Relatable, my man. Are you friends with this person?

Yeah, he's one of my closer friends I've made since I've moved. :^( He knows I liked him before but the closest I ever got to any confirmation he at least took interest was something i talked about earlier in this thread. He's let me hold his hand twice, and because I liked some cologne he tested he bought it. But I reckon because it was just him and I, considering I'm a girl.

Idk, i'm almost sure he'd pick multiple girls way over me before he even considered dating me. Though, I guess he was like "there's a possibility we could date". I don't have this huge thing for him anymore, but....yeah. Sucks. Just sort of wish I could find someone else i'm interested in that might feel the same way back. Gets way tiring after a while to go after the same person.

Really know how that last bit feels. I'm not over mine, but... What exactly has he said? Have you bluntly asked him out recently?

Nah,I'm pretty sure I'd annoy him by doing that. I want to, but at the same time, I feel weird having to always take the step forward. I did it with my last ex as there would've been no relationship had I not taken the lead.

He's like he "doesn't date people in his race"(which is a little cringy on its own), but explained to me that he meant really ghetto girls, which I'm not. And he emphasized that I'm not part of that. I'm like k then

But this was back in June. After he let me hold his hand again and we went to some fair back in July, things weren't quite the same. So I dunno. /relationship sperging

Pretty sure you should just go in blunt, at this point, dude.
 
I'm trying to make a post to unlock the pm function on this site? This is all very confusing and I haven't used forums in a long ass time.

Its weird how the internet is coalescing around Facebook Twitter google but its good for those of us who are as tech savvy as a 50 year old@19, not that those sites aren't pretty confusing to me too
 
I once heard a middle aged Korean lady describe her black coworkers as "Rambunctious" and as she attempted to describe their behavior without triggering a massive chimp out...
RIP old Korean /pol chum

I can't tell if I've got some derealization/disassociation thing going on, I feel like my current existence doesn't quite seem to be caught up or doesn't fit with the current world. Everything seems to feel like a dream, like my day didn't even happen.

I dunno what brings these dumb things on.
 
I have to put watermarks on all my old magazine scans for my "history" blog because this one time, this one time buzzfeed pretty much lifted an entire blog entry of mine.
 
I saw the Magnificent 7 remake tonight. After a quick trip on TV tropes, I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one who felt the ending ruined the film. The ending of Seven Samurai remains one of the most beautiful endings I have ever seen. The samurai consider themselves losers, the only victors are the farmers who get to keep the land. It really makes you think and shines the heroes in a more heroic light. And it was that attitude that was in the American remake.

This movie ended up being an over glorified revenge fic. That's it. Kambei's analogue wanted revenge all the time, he got it and the group's actions were deemed magnificent. I mean, you can still argue that the villagers are the winners but the ugliness of those final moments just overwhelmed it.

I was really enjoying the movie until that point. Sure, style over substance compared to the original but it still had it's charm. It was funny and the action scenes were cool. But that ending. It just felt like it shat on what made the original so magnificent. I'd probably like it more if I hadn't seen the original... but Jesus Christ. Does Hollywood have no shame when it comes to remaking classics?

I just worked my first 8 hour shift, baby's first lunch break!

Delaware law is awful because in order to earn a 30 minute lunch break you have to work 5 1/2 hours. My employer likes to give newer employees 5 hours to avoid that. Wasnt too bad,but I'm definitely gonna feel it in the morning.

I had oral surgery the middle of last week and even though I finished the steroids yesterday I still feel sick as shit and dizzy and jittery and really don't want to eat even though I already have a bad habit of not eating when I should

I missed my counseling appointment yesterday because I slept in and family took the only car we have without talking to me about if I wanted to go even though they knew I had the appt, leading to the counselor calling me and bringing up this is the 16th appt I've missed since I started seeing her, leading to an embarrassing as hell breakdown over the phone

Even though I have a valid reason for being out of school rn I have three paralegal midterms to do by Monday and I have to come to class to do the ASL midterm since she can't push it back for me. This is on top of the homework I'll need to catch up on.

I keep fucking up the same lines for a play that opens this weekend

I will have zero cash pay after next because of the time I took off from work for surgery /recovery so I'm sure my parents will want me to contribute my entire pay this week towards the house in lieu of that

I want to die


On the plus side, tho, my dog just made a funny noise in his sleep.

Anybody want these massive fggts? They eat all the grass and piss everywhere. I don't even know who they belong to. They're just random strays that have wandered into our yard the past couple of days.

I lost my full-time job today, all due to a stupid mistake. I'm mostly just sad, and worried cos I lost my health insurance, but I'm also in line for a promotion at my part-time job that all of my managers have hinted that I'll probably get, so maybe it won't be so bad? It'll still be part time but I'll get a MAJOR raise and 20-30 hours a week.

Still, that sucks to lose that other job like that. I got fired from a restaurant after a week simply because the owner couldn't stand my inepitude to wash dishes quicker (perhaps I'm getting too old for this s--t). Still looking for a decent job, though it's hard finding one for my artistic talents in this blue collar town. I was thinking of moving up to my sis' place in Wisconsin in case I might turn over a new leaf there.

It just really sucks. My manager and I have known each other a long time, technically longer than I've been with the company because I was a sometimes-customer in the store she started in, so it was really hard. I was only a week or so shy of four years at this place, too.

My main problem is I can't do what I'm trained to do because of my many allergies and some other health issues, so I'm stuck trying to find other things I'm capable of within the beauty industry and it's not easy. If I can get the money scraped together I want to get my cosmetology license reinstated and maybe become a brand educator or something... All I seem to be good at is talking up the things I like, so maybe that's the way to go?
