Isn't it obvious? she's holding a couple of basketballs. ;)

I'm a terrible socialiser. Generally I get the feeling you waste a lot of time learning that people you thought were pretty decent are actually small minded, ignorant bigots (no offence to you guys, of course. :p). So by and large I stopped trying. I have a couple of good IRL friends (and I get on well with my family) but I cope pretty well with being alone most of the time now. I miss some things but... at the end of the day people just get on my nerves.

I know how you feel. I usually just smile and say "hi" to people that are supposidly be friends (but never actually share anything). I dont connect much with others, but I dont have a bad relationship with them... I'm just not as social as they are so nothing grows from it.
Sometimes, when I get invited out into town. I sometimes feel like I'm there as extra company, to make sure everyone else goes. (But I enjoy myself nether-the-less.)
 
*drags is body in like the undead*

My god I'm tired today. Didn't do anything last night different to normal. Slept like a baby too. Quite random.

*huge yaawwn* OX
 
Morning Voddas, anyone else about.

Just thought I'd pop my head in and say I'm not likely to be around again until Friday. A friend is coming to stay for a couple of days and I don't want to be so anti-social as to choose the forum over them. :p

So, see ya later guys. :)
 
haha thats unlucky voddas.....seems you've got the bad end of the stick....

Me on the other hand, i got in lastnight and crashed on my bed, watched friends, then a few other programs, had dinner, went upstairs and spent the rest of the night watching the greatest channel known to man....Dave, all week, all month their playing live at the apollo :p loving all the comedians.

Stayed up till 1.30, playing monster hunter again.....now i'm on G** rank quests which are one away from the hardest quests in the game.... so i'm fighting this Crab (Diaymo Hermitaur) over and over again (farming) so that i can get the mats i need to make better gunner armour (as i accidentally sold my best gunner armour and kept the crap one...D'oh) so anyway i'd just got a new bow and decided that i'll try bowing it to death....with my longsword "true devil slicer" it takes between 10 and 15 mins usually.......with a bow it took 40 BLOODY MINUTES! and at the end when it finally died and i went for the carve....3 baby crabs appeared out of nowhere and chased me round, every time i went to carve the Diaymo the little ones would swipe at me and id stop carving.....in the end....no carves. i was furious. to the point that at 2.10 in the morning i decided that i'm going to do the quest again but with my long sword....and i left the Diaymo alone....and went on a massacre path killing all the baby crabs. at 2.30 i decided enough was enough and i need sleep.

woke up this morning at 7am on the dot, thinking "why the hell am i awake this early?" went back to sleep and woke up at 8.15 thinking "why the hell am i awake this early" :p

Surprisingly enough i'm not too tired atm....a 2 litre bottle of Tizer is keeping me company :)

how's all?
 
Morning Ayase and bye Ayase. Have a good time with your fiend. "Nudge, nudge, wink, wink now what I mean?" :p

Hopefully catch you next week then mate. *rimmer salutes*

EDIT:mad:Tachi: Morning matey! You may have Tizer but I have a bottle of "Blue Charge" to keep me company. I needs it.

I love "Live at the Apollo". Wish Jack Dee hadn't retired from it though. Jack's awesome. XD
 
lol Touché' :p

Yeah he was funny. i like Frankie boyle, Dara O'brein, Michael Macintyre(?) and the guy who plays Dougal in Father Ted, and a few others....its a shame that Bill (the troll) from Nevermind the Buzzcocks isn't on it (from what i can see) and phil jupitus and my favourite comedian; Ricky Gervais :/ their funny.

There's that other bloke from mock the week who's funny too.
"there's an old bloke who lives next door to me, whenever i play music he bangs on the wall. i think "sod you, i'm not turning it up for anybody" so to get back at him i go down to the local shop and buy 30 bottles of milk and leave it on his doorstep, its not long before social services and the police are breaking down his door.....whilst he's stood in the kitchen chasing a sausage round the frying pan.....then the best bit....he gets arrested for wasting police time" :lol:

"then i go round and kill his budgie with a teaspoon...f***in harder than is sounds....also i could put him in a vice, so that its holding him securely but causing no discomfort at all.....then get a bag of trail mix.....and feed the greedy bast*rd.....and somethings gunna give....it's not going to be the vice ;)"

I cope OK with being alone. But I also hate not being in a relationship. All my previous relationships were with people that I knew for a while - i.e. classmates / workmates.

In a certain way I understand you as well. But I've learned that the sharing must start from you.

Accepting invitations and enjoying yourself is half way done. Now you should invite other as well and maybe something can develop out of this. Of course, that if you wnat something to develop from it all.

After a bad breakup, I decided to drop from the face of the earth, so I literally ran to the furthest place I could (at the time, I've accepted a job that took me into the jungle - 2 days away from the closest supermarket).

After I came back, I realized that all the problems were still there, so I the problem wasn't others, but myself. Things got better after I realized that, but I'm still working on it. Called me a fool, but I believe I can get there eventually.
 
I love most Stand-ups. It would be easier to name the ones I dislike with there being fewer. I love stand-up. Laughing is an amazing gift of which I am happy to abuse. Off to see "Kevin Bloody Wilson" Next week. He's an Australian Stand-up. Suppose to be pritty dam funny too. Looking fwd to it.

I used to have a neighbour like that... but now I have a new patio. ;)

Morning Chaos. :thumb:
 
I've never believed in running from problems...the only way to get through something is to take control of yourself and your life and take a running jump at the problem.

Now i've been in relationships that at the end of it i was feeling so bad that i let myself slip down a road that lead to nothing good.

But i dragged myself out of it because it wasn't doing any good for me, And since then....i've got stronger both mentally and physically, my approach to the opposite sex has changed slightly...i no longer fully commit myself. i always show i care, go out for meals and go to the cinema, for a quiet drink in a pub or sat in with a pizza and few drinks, going bowling...basic things you'd find in a relationship. But i sometimes cancel, she sometimes cancels and i don't dote upon every single text. i don't wonder when i'll next see her. because i've learnt that if i do that....if i attach myself like that again. it'll probably go wrong pretty damn soon.

It's well known by my friends that i can get a new GF easily, and generally speaking their good looking girls. but i've always had trouble sticking with em due to getting too attached.

So on a nicer note i'd like to say: hope you all know abit more about me, hell i'm a really social person and tend to love meeting new people aswell as letting those who already know me, know alittle more...but if i had to finish this with a quote it'd be: "when life gives you lemons....make lemonade"
 
I've always been very social person myself. I have a make poeple like me complex. I really annoy myself at times too. For some reason I try really hard to be liked when I have soo many friends? It doesn't make sense... but anyway.
When it comes to girls, I was a slow starter. Always on the side lines. Basicly I was a little chicken **** lol. Took one crazy lass to break me and I was away. Was still a chicken **** like but I got myself out there. problem with having GF for me was the same as my original problem. I couldn't break up with them because it would make me the bad man. I was so stupid. I ended up with girls for much longer than intended periods.

Of course, that's all behind me now. I've grown up and I'm engaged. God I just made myself feel old. ¬_¬

Mmm, quite the ladies man, aren't you? =)
Rule of thumb for me is to attach myself only as much / as little as the other wants to, specially because each of us have their own pace. If it's not close to how much I want to attach myself to her, then I try to think if it's really worth it.

I guess it's just human nature. I also have a bunch of friends, some of them really good friends I feel confortable enough to even ask for huge favours, os basically it's not onl;y friends of the goof around variety. I do like to meet more people though. But now, I realized that things didn't go well when I tried a bit harder to be liked in ways that I would not act as I usually do. Funny, most of these teenage movies / dramas from my time were strong on the "be yourself" message, but it took quite a while for this to really sink in.

Mmmm, where is the crazy lass that wil break me like that? I realize I'm a lot like that and i don't like. Guess this is just part of me being somewhat introverted to begin with.

Tell me about it. Those movies are so far from reality it's suprising we haven't had more cases on the news of people burning their johnson's with steaming pies or brass instruments removed from body parts. I think it was more like the film "Loser" except instead of becoming cool after a few months, it takes years (and you don't get the girl). lol

There will be a crazy lass out there mate. lol
I remember like it was just yesterday. The wierd thing is that she approached me. I was se defensive I can't believe she tried for so long. It's amazing how one event can change your perspective. It will happen to everyone one day.

*looks at watch*

Gah! Time for lunch. Be back laters. :p
 
*Sigh*

Glad i looked on here.....i've just had the morning from hell and frankly....i've just binned a load of work and nobody has said a word to me about it because i basically ripped a unit managers head off moments ago.

Decided that i'm finishing work and going to the pub. there's one next door so i'm getting Leo to come into town for 5pm.

fcuk i just remembered i finish work at 4pm today....*sends second txt to leo*


I guess so Chaos :)
It's just never been a problem getting the girl i wanted. in some occasions i've had gf's that i've had to sit down and think "how the hell have i got someone so beautiful?" but its not all about looks....you can have someone who's blonde with a perfect body, tanned just right so she doesn't look like an orange blur and a pair of D's but you stick with them for 5 or so months....and out of nowhere it all ends...and she becomes a bitter person to you for no reason.

So its not all win...
have always been told that i wear my heart on my sleeve.....guess it doesn't help that i roll up my sleeves on all my shirts and hoodies :lol:

but through age comes wisdom, and now i'm abit more....i dunno, distant? i waited for ages to see if i liked a girl enough to even meet her parents. since then i've been to family do's with her and found out her relations know alot of my mates and knew people i knew since i was 5. so its a small world....but even now....i hold back...to make sure that if the worst happens....it won't hurt half as much.
 
Good afternoon gentlemen

*looks at above posts*

...

okay a lot to take in there, but i'll just have to lightly skip over it as i've got news

*dangles keys*

I've got a place of my own now :D We saw the house this morning and accepted, there's decorating work to do but its all good, rooms are nicely sized
 
I'll be there on monday......congratz Black :)
:thumb: step one of the elaborate plan done....now for step 2....in the next few months ;)
 
Sweet! Hope you have a B&Q Warehouse near by coz they have everything... not that your planning too much straight away. Heh. I'm assuming you'll be just giving it a fresh lick of paint for now?
 
oh yeah, plus there's a B&Q store right nearby (i say right nearby its a 5-10 min car ride) but we're only painting and putting done carpets where needed. We've pretty much got all the furniture, just need a cooker. the website FreeCycle was a great help we got two three seater sofas from using it. Both good nick and it didn't cost us anything.
