Raithe Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 So I've fallen head over heels in love with a girl, and I think she has fallen head over heels in love with me. This has never happened before. It feels so perfect. I had that happen once. It was great, right up until the point it all went horribly, horribly wrong. And now I am emotionally scarred and my soul will be bleeding for the rest of my life... Saviour the moments you have together, build good memories, and may it actually last and grow.

It feels so perfect. If it feels perfect, well, it's not real. If you do couple up, well enjoy the benefits of it, or something. Why has elegance found so little following?

Guard Dog Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Congrats Krez. Woke to the sound of a loud crash at 3 AM. Coyotes had knocked over the gril.... again. Actually I had not heard or seen hide nor hair of them since the flood. As aggravating as they are, I was sort of glad to see they are ok. There were four of them on my porch.

Hurlshort Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Don't let these negative nellies spoil your fun Krezack. I'm madly in love with my wife and it gets better with each passing year. Enjoy every moment! Driving from Oregon to California was king of eye opening. I'm a big fan of California, I've lived there my whole life. It's a great state. But Oregon was extremely nice. The roads alone were incredibly different. Oregon had these great highways, clearly maintained regularly. We encountered road crews a few times and they were busy. We even had a conversation with a stop sign lady and she was having a blast. Once I hit California it was like I entered a different country. Roads were worn out, the ones being worked on were a mess and spread our for miles. Nobody seemed to be working and the crews were smaller. I'm not planning on moving, I've got job security and family, but I can see the appeal.

Enjoy every moment! The fact that it worked out for you and didn't work out for us doesn't make us negative, it makes you lucky. I mean, I know I'll never be able to let fully go again, because the last time I did, I wound up in a bathtub with a knife. 'cept then I decided that I wanted to be a doctor on my headstone, and eventually found a reason to live, even if it was a small and petty one.

Raithe Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Don't let these negative nellies spoil your fun Krezack. I'm madly in love with my wife and it gets better with each passing year. Enjoy every moment! You mistake me Hurlshot, I'm not being negative there. It's always nice to see a relationship that's really, deeply in love grow strong. As opposed to just a "nice, friends with attraction and feel compatible and with a dose of lust" that so many seem to go with. But part of that is when it can go wrong, it's a fair piece of hell to recover from. Even with the way it can still hurt even now, if I got the freaky, sci-fi chance to go back and stop it from happening I wouldn't. The good times, and the feelings together were bloody good and worth the pain afterwards. It's just.. really, really not fun having it linger on years after and occasionally slice into the consciousness when something causes it to flare up. That and the emotional scarring makes it really hard to move on with new people and let the same thing (potentially) happen again. I'm a cynic. I'm a romantic. I'm a tad jaded. And I'm just a touch soul-burnt over it all. But I'd still rather have people I know enjoy the fruits of honest love if they meet the person that actually kindles it.

Raithe Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Hm, can you really be a cynic and a romantic at the same time ? Certainly. The romantic in me leans into the sweet gestures of life.. The cynic in me contemplates on the manipulations behind them.. Depending on the mood, one can rate higher then the other. Besides, it's almost impossible to be a cynic if you didn't have some streak of romanticism to start with... One that usually ends up crushed before the cynicism really flows..

Walsingham Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 So I've fallen head over heels in love with a girl, and I think she has fallen head over heels in love with me. This has never happened before. It feels so perfect. Don't listen to these goons. You're a man. So if for some reason it doesn't work out you can always man the f*** up and get over the disappointment. *ducks hurled objects* "It wasn't lies.

Raithe Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Had a rough night with little sleep, and then woke up with the joys of a headache stabbing and grinding away... Although at least there's no stress of the dogs this week, they're off with my sister so a certain sense of peace. But then going to have to keep an eye on mom, she's got a brief hospital visit and surgery this week. Some bones removed from her hand, hopefully reduce at least some part of her pain levels and maybe provide a bit more mobility again for her... Although it's going to be in a cast for 6 weeks or so after... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

LadyCrimson Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 I love the Red Sox 10th inning walk-off win against the Yankees last night (great game, great low-scoring contest), but it would definitely be nice if these two teams could manage to finish a game by 3 hours like most others. 4.5 hour games, sheesh.

Raithe Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Stretching my mind out by trying to develop a system model of riots. And just went to get some snackables for lunch, opened up a jar of pickled onions to go with the cheese and biscuits.. and found that the jar had fermented. That is the first time I've ever seen that happen. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Malcador Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Despite not having heard the song in years can't get "Blue Suede Shoes" out of my head.

Nightshape Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Stretching my mind out by trying to develop a system model of riots. Take a system model for Zombies, infact something Dead Rising did well - one lead zombie, and a bunch of followers. Break 'em into small groups.

Also I did absolutely nothing today, as evident. Fortune favors the bald.
