Snow at the start of winter is shocking?

As for AIJ's situation, if he can only talk to her from 1 a.m. onwards, either she's a stripper, and that's when her shift ends, or she lives in a different time zone.

Well not for me, but for those who are responsible for running trams, buses and roads...winter after winter, they are alyways shocked.

Having fun talking to this girl over Facebook...but two annoying things. One, we can only converse from 1am onwards. Two, another friend of mine constantly interrupts our conversations. Dickwad. So yeah, I am feeling dog tired. Gonna give it a miss tonight, methinks.

1. What about meeting her in RL at a more convenient time?
2. Is solved by 1. Or tell him to fuck off.

1. That's what I'm thinking, do it either this weekend or start of the next. She's really nice.
2. Seems a little drastic...besides, she's probably think I'm getting clingy-jealous and quit the convo. Rrrrk.

You're forgetting how young he is. The girl would most likely go to jail if anyone ever found out!

Hey, man it's not like that. Step into this van and I can show you...

Funny you should mention that, we discussed the possibilities of her being a hooker last night. I asked for photos, I did not receive them...round and round we go. Maybe next time. Between you and me, she would do alright. Wink wink.

In any case, I'm seeing her on Friday at a party, so good-o.

Working in this fuckin freezing shithole.
If the plumbers werent such a shower of lazy c**ts the heating would be on by now.
Oh theyre snowed in, cant make it to work? Thats odd consideiring we're twice as far away

[Illuyankas]

A water pipe burst immediately above my bedroom, so I had a mad frantic scrabble to stick buckets under every hole in the ceiling. I'm just incredibly lucky to have moved my computer out by the time the hole above my desk appeared, really. As a result, a lot of my important papers got soaked and now everything in my bedroom stinks. But, I didn't lose £1200ish worth of computer, which was nice.

Damn right.

The Poms bowled us out for 254?! Bah.

Also just saw Australia's final video for our World Cup bid. Never have I actually been embarrassed to be Australian. It didn't have anything to do with soccer! At all!

[pathos]

I may have given myself food poisoning with last night's supper. (i blame the weird hamburger patties i tried for the first time)

Work is not as much fun today as a result

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

The guy who was largely responsible for hiring me got fired today. I feel bad for him. Plus, he really liked me and was very accommodating towards Any schedule requests I had. I don't know how I will be handled by whoever replaces him.

[Adjutant Stormy~]

That sucks RLY, my boss (the woman who hired me sans-qualifications on the recommendation of my friend) just got promoted to Assistant Dean. Lol, the world is a craazy place.

Messing with my groove is the fact that I am going to spend n hours at the DMV tomorrow (where n is a number between 1 and infinity) to renew my license.

[Ain't_It_Just_]

Just got back from a mate's party. You might be wondering why this isn't in the happy thread. Well, it wasn't very good. Let me explain. It was meant to be no alcohol but of course a few of the dead-heads smuggled some in. At first it was just them chugging it, but pretty soon they started getting everyone drunk. Myself and about eight others abstained. Some of the girls-nice people whom I'd met before-were going out of control, making out with randoms and each other. One of them broke down sobbing because her boyfriend had slep with someone else and she was a total wreck. Another girl (the one I was talking about) was doing much the same, and later on she was absolutely embarrassed and in tears at what she'd done. It made me so fucking angry. Not at her, but just because some morons couldn't go a few hours without inebriating themselves and they'd managed to drag her into it. I had to pretty much mind her and make sure she didn't do anything stupid. She wouldn't stop crying, and it took me forever for her to understand that I wasn't judging her or anything like that. If anyone had tried to take advantage of her (and there were a few lining up), I would have decked them. I'm not even kidding. Anyone who does that is a goddamn lowlife.

On the plus side, you just picked up MAJOR brownie points.

Unless she's now too embarrassed to be around you ...

Suggested tactic: keep your current attitude regarding where the blame lies, but if she really presses you about herself just say there's no better teacher than experience.

I'm curious as to why your FIFA (International Federation of Association Football) would be swayed by a soccer video.
surely they would be looking for FOOTBALL

He friend-zoned himself.

I bet you dollars to doughnuts that he never hooks up with this girl.

That is my fear as well, so maybe a suggestive sense of humour carried off with charm will help make her unable to pigeonhole him? Maybe a cool duelling scar he refuses to talk about?

Yeah, but now I feel really uncertain about that. She kept saying "I really like you" and stuff like that, but I'm not sure if that was thw alcohol talking. She likes me already, but I'm not sure..

Ah crap, I didn't even think about that. Hope it doesn't happen. Thanks for the advice anyway.

I wouldn't want to hook up with her unless she was coherent and willing. Maybe not even then. I'm her friend foremost.

Hmm, a cool duelling scar would do wonders... But in all seriousness, I am fine. As long as this doesn't wreck our friendship, I can let it go.

And all of the above, basically contributes to my messed groove. Oh, and it's hot.

The way to get out of being friend-zoned is not short. The best way to get around it is just to keep improving your self-confidence, overall know-how and do interesting things. You'll
care less and less about little stuff like whether it's hot, whether or not you strike out at a party and you'll bounce back from bad beats much faster.

Doing that isn't a quick process. But sometimes "fake it until you make it" works with that stuff. I'm not saying be the aloof asshole that looks down on everyone and everything - I'm saying find stuff you really geek out over and try to find interesting people to hang out with. It'll sort itself out, even on the romantic front.

This may come off in a cynical fashion (so keep in mind that you NOT caring particularly about hooking up will usually lead to the paradox of hooking up):

One thing that teenage girls in particular looooove to do is to keep a dude on a fishing line. They're able to hook a guy on the bits and pieces of attention that they toss their way and kind of practice their skills of attraction on them. The guy dangles around forever and usually, nothing ever happens.

It's okay that you were weirded out at the party and by the scene there. However, don't go into super-protective mode (unless the girl really is in trouble). If it's your mate throwing the party, it doesn't stand to reason that there'd be super-sketchy people there. There's eight others around and presumably they're also minding the situation. You don't have to be the good cop - being your own self as someone chill to hang with is enough.

You can head elsewhere, find something else at the party to do or join in. That kind of scene will repeat itself many, many times in your life and it's up to you to figure out where you are and aren't comfortable - just like other people are doing. I hope you're able to keep sussing out what you're comfortable with and what you're not and listening to that. Alcohol is quite frequently abused and a lot of young people (like the younger me) completely miss the point where "having a good time" stops and "complete mess" begins.

Knowing is half the battle.
