Managed to get out of a full day of Statistics training tomorrow. My boss didn't book enough spaces so I gallantly bowed out so she could go instead. Bullet dodged.

Though now you will be forever stuck in the mental quagmire of not knowing how statistically likely it was that you got this lucky break.

Just got gifted a jar of homemade jalapeño jelly. And it’s fanfuckingtastic.

Pretty incredible!

Back from my b-day party that was scheduled 3 days after my actual birthday. Quite drunk, cuz I was fed many Tequiola shots, so I'm feeling reflective.

A bunch of people couldn't make it or cancelled last minute, so a bunch of ppl I'd have loved to se it weren't there. Still it was a t a pool hall, and I do enjoy playing pool,. so overall it was a decent time (even if I WAS half dead from doing renovations/cleaning for 2 days straight),

I think i'm supposed to feel older or some crap like that. Yet I don't, really. is there something wrong with me? it's not a Peter Pan-esque "refusal to grow up"; more of just "I don't really feel like wanting to taking on any additional responsibilities at the time". And a relationship feels like a responsibility first and foremost.

My dad's miserable about this. Last time we talked he obliquely mentioned that my 2 cousins found their wives via online dating apps, and should I try smth similar; and yet, I don't feel any less self reliant; and if I don't feel I need someone else in my life, it feels inherently selfish to start looking just cuz "society expects me to".
So I suppose my parents would have to deal with some more disappointment.

I feel you, Ment.

I'm 38 ... I think? ... Don't have a girlfriend, don't have kids, no intention of looking for companionship. My family looks at me weird but I'm perfectly happy living a life where I have no commitments or responsibilities besides paying my utility bills and feeding my cat. I don't really consider myself asocial, I just don't really need affection or companionship.

I am an island!

WOOOOOOO! Ukraine 2 -1 Portugal!!!!!!!

I love this attitude ! I have really embraced this myself.. sure a girl would be great , but at this stage she has to be the *right* girl ...this is hard as I’m picky as hell now..I guess I’m looking, but completely happy all by myself and love myself too.. took me a long time to figure this out though.

Following my economic goals too I can retire pretty damn early if I don’t fall into any (addiction) traps that are always life pitfalls for anyone really if your honest with yourself. It can happen to anyone.

One of my better decision in my life is toning down my drinking , it takes a lot at first especially the teasing you get from your buds... then nobody cares.

To replace this I have gotten into 2x day workouts , board gaming days, and black smithing/crafts.

Sidebar: the hardest thing with this lifestyle is my friends wives.. they have the hardest time with some of the above decisions. They can apply the right buttons to question if I should be “trying” harder.

I didn’t post this weekend but landed San Diego Comic Con tickets this weekend , so prebought the fallout boy/Weezer/Green Day concert that should be a huge concert due to landing right next door to the con.

I’m cosplaying this year as Spike Spiegel , an imperial Star Wars pilot and a 1ish Star character from kill la kill.

My funny bone spot is different on the elbow that had all the surgery now. I discovered this by whacking my elbow on my old funny bone spot and noticing there was no jolt. This amuses me greatly. Also it doesn't hurt to fall on my elbow much now! I was scared of this for a while since I broke it in to pieces last year.

Why are you falling on your elbow constantly?

Are you a professional wrestler? Is that you Charlotte Flair?

I should have been while I had the metal plate and screws in... they would have hurt someone if I whacked them with the reinforced elbow!

Had a baby, quit my job. I’ve been at home for the last three weeks with my family and life is good.

That's awesome. Sounds delightful (and probably harrowing from lack of sleep).

I didn't go into work today.


First time in a long long time.

It's feels good

I resolved the friend issue I'd posted about in the other thread the other week. Mostly. I think. Just could't take the anxiety attacks any more.
