Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[The Sceneman]

Got a date lined up from OKCupid. Her name is Ness, like in Earthbound 

One day on OKCupid and he gets a date. 

I'm surprised too! She approached me and we got flirty, and yeah.

[Don Flamenco]

but i found some dude selling a fully loaded modded xbox for $55 so i'm happy.   i'll be in spike out land soon enough...if my hands don't hurt tomorrow.

You know they will. See a doctor.

I'm giving that till Friday.   Today was much better and I realized the pain is in very specific spots-- exactly where I hold the controller I use for UMVC3.  I got a new one that accepts a much lighter touch (I was using a saturn pad which requires a pretty heavy press and I was playing online which makes clench up.)

but the whole thing got me pretty worried, might just go in for an xray anyways. 

[Huff]

At a bar, bartender letting is us call out own specialty drinks. Mine are pretty bad, I should just let the guys paid to do this give me good drinks

[Don Flamenco]

Wow. I just got three copyright infringement notices from Comcast because of some bad porn I downloaded. First time this has ever happen. Porn companies on top of this crap better then your game and movie companies.

I can't figure out which one it is on there. Send me a pic.

I found the trade name "White Knight Transportation Ltd." in  a case, so I had to google.


Meh.

[Atramental]

Ey. A little bit of benign neglect towards your lady friend could do you some good, Shark.

[Huff]

SJ, at this stage, you should probably be trying to score with everyone, even if you don't particularly like them. As long as they are attractive enough (or not). Good practice for when you find someone you want

whoa damn!   

i've only gotten one.  From Sega for downloading Phantasy Star Portable 2 off of Demonoid, which I did because PSN was being too slow or down (I had purchased the game.)   This was years after the game came out and when it was selling as a super discount game at $10.   

i'm still wtfing about that

[Madrun Badrun]

Just bit my cheek very badly.  I taste nothing but blood.

[Rufus]

Hope you don't end up biting into the swollen wound like I always end up doing.

What's up with youtube being slow as shit? My videos keep buffering

DVDs or porn vids from websites?

Mostly seems to be videos from Reality Kings, Brazzers, ect. I've gotten a lot all of a sudden. Kind of freaking out. Looks like I'll just stick to streaming.

[brawndolicious]

You didn't ask her if she was gay did you?

[Boogie]

I just got home.

In the past 41 hours, I have spent 37 of them working.  I went home and got four hours of sleep in the middle of that stretch.

Because of that break, it's not a personal best for consecutive hours worked (I know I've hit a couple 26ish hour shifts), but over a two-day period, this has got to be the record for me, by far.

I am completely drained, but also proud of the crazy work I and my team did this week.  I need to sleep.

And yet, I'm sitting here, feeling too awake to go to bed yet.  The roller coaster of energy just won't let me crash right now.  (plus, I drank a full can of Amp energy thinking I was going to have to work for another few hours just before my boss told me I can go home, so, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE)

[Phoenix Dark]

I'd buy you a beer Boogie, good job

[Don Flamenco]

You didn't ask her if she was gay did you?

No.

I ended up giving her my number before texting her so she'd know it was me, maybe that was dumb, and she texted me super late and I responded in the morning and there were like two messages exchanged and that was it. Pretty sure she wont talk to me again.

Jesus, next time, wait with a stop watch after the first text for approximately 36 minutes.  this is the sweet spot.   Not too soon to seem desperate, not too late to seem disinterested.   Play it smooth, but act excited to talk to her.  Suggest something casual but romantic.  Take control of the conversation but try to be egalitarian about it.   Then ask to put it in her buttttttttttttttt

Yeah you've blown it as much as she's blown you. Have you ever thought of sending a "Hey maybe we should talk more in-depth" message? Or just do "~~~~~~<====3" if that'll give you comfort in literally having blown it.

I know the feeling.  I worked 72 hours straight a few years ago when I was in private EMS.  Luckily, I worked for a small and slow company with dispatchers that were nice to me.  I got a few chances to get 4-5 hours of sleep during that stretch.  But when I got home, I slept for 18 hours without waking once...

Still yet, police work and private EMS are two completely different worlds, and I was younger then so it didn't hurt me too badly.  I applaud you, sir!

[Boogie]

Haha. I've worked 30+ hour days in the military and we used to joke about overtime.

Yeah, whenever I start boasting about OT on FB, my bro will start making snarky comments about his time in the army and the lack of OT.

So a few weeks back one of our cats was starting to get a distended belly and it was pushing out on her sides. So I took her to the vet, they ran a bunch of test's and stuff. About two weeks ago we got the results that she had a non operable form of cancer. So we've taken this time to make her as happy as can be. But things have been getting worse and worse for the poor kitty. So I brought up the fact that I think it might be time to put her to sleep. I thought it would be evident cause she's having breathing problems and can't use the bathroom anymore. No, the misses thinks she's ok and is in complete denial about the situation. Now I'm stuck having to be the bad guy and take the cat in. I think it's cruel to let the cat suffer any longer than it needs to. I just didn't expect so much opposition to the idea of peacefully putting her down.

I know what it's like to loose something you love, and having to make that very difficult choice. But this is just making it harder cause I have someone who can't see beyond themselves to understand the pain they are causing. I plan on taking the kitty in sometime today/tomorrow. I feel like shit for having to do it, but someone has to do the right thing. I'll miss this cat a lot, she may not have liked me much but she was a good cat and didn't deserve to go out like this.

So much emotion going on right now.  :'(

All this while I've been sick with a deviated septum that has caused me to get a horrible sinus infection and eye infection. I feel like I'm just falling apart at the seams. I have to hold out till the 26th for my ear/nose/throat doctor to find out when I'll get my operation done on my deviated septum. Till then I'm jet setting off to an interview thursday on a private plane. I just hope my brain doesn't explode from the pressure of the plane ride. I tried to get them to postpone the interview, but that wasn't an option since the start date is the first week of may for their project lockdown.

It's not my cat, it's Roxannes cat. She's a feral type hence the name Spooky, she is scared of everything and everyone. I've tried convincing her to come to the bore, but she has some reservations due to her issues. Plus I don't she'd add much to our boards she doesn't even post on Gaf much anymore, damn antisocialness.

Got my taxes done and realised I was getting something back this year!  But quickly realized it's probably not enough to cover the vet bills and cremation costs I've recently payed for. I wasn't expecting a lot, but a whole $9 from the state of california. I'm rich!

I come back home and see a bunch of notecards had flown out of a second floor apartment window and I spent like 10 minutes picking them up, noticing that the handwriting was very neat. I picked up all 50+ of them and went up to the apartment and was greeted by a guy in a tanktop, $30 hat, and tons of tattoos and he was very thankful.

I remembered that it still feels good to simply do a good deed....and brag about it.

Just finished Storm of Swords, which was fucking amazing. I'm kinda worried about reading the next 2 books because I hear they're such a drop off in quality.

Just know the next book doesn't feature most of the favorite characters; it's more character/drama driven than action driven like ASOS. The fifth book is long/plodding but definitely features many amazing scenes.

[Flannel Boy]

Ravanas described the elements of moral prejudice as follows:
The camera lens captures a human moment at its most intense, and the snapshot “defiles” that moment.  The privileged instant of personal life becomes “this object image offered to the curiosity of the greatest number”.  A person surprised in his or her private life by a roving photographer is stripped of his or her transcendency and human dignity, since he or she is reduced to the status of a “spectacle” for others. . . . This “indecency of the image” deprives those photographed of their most secret substance.

Someone likes 20th century continental philosophy.

Is EMS a delivery service?

emergency mountain sex

Both true.    

Private EMS is definitely a delivery service.  Pick up old and sick people at one nursing home/hospital and move them to another.  The "Emergency" part of Emergency Medical Services doesn't really apply much in the private sector, unless they're paid to be the service of choice for an entire city.

I've been on them completely for almost 9 months.  Haven't smoked a cigarette since.  Be careful with the juices you use for them, as some companies are inconsistent with their recipes and are fond of "bathtub" mixtures.  This is the juice company I use:  http://www.halocigs.com/e-liquid.html
