i recommend learning origami, then making complex designs out of $100 dollar bills. Then burning them. It'll be less expensive in the long run. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Shitty Girl Blog-esque post] + So I was at the bar last night with some friends and there was this cute girl sitting at a booth across from us. I know I'm not going to go up and say anything to her because I'm always worried about coming off as a creep (I'm pretty mediocre at talking to strangers in a public setting). That wasn't a big deal, that's just how I am. Then, a guy from another table goes up and asks her to take a picture of him and his friends at their table. I see this and wonder if this is just a ploy for this guy to start talking to her. Sure enough, after she takes the picture he invites her and her friend to sit at their booth and they start talking. It's not even about the girl, for all I know we had nothing in common, but watching that random guy talk to this random girl and just utilize all the confidence I don't have was painful. I left pretty shortly after. | ||

I wish there was something I could tell you but in truth i probably simply gained any confidence I would have (if my wife and I were ever to divorce or somethibg) from dating her in the first place and earning from there if that makes any sense. Being in a relationship makes one realize how trivial some 'outside of relationship' problems can be and how easily solvable many (but not all) of them are. Good luck bro. | ||

It's a big reason I hate small talk - I just don't care , and pretending to care is fake, and has to be maintained going forward. Fuck that. | ||

And soniv I'll tell you a secret: pretending to care absolutely is and must be maintained throughout a relationship. You think my wife gives any shits at all about my streaming/Casting endeavours? You think I care about everything even coworker said to her today? | ||

Notable for a few things, primarily being asymmetric. The game is played as runner vs corporation, where the corporation is trying to push forward secret agendas and the runner has to hack into their stuff and steal them. Anyways, it was very well recieved but for whatever reason Wizards stopped making it. Recently though, Fantasy Flight Games got the license to make an updated version, called Android:Netrunner and released in their Living Card Game format (you buy "data packs" which contain a preset pool of cards, full playset of each). Anyways, A:NR is pretty cool and you should bully your friends into playing it or play it with me on OCTGN. (one nice side benefit of the corp vs runner thing is you can build a runner and a corp deck and make your friend play one while you play the other) ps owb if you wanna play on octgn some time pm me when | ||

I've been in a couple longer term relationships and I've felt fine but I'm just been single for a while now and it sucks. I'm bad at being single. | ||

I have been in relationships where I do care about what the other has to say. I have no desire to go out of my way to pretend to care about some random stranger in a bar. edit - much of this feeling is probably influenced by the fact that I went to a jock school | ||
