Okay good night [chat]
Thank you all for being you, and for being a place that is so constant and so consistent in it's welcoming warmth and familiarity and otherwise being a source for some sort of "normalcy" (a word applied to you wierdos very loosely :razz: ) in a life that can so often be so far from normal
hmm, so, I suggested to a friend that she might buy the kind of massage device I use to deal with my FM...and, well, it's actually a "massage" device, though that's not what I use it for and wasn't suggesting that she use it for and she totally hasn't answered me...I'm wondering if I crossed a line *innocent smile*
trust me when I say, guys
telling a lady she is pretty on the subway is pretty much never going to go your way
that really terribad song about the pretty girl on the subway has really made this a surprisingly murky social thing or something
but basically don't talk to her because you think she's "pretty"
If you HAVE to talk to her, comment on the book she's reading or on something she did that was her CHOICE (funny shirt, cool shoes, whatevs.)
And fucking accept it if that's the end of the conversation
it's
it is really fucking awful to have to deflect someone's unwelcome attention on the subway
you are interfering with her ability to get home safely and not feeling like she's about to be stalked on her way home

alright
i wrote my job description for my talk w/ my boss tomorrow
i am clearly basically the right hand of a sr director and a vp. i deserve monies.
my old job description could've been done by a monkey... yet still required 3 years of experience i didn't have. job experience requirements are shitty.
I can't get the dollar bill bottle opener trick to work.
I feel like I am less a man today.
Is that where you tip the barkeep an extra dollar to open your beer?
It's where you fold a dollar bill in half, roll it up, fold it in half again, and then use the tightly wound bill to shove the cap off. I can't get it to work.
I have to stop myself sometimes because I know that while I am genuinely interested and appreciative of some random lady's knit hat/scarf/sweater and I want to talk about it, I am also a big dude with a beard and therefore can be scary.
So I just keep my mouth shut.

Like I can't even muster up the sheer arrogance to disrupt a stranger on the subway when we have clearly compatible things to talk about
Like today there was a guy next to me on his 3DS and I wanted to be liek OMG WUT R U PLAYIN I HAV ONE TOO
and on the way out I saw he was playing Fire Emblem and I wanted even more to be liek AHHHHHHHHH BRO WE ARE FIRE EMBLEM BROS THX FOR THE SPOTPASS
But I didnt because that would be weird and violating leave people the fuck alone on the subway the end
i feel like there is a way to tell a stranger that she is beautiful without being creepy
maybe don't stare at her and try to touch her hand, first of all
also, say it in a business-like fashion, nod firmly, and then continue on your way after saying it
of course then your intent would actually have to be a compliment, rather than some kind of fantasized transaction wherein you offer a compliment and she falls into your lap with an amorous gasp in exchange
Just do what I do
say it really gay
"ooooh my gaaawd, yur hair is so purdy"
Boom, no threat, no sexual aggression, just a compliment

One time a dude with clear mental issues (not like, crazy person, but some kind of deficiency) talked to me on a train
He sat opposite me and I was willing to give him a minute or two
but he kept trying to, like, touch me? My hand, like he was constantly going for a handshake
and then he said "what's wrong with your face" (I was having a minor breakout) and that was enough for me to just tell him to walk away and go back to my iPod
he said sorry, got up, said sorry, started walking down the aisle, said sorry
all in this plaintive kind of tone
I wasn't sure if I was the monster all along after that

of course you did *sighs knowingly*
Also good advice if you don't want to break your dick.

they're so awfully heavy
I occasionally get incredibly high people who want to talk to me because I have neon hair which is, yes, at times a conversation starter
I also have clients who come into the shop when they are entirely too high for reality
it is the absolute worst

curse these atrophied muscles
jk i'll never talk to you because i know guys are shitty to you but if i did i'd say respectful human things i'd say to either gender
That's what the "somea" is about. You gotta be subtle sometimes when space whoring. You know, quiet. So you don't interrupt the performance. Or mass.

It is scary to be supporting us and a cat
I want to pull him aside and be like

this is maybe the grossest thing you've done all week, and I'm including the fact that you probably clipped your toenails at the dinner table
I picked my lady up by having the creepiest okcupid picture on the internet than pushing her into a street lamp first date

That's not really a binary

don't worry there's plenty of lonely gays!
