    yeesh, and I thought I was late on my first kiss

    Ladies have never really taken a liking to me, except that that started changing in June, after I graduated. Even still, I'm kind of stuck in the whole mindset of girls never liking me, so my friends make fun of me about how terrible I am at picking up on signs when girls flirt with me.

    Kinda funny, really.

    Hmm

    2000: played terrible online MUDs
    2001: a space odyssey. 9/11 dramatically changes the trajectory of my life. I work at a natural foods cafe.
    2002: I lose my virginity to a girl with vaginismus. I understand why Franz Kafka regarded sex as God's punishment for being born.
    2003: I manage to alienate myself from literally everyone I know and start high school, but I smoke so I have new friends basically immediately upon starting college.
    2004: A bloo bloo bloo girls don't like me. Oh well I have a 4.00 gpa halfway through college.
    2005: My guild gets a world first in black wing lair. I start a wonderful relationship with a girl who happens to wear an F cup. GPA drops to 3.5
    2006: Girlfriend goes on a trip to italy, comes back and moves in with me, then breaks up with me. I quit playing world of warcraft. GPA increases to 3.72. Puzzle pirates has no negative effect on GPA.
    2007: I graduate college and start working. I move back to the town where I went to high school, which is where my job is. I don't have friends in real life so I play puzzle pirates basically 24/7 while not working.
    2008: I forget to play puzzle pirates, which I guess is like quitting. I complete the quarter century mark on my life and start planning my midlife crisis.
    2009: Work gets insane. I join a labor union and start seeing a psychiatrist for anxiety issues.

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    My first kiss was literally in a truth or dare game in high school. She did it in front of her boyfriend which made it really awkward

    hey dudes can I ask ya'll a question

    how many of your high school friends do you still keep in touch with

    because I basically speak to 10% of my highschool friends still and I've only been out of school for a year

    I fled the country, I don't speak with many people from my high school any more. but 10% seems to be about right

    t knob: fair enough

    edit: fuuuuuck, I almost managed to forget about my time spent playing MUDs... great, now I need to go back to the therapist

    Wait, your dad has an affair and you get mad at your mom?

    Pretty much yes. I know it's weird but I really cannot care at all about my dad's sex life after he's already gotten a divorce. He stayed with a crazy lady for 18 years just so I wouldn't have to live with a separated family. He gets points for this.

    I can understand why you don't get mad at your dad for this. But was she telling you to bad mouth your father or something? I just find it kind of confusing.

    She told me while saying, "I don't want this to ruin your relationship with your dad." So I'm about as confused as you are. It's info I didn't need to know and frankly just don't want to know.

    "Okay mom, was she hot? I'm not sure if i should high five him or not" probably would have been what i said.

    Your life is stranger then mine, not incredibly, but still.

    Also I still keep in touch with a lot of high school friends, some grade school friends as well.

    Pffft, wanna talk about it? Only girls interested in me are around 15-16 years old, because you see, I'm a really small/young-looking guy, so girls my age are all ''daaw hes cute hes like a little brother''

    I vaguely know one person from high school. I've tried to reconnect with others but they more or less actively despise me.

    Also Fedora might have gone to my high school but he didn't confirm/deny

    I asked my dad that very same question. He responded with, "Are you sure you want me to answer that?" I pussied out and decided against it.

    We kinda sit awkwardly for a minute and I just said, "Bitches, man." and he lost it.
