Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

[GasBandit]

I think the idea is, we would all like our current minds to be transported into kid's bodies today, not have time rewind back to the 90s.

Not that that wouldn't be pretty cool, too, but you get what I'm trying to say. We want to be young and free of responsibility again, retaining our mature minds that know how to enjoy it.

 

[Dei]

Nope. You could not pay me to be a kid again. Nope, nope, nope. I would spend all of my time thinking about how god damn dumb kids are.

Of course, I don't need to have a job and the most stressful thing in my life is fighting with a 9 year old, and making my autistic child do his school work, so I might be biased. [emoji14]

Maybe so. If only I could marry someone who didn't need me to work. That'd be pretty sweet

But I'd still like my 18-year-old-self's body back, too.

 

[Dei]

Wouldn't we all though? One of the more amusing comments I have read was "I wish I weighed as much as the first time I thought I was fat."

 

[WasabiPoptart]

The first time I thought I was fat I was just 5 or 6 years old. I really don't want to be 40 pounds.

 

[Squidleybits]

I'm having a terrible day pain wise and everything wise. So, I should work but I have been killing myself with OT all week. I decided that nothing today is that important that it can't wait until tomorrow.

Chips, dip and Diablo time!

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Welp, I think I royally fucked up. I mentioned talking with that girl at some NaNiWriMo write-ins. We've been chatting a bit on Facebook. Except, I was the only one asking any questions or initiating conversations. She still chatted and responded, but it still felt one sided.

So I'm taking that as a sign she's not mutually interested. I probably came off as too overzealous. :/

I thought things were going well? What changed?

You're one of the good ones. The rare bright spot in a world filled with the stuff you mentioned.

And that's becoming a rare commodity in this world. There's too many bad people in the world. So it needs all the good people like you to can get.

Give her some time. If she doesn't try to talk to you in a few days, you could try again. And if she still seems distant, then just let it go. Don't take it too personally. You may feel you were coming on too strong, but that may not even be the case.

 

[Squidleybits]

I agree . You haven't known her a super long time yet. Keep hanging out and see how it goes.[DOUBLEPOST=1447557239,1447557135][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh my whine.

It's 11:00 on a Sunday and I'm working OT. This sucks. To further add to the suck, while I work, my husband gets the remote.

The good news is that the OT has already bought my modded camera and will cover the next part of my sleeve.

Focus on the good part right??

 

[Dei]

For example, that it's Saturday, not Sunday?

 

[Squidleybits]

That is a super good thing!

I swear all this OT is making me dumb. I am regularly spelling my own name wrong on work emails.

Come on December 1!!

I don't think I would ever put much faith in what you think must be going on. After all, it's what's going on in her head that matters.
Don't panic your puzzler trying to figure out what's going on inside her head. If you want to know, ask. No need to go inventing stuff that ends up embarrassing you later.

Hey look, DoomDragon is being emo about his historied love life again.

As you all know, I still love my ex, she still loves me, but we repel each other and by all accounts are toxic for each other.

Yet, I've been finding my recent endeavors in the dating game empty and hollow, and keep finding my thoughts back at Ex. She's ALWAYS around, all the same friends, etc. I avoid her when possible, but we see each other at least once a week.

Anyway, she recently started dating this dude and one of my friends who is also Ex's roommate offhandedly commented on how whenever he passes her door he can sometimes hear them getting intimate in there, and... That's just kind of stuck in my head. I can't talk at all, as I've had my fair share of playing around, but it's just been bothering me, even though it's literally none of my business, and nothing can really be "done" about that anyway. Probably doesn't help that I was her first.

I dunno man. The story of my love life is, I get crushes on people who aren't interested back, people get crushes on me who I'm not interested in, and then there's the constant attraction/repulsion of me and my ex. I have no doubt she'll break up with this dude before too long and then we'll start talking again and the cycle will repeat.

I'm just whining at you guys because my friends are tired of it. I'm tired of it myself, honestly. I'd just like to pretend I didn't know the things I know.

...fun fact: My mother hated hearing me listen to this song. She never gave me a satisfactory answer as to why, though.

I feel you.

This is my current relationship with my ex who I still crave:

 

[doomdragon6]

I am making myself goddamn miserable today.

 

[Squidleybits]

I are taco bell. I'm old enough to know better. My cat is making a rare appearance before the kids go to bed to support me in my time of need.

 

[Cheesy1]

A funnel cloud touched down in the neighboring town just a few miles from where I live. Tore the roofs off a few houses and downed some trees and power lines. We never get these or tornadoes in this area, so this is very unusual. This winter is suppose to be crazy because of the huge El Nino in the Pacific, I guess this is the beginning of the craziness.

 

[bhamv3]

That's just kind of stuck in my head.

Oh man, I know that feeling so well. I get it even with girls who I wasn't ever officially involved with. Just crushes, or acquaintances, or female friend? Doesn't matter, for some reason my brain will obsess over her sex life with someone else, even if it's the last thing in the world I want to picture in my head.

Internet bro-hug.

Facebook becomes intolerable after events like the last few days.

I sometimes forget what it's like being the left-leaning guy I am surrounded by typically right-leaning people.

My favorite was "I bet Donald Trump's wall doesn't sound like such a bad idea now!"

 

[Bubble181]

My favorite was "I bet Donald Trump's wall doesn't sound like such a bad idea now!"

The amount of otherwise seemingly fairly intelligent people, here, quoting Trump with his "this would've gone down differently if the people were armed!" and agreeing with it is sickening.

If "the people" had been armed, we'd have had a shoot-out instead of a hostage situation. All the bombs would've still gone off. Security checkpoints would be more difficult to organize. very little would've changed, except the Bataclan stuff would probably have yielded more deaths, not less, though it'd have been over faster.

Gun control in the US is one thing, you can't suddenly magic all of the guns away and whatnot. Wanting to introduce more guns to an untrained and unprepared civilian population in response to this is beyond madness.

 

[GasBandit]

It was not a good night.
It has not been a good morning.
This is not a good way to start the week.

 

[Bubble181]

Oh joy. I have to leave for work, but just checked the traffic...Because of Paris, there's an extra European summit. Because of Paris, they've extended the security grid and the closed-for-traffic region. Guess who's now slap-bang in the middle of a completely-closed-off, no-traffic-allowed area? This guy. Great. At least 10 minutes loss trying to explain that I just need to get out to cops at road blocks. Time to get out the uniform in the hopes they'll let me through -_-

That was the part I hated working in DC a block and a half from the white house. Whenever the presidential motorcade came through (which wasn't uncommon), cops would be out keeping the streets clear until he passed--which could be a half an hour or more. It was impossible to explain to them that "hey, my bus stop is right across the street and my bus is right there."

Their position was understandable, so I didn't sweat it too much. But still annoying as fuck.

I just got told that ISIS has killed 10 million people since 2014.

I have an interview tomorrow. This is not the whine. The whine is that I'm having to psych myself up to go to the interview. As much as this place has been hell lately, I still hate to leave. It occurred to me today that I'm actually exhibiting a bit of a battered-person syndrome. I know that this place keeps beating the hell out of me, but I still love the people who work here and I know that if I leave, things will be worse for them. But damnit, I just have to accept that it's not my responsibility to take care of the rest of the employees, it's ownership/senior management's responsibility; and if they're not willing to meet their responsibilities, I would be foolish to try to take it all on my shoulders.

 

[PatrThom]

Sounds like if you get hired at the new place, you might know a few people to recommend.
If you want to psyche yourself up for the interview, just tell yourself that you getting hired may be their best chance at a ticket out of the old place.

[doomdragon6]

Had a long talk with one of my friends. He kind of opened my eyes that I'm too old to be dicking around with random girls, and that the people that I've seriously looked at dating will never give me what I need (mostly due to our age difference).

Also, he basically put it this way with my freakout regarding my ex: If I decide to try to date her again, I pretty much have to marry her, because I can't keep wasting her time like that. And it's true. I know that..

Another friend said that if I do decide that, though, I need to let this current relationship run its course, because I -cannot- interfere -again-.

All true things...

I get so terrified thinking about things like this. I know I love this girl, but I'm terrified of doing the same shit I've done over and over again, I'm terrified that we ARE actually terrible for each other. I'm terrified of not having her in my life if I go the other way.

... i'm terrified of letting things run their course because I know they're... egh... getting intimate.....................

I don't like being so terrified of everything I am and everything around me.

Also, I'm just kind of coursing through life right now.. I don't have any true goals, and I don't know what goals to make to avoid that..

I, um... I don't like any of this right now.
