Not-so-good-and-old "How do you feel" thread

[Dark_Jester]

Pffffffft, I waited here for half an hour for a stinking pineapple? Get my people to call your people, I'm on strike

 

[Malaclypse]

my sister is in hospital and already has her appendix removed by now. but everything went well it seems, she was already singing carnival songs again under the wearing-off influence of the anesthetics

 

[hyena]

@vc: best of luck to her. i'm sorry about the carnival songs tho.

@fireangel: he dumped his girlfriend, for starters (huge starters). as for the harem syndrome, his so-called harem is mainly made of girls who are engaged to other men and wouldn't leave them for him. although i wanted to make this clear, i'm not ready to rule out the fact that he has no romantic interest in me. i think i'm declaring war on stupidity, hence this shall not be - i'm not saying that not having romantic interest in me is stupid, be warned, just that he's not going to keep me waiting forever. i estimate 3 to 5 months before the situation is solved, for better or worse.

fireangel: Good luck miss.


VC: Say hi to your sister for me

and that I hope she feels better soon.

 

[Dark_Jester]

VC: Glad to hear your sister is alright, send her my regards

Uh, I keep reading everything here, but that fact I must have missed The last thing I got was from rahvin´s huge report. Now that is not bad news

as for the harem syndrome, his so-called harem is mainly made of girls who are engaged to other men and wouldn't leave them for him. although i wanted to make this clear, i'm not ready to rule out the fact that he has no romantic interest in me. i think i'm declaring war on stupidity, hence this shall not be - i'm not saying that not having romantic interest in me is stupid, be warned, just that he's not going to keep me waiting forever. i estimate 3 to 5 months before the situation is solved, for better or worse.

I did not call it that way, and well, I´ve seen it mostly on guys, tho. And I did not say at all he would not have romantic interest. I just drew some conclusions from that report and I just seen it happen couple of times that those guys of course enjoy interests from all sides. But I am anyways too far in order to make precise statements here.

to MagSec: thank you!

maybe we tend to see it more in people belonging to the opposite gender, as we usually pay more attention to them. and the social bias against girls being overly flirty with many people is still stronger: they are easily labeled as women of questionable morality, while their male counterpart is sometimes even praised for its sexual drive.
for the case in point, i don't think mr. r is particularly lascivious or sleazy or, well, horny. he finds security in the arms of girls, and the variety and apparent interchangeability of them makes him feel reassured that he lives in a cocoon of affectionate appreciation surrounding him from all sides. it's definitely not what i would do if i were in a relationship, or even if i weren't (superficial sharing leaves me wondering whether there's something deeper behind or if all involved parties are in fact exactly as lonely and separated from each other as before, and deluding themselves), but i can also understand the need for such a cocoon, and how maybe when you're 39 and you haven't focused on anyone yet it's hard to pick and choose. i just hope someone shoots me before i start dating an american cook i don't even like.

@VC: Well, at least she's feeling better. Give her my regards in any case. And heck, carnival songs are nothing. I had my wisdom teeth removed, and kept feeling like I had to scratch myself cause of the anesthetics . They also freaked when I started coming back out before the operation was over. hehe.

@rahvin: you know, this is becoming a frequent conclusion. my friend fabrizio once asked me to shoot him if he started dating fat american cooks. i have an agenda. and i don't envy the next guy who happens to go out with evil incarnate, i'll probably have to shoot him.

moreover, i think your analysis is strikingly accurate.

i keep on questioning my friends about the possible duration of the standoff. i got replies that vary from 1 week to months, covering all the range. i have got a feeling that aeons would be needed for the explaining part only, but my mind is formulating silly plans by the minute.

take this: my friend livio is going to stay in some small town 4hrs from here in the next two weeks. i have told him that i'll go visit him (which is actually true) in the weekend following this one, but now my car has no licence plate and i definitely can't take long drives all over the country since i have papers stating explicitely that the police report does not substitute the missing plate. given how i was finding it a bit stupid to leave home for yet another weekend now that the target is in sight, i am thinking that i should mention the trip to him and see if he offers to come along.

blessed be wishful thinking.

Mightn't (now, there's a contraction for you) he think he would be intruding to offer? Perhaps you should wring your hands to him about the situation, then conveniently have a "lightbulb moment" and ask him to join you?

 

[hyena]

@lina: you're just great. actually, that's a great idea. the only problem with it is that when reflecting upon the reasons why he may suspect me of having weak character (which is definitely not me) i concluded that maybe the constant leaning on him might have played a role. i probably overdid it because in the past i've been told that i failed to interest some men i liked because i didn't look helpless enough. so i resolved to stop with the helplessness for a while - unfortunately this also covers asking him for a ride because i'm too stupid to keep track of my licence plate.

moreover, he would see through me the moment i simulate the lightbulb moment, making me look even stupider. hehe.

keeps the suggestions coming tho. i love your way of thinking.

 

[Dark_Jester]

Nothin' like wimmen for the subtle manipulations of us impressionable malez...

 

[rahvin]

@hyena: you can appear slightly less weak if you approach him thus: "someone stole my car's plate and until i find the culprit i'm taking it out on you, so move your ass over here and take me to my friend livio this week-end. i don't want to hear any excuse. where were you on the night when my plate was stolen? i remember you left early from daniela's place, and you certainly were not with heather afterwards. how convenient. i'm sure the police will be interested."

 

[hyena]

yeah. and then he admitted to having lost his licence plate (@everyone: it's not a common national habit, relax) in front of 10 people. that was a stupid move, because now we have a motive, and he hasn't got no alibi. :Smug:

 

[fireangel]

hyena: maybe there came slight misunderstanding from that of mine sentence: "without that he needs to reply them and you are still there. " So I did not mean he doesn´t, but there is the possibility of this happening. (now in the past, that the evil is away; I wrote under different circumstances)
Or maybe I just can´t explain it right



MagSec: Do yo have any news for me about the lovely COB without that I need to read all this *LOLOLOLL!!!*-posts over there?

 

[rahvin]

(@everyone: it's not a common national habit, relax)

yeah. for instance, i never lost mine. although a former girlfriend threw hers into a garbage bin around christmas of a few years ago. *shrugs* i assure you that no, i don't just date idiots if i can help it.

 

[hyena]

hey, fire, don't put yourself down. i did understand what you meant. your input is much appreciated even if i don't always show it, but then again, everyone by now knows that i'm utter shit at expressing my feelings in a comprehensible way.

[Malaclypse]
