Hard to meet people when your costume is a giant tv head
What that's the perfect way to meet people. "Hello have you heard of Saga or flcl?"
If they say no, explain why those things are dope like a big nerdo
If yes, talk about why those things are dope like a big nerdo
Well I'm still really wrestling with whether or not poly is my jam but I'm way less distressed about it. And frankly I'm leaning towards "yeah probably" especially since poly for me includes close non-sexual relationships. Which is pretty common I guess.
A nerd woman at a Halloween thing recently told me I should cosplay as Strike Commander Morrison. I told her I thought cosplay was stupid and then went back to talking to someone about how cool I thought League of Legends was.
You know I could probably come up with a costume or two that made good use of a mannequin, but ultimately I don't think it'd be worth it to have to lug it around everywhere all night.
What are the chances my lawyer is dragging this out for some reason? My ex's friend is a part-timeparalegal, so of course, she's an expert, and she told my wife this lawyer is taking way too long.
The 90 day waiting period or whatever ended last week, my ex said she met with her lawyer, reviewed the settlement proposal and said it looked ok. She says her lawyer sent it back to my lawyer within a day.
That was last Thursday or Friday. Today is Wednesday. No word from my lawyer.
I feel like I have to call him to get any information at all. I think he should be calling me, I'm paying him.
the answer is simple (sadly). If you call them, they get to bill for it in addition to whether they've done the work. They bill in increments of 15 minutes regardless of time actually spent. This burns through your retainer faster so they can begin billing hourly!
Lawyers often bill in tenths of an hour, makes for easy accounting. YMMV.
I woke up this morning thinking "good God I am allergic to something in the air today"
after 10 hours at work alternating between trembling hyperactivity and falling asleep whoops turns out that was the onset of a head cold
but now I'm rugged up on the couch with a hot cider, ginger and lemon so yay

I was out having a couple of beers the other night with a friend and I'm not 100% sure how the subject came about but he informed me that I am, in fact, frightfully awkward. It's been hinted at in the past, too, I guess. (Not with any animosity or anything that I can tell.)
I've never considered myself more socially awkward than any of your bog standard introverts but shit, I guess that's something you'd be kind of oblivious to, wouldn't it? I really can't put my finger on why it's bothering me so much, either. I guess it's just embarrassing? Who knows.
This same friend is having a big hootenanny this weekend and is expecting me to come but this whole thing is making me want to go find a nice, hollow log somewhere deep in the woods to crawl into. The idea of being around people is not appealing right now and I'm thinking I might come down with a bug and go hiking instead.
I had a dude I consider a good friend make me feel similarly super awkward and self conscious a few weeks ago. I'm not quite good enough friends with him to just say "Hey man were you serious about that comment about you made where you teased me about texting this friend of ours who happens to be a very attractive woman, and how you joked about her calling me a stalker? We're too sarcastic and at the risk of sounding like fucking Sheldon fucking Cooper from the stupid awful fucking Big Bang Theory shit show, i can't tell when you're serious and when you're "giving me shit."
There are a lot of things with having friends I just don't get some times. The friendly teasing talking shit thing is one of them.

As a general rule with my good friends, if they think we're close enough to start giving me shit I'm going to reply with made up story about how I shagged their mother.

I was hoping it was the horrors and you were actually an alchoholic ex-sea captain, age 90 all this time

Aaaand apparently in solidarity I woke up with the entire right side of my face in pain and basically unable to breathe.

Usually shuts them up
I don't think I'm quite to the shit talking level with this friend
I mean, I was, a year or so ago, but I've withdrawn lately, I guess. I really isolated myself from people for the last six months of my marriage.
And that didn't work.
I'm kinda reconnecting with this bro, but we weren't that close to begin with, I guess.

I hope he responded with "It's high noon" right before climax.
Because video gamers, as a community, long passed the point of self-parody.
Also, I feel ya on the Halloween date laments. I really like couples costumes and wish I had someone to dress up with.

I bought my tablet specifically so I could read comics, and it did not disappoint.
Yeah it works but my tablet seems kinda slow about it.
