You already have a new lady friend? FUUUUUUUUUUU that was fast.

  I feel like a dick, I'm actually really concerned about my ex. Especially after she finds out about this.

i had a weird dream about christina hendricks today. it was a lucid one. she was wearing that red dress and i was feeling her up, and i swear to god, i then told myself that it wasn't real and she turned into cardboard cutout.

i knew i was dreaming. never happened to me before.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

She's gorgeous (though she should be with her natural hair color) but people oversaturating pictures and fawning over her has ruined her to me.  These days, I just tend to Adblock pictures of her getting posted.

Though it is pretty telling how people react to a woman with a little body fat on her.  Not to mention a woman who isn't always clubbing or in and out of rehab.  She's the antithesis of female celebrities of the mid and late 2000s.

I have hallucinations multiple times a week now. I woke up this morning hearing someone knocking on my door. It was my roommate, who asked if I could drive him to the store to get something later today. I said yes and went to bed. Four hours later I'm up and can't remember whether this really happened or was some dream. We went shopping yesterday so it's kinda odd he'd ask to go again.

That's pretty elaborate for a hallucination.

[Phoenix Dark]

True. I'll just ask him if he needs to go shopping.  But like I said, we bought a shit ton of stuff last night.

[Bacchus7]

Date yesterday went awesome. I texted her later that night that I wanted to cuddle. She didn't text me back until really late, after I had already assumed that she wouldn't text me back and gotten super high. She came over, and we made out on my bed for a little bit, and then I promptly fell asleep, and she left. I'm seeing her again tonight, won't be high, and I'll touch her like she deserves.

Every time I shake my head in real life I actually say smh in my mind and in english! the fucking internet rots your brain much faster than video games could ever dream of.

Im hoping this is just a fuckbuddy.

I could literally have a five girl harem right now, so we'll see. Being single in Japan is unbelievably awesome.

I just got out of a 5hr resident's association meeting. On a Sunday. I got picked for the board this year and it has been one of the most tedious experiences of my life. In the 5 person meeting today, I neither spoke or was spoken to once beyond "hellos". Only my iPhone kept me sane. Thankfully, the next meeting (in 2 weeks' time) is the last one ever for me - a new board will be picked and I can hand that shit off to someone else.

On the plus side, we're negotiating a new ISP provider contract that will give us a 1Gps (yes, GIGABIT) backbone for our 27-household apartment block. for USD$9/month.

[Green Shinobi]

That was actually pretty funny. 

[Bacchus7]

Saw girl that I like last night. I wasn't high. Slept over at hers, got some good cuddling in, rounded some bases. I'm excited for this!

That's pretty awesome. We're paying ¥7000 for phone/internet fiber-optic to home, which is better than what my US friends pay. Plus, it works. Most friends in the USA complain about how crappy -and- slow their service is.

My wife was elected to the PTA board one night because she was unable to show up and remove herself. That summarizes Japanese logic to me: give the responsibility to someone who couldn't even manage to show up. :smh

[Don Flamenco]

hmm, thinking about taking a break/quitting law school after this semester.  I'm just super unhappy with it.  Maybe I'll get over it. 
Keep on having these "grass is greener" thoughts about how it would be nice to simplify my life by just working a crap retail job and working up the retail ladder. 

[Flannel Boy]

Kranz, just take a two to three month break at the beginning of each semester like me.   

[T234]

Should he also totally not talk to women he would actually like to date like you don't, Malek?

[Flannel Boy]

I don't know--should he cry while masturbating like you?

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Considering the legal profession is in the shitter, if you don't have a passion for law, I wouldn't even bother.  That way you can work a crap retail job without the $100,000 student loan debt.

[Phoenix Dark]

argh, I don't have your brains to pull off that kind of shit, unfortunately. 

Considering the legal profession is in the shitter, if you don't have a passion for law, I wouldn't even bother.  That way you can work a crap retail job without the $100,000 student loan debt.

for me, it also means moving out of the city, pretty much exiting my social life completely and really being back at square 1 from before I even started undergrad...some serious "tail between my legs" shit.

I don't know.  Coming from a person who owes a shitload in student loans, not having a bunch of them means a lot.  I'd risk the tail between the legs strategy if it meant having much greater financial flexibility in the future, instead of wondering how to make $1000 a month payments with a $35,000 a year job.  It's pessimistic and assumes you'd fail but given that the legal profession has taken an especially harsh beating, the industry will remain in poor shape for a while I imagine.  In that instance, I'd have to have a big passion for law to keep going.

[Green Shinobi]

Go to law school, file for bankruptcy immediately after graduation.

Problem solved?

[Madrun Badrun]

You can't do that.  At least you can't in Canada.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Student loans will carry over from a bankruptcy.  Too many law school graduates kept trying to file for bankruptcy to avoid paying the loans from what I heard.

I hope that Congress can get through the law that cuts payments down to 10% of your monthly earnings and automatically ends after 20 years.  To have the kind of special protections that they do is pretty much bullshit.

[bud]

do you guys ever find yourselves watching porn without actually jo'ing to it?

i occasionally do that...

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Can't say that I have.  Porn has a very utilitarian function for me.

Rap is garbage, so no

I wouldn't actually have much debt coming out of school. And I have a small leg up in the job market. Part of my urge to quit is to get more independent, in hopes that I'll find what I actually want to do with myself, instead of what's expected of me (or what I've built up in my head, but without the passion to back it up, if that makes any sense.)  I guess I know I'm in the wrong place because I can't go 5 minutes without thinking about how much I hate some aspect of law school.    I do enjoy class from time to time and some of the subject matter is great, but there's a huge disconnect between reality and the intellectual experience.

working up the nerve to admit all this to my family is really the big hurdle.  that and moving to a cheaper place. moving is such a pain in the ass!

Physiologically, sleep paralysis is closely related to the paralysis that occurs as a natural part of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is known as REM atonia. Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain awakes from a REM state, but the body paralysis persists. This leaves the person fully conscious, but unable to move. The paralysis can last from several seconds to several minutes "after which the individual may experience panic symptoms and the realization that the distorted perceptions were false".[5] As the correlation with REM sleep suggests, the paralysis is not entirely complete; use of EOG traces shows that eye movement can be instigated during such episodes.[6] When there is an absence of narcolepsy, sleep paralysis is referred to as isolated sleep paralysis (ISP).[7]

In addition, the paralysis state may be accompanied by terrifying hallucinations (hypnopompic or hypnagogic) and an acute sense of danger.[8] Sleep paralysis is particularly frightening to the individual because of the vividness of such hallucinations.[7] The hallucinatory element to sleep paralysis makes it even more likely that someone will interpret the experience as a dream, since completely fanciful, or dream-like, objects (often described as looking distinctly demonic by those who experience the paralysis)[citation needed] may appear in the room alongside one's normal vision. Some scientists have proposed this condition as an explanation for alien abductions and ghostly encounters.[9] A study by Susan Blackmore and Marcus Cox (the Blackmore-Cox study) of the University of the West of England supports the suggestion that reports of alien abductions are related to sleep paralysis rather than to temporal lobe lability.[10]

I experienced this for the first time last week and I swear that I've never experienced fear like that in my life. I didn't go back to sleep until like 6 AM when the sun was coming up and I left the light on in my room. I haven't thought about it until last night and i wasn't able to go to sleep until 5 AM.

I'm 22 years old this month and I'm afraid of the fucking dark again.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I never had sleep paralysis but I discovered recently that I snore.  I am semi conscious when I hear it

Ok.  I thought that you were going to be like a lot of law students that racks up a bunch of debt without a job.

When I was doing my engineering major, I hated every minute but trudged along anyway.  I didn't really have any passion for the major but I had to get something.

Anyway, good luck on whatever your decision is.

My dad just randomly decided to buy a new car out of nowhere.  This was pretty unexpected since his old car had been a broken mess for years and he just kept fixing it up.  I'm talking to my brother on im and he's like "you know dad bought a new car" and I'm like wtffffff

[Green Shinobi]

This is basically me. I can play more or less anything if I have tab handy but have a tin ear so have a terrible time playing the most basic songs without it. This is also why I barely play anymore.

My new goal in life is to watch Cormac shred.

[Groogrux]

Every V-Day I try to do something creative and low-budge for the wife (cause we is po'er than dirt, we is), and every time she beats me.  I hung up signs all over the house with a little cartoon guy that I drew saying how much I love her.  She got me a really sweet card that she had bought a long time ago.

I can't.  I'm at work, again.  FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..........

[demi]

Do it when shes sleeping. It will make it more romantic.

[Moran]

I've only had one sleep paralysis incident, thought i was dying at first but once i realised it was just sleep paralysis the evil creatures suddenly glowed with positive vibes and I felt completely relaxed. It actually helped me figure out a lot of the shit that was bothering me at the time.

I'm horny.

Just got done with a great plate of baked spaghetti.

[Don Flamenco]

So, I ran into that girl today and used the opportunity to ask her out, but she doesn't like me that way. So whatever.

mope on it a little, but you'll get over it. the trick is to surround yourself with a ton of people, so when the one you want doesn't want you, you can distract yourself quickly.  

[The Fake Shemp]

Hello, doll. My name is Chad McKeon, neighborhood trolly master! How would you like to escort me to soapbox social, and maybe we can lay down some squares?

[Don Flamenco]

also, go around telling everyone that you won the lottery or something and that you're now filthy rich.  Hopefully, the news will get back to her before everyone figures out you're lying, so she'll feel REALLY bad for about an hour.  after everyone finds out, you'll be blackballed completely, but whatever, in that short period of time, you were a fucking rockstar!

[Raban]

How did you do it?

Well, we talked for a couple of minutes about general shit and she had asked me what I did yesterday, I lied and told her I helped my sister do her Science project and black history report. She told me that she wanted to go see that Valentine's Day flick but couldn't get anyone to go with her.

At this point in the conversation my sister took the opportunity to remind me that I had someone to take her and that I was running late; so I told her that for the later half of the week I didn't have much going on and if she wanted, I could take her to go see the Valentine's Day movie. She told me I was very sweet for offering but she just doesn't like me like that.

So yeah, I don't understand what I did wrong but I will wallow in self-pity regardless.

This probably isn't valid advice seeing as how I've never scored, but: I would stop bullshitting and beating around the bush. Just be really forward.

You should have told her you dont like her like that either and you just wanted to go see a movie. Also frown while doing this.

This could possibly be a good tactic, or it would make her feel so awkward she'd still turn you down.

i was just chatting with the girl in white on chatroulette

she's so cute

(she left after 15 minutes :'( )

edit: i meant the third girl

[Raban]

[Mupepe]

It depends on the kind of girl you're talking to in my experience.  Girls that really just want to fuck and get it on and not have anything super serious, be forward.  Girls that want a relationship, keep them guessing.

it's backwards!  I know!  The girls that say they're not looking for games and want to be serious are the ones who want you to play games and not be serious*!

*This isn't always the case and blindly judging any woman in any way is a bad idea and these suggestions are simply things to think about when you're analyzing how to get a woman.  You shouldn't seriously pursue either of these types of women.

[Raban]

Just reading the tips are a mind fuck. I give up. Goddamned women.

[Mupepe]
