I think I might have better luck with a female. Find a really cracked out one. Offer her a couple hundred bucks and a meal at Dennys. I imagine dude whores as not being all cracked out and fucked up. I mean, I'm looking at the dregs of whores here, and I could see the worst of the worst she whores being way more depraved than the worst of the worst boy whores. Not sure how crazy I could expect transwhores to be. Himu, can you make an educated guess?

Where does a man go to find cracked out prostitutes?

TVC15 · « **Reply #2165 on:** January 31, 2015, 08:54:04 PM »

I just figure that if the Green River Killer could murder 70 prostitutes, maybe they should get to kill someone for once. Also, he managed to find more than 70 prostitutes to kill around here. That's a lot. There must be a fucking lot of desperate hookers around Seattle. They've had plenty of time to replenish.

This is kind of the problem. If a whore is organized enough to have an online presence, she's probably too together to murder a client at request. I need crazy. Where are all the crazy whores?

Got a text from my (older) cousin a few minutes ago, who wanted to know how I'm doing. After some small talk she said I love you...and I said I love you too. But then she responded "I know you do."

That seems like the type of thing you'd say to your wife or husband, not a family member. I only said I love you as a courtesy. I like her, she's my cousin...but that term seems best regulated to your mom and grandparents IMO.

Im in isolation as of yesterday, seems I have an infection of the liver. I've never been sicker in all my life. The abdominal pain is one thing, but add vomiting and large amounts of nauseating drugs and its a nightmare. I'm part of the 3% of folks that go through this after their operation. I just want to be healthy and go home.

TVC15 · « **Reply #2174 on:** February 01, 2015, 08:10:05 AM »

I'm sorry, G. I'd offer you my liver but it's probably even more trashed than yours.

Can you at least sleep through a lot of the day on those drugs?

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #2175 on:** February 01, 2015, 08:16:48 AM »

Not really. they got me on large amounts of cipro, which makes me very alert, hence why I'm up. I've been getting that and another drug in my iv which makes me want to throw up constantly. My body rests when it can but it's not resting long enough.

TVC15 · « **Reply #2176 on:** February 01, 2015, 08:18:57 AM »

On a scale of 1 to 10, how does the suffering rank with other moments of suffering you have experienced in your life? What words come to mind when you think about it?

12, it's exhausting, excruciatingly painful, eye opening, a deluge of negative stuff, I don't know any more adjectives outside of being scared shirtless at all of this. They don't really even know if it's liver failure or something else. The doctors have said very little to me and what little I get from my nurses isn't the whole picture.

If you're having liver problems this bad now, you're probably never going to be allowed to have fun again

I feel bad for you

Even though I'm a paranoid, suicidal shut-in, I'd probably think about possibly potentially visiting you if you were around here

I appreciate the thought Keith, it means a lot coming from you in your current situation. I don't know where this train is taking me, but I'm asking for the journey now. I plan to ask the doctors what their prognoses is and dive deep into what my roadmap to recovery looks like. I need to know that there is something that will get better here in the short term.

TVC15 · « **Reply #2182 on:** February 01, 2015, 08:52:47 AM »

I think I've reached the end of my Taco Bell relationship guys. The local taco places around here are just too good, and I've realized Taco Bell just doesn't compete. I'll still get Taco Bell as a last ditch fast food (say when I don't feel like cooking or ordering food) every now and then...but the days of me having a long term relationship with cheesy bean and rice burritos, chalupas, etc are over

My favorite taco place has amazing salsa. I'm going to head to the grocery store and see if I can find anything that tastes like it. I think it's like a minced salsa with red peppers but I'm not sure; the other is definitely a salsa verde. Really makes traditional Tostitos salsa taste like trash.

Taco Bell has been on a long decline anyway. They really fucked up when they got rid of the original Grilled Stuft Burrito maybe 3-4 years ago. I went to a Taco Bell recently and they had a chicken quesadilla for $3.59. That is almost double the price almost instantly for some reason (it used to be $1.99 just a year or two ago) but no additional chicken or sauce or cheese either. In 2008 I could get an XL Baja Blast, a chicken quesadilla, a beef grilled stuft burrito, and a spicy chicken burrito for $7.77. Getting fat never tasted so good. Now, all that is left is an overpriced quesadilla, a shittier version of the GSB, and no spicy chicken burrito. Their breakfast sucks and when I ate one of their rolled chicken tacos, it was that moment when I realized that the Taco Bell I knew and loved was dead.

Oh well, it had a nice run.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #2198 on:** February 01, 2015, 02:29:21 PM »

Those rolled chicken tacos are horrible. My mom used to buy the frozen rolled tacos for us back when I was a kid, and I always felt they were ok but nothing special. Taco Bell's managed to be worse than that...

While drunk the other night I wrote a surprisingly coherent and thorough essay on how to pronounce Moleskin. It was combative, but not angry drunk combative, it was more snide academic combative.

I was morbidly curious what I would have even been writing about while drunk and read those pages yesterday while compos mentis and when I got to that part I was

Got sick last week, 102.5º fever Wed. night, went to doctor on Thursday morning: no influenza

Stayed on prescription, but got more sick, with a cough getting progressively worse over the weekend, got maybe 2~3 hours sleep each night.

Monday morning here, I just got back from the doctor’s office again. X-rays show no pneumonia, but I have acute bronchitis.

My neighbor freaked out in the middle of the night and he caused a huge event. I haven't been able to stop having pain since. The nurse here ran and didn't take my safety into account, so I had to deal with him till the security came. I'm just shaking my head at the bone head decisions made tonight.

Liver functions went from high 1000's to mid 400's yesterday. Had my lab taken a short while ago and am hoping it's even lower today.

Well its not just that. Got a paper rejected today that was submitted 6 months ago (and rejected for decent reasons). I'm certainly not proud of anything I've accomplished during my masters and I'm not sure the work I'm doing is going to change. I don't want to be prof. any more and I don't think I'll accomplish anything that would let me do industrial research, so a Ph.D. doesn't help career-wise. I'm also just really sick of the stress and being unhappy.
