The Whining and Bitching Thread

I also love being around my son, so I have to play it safe.

As I explained, I analyze everything I do. I think it's important to understand myself.

I agree and do the same thing, but I don't think liking a girl has or needs an explanation. You're just going to psych yourself out.

Using some hidden file method to transfer my ipod library into a new itunes on a new computer. Its taking really long and it makes my vagina hurt...

 

[Einherjar86]

I've had to do that twice. It's a pain in the ass; and the song titles didn't transfer into the files. Sucks.

 

[Vimana]

You're a girl?

 

[Eligos]

I am also intrigued by the vagina comment.

 

[mutantllama]

I am also intrigued by vagina.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

He is male.

I was joking. I actually have a gargantuan uncircumcised penis.

Yeah, so I finish copying all the songs into itunes, finally figure I'm done and disconnect my ipod. Apparently, I didn't actually copy the songs into my comp, so they wont play on itunes. I'm gonna have to re-add them to itunes now. FUCK

So I realized today that I feel kind of embarrassed around my coworkers of a similar age, even though I know I shouldn't. The reason is that they're all (without exception) attending or planning on attending community colleges due to either poor academic records or lack of money or both, while I will be going off to what you could call an elite school. I know that being born into a family of ample means isn't something to be embarrassed about, and I know I shouldn't be embarrassed that I worked reasonably hard in school, but I kind of am. I also find myself being embarrassed that I'm smarter than these people, but I can say without arrogance that I am. The only person there who I can talk to without having to worry that something I say will fly right over their heads is one of my bosses (there's another boss who's reasonably bright but his English is terrible so I have to talk in monosyllables). In high school I thought most of my peers were of slightly-above-average intelligence, but clearly I was wrong...
This is kind of just a rant. I'm looking for you guys to be smart so I can feel more normal. But mostly I can't wait to go back to school and be surrounded by people who can understand my jokes.

 

[divine_torture]

Meh, fuck the dummies. You be all smart with yer fancy book lernin. Teh rest of us ull make it just fine. GIT R DUN!

I used to hang out with some kids from a private school and generally, I found they'd be absolutely bursting to find some reference to something that I wouldn't understand or something, or for me to momentarily slip up on some matter or other. I suppose when you get past all the pomp, all those schools do is make people hyper competitive about every pointless little thing.

 

[cookiecutter]

WAIF if you're smart enough to go to McGill you're smarter than most people. That's just the way it is and your work ethic probably has a lot to do with it.

As for having more means than others, there's also no reason to feel guilty. Yeah you didn't do anything to get that money, but you also didn't choose to have wealthy parents. Just enjoy that you can go to an awesome school in Montreal, work hard, and don't be an asshole.

Upon reflection I've decided that the embarrassment is healthy, if unnecessary. It means I don't feel entitled to that stuff, which is good.

divinetorture seems pissed at me ever since I suggested that dealing heroin and getting in drunken fights at biker bars might not be the healthiest lifestyle, but dude I wasn't saying I'm better than these people, just better off.

I don't want a challenge, I want her to like me.

How old are you again?

 

[waif]

That was a joke. 18.

 

[-CC-]

ok lol, if you were serious I'd have to direct you to the "Most Un-Metal Moment" thread

Listen, to anyone that is too chickenshit to talk to women, there is only one answer: MAN THE FUCK UP, put on a particularly slamming metal song before going out to meet her if that helps, gets the testorene pumping!

Anothing that helps is going to the gym and hitting up the free weights.. it make you more manly and feel more confident

So, some of the people that my old company did business with are just now finding reading my profile on LinkedIn (Facebook for business people) and seeing that I no longer work at said company and are getting bad vibes about said company. Technically, I'm doing independent consulting work for him currently, but I'm not an actual employee of the business and I don't feel I'm obligated to keep up a false facade that the business is stable when, frankly, it isn't at this point.

My post above was actually mocking the other people. I'm not mad, but you seem to have not figured out that I don't actually do any of that anymore. One night, sure. But I actually live a stable, fight/drug/drinking free life. Except one night. On my birthday. I've actually been clean a very long time. Except once. On my birthday. That's the part that irritates me is that you assume it's all the time or something. And I'm not mad. I'd only be mad in person if it went to a certain level that it wouldn't actually reach because communicating in person is much, much easier than this.

Or, in a simpler, shorter way: I did it once on my birthday (not H, mind you), but I am/have been clean for a while and don't fight drink all the time. Actually, outside of some beers at home, I'm sober completely. I'm not mad. I wasn't mocking you. Sweet.

Except that my attraction to her isn't physical in nature (I mean, I am physically attracted to her, but that's not all it is); I genuinely like her, and I can't think of why I should. I wonder if it's that we have so little in common that makes me like her; I had a thought about this earlier and came up with a possible explanation, but I've forgotten it...

Novelty is another important characteristic when it comes to attraction. If nothing else is satisfactory, perhaps this will prove to be an adequate explanation.

As far as reproductive value goes...I've heard some cultures, including Asian ones, view long hair on men as a sign of virility. It would be nice if she shared this view...

DAMN YOU WESTERNIZATION!!! DAMN YOU!!!

I don't want a challenge, I want her to like me.

It's really, really hard for me to explain how to do that. Everyone I know hates how well I can get anyone to like me. It's something I do naturally. It's not 'cause I'm gorgeous, I just always know what to say and when to say it.

Human psychology is more-or-less contagious. Just react to her as if she already likes you, and maybe she'll fall for it.
