.

Reepnorp...it scares me that you actually tried that pizza shake you are talking about. (I'm just making an assumption here.)

Woohoo, the Black Caps just beat the West Indies to win the cricket final. Where was England?

Man, blue skies and sunshine. I love summer so much.
