LadyCrimson Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I dislike banks, and I dislike the DMV. That's all. ...but it's over (for the moment) and I can go back to being a lazy arse for the rest of the day. With chocolate brownie ice cream. I like ice cream. 1 “Things are as they are.

BruceVC Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I actually sometimes confuse myself with Rostere.. I guess we really all are Cants alts. So the date went bad ... and then great! Long story short, I ****ed up a little, so I won't be dating her again - but 'we' decided to be friends - but by a joyous twist of fate she also decided to be my winglady for the evening (yes!) since "I shouldn't waste such a good evening going home alone".. She actually hooked me up with a smokingly hot girl from Turkey, who was traveling through Europe.. Win! and the girl said she was coming back to Denmark to study in the fall and wanted to hook up again.. WIN! This goes out to the brunette, my hero! (was it you Gorgon?) Talking about dates, I should share my experience with that Chef. So we decided to skip the waffles and move to a good drinking spot, we get on really well and during the drinking of Tequila and Vodka she explained that she just got out of a relationship and wants to be friends, or rather she doesn't want pressure to take the relationship to the next level. I am fine with that as I want to get to know her first anyway as I like her. Anyway during the course of the evening she became very physical with me which surprised me as she was the one who said "lets just stay friends for the moment" I get confused by this type of response, as I take what ladies say literally. So if a lady says " lets be friends", that means to me that I mustn't make a move. So we had a really good time and I will see her again but I won't initiate anything more than being her friend She is also making a documentary around a cooking show that she wants to sell to the various South African TV Networks, and thats really exciting for her and something I want to support her with "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Syraxis Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) My caffeine consumption has been skyrocketing the past month or so ... attempting to scale back. Typically I just have 2 or 3 cans of diet Dew a day and that's about it. Over months however, or during stress, or obsessive game playing, it can go up and up. Sometimes it goes back down again, sometimes ... not. The sad thing is, it's not so much the caffeine (tho that's definitely part of it) but that in general, I really don't like the taste of many drinks. Can't drink most fruit juice very often, don't like tea, don't like milk (as a drink drink, it's more a food), don't like booze, don't like most other soda flavors (diet or sugar). *drinks her water, grumpily* When I was younger I used to drink flavored water as a better alternative to soda (and as a way to transit into drinking mostly water). I still drink soda from time to time but for non-alcoholic beverages I'm drinking water probably 90% of the time.

melkathi Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Don't you drink at all Melk? Not by choice. I'll have a sip if really pressured, but do not like it. Had a sip of commandaria in December because it was a going away thing at the office and saying "Yeah, well I am touched you are all gathered to wish me farewell, but you know, I don't actually drink." Before that I had half a glass of vodka in June because it was the goodbye party of the masters and one of the erasmus students from the previous term drove all the way from another country to celebrate with us. Before that I had two sips of vodka in December 2012 at a birthday party after having been pressured into it. I have not forgiven people One sip of punch or something similar in summer of 2012 at a friend's wedding. 2008 - 2011 four weddings. A sip of champagne at two of them... Eh, you get the picture.
