What's the haps?

[(Tunnels)]

Working on my last project for my last class before I graduate. Its due tomorrow, and once I finish my practicum next month I'll get my Masters in May.

Pretty pumped about this.

I just got matched against a Riot employee in a LoL game. I'm so happy! It was just a random game, never played with a Riot employee before. He was super nice though.

It was Riot Tiza for anyone interested.

I won, I was playing Annie. :D

So, first day off since I started my new position, man I am beat, but I felt it was a rewarding week professionally! Couple of more weeks and I'll (hopefully) have everything moving in a better direction.

Went to Play n Trade and bought some mothafuckin' VIDYA.

275 pound bench press TIMES TWO MOTHER FUCKERS!!!

MY POWER KNOWS NO LIMITS, RAAAAWWWWRRRRRR.

I felt bad though cuz I totally farted on the second press, and it was loud.

[GrimReality]

I got 99 problems and a girl is one.

I couldn't bring myself to call her a bitch. But yeah. Girl problems.

Sorry Dagger.  If it helps, I'm a [self-proclaimed] cool chicka -- I swear they exist (Yoda and Mongoosey can vouch!  ...dunno if Grim would, Mesh would give me a speech about Magnolia Thunderpussy or whatever awesome thing he said that one time)!!  :D
Hope it gets better.

For what it's worth, I DO indeed think you are a COOL chicka. No worries there.
; - )

Beautiful day out! Gardened up a storm, getting things cleaned up and ready for the season.
Tomorrow is supposed to be pretty crappy weather-wise. Cold and snow. Ugh.
I have a bunch of work to do for my class, though, so the bunk weather is a blessing of sorts.
One more class to go and I'll be all done with my Master Gardener training. Then it's on to the work of projects and volunteering. I go from being a "trainee" to an "intern". I haven't been an intern in 18 years! So weird. I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm glad I finally put myself out there and got involved.

Today was my friend's funeral and I just came back from the friends social gathering.
At the service, his brother and mother were good; they were able to give a speech. Me, I had something in my throat the whole time and wouldn't have been able to speak a single word.
At least now it's final.

I'm sorry for your loss, Annubis. :(

I understand about not being able to do something like that. I was asked to carry my Grandpa's coffin at his cremation, but I declined as I thought I would be too distressed. I was right, I was completely shaking and crying, I probably would have dropped him.

[MeshGearFox]

I've gotten exceptionally good at short-circuiting negative emotional responses.

I really, really wish I hadn't.

Thanks folks. Here is the story.

We met online, then hung out once, and talk everyday. I ask her to hang out all the time, but she always says no. She said she likes me, but won't tell me why she doesn't want to hang out. It is just...annoying. I feel insane because I constantly ask her, and she constantly says no, yet I can't quit asking. Some might think it's pathetic, and I wouldn't blame them, but we spent 4 hours sitting and talking on that first date and it just felt awesome to connect to her. She is the first person that I connected with like that in a long time.


In happier news. Me and my roommates signed a lease for a new apartment that is about 450 square feet bigger than our current apartment.

So, yesterday I finished the post-season 4 specials of Doctor Who including the stuff about the origins of 'the drums of war' and the whole 'death knocks four times' thing. This morning the cat wakes me up semi-early in the morning wanting in the house, I let her in and go back to bed and later, right when I start to fall back asleep I'm awakened by THUMP THUMP - THUMP THUMP - THUMP THUMP - THUMP THUMP
I go check to see what the HELL is going on and it turns out that the cat has has her paw stuck under the door of a closet and is pulling on the door trying to get loose in a quite accurate representation of that rhythm.  Funny in retrospect, not so much when you're half asleep and have the fresh memories of the show in your head.

I'm really sorry for your loss, dude.

I would get out, that is the sign of a two-timing chick, dude.

Here is the thought process. She likes you, but there is someone she likes MORE. She wants to see how this other guy turns out. If it turns out to the positive, she will drop you quickly. If it doesn't go well, she still has you to fall back on. The fact that she's being vague and not very forthcoming with any of info of why she is not meeting up with you (and the fact that she keeps saying no yet says she likes you) means that A) she is putting all her effort into this other guy at the moment, or B) she is already in a relationship and trying to salvage it. Either way you are the backup/rebound and you deserve better. Get out, now.

I generally have a two date fail test. If a girl flakes out on me twice in succession without offering a good reason, I drop her like a lead potato.

Hmm, I hadn't thought about the other relationship thing. It makes sense, though. Now I feel even more ridiculous.

[Ashton]

Well don't, lots of guys end up falling into that trap because their feelings are taken advantage of. Just stop contacting her. If she contacts YOU, though, there may be the possibility of salvaging something, but you'd probably need to be extra cautious.

This knowledge of cutthroat dating practices did not come cheap, believe me. :P
