what books?

Mostly paperback fiction. Some hardcover non fiction.

I went digital and that stuff didn't sell at a garage sale. My dad was bitching about the boxes "cluttering up" the 3 walled shed. A shed which was half empty, he didn't use, but the open side is visible from the road. In other words he made me mad and I did something mildly stupid.

That's why my slogan has always been "burn dads, not books!"

Sooooooo last night tonight was one of my strangest experiences.

Drinking and drinking alot, my bud from texas was here invited a big group of chicks. The night winds down and everyone is out. Me and him our the last guys there, we have been talking amazing game soooo we decide to hang out with fucking 2 hot chicks with them at 12:30...we are out and they are driving and they start doing coke.like a lot of coke. I'm like wow!! you all seemed like such normal 25 year year girls..i make the comment that's fucking old..who does that, my buddy kinda needs to get laid so hes like shut the fuck up.like super glare!!!

So I shut up and just roll with it, but then I say beer is really really **my** perfect drug. whatever. I'm trashed and say alcohol is amazing and legal....I always have to speak my mind.

They fucking own me in the part on the conversation, my buddy is super duper popular guy. Like if theirs that person that is 10/10 with people he is that guy

He sits back for a bit and then is like yea the number one girl, sorry im not into you can you drive us back. they are driving us is a random direction, actually i have no idea where they were going < i feel like a piece of shit now> then things go sideways. She was saying craziness and crying..

The driver flips out. she was a solid 1000 of 10 crazy

She is driving 130ish on the freeway, asking us why nobody loves her, threatening to hang herself!!!!! i want to point out to guys in this conversation, she is really really hot. like really.

Anyhow we got dropped off in the middle of nowhere and walked and found a circle k. my buddy was more pissed cause he had a sure thing. but i pointed out to him herpes last forever...so he agreed. we found a taxis via uber about an hour later and got home.

Crazyiness.

I really don't think i can never ever properly explain tonight, i tried.

I really really need to meet my "wife" ... i still believe in that romantic love exists.. <somedays>

I will try harder.

I got lucky when I stopped looking. Funny thing, a lot of things in my life are like that. But anyway, I don't think trying harder always is a more successful route. But that is anecdotal I know.

I'm mostly quoting because he deleted the contents and thought that would make it go away.


"she is really really hot. like really." Hotness and coke are inversely proportional. The hotter they are the worse they behave when high.

I don't think it's right to trash someone who didn't hook up with a friend by saying "Herpes is forever". She didn't owe him anything and making a woman's unknown-to-you sexual history look like a bad thing to make a friend feel a tiny bit better isn't something I'm ok with.

I've been on benders like that and what helps to make things turn out better is to just remember that people find the wavelengths of behavior that they're comfortable with, that judging people you're encountering for the first time is something best kept inside the mind unless specifically asked for it to be said out loud and that most times, if you're uncomfortable with a situation, just leave quietly.

The last might be just going outside for a while and then coming back for the ride/pick-up or leaving in full. Those quiet departures will lead to more adventures if you've still got the energy to find them.

Yea I probably wouldn't have said it outside that state, it was weird night all in all. I had that whole vibe going on, but whatevs

Yeah i was probably giving him a hard time when I get trashed i do have habit of saying everything on my mind..good at times cause it can be funny, but told it can be annoying for the reason u mentioned.

So I logged into my Goodreads account after a really long time today, had to reset the password and everything. Then when I began to look through my listed books I got a nasty surprise. Books were added in my "Read" shelf which I have never heard of, or have never read.
One of the books was Edgar Rice Burrough's "A princess of Mars" and I can say with absolute certainty, that the last time I touched a Burroughs book was one of his Tarzan paperbacks and that was when I was 15, the book I had found in a local library, it was older than my father and had something green growing on it.
So how did Goodreads add books to my shelf, especially books I have never heard of like something called "Delirium" or whatever, the plot summary of which read like a rehash of the movie Equilibrium?
Out of curiousity has this happened to anybody here?

GamerGate is worse now than ever. Past few days they've picked a fight with a co-founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales (who seems like the most patient man in the world: http://imgur.com/8vaaGwe) and that was relatively amusing. Might have gone in the other thread. But they've also posted photographs of the home of one of their primary targets (B. Wu), the death threats haven't ceased for any of their targets, and over the past day or two they've sunk so unbelievably low it's incredible. Not sure I'd even suggest clicking this for most people (as it deals with the most stomach-churning turn it could have possibly taken), but if you're morbidly curious: https://storify.com/...ing-a-way-to-sp

That's just.. Fuck I don't know.

Computers and the internet make it possible to screw up faster than anything since handguns and tequila.

I'm starting to get seriously fed up with both my boss and my coworker behaving like the proverbial cat and dog towards each other. It's like watching adults forget they're not in kindergarten anymore. She develops a habit of being late for work, and not just a few minutes but up to an hour, and without notice, too, so the boss tells her she can't have time off during christmas, to which she responds by dumping half a cup of sugar into his coffee, which he retaliates by spraying some kind of tacky smelling air freshener onto her jacket, so she dumps sugar into his coffee AGAIN, so he saddles her with the early morning shift on christmas day, so she conveniently forgets to tell him which items are out of stock at work, so he makes her go and buy what's needed after work, so she turns off the refrigerator secretly upon leaving... AND THAT'S JUST WHAT HAPPENED TODAY.

I'd be more amused if I hadn't just spent half an hour trying to close the shop (more accurately, trying to turn the damn key in the lock) after getting saddled with the late shift on chrismas, but the key just wouldn't work as usual. I swear, if that bastard switched the usual key my coworker and me are sharing for the one that has a tendency to block the lock just to spite that nasty little piece of cutesy girlishness that is my coworker, I'm going give BOTH of them an earful.. Seriously, people, keep me out of this. We're all having a hard time now, no reason to be at each other's throats *sigh*

Huh, are they shagging on the sly?

Installed a software update last night right before going to bed. It restarted my system apparently. 40 some days uptime gone.

But no, I am pretty confident that's not the heart of the problem. She's just being a nuisance and my boss doesn't know how to deal with that (she got the job because the boss is friends with her uncle so he can't just throw her out, I guess?) and responds in kind. Also, my boss got married today, which was the date she originally had wanted to get married, but having known her fiancé for five months tops they didn't manage to get it organized in time. So maybe the issue is that she wants to shag her fiancé, but they have the whole 'no sex before marriage' thing going on and she's been watching our boss organize his wedding the past couple of weeks... People are wonderful to watch, as long as I don't get caught in the arguments.

On the up side, I threatened to give up the job and leave them to it if they don't stop dragging me into this and got better working hours out of it. The issue being that the shop is open 6am to 10pm and if they had to share the shifts between just two people everyone's groove would get messed with.
