How was the next day?

[Fenghuang]

The best way is to befriend her, and give her advice that pushes her away from her current boyfriend when the inevitable fights occur and she comes to you to vent.

 

This is effective, and puts you in a position to swoop in when she dumps him like last month's garbage!

[Purgatorio]

I don't like Koalas.

It's the eyes.

 

It's not just the Chlamydia, they're really stupid. But I wasn't tempted to run it over. They are endangered. And it would be wrong.

[Calax]

You know that perfect girl, who's outgoing and worldly and cultured and loves all the same things you do? Who laughs at your jokes and knows all the best thai places in town and goes out of her way to make you feel good about yourself?

 

I just met her. And I met her longtime boyfriend, who is a pretty cool guy.

 

****. ****ing ****. There is no justice.

 

Do your best to sabotage their relationship.

 

Today I woke up early in the morning to get down to the city so I could get brakes put on my car, have them fix a tie rod, and align it when they were finished.

 

Then my dad took me out to this awesome hot dog shop where I had a gigantic chili dog with cheddar cheese and red onions and a massive pile of french fries.

 

Then I got on the freeway to drive to school. One of the lanes started slowing down really fast, so rather than brake hard, I switched lanes into the carpool lane. It was 3:50PM and the section of freeway I usually drive on (the opposite side of the same freeway) the hours for the carpool lane are 4PM - 7PM. I drove for about three hundred feet and then noticed on one of the signs that the hours for this side of the freeway were 3PM-7PM, so I immediately merged right back into the lane I came from. Ten seconds later a CHP officer comes up behind me and tickets me for using the carpool lane illegally.

 

After that I was trying to figure out what all he'd written me up for and I didn't hit my brakes quite quick enough and I rearended the dude in front of me. Actually rearended is an overstatement, because I did hit my brakes, and the impact couldn't have been at more than ten miles an hour, didn't even screw up the just-fixed-up alignment on my car. Also we were both driving old cars with plasticky 80s Japanese car bumpers, so there wasn't even any paint to scratch up. I don't think anything's going to happen, but it all depends on whether or not the guy's a s***head who'll try and screw me over for cash just because he can. Ugh.

I accidently BUMPED a car with the same type of bumper with my pops truck... it broke and took about $600 to fix... that was two years ago.

 

I worked again. Microsoft rep (this was at gamestop) gave us some small rubbery frisbee's that double as coasters, and a belt attachment for card like objects (you know, Id's and the like.)

[Pop]

I'm with Fenguang. We have to help Pop 'liberate' the young lady.

 

...Sand, you're drafted into this endeavour.

I knew it, you all want to see me dead D:

[Fenghuang]

There'd a difference between being dead and dying cold and alone Pop.

The difference here is that I drive a little four banging scraper and at the very least my alignment would've been FUBAR if I'd actually done any damage to him.

Nah, it leaves you too exposed to the "we're just very good friends" scenario.

 

I recommend this:

• enlist said girl to help you find your perfect partner
  
• in doing so, obviously identify all the qualities you are looking for (don't be tempted to make cheap sexist and lookist comments)
  
• coincidentally, it will become obvious that she shares (all!) these qualities
  
• in searching, you must also endeavour to appear totally desirable (to her as well as others), so no awful personal hygiene etc; appearing vulnerable to her (and no-one else) is typically good (if she is after the sensitive type), although it can backfire;
  
• do date her suggestings, and this will help:
  • show her how much others like dating you
    
  • give you some practice to do in the meantime
    

  [*]eventually (not too early) try to engineer some direct comparisons between her soon-to-be-ex and you, in things that you are confident with and better at (like philosobabble, for example )

If that doesn't work, you'll have found someone else in the meantime, anyway.

Do you write romantic comedy screenplays or something?

I just know the "get close and try the friend approach" approach doesn't work. Unless she sees you coming and in that case you could get away with a point-blank request ..!

Can some one answer me this. Why, oh why, does it take a person 30 minutes to figure out what candy bar he or she wants? IT SHOULDN'T TAKE THAT LONG!

 

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Walsingham]

You mean we only just worked out Meta's devious? Hell, bar myslef I very quickly realised that the Obs mod team was just about Ocean's Eleven.

This is why I don't date. You silly humans overcomplicate the entire thing.

 

That, and the fact that women want 3 things I either don't have or would rather not give them. Time, money, attention.

Because you never have the one that we want in plain sight! It's always hidden off in some corner!

I've had similar problems with the answer to the question "what kind of drink would you like"

 

usually they ask for root beer (which we don't have)

I'm usually the guy stuck in line behind this person.

Because we like to piss you off.

Thank the gods you said those three things. For a horrible moment there I thought you were going to say something else.

My left ball, my right ball and my ****?

[Pidesco]

Tomorrow is my birthday and it will probably suck.

 

I have a massive cold, and a test on Thursday for which I have to study. So I'll spend the day alone studying, fighting the cold, and perhaps gaming a little.

[Musopticon?]

Well, spend it with good wishes, Soulie. We have close birthdays, that's for sure.

My friend just found out she is no longer in remission. :sad:
