Pointless Announcements
I'm pushing 8,000 posts.
Yes I did and you scared me.
Go! I missed them this year and they'll probably never come back. Baw.
Having seen, and interviewed, Laibach (using English, German, and Latvian, no less (all broken)), I am duly authorized to point and laugh at Rammstein and/or their fanbase whenever the mood strikes.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Was that when you were on this side of the planet?
It started raining here in Oregon, nothing to great yet but its still nice. I like driving in the rain.
1620 is my number of posts.
Polishing my shoes at work too.

Hollywood and Irvine, CA. Opposite sides of the planet, for sure, but not on that opposite side.

We are already legit, but the site switch fucked up our post counts. Drupal is all these youngins know.
I don't think I lost too many. I believe I remember Frank losing thousands though.
He was never the same after that.
My memory might be exaggerating that. I was like 10. Everything seemed bigger.
Especially his churro.
PA: I just sold my first piece of art. It was a small print of my painting of Champs Elysee, and I only made $4, but STILL!!
I'm going to miss Fano when he's in Chicago prison.
Also, ^5 over your $4. I'm sure it won't be the last.
That's a lot of periods!

Thanks. 
I'm gonna set it aside for bail money.
Okay, so I needed to prop my door open with something but I couldn't find anything heavy or wedge shaped enough, but I had an iron. I took the cord from the iron and tire it around my main door and then tied the other end off in the bathroom. Pretty smart, huh? Anyway I untied the front door but accidentally left the iron tied to the bathroom door, and it looks hilariously creepy. I want my roommate to comeback and think I'm into some really weird kinky shit.
guys, I know I'm really late to this, but I just read all your celebrations to me and you're all the fucking best.
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
also it's awful that I'm posting this after you all said such nice things about me looking out for madeleine, but I just have to vent a little:
I want her to leave the house. I want to be able to hang out in my bed with my boyfriend and her not cockblock every goddamn time. he and I only get to hang out on weekends cause he works every evening during the week. and yeah, we can go to his place usually, but SOMETIMES I want to hang out in my own house and not worry about being quiet if I'm going to have sex or if she's sleeping and we're playing music or talking loudly or something.
I just need some space. it's been like 3 weeks and she's almost always here. usually sleeping.
god this sounds so selfish, I want her to get better. but she's never going to if she doesn't try.

Well you are a really good person and friend Cam and it is not bad or selfish of you to want your own space. And that is a tough situation. especially for someone young like you (I don't mean that offensively, just that you are still in the learning what being a grownup fully entails part of life). It is good that you are there for her but also that you are looking for other people who can be a part of the support.
PA: My house is empty but for me right now and it feels weird. This is usually the loud part of the day. Everyone is off somewhere but me right now. It is quiet and weird.
If I make it to October without killing somebody, I will consider it a great moral victory.
This is why we can't have nice things.
yeah, that's all of us.
Be a little more detailed.
(what's wrong?)

I don't think that's selfish.
But who is this boy? How thoroughly was he vetted? What does he do? Does he come from a good family? Is he awesome?
The only one that really matters is the last one.
I was wondering the same thing.
And ya its not selfish to want to have time for your own life. And shit its Okay to be selfish sometimes if thats what you need.

I'm getting a phone next week.
!!
I've enjyed not having one, i sort of like not being able to be gotten a hold of when I am out, but I've also missed texting terribly and have had many times when having a phone would have made things much more inconvenient (you know how har it is to find a pay phone these days?)
For Tuffy:
(Well, just the the one chorus line)
Played strip poker tonight and got to see a bunch of titties, including hippy hula hoop girls. Sadly nothing happened with her, but I did end up chilling with this really chill cute blonde girl. I got her number, so yay I guess.
Finding it increasingly difficult to remain faithful to someone. I never thought my libido would put up such a fight against the rest of my sense of will (my emotions are weak, but... growing). It's a complicated issue, and most people would tell me to say "fuck it", but... I don't know... I just didn't raise myself to behave that way. And yes, for the most part, I did raise myself. My parents' traditional "love" isn't exactly the ideal to internalize.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Why is Pepper naked? She needs an avatar, it's just not right.
By all of that, I mean there's an amazing girl... but she's going to be 600 miles away for awhile. We're not official, since we only dated for a total of 3 weeks before I left. However, we talk enough for me to know it should be "exculsive". I'm young, and fidelity is something I have extreme trouble with. I've talked about my problems with commitment. I'll never violate the promises I've made, but I've come to understand that the problems I have with promises in general are here to stay for awhile. I need guidance. I'm lost. I'm too old to be so lost, though. I need to stop sucking at this.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
What do you want from the relationship? Do you want to be exclusive? If you do, then it's important to say it out loud - get it established that the two of you are committed to giving time and emotional investment equally in the relationship and not interested in other people.
My advice to guys your age is to date a lot of different women and have lots of different experiences. You will undoubtedly feel as though you've missed out on things if you're "tied down" too early, especially long distance. (Because you will have missed out on things, for sure).
Don't beat yourself up for having conflicting emotions, though.
How much clothing did YOU end up with?
It's hard to not fuck girls. I know.
When is she coming back?
Seconded.
I'm cranky today. Sorry, family.
I have done absolutely nothing productive all day long aside from finishing my "internship" job.
Quoting the Jack White song, I just don't know what to do with myself.
Why does it seem like "lonely" is a character trait of mine, rather than an emotion?
All this didn't really come to a boiling point til I read te rest of your posts here. (what is this, the Buzzkill thread?)

She's really great, but I've met a lot of great girls out here, too. She's also gotten really attached, though, and so was I for awhile. Apparently I was her "third", which was surprising until she told me about her last two boyfriends, one of which she was engaged to. The way they treated her makes me want to find them and beat them half to death. So I'd say it's understandable why she got really attached to me. So it's a lot harder for me to just say, "Hey, it was just bad timing."
When is she coming back?
She's back in El Paso. I only go back on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Yeah, 3 weeks is not enough time to build a relationship strong enough to withstand that amount of time.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
I was trying to pick a new one and the last beer hit me too hard all of a sudden. Decided to save all judgments till they weren't as blurry.
All dressed now.
I like it, Pepper.
Also, I just bought Allspice at the grocery store. What do I do with it? I wanted to get some pumpkin pie spice but it was more than $4 for a teeny weeny canister, so yeah, NO.
Of course I didn't go to Leonard Cohen's concert tonight because I was an idiot and hadn't got a ticket. I seriously hope he doesn't die before he comes back a third time.
It is better to make your own pumpkin pie spice. Tastes better and costs less and you can use the spices for other things because they are not mixed together except the amounts you mix each time.
You want to mix Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg and Cloves. The ginger and cloves are the key two, but be really easy on the cloves at first, they are super easy to over due it with. I mean, if you use a table spoon of Cinnamon you only want an 1/8 teaspoon cloves.
Allspice can be used in everything from soup to pie. I don't use it very often, but it just sort of gives things a bit of a kick I guess.
Hmmmm...that's good info....would I need to grind up the clove?
yeah, you want everything to be ground up.
I like adding a little bit of ground Cardamom to my pumpkin pies too. It gives it a sort of creamy exotic background flavor and, imho, makes the one of the ultimate comfort foods even more so since it is a favoring you would most often find in homemade puddings.
I'm all about mofuggin cardamom.

It's good stuff.
Zachariah's team was smeared across the field today. First loss. They recovered a bit in the last quarter but the final was 40/20 those other bastards. Zach has been rather timid, the coach actually had a talk with us about it. Worry that he is going to get hurt if he isn't bringing it all, hesitation against aggression isn't a good plan. Today it came down in the end to just keeping dignity and not letting the other guys score any more, less than a minute on the clock at the four yard line coach had Zach in and he took down the guy with the ball before he could cross that line. kid was a head and a half bigger than him.
I swear all those boys were a head taller than anyone on his team. I don't think they were really ten year old's at all.
Alecia, I think you ought to have Drew or one of your boys explain the game to you!!! You'd appreciate all that stopping a lot more.
Ten years ago today I fell in love for the first time. It lasted almost five years.
You really should stop obsessing over the past. It's how crazy cat ladies are made.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I just spent two hours with Jack explaining setting your Girlfriend free and if it's meant to be she will come back 
she came home today for the first time since the, trying to make the final decision on breaking it off with him. She put the final dash of salt in the wound. I cried for him and talked, in what seemed like circles, for two hours. I know I can't take this bullet for him, but I sure would in a heartbeat! I'm drained.
Whatever Whore!
Poor Jack.
I'm not obsessing over the past. I'm just good with remembering dates.
How does it feel to not be in love for a change Irina?
Did you receive the congratulatory fruit basket?
