Pointless Announcements
I think you need to have a chat with your roommate about your need to have some private time alone sometimes.
He doesn't need to know why, it is your private time, but you just need t say to him that you won't be able to continue to live with him in a pleasant way and be nice if he doesn't consider you needing personal space a few times a week for a few hours.
It isn't an unreasonable thing to ask for or bring up.
I will get some alone time as of next week, and maybe our schedules will be different next quarter, and I will have some more time alone, but I don't think it's really even him anymore that bothers me. It's just so much of what he does reminds me of who I used to be, and I hate that person now.
Ha! Do you check the weather channel to see how hot or cold it is outside instead of going outside to see how hot or cold it is outside? Thermometers on our TVs, man. What a world. The internet is our secretary.
"You need a coat."
"Stay inside."
"Here's your coffee."
"LIGHTNING!! WATCH OUT FOR THAT SEVERED TREE COMI--"
Oh no! My power went out! What was she trying to--(CRASH!!!) AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
East European Comic Con in Bucharest next March! Yipee!
In Eastern Europe, ComicCon (_blank_).
There's a joke here but I just can't write it. Where's Yakov Smirnoff when I actually need him?
Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
I was a normal guy until you got to know me. I was all Buddhist and shit. I was even a vegan for six months.
So... so hard... and dirty. Hence the disclaimer. She's a whole different kind of "hippy," if ya know what I'm sayin'. The kind that keeps me from noticing she doesn't wear shoes in concerts.
What led you to Buddhism? Are you still Buddhist? If not, what changed? What was it like being vegan? Why did you stop being vegan? Weakness or revaluation of ideals? What was the first non-vegan food you ate?
Also, I know. She's full of the sexy.

Question: Had a fun night dancing and chatting (when we could hear one another) with a friends' friend. He got my number before I left and texted not long after in the same night, said he wanted to hang out soon. Added one another on facebook and haven't heard from him since (concert was Thursday night). Confused..?.

I got a new shirt and Tie, Black and black. But God damn do I look good.
Also realized I might have some strange feelings for one of my friends.
Did laundry today.
Now I am probably going to drink.
All of you people are great.
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy

Today I made pancakes for breakfast, cleaned the bathroom, did my homework and cooked a lamb roast. I am superwife.
I've got stroganoff in the oven and then it's wine, Dexter, then Walking Dead with Giancarlo. No wine for him, though.
Did you give off any sign that you weren't interested?
I get girls numbers and add them on facebook all the time. I almost never follow up after that though. I'm really busy and don't even remotely have time to date someone.
You just have to learn to manage your time. Like the time you spend complaining about not being able to jack off would be enough to maintain like three girlfriends.
Hahaha, no.
Okay, four.
So rude. Sorry I spend so much of my time being an amazing designer. I finished my table this evening and I'm not even gonna show you it. I'm gonna complain about my roommate and not being about to jack off.
21 if we include the time you spend not showing me things.
Looks like somebody's petting a PM.
I don't know what that means and I don't have time to figure it out.
what kind of stroganoff do you make?
Well I'm not gonna explain it, but I know you're busy entertaining your 18 boyfriends.
I actually don't know what to say to that so I think that means you win.
If you meant that, I'm sorry. You have more of a life than me, probably, and I don't really believe you have time to have 4-21 fulfilling relationships.
i have no idea what's going on with you two, but you should post your table, mricpx
Kit, I make a pork stroganoff using cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, white wine & hot buttered egg noodles. It's delicious and very, very unhealthy. My family LOVES it.

No, I was just kidding around, but I haven't slept in like 36 hours, so my sense of humor is pretty messed up by now.
AND fiiiine, I posted a crappy cell pic of the table in the Nov. pic thread.

mm...that does sound delicious but deadly. I've been making this chicken stroganoff recipe, a little lighter than the traditional style, but it's very tasty. the smoked paprika makes all the difference, you can't make it with regular paprika.

Dudes, I'm getting tested for Lupus!
It's either that or polymorphic somthingerother eruption.
Did you give off any sign that you weren't interested?
Not at all. I responded to his text. Maybe I seemed overly enthusiastic? Or maybe he was frightened when he saw that I had kids...? Oh well.

Also, Lucy is rolling across the lounge and it's pretty much the most adorable thing ever. Every now and then she'll turn to me and gummy grin as if "Look at me Mum! I'm so clever!"
Lotsa little revelations + finding out you don't need to believe in a higher being. Also, it teaches all the cool hippie stuff Jesus talked about.
Not really. I still really believe in a lot of the ideas and stuff, but I felt that the competitive side of life is just as important to explore, and Buddhism doesn't dig that.
See above. I was in Rugby and Jiu-Jitsu. Kind of a conflict of interests.
The not eating meat part was easy (not hard to resist), but it took a lot of research to be good at avoiding all animal products...
... which got annoying. Also, a flip in philosophies, accepting my role as a biological product of the universe (coinciding with my choice of remaining competitive). So... both, I guess.
Piiiiizzaaaaa!

While looking for things in my fridge to help keep me awake, I chugged half a bottle of lemonade before realizing that it was mixed pretty heavily with vodka.
Smashed!
My roommate mentioned earlier tonight that he might be moving in with some friends on campus, but isn't sure yet. I think I came off overly happy, but I've been especially nice to him the rest of the night.
It's either that or polymorphic somthingerother eruption.
i feel the need to say it´s never lupus ! but i do not want you to have that other something something either
It's ok Barb, I cracked up laughing when the dermatologist said it could be Lupus.
I hope they figure it out Sarah. I feel like you're having a rough transition into motherhood with all these added health issues. I wish I could rescue you from all these weird skin thingies hehe.
I had a nice lunch with my mom today after visiting a friend. Taking a nice nap, then finished reading my book that arrived yesterday. I wish I didn't have work tomorrow.
Sarah, I hope you find out what it is soon. Lots of love!
PA - On Saturday we took the bus to the little town where Pål Martin's parents live. There were quite some people on the bus already, and then a drunk man showed up. First, he sat down 2 rows in front of us, and I was getting nervous. After a couple minutes of mumbling to himself he started yelling "SHUT UP!" to no one in particular, or perhaps to the voices in his head. He kept looking behind him, and he then moved and sat down on the same row as us. Luckily I was sitting by the window (Pål Martin on the "outside"), but I was getting so scared, and I squeezed the life out of Pål Martin's hand. I was trying to read my book, which didn't work at all, and I was about to cry. The drunk guy kept balling his fist, like he was angry about something, and ready to fight. Pål Martin then moved, so that he was facing me, and I wasn't able to see the drunk guy anymore. After about half an hour, the guy got off the bus, and then I almost started hyperventilating because of all the tension that had been building up inside of me.
I wonder if what happened last week (the angry guy randomly yelling at me) is at all to blame for my reaction, or if I'm just.. messed up. I'm so happy I have Pål Martin.
Imke you poor thing! I'm sure you're still feeling the after effects of the random angry guy on the street, so that experience on the bus must have been doubly traumatic. I'm glad your boyfriend was with you this time. I see people like that on the subway a fair bit, (usually homeless people) and I always try to move as far away from them as possible, it always amazes me that most people can completely ignore a person behaving in that way, especially when they start yelling at people.
Sarah, good luck with the tests, I hope they figure it out soon so you can get off those awful sun allergy causing meds!
I agree with Kit, Imke. Try not to worry about what happened, it's natural that you felt on edge, especially after that prior incident. I promise you'll feel fine again in a week or two. Hugs!
Everything Harriet and Kit said. Imke it's lovely you trust your boyfriend like that. With mine I always worry he's going to say something stupid and make it worse.
I'm glad you're okay Imke.
Taking the bus everywhere I see a lot of crazy people. Most are homeless and can't afford meds for their conditions, or they're just people with really bad addictions. I've learned to smile and make my presence bigger and more positive than their's, when you acknowledge(some, not all) as a fellow human being they take notice and usually calm down. It's scary to do but it really makes a difference. I am still very cautious with who I do this with.
My mom has made over $800 in the last month selling shoes, purses, and beauty appliances she got at yard sales and junk shops on Ebay.
I may have to start prowling around the local thrift stores looking for Ugg boots and barely used hair dryers.
It's good to know I'm not nuts. Thanks, guys. 
I had a dream I fell in love with a girl named lalene. I looked it up this morning and to my surprise it's a real name.
I had... the most... amazing dream last night/this morning that I discovered human flight.
There were a bunch of people on this really steep, grassy hill that led down to a suburban area. I was pissed about something, and I just felt like jumping from the top of this hill, head first, and I suddenly felt like I could push myself up just enough to fly over everyone's heads all the way down, like I was wearing a flying squirrel suit. I was picking up so much speed that at the bottom, I just turned up and was able to keep the speed going while flying straight. Then I just rapidly turned up and sideways a few times to slow down 'til I could then fly straight up with the last bit of inertia and fall ~2 feet for a soft landing. I decided to gain as much speed as I could by dropping from a really tall building, and man... I was going sooo fast. I did the whole Superman thing over the whole city. This was a very newtonian physics-y dream.
I smoked a bit yesterday for the first time in a long time, and as perfect as it fits, I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with the contents of the dream. But it did allow me to dream for the first time in a long time.

Flight dreams are the best. I can't remember the last time I had one.

Oh, I don't need it where I'm going, I'm just really spiteful.
