yeah

This would be a lot easier if it weren't long distance (2 hours' drive and I'm presently lacking a license). Bluh. But we're meeting up next in a month in a half. I guess I should be straightforward with her then? I don't know, I've never pulled off a long distance thing before. If any of you know how this one could go, tell me.

@Charles Kinbote: Noted.

Been in a couple, and Viv has a whole blog committed to advice for it.

Long-distance does make it a bit trickier, but yes, thats sounds a good plan to me!

Charles Kinbote

I've been in a couple

don't think I'll be in a long-distance monogamous relationship again unless I'm married

WeedLordVegeta

All you gotta remember is that she's a real person, not text on a screen

picture her tits if that helps

(picture her tits even if it doesn't)

Mortal Sky

I guess this means I'm hitting up Viv's blog.
Thanks for dealing with my clueless 18 year old brain dumpings, SE++. Love you guys.

Henroid

Most important thing is honesty / transparency. Either one of you tries to bullshit anything, big or small, resentment builds up real fast (that is, faster if you were able to see each other just about day to day).

In 2011 I saw four long term friends turn into two relationships. There's a friend zone, but it isn't some permanent thing.

Callius

I'm resolved to actually finish my undergrad this year.

Callius

Friend-zone is the stupidest shit ever.

Callius

As in, people believing it is a "thing" is stupid and fucking sexist and stupid.

I used to say "Oh yeah, friend zone was totally a thing. Then I fought my way out of it, got a girlfriend->fiance->wife, life is good ..."

Aaaaaand then the divorce.

I have no idea what this means for a metaphor, but I hate the notion now.

VoproSTEIN

Just thought of a few more goals I could actually achieve.

1. Build up $5000 in savings for when I move out.
2. Start my work out routine and continue it every night.
3. Cut out soda.

I've already started using my drawing book and it's really hard to learn, but very fun! It will be hard to draw at least 3 hours a day when I'll be at school 12 hours a day from Monday to Friday. Hopefully I don't burn out.

this will *hopefully* be 90% accomplished by Tax Refund + Yearly Bonus.

luckily I'm only about $4k in credit debt (which is what I'm calling Real Debt)

and about $3k in school debt (which I'm not factoring into my 'get out of debt' goal, because I can still write it off for taxes and its "good" debt.)

Callius

I have about $55k in school debt.


... I'm going to cry now.

other goals:

*hit 160 pounds (at 180 right now)

*advance a belt in BJJ

*bring in some revenue on one of my side-ventures.

Callius

I think I'm going to shoot for 125 pounds this year.

MulysaSempronius

Yeah, losing weight may be a thing I want to do
(she said while eating a pumpkin pie covered in whipped heavy cream)

I think I need to find some work-out-type thing to try.

unintentional

i'm at 170lbs and i would like to add muscle but i have no work ethic so hurgh

actually it would legitimately fit into my schedule to work out several times a week this year
does someone potentially want to be my Yell At Me Over The Internet coach

Well, luckily, all of my clothes are falling apart and have holes in them; so it's not like I need to worry about clothing if I put on 5 pounds.

okay as long as you get someone to motivate me to yell at you

I will be taking better care of myself this year, both physically and mentally

Which means learning to say no to stuff when I already have a mountain of things to accomplish

Are you also going to punch Druhim in the gut every few days to reassert your dominance? You must show that you are Alpha or he's just going to walk all over you (and probably pee on your couch).

Yeah, my goal is 160, after that there's no reason to lose anymore weight

going to be doing 3-5 miles per day running outside and crunches/pushups/pullups, and take care of my body by stretching and such

Muse Among Men

Resolutions:

I have $800 on my credit card which isn't really much and I dont feel guilty because I have tried to be careful with it but it saddens me so much. Gotta pay that off!

Get braces Taken off! Then get that jaw MRI afterward.

Decide on where I will attend for my 2d year of college.

Decide where to transfer to.

Nug 5 new cats.

Watch The Wire.

Get to vote for something finally (it took 3 different tries over the course of months to succesfully register to vote).

well i do an hour of kickboxing followed by an hour of BJJ class every Tues., Thurs., Sat.

I'm gonna get a Snap Fitness membership(58% of which will be reimbursed by my health insurance).

So then on Mon. and Wed., I'll be running or lifting at the gym for at least an hour.

So that'll be 5 days a week. With some luck I should hit that goal by Autumn.
