Still, I feel that it's such a burn, even coming from a close friend, that you've got to be able to comeback with a sick burn as well. Not one that's actually insulting to any personal features, but something along the "not even if you begged me" line of reasoning but better than that. Wit...

small update: after having chatted with her some more, but knowing she hasn't read the email yet, I am nonetheless reassured that I am not barking up the wrong tree, and that the tree is just as fun, pretty, and awesome as I have thus far believed her to be. ^_^ hoooo. I am exhausted.

Favorite musically inclined acts today (and I literally just mean today): Gorillaz White Stripes Carolina Chocolate Drops Project Trio Rodrigo Y Gabriela Beatles Daft Punk Franz Ferdinand Gnarls Barkley Favorite Musical Individuals (again, literally just today) John Coltrane Jack White Damon Albarn ...

Well, no updates from the me camp. 8 hour time differences do cause things like asking people out by email to be a bit more... shall we say, anxious? I'm hoping that my access of being my raw, rambling word stew self has not put this girl I like off, and I don't think it has because things were goin...

I have a past history with one of my best friends being with a complete bastard. Without going into detail, because I don't feel the right or ability to, I had the power, information and contacts to get this guy arrested on felony charges, but I didn't because my friend begged me not to, and she hap...

Test away. I always feel, and try to live by (though often fail to), the idea that I will always regret more not acting and not initiating something then I will mishandling or failing at something. The only kind of failure that I suck at dealing with with is the failure to act and the failure to dec...

We're probably going to hit a midnight of the new harry potter with some folks when I get back thursday. I'll have been traveling all day back from europe at that point, but on the bright side, 8 hours of jet lag should make it feel like 8 am when the movie starts for me. i hate you so much right n...

I just want to come by and drop word to you all of a group of my favorite poets and authors, and that group is Fernando Pessoa, portuguese poet, essayist, prose writer, and the innovator of the heteronym. A heteronym is an assumed writing identity, as opposed to a pseudonym, an assumed name. Heteron...

exactly, and just the point that I want to be with her in person again, but can't yet, but I know I'm in all likelihood going to get to be, with new stuff and things to talk about. And with stuff to show and give and such. and till then, internet and chatting and such. We're probably going to hit a ...

well, having heard from here, irl friends and NPR to check it out, I did, and it's a damn fine children's animated. I respect it as an animator and a writer, and think we need more quality like this targeted at young girls. It's probably the best female targeted animated program since the Powerpuff ...

So, Big Relationship Thread... How is it going? Feel free to skip to the end at any point: I have never been in this thread for a significant period of time, and have not been in it all for a while, so my following rambling has nothing to do with the current state of discussion. I come with news! A...

I'm going to be in portugal, Lying. I'll take it back with me, souvenir-like, savvy?

/otherwise, your appraisal would be most correct.

In an unrelated note, I think I'm going to get my new ladyfriend a necklace made from a coin in Portugal.

Epoc: Let's try this again. I am not trying to disrespect established counselling methods, counsellors themselves, or the people who go to them. I'm just saying they don't work for me. A Psychiatrist could give me drugs, but I don't want to be on drugs. Anyone else could counsel me or psychoanalyse...

Good point. I should say, that's only my experience of them. My opinion garndered from my experience, and experiences friends have had. I doubt my mind was made for stability either, I just don't get on with the way counsellors tend to work. Nothing does more to damage the practice then bad therapi...

I respectfully disagree with your appraisal of psychology/psychiatry. That said, you may not need one. I need one, on retainer of sorts, because my mind wasn't made for stability without effort.

I was reading this book, and according to it (take this with a grain of salt, it was written by a less popular version of Adams/Pratchett), one of the signs of true love is getting kicked out of a place for talking to long. I meant to ask, Dreamer, what author/book is that? (edit: And yes, I'd say ...

I agree, a phsychiatric therapist (MD or PHD) could be quite helpful in this situation, or even just a social work, but if you feel it's that serious it's better to seek help sooner, and act in preemption. That's what I've been doing for about the last 3 years, and I think it's been helping. Emotion...

Good luck. I was in a similar situation when I started grad school a year ago, and I didn't know what to do either. I didn't act soon enough, and once they were in the kind of phase, I gave up on the girl I was crushing on. Now she and I are still friends, she and my other friend (who was the quasi)...

Hi Mimm, what up?!

Hi! enjoy your stay, and remember, don't eat it until you buy it.

You know, we also agreed, me and this girl, we agreed that nothingness, i.e. absence, is the scariest thing imaginable.

I like this girl. I need to take a calmness now.

Thanks for the recs! I must admit, I'm still not sure. some of my faves are eyewitnesses and talk like a pirate, and I was thinking of maybe going the enn/checkpoint or unskippable route... those could work, too. Rapidfire could be awesome, though, and I've got it on DVD. Don't start with your favo...

This all well and good (and I mean that sincerely), but it's not quite helping me figure out how to introduce my new lady friend to LRR.
