Walsingham Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Man I think you need to put your girl in check. She sounds absolutely insane, in a horrible way. I mean I hope she's worth it because it just sounds like she's kind of a shallow attention seeking young woman, which is a bad thing. ALL young women are attention seeking monomaniacs, dear boy. My friend termed this 'King of the World syndrome'. Ask a 17-21 year old girl any question and the answer you will get, when decoded, is "I'm Lord of the Freaking Universe, baby!" 25+ ftw.

Fenghuang Posted May 2, 2007 Author Posted May 2, 2007 So uh, after wussing out for roughly six month I asked cute bookstore girl on a date. Mind you I went in, was being rang up for the book by her, wussed out again and went out to my car; then returned to the store with my sole intention being to ask her out on a date...and she said yes. So uh, now I'm worried I'll eff it up because unlike the couple few dates I've been on in the last year, I really like this girl, and I am pretty sure I'll screw this up somehow. Anyway, she's supposed to call me later to make more solidified plans as she was still working when I asked her. RIP
Walsingham Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Kudos for asking, mate. Any idea where you're going to go? Is she quirky or traditional? "It wasn't lies.

Enoch Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Yesterday evening, I went to hang up a shirt. I bent my head down to hold the hook of the hanger under my chin while I buttoned the front buttons. As I did this, I got the worst kink in my neck I've ever had. It felt like someone was tagging me with a cattle prod right at the base of my neck, shading towards my left shoulder. A couple of ibuprofen and some fine Irish whiskey made the pain tolerable enough to sleep, but it was not a very restful night. When I woke up at around 6:30, it didn't feel any better than it had when it first happened. I took more pills (hooray for huge Costco bottles of generic ibuprofen!!) and waited for them to kick in. It's now a couple hours later and I've decided to call out sick from work. I felt like a total wuss leaving the message for my boss explaining why I was out, but it shouldn't be a problem. None of my current projects have any impending deadlines and this is only the second sick day I've used since I started there last August.
metadigital Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 I'd go and get a doctor / physiotherapist / geisha to look at your neck, too. It might pass by without any treatment, but it also might only require a little cold / heat / pressure treatment, too. My girlfriend gave herself a buzz cut and I made the mistake of being honest and telling her that I was right when I told her repeatedly not to shave her head because it would look awful. So she bic'ed it and shaved her eyebrows just to spite me and seems to honestly think it looks awesome. And I'm just too stupid to realize that I should just stop telling the truth and just go along with her delusions. Did she do that because of the treatment for her illness? Ive seen people do that before for that reason. Not the eyebrows mind you but eh, she was showing you a thing or two. She had wanted to shave her head for a while, and finally decided to do it. Its really putting a lot of strain on a relationship that was already strained. Every time we talk she brings up her hair, which eventually leads to me mentioning how much I hate it, which pisses her off and I get in trouble. L2carelessabouthair I've been over it for weeks, but she keeps bringing it up. I had to create a list of "banned subjects" with a particularly truculent partner. Basically this is a list of topics that are agreed by both parties to be unimprovable with further conversation, and serve only as mechanisms for escalating a discussion into an argument. Just agree beforehand who was to blame, if that is what is required, then agree that they will not be spoken of again (at all preferably, but at least not during a discussion about other things, and definitely not during an argument). It allows you to say "Wait a minute, we agreed that we wouldn't talk about that anymore. Yes, it was my fault, and No, neither of us can do anything about it now. Let's talk about what we really want to talk about, instead." Good luck. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Enoch Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 I'd go and get a doctor / physiotherapist / geisha to look at your neck, too. It might pass by without any treatment, but it also might only require a little cold / heat / pressure treatment, too. I took a hot shower, which did seem to help a bit. I think I've got a heating pad around here somewhere-- I'll try to dig it up later today. I'd rather not go see someone today, since driving is pretty hazardous when you can't look over either shoulder. If it doesn't improve after a day or two, I'll get my girlfriend to drive me to the doctor. This is some kind of karma for spending most of the workday yesterday wishing that the weekend would get here. Ironic wish fulfillment sucks.
Darth Drabek Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Bummer about your neck, man. My place of employment is expanding, and management bought us all new office chairs. However, most people like their old chairs better. This is a problem, because we weren't allowed to keep our old chairs. See, it looks better for visitors to the office when everybody has the same chair. Uniformity and all that. Now I don't mind the new chair (we're basically trading the comfort of a broken-in chair for better lumbar support), but some of my colleagues absolutely hate it. It will be interesting to see the effect this trivial matter has on "company culture." The company softball team got killed again last night. There wasn't much we could do; the other team was hitting one out of the park almost every inning. Still, it's never fun to get beat 24-6. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs
LadyCrimson Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 I took more pills (hooray for huge Costco bottles of generic ibuprofen!!) and waited for them to kick in. Heh, I have a couple of those in my cabinent, and they get used now ... a lot. :D Hope the neck gets better. Funny how what seems like a little thing at first - that you think will just go away really quick - can be such a pain in the, well, neck. And my day so far - woke up and it's raining. Meh.

theslug Posted May 5, 2007 Posted May 5, 2007 What is your degree in sand? There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
