Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[Phoenix Dark]

God, Maurice. Just admit you're bisexual. FUCK. If not that, bi-curious.

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

I'm just trying to figure this shit out brehs. Sounds too complicated for me. It's like if, back when I played WoW, a friend invited me to do a dungeon and then I realized he was a tank. I was a tank too, so we'd have to decide who would go DPS. But if this was before you could have dual specs then one of us would either have to log into an alt or not play together.
 

[Himu]

Well, anal sex is not something you just plan on. You have to prepare for it and I think most gays are willing to change preferences depending on the situation.

[Phoenix Dark]

Yeah, or if you and a friend want to join a softball team, but you're both catchers.

Yea but softball is pretty gay.

[Kara]

I think there's a difference between asking questions out of mere curiosity, like this, and asking questions for future/immediate help, like when I asked white people how do I cook asparagus.

No, PD. No one straight tries to gain that much information about gay sex rituals and acts. NO ONE. You're like,"What do you guys do while one is fucking the other?" *jots down notes* On some sensei-student relationship. Zeph ain't your Mr. Miyagi unless you want him to teach you in the ways of gay sex, breh. There's nothing with it. We AIN'T JUDGING YOU. But on the real, we just want what is best for your well being and mental health and we think it is past time you stop with the games and come out! We'll still love you! We are an accepting community!

I know I posted before replying to this post but real talk takes time y'all and my mind was easily distracted by memories of big beautiful thighs. 

You worry me.

I'm sorry, H. If it makes you feel any better, because of my warped sense of masculinity and the circumstances of my life I live for situations like these. I once waited 53-54 hours to seek medical attention when suffering from appendicitis, for example. (I didn't think I had appendicitis but something that would just go away with time because it didn't hurt on my side, well at least it didn't until they touched me there in the emergency room at 3 am.) I can't handle everyday life, but crisis makes me feel almost comfortable. Perhaps it's best to not tempt the hand of fate after what I've been dealt by it of late, but I make posts like that to cope with my situation by laughing at both the fact that something so awful is an actual improvement in my life, and that I really did think to myself, "great, now I have 30 less minutes to get my life in order before I walk out into hell for the day," when I woke up because that's the emotional state I'm otherwise in at the moment.

I'm worried too though. I'm worried that I'll have this condition for the rest of my life. (Worrying about being worried...  ) The career I want to change into has health requirements and other than this I'm in perfect health, so this would be all that held me up. I'm worried about taking another flying leap in my life to make that career change, the last two times I did that I ended up with (1) a crippling economic problem I can't escape and (2) being emotionally eviscerated in a way that I couldn't even imagine while looking like an utter fool at the same time. I'm worried that I'm being antithesis instead of synthesis by making that career change, even if it's been awful sometimes my field gave me a shot and allowed me to succeed even though I entered it as a worthless shit who should have been unemployable. I'm worried that I'll never be able to build a life for myself, that I'll just be what I am now for the rest of my life--a tool to be wielded as needed then discarded when no longer operating as intended, and not even for something rad like the Party or love or ideals, but just to subsist. I'm worried that I'll never find someone else. I'm worried that changing who I was, even though I know I have to after hearing the same shit I'd heard from exes in my early 20s from "the one" at my age after 5.5 years together, will make the previous concern all the more likely to occur. I'm worried someone else won't want to stick with me for the long haul after they go through the skeletons in my closet with me. I'm worried I'll have horrible trust issues after someone basically said, "lol nvm," 2 months after consulting with counsel about marrying me. I'm worried about picking through the things about me I want to keep and the things about me I want to discard to change who I am. I didn't make some of these decisions a long time ago when I should have made them.

But even though I'm worried, I know that this time when I fucked up I've had the presence of mind to keep myself going and to make changes to my life where and when I can. I went to the doctor when I was sick, and before I was completely destroyed by what was making me sick. The old me would have gone another couple of nights trying to drink the problem away. Even though they fired me, I reached back out to my shrink and tried to resolve the differences we'd had previously. I made peace with my bipolar parent (they had a falling out with my ex very early on in our relationship and it was a perpetual source of bad blood between them that I never resolved, I just retreated from my parent into my ex), not because the situation demanded it (as I might have done in the past), but because I realized when writing that long post to Awesome-O in the relationship thread awhile back that I'd become so gross a person that I didn't have basic human empathy for my own parent but I could muster it for a total stranger on the internet. (I know we bros AO, I'm just keeping it real here.) No matter what someone does / has done to you, you can't lose empathy. Like the great proletarian hero once told us, ни шагу назад. (I don't actually think of this person as a hero, FYI.)

I know this may come as a shock but there is more to gay sex than just anal. It's actually not even that common among gay men, actually. Oral can be just as awesome, because guys universally just suck dick better. In fact, aside from bottom preparation, gay sex is extraordinarily simple.

MJ is serious help for digestive disorders, no need to mock Himu. My wife has a bile disorder that arose as a complication of getting her gall bladder removed. Basically her body produces way too much bile, causes chronic nausea, diarrhea, etc -- they've put her on all sorts of different chemi shit like cholysteramine to absorb/neutralize it but it comes with it's own host of problems -- pot actually stops her body from over producing in the first place and allows her a more normal life. Imagine that.

Very recently there have been studies that marijuana is effective in treating Crohn's as well:

Whippets cause lasting brain damage -- poppers do not. Whippets are nitrous oxide (NO2), whereas poppers are alkyl nitrites (R-NO2). Poppers also last about 2 minutes longer. There's also a difference in how they're found -- whippets are just inhaling like whip cream containers. Poppers are a liquid whose fumes you inhale.

Where are you getting your information about NO2? Dentists use the stuff regularly, so I'm guessing it /can/ be used safely. Are you referring to all usage scenarios, or specific common one?

Volleyball. No question.

Here's an experiment which proves my hypothesis: search for sexy advertisements featuring female softball players, then do the same for volleyball.

I win.

When I was in uni I had (then) Pac-10 women's volleyball set to auto-record on my DVR.

Recreational use only. Doctors mix nitrous oxide with regular oxygen with regards to anaesthesia. Whippets on their own do cause some damage.

Those were the days... 

I would say you could reach me on Steam chat but I haven't used Steam regularly since a game of Dota ~week after my breakup existentially overwhelmed me.

I will shoot you a PM I guess, unless there's some other common instant messenger I don't know about.

[Himu]

Facebook messenger works

[Kara]

I never really used my Facebook. 

[Broseidon]

skype?

[Kara]

I do use that!

Well, did. 

Still installed on my PC doe.

[Kara]

My alarm woke me up instead of my anxiety this morning. 

It was set for 6:30 doe. 

I hit off when it sounded and went back to bed. 

Then I woke up in terror 30 minutes later. 

So I threw on some sneakers and went jogging for a couple of miles. 

[Kara]

idk, hopefully my new shrink will want to diagnose that with me instead of harping on the same old shit.

My PCP thinks I'm just overwhelmed by being alone.

[Himu]

karakand answer my pm!

[Kara]

I am on neither of those. I will definitely consider buspar if I can't get it together soon.

I've never had an anxiety problem before--it's why I'm able to do my horrible hellish job so well--so I think my PCP may be right. Despite being a frequent flier of the system, I'm no shrink doe.

karakand answer my pm!

Done, sorry. I had a lot of shit to write. 

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I spent the past week in Houston.  My thoughts:

1) The weather is unbearable.  It was like breathing water.  Around my parts, you get maybe a small handful of days like that but it was like that at all times, even at night.  I saw some people mow grass wearing long sleeve shirts and I felt sorry for them.  That has to be fucking brutal.

2) Traffic is ridiculous.  I was in the Energy Corridor area and the lanes were packed even at 9 PM.  It really got in the way of me wanting to do stuff in the few off hours I had.  I had to depend on the kindness of strangers basically who let me in to drive on the streets.  Otherwise I wouldn't be able to get on the fucking road.  On the other hand, everyone is an aggressive driver.  Somehow it all worked out as I didn't see an accident.  I was on the Sam Houston Tollway going 85 with everyone else and passed some cops who were parked on the side of the road.  In my area, cops really bust you for driving violations.  I had a cop pull me over once for going 4 mph over.  In Houston you could whiz by cops going 20+ mph over.

3) I saw a lot of pretty black girls down there.

4) Delta Airlines sucks.  I usually fly United and never had a problem with them.  However Delta was cheaper this time so I was made to use them.  With Delta, every flight was late and I had to stop off at fucking Atlanta of all places to get back to the midwest.

I wish I had more time to see if I could meet with the Houston Boreans.  I'll be back down in November if anyone is down.

[Himu]

You aren't driving on a Texas freeway unless it's 80 mph.

Now you know why I want out of this state!!!! Yeah, we have to do yard work in this weather.

[Phoenix Dark]

I went to Texas a few years ago, around April. It was pretty windy, and all my Texan relatives told me I came at the perfect time because in a month or two it would be hot as fuck.

[TVC15]

I stayed in bed until 4pm, mostly awake for the last 4 hours, pondering every little detail of my death.  How people would react, where I'd do it, what the aftermath would be.  Just hours and hours of staring at the ceiling, occasionally checking the internet on my tablet.  Then I got up and played Diablo for an hour and a half and watched the last episode of True Detective.

Of course the one day I don't want to go to the office I have to cause of the VPN not working... I don't understand why this shit keeps breaking, but it does.

[archnemesis]

Are you using wifi? I always make sure I'm on a wired connection if I need to use a VPN. Minor disturbances might cause the VPN to drop.

[G The Resurrected]

I'm wired up all the time on my main pc and have never had a problem before. It's just a sign I am supposed to show my face after being sick the week of E3 and Destiny Alpha. For which I was actually sick but continued to work from home still while I was sick. At least I don't have to deal with VMware's bullshit today YAY!

[Kara]

My alarm woke me up again today. #daybyday 

Unfortunately I was in quite a state all morning. Since I'm feeling overwhelmed by paralysis I decided I was going to move since that's something I could make happen in a month or so and it would force me into new situations. So this weekend I went through all my fucking personal items, contacted some people who were looking for roommates and then took a look at my finances... only to realize that because of some large expenses I incurred earlier in the year because of my relationship I wouldn't be able to move for 3 months at the earliest and got overwhelmed by the paralysis. I thought sleeping would knock it off but it didn't and I had to duck out of my morning client and make a 90 minute "I'm a fucking wreck" phone call to a confidant. Thankfully everyone in that office is on vacation. 

I can't even get a new fucking shrink. I was supposed to have my phone intake interview today that I scheduled last week but when I called after not receiving it they told me it wouldn't be until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. I THOUGHT WAIT TIMES ONLY EXISTED IN HORRIBLE SOCIALIST SYSTEMS. 

When I leave work I'm just gonna jog a bunch of miles, at least I'm the only one in control of my fitness.

Walked into the office and picked up a 4g ipad to use while I'm out of office sick. I haven't had the pleasure of using an Ipad air till today and I think I'll pick up the next revision. It's light and snappy and does what I need it to do without any bs getting in the way. I wanted one of the Surface 3 pro's but they were all assigned already, but I put in my name for the next batch.

Also had to pick up some snail mail and got my invitation to skywalker ranch. Talk about an early birthday present!!!

You know whats ironic when you're cable companies streaming VOD service looks better than their live channel content. I get 1080p streams for most HD content, but horrible crappy pixelated junk via their hd channel lineup. Just sign me up for the digital only package where I get access to past episodes via VOD whenever I want it. Oh wait that'll never happen...

I saw some serious whitepeopledancing.gif material irl today, goddamn. I think I got bruises from a chick doing the weirdest fucking Elaine-Benes-at-a-hippie-festival moves. At least most of the bruises would have been caused by her ridiculously ample chest

[Kara]

I got a new shrink. 

But they can't see me for 2.5 weeks. 

And they won't offer me any therapy, just treatment and medication management. 

So I have to find a plain ol' therapist too, which means not one but two harrowing emotional intake exams in my near future. 

[TVC15]

I see a psychiatrist and a therapist every week. They compare notes. You might not have to do two intakes.

[Kara]

Seeing the therapist first (in a week, just scheduled an appointment), I'll suggest it.

[Kara]

fml I just realized I scheduled the therapist on the same day that that person I kind of work with invited me to go to Disneyland and it's a midday appointment so I can't do both.

Now I have to either (1) reschedule my therapist appointment and delay medical care I would seemingly need badly atm or (2) lose face with my client by cancelling on the excursion for cryptic reasons because I can't exactly broadcast I'm such a wreck that I need to prioritize medical care over having a good time.
