This.
Also, you'll have brain rot from all the drinking you'll do in uni/life, so you'll have forgotten it anyway...

Corrected that.
I have fond memories of pranks and trolling from high school.

As to dances and other such non sense, do something with friends instead.
That or go to the social thing and own it. Be larger than life and take over the scene.

If you can't do that then don't go.

What he means is that you should eat whatever they've put out and become so fat that there's room for no one else.

If everyone's going to be paired, you'll only feel bad if you go. You're better off hitting a pub or club. Or even stay home and read a book.
Social gatherings are all cool and stuff, but not when you're the odd one out, in the very negative way. Kinda like this picture.

I asked another girl to the social-she can't go either. It's tommorow and I am effectively dateless.

Should I go? Because if I do, I will look like an ass and a loser. (I know I'm not but other people will not see it that way). My brother went alone a few years back, and he said it was shit.

Save your money and your time. If you have friends not going, go do something fun together. If not, do whatever you do to have fun: be it watching movies, reading books, listening to music, etc.

Sounds logical. I just don't want regrets nagging me later on.

I don't regret any of the dances I skipped in high school, including prom my senior year. Skip the dance, go to the parties after and hit on the girls whohada bad time and are pissed at their dates.

This is exactly what all high school kids who do not have a date should do.

Bring your own tent and sleeping stuff, if it's one of those camping outside in the backyard parties. A man who is subtly prepared for hooking up is like catnip to girls.

Has Gothos gone emo on us? Seems to me you've got 2 choices. Go for it, lay it on the line and suck it up if you get the wrong answer. Wait it out and risk never knowing and it dragging on forever.

Either go and have fun, forget about the banality and pointless expectations of high school dating and proms. Or, forget about the banality and pointless expectations of high school dating and proms and do something else (even if it is sitting alone in the dark weeping ). High school is a load of bollocks, nothing since has made me more unhappy for so many years!

Time for another installment of something you've all not missed in the slightest!

Illy's Injury Update: Postscript

Don't worry, everything's still perfectly fine with the distinguished gentlemen. I'll get to why this is related in a moment.

What most of you don't know is that I'm currently working in a direct sales job, and have been for the past 3 1/2 months or so, which is why you haven't seen me at all recently. Because I am busy as fuck. Hell, this happened yesterday and I didn't have the time to post it here until now. Still, it's a fun job and I enjoy doing it, but one of the many things that I get slightly annoyed by is the high turnover rate of people I work with, where they come and go so fast that they've been gone for a month by the time I remember their name.

Not in this case, though. Oh, no.

Yesterday I was in our joint training room doing a training impact on a new product (my group has moved divisions but share the same office with my boss's boss - long story) when I saw a pretty girl standing with some guys in a different training impact next to us. These were fresh guys just learning how to sell the stuff I used to do, so I didn't really pay much attention, except the pretty girl looked kind of familiar. So I kept on with the training.

Ten minutes later, I looked over again and check the whiteboard to see what they were learning. A basic day two training session, lead by a dude called Mark (who's an absolute asshole), and with a bunch of new guys with names I couldn't bother to remember and the pretty girl who

IT WAS HER

IT WAS HER

IT

WAS

HER

THE GIRL WHO INJURED ME WAS WORKING IN MY OFFICE


I almost shat myself in fear. The dick destroyer, the member mangler, the prick pranger, the knob knackerer, the devil herself was in my office. The guy training us on the new stuff, who found out the story when the guy who took me out for my interview and asked why I couldn't walk up stairs while I still had stitches in told him, saw my reaction, saw what I was looking at, saw the name, remembered, and cracked up. Then told about five guys. The bastard.


FORTUNATELY, she didn't seem to recognise me without the hair, beard, or excess stone and a half of weight I'd lost since January, and I didn't think it was fair to remind her while she was still training because I'm not going to ruin anyone's chance at a job. And I am the very soul of forgiveness. Being in a different product helped.

Holy fuck, I never ever expected that to happen.

[worry]

Perhaps she came to finish the job.

[Illuyankas]

THAT IS THE SCIENTIFICALLY EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF A COMFORTING THOUGHT

[HoosierDaddy]

If you start hearing the Jaws theme-song at work, I'd suggest just quitting on the spot.

[masan's saddle]

I'm betting you ask her out again just on the off chance you get a sympathy shag.

Could be an opportunity to introduce her to your newly modified frankenpenis.

[Ain't_It_Just_]

Wow, the replies in this thread are staggering. Thanx gaiz

They'v put a ban on after parties (it ends at like 11:30 anyway) so it's a no-no for me. Maybe I'll regret it, but whatever...besides I'll be going to a party on Satdee so that cushions the blow. A bit.

Time for some Xbox...

I got a bill from UPS today, billing me for an advance on customs for a package from Amazon I got about a month ago. First off, there should have been any taxation on the package to begin with. No tax on books, and the one CD I ordered was only £10 - i.e. about half the amount for customs free purchases. Yet still the customs manages to charge me NOK 24,- for the CD. Then, on top of that, UPS has charged me NOK 150,- for paying the customs charge up front. So instead of just NOK 24,- for a CD that shouldn't be taxed, they're asking me to pay NOK 174,-. Naturally I called them up and told them this was ridiculous, but all the woman at the UPS call service could do was to notify the customs of this and have them call me sometime during the next 24 hours. Oh, I just know this'll turn out to be far too much of a hassle to bother with, and I really should just bite the bullet and pay the NOK 174,- to get the people off my back.

Fuck! I knew it! Turns out that I have to pay taxation on the package, as the total worth of it far exceeded the NOK 200,- limit (toll.no says so in Norwegian). Thing about it is that I've done this a million times before, without having to pay customs, meaning that I have precedence on it. So I can go to court on this mother fucker. I'll be paying out my ears in legal fees, but it'll be fucking worth it. Or not.

Paid. Bastards.

Also, Illy: all the girls like their t00ls cut, don't'cha know. The previous incident was probably only a set up for this meet at the work place. And if she can plan that far ahead, you really should respect how diabolic her intellect is. YOU DO NOT WANT TO TURN THIS WOMAN AWAY!

If what you say is true, then she's already set into motion the sinister machinations created months ago to prevent me from turning her away. And then I'm one of the damned.

[Gothos]

How come she's still alive after what she's done, Illy?

Exactly! And you know what they say: It's better to fuck the devil than being raped by a pitch fork.

20 quid on your left testicle as the next extremity to be maimed by her, probably by a knee to the groin when you show what damage she did.

As an aside: where's the cheerleading emoticon when you need it?

I have absolutely no motivation for work in me. None. At all. Urgh.

Less masturbation, more energy.
Or something.

It's messing with my groove that we're nearly at 5000 messing with my groove posts.
Also, the fact that after tomorrow morning, my vacation starts, and there's still two piles of half a metre each of paperwork on my desk, and no-one to give it to.

[Gothos]

It piles up doesn't it?
