With all this talk of Cadbury creme eggs, fun (not fun) fact is that I actually grew up in Bournville, Birmingham - home of the very Cadbury factory that makes said chocolate. Let me tell you the smell of chocolate wafting across the schoolyard every day was delicious torture.
Woah, woah, woah there! I worked for London Underground for nearly 5 years and I won't stand for any of that sass-mouth when it comes to the Underground. Considering its construction history (because yeah, having a bunch of competing companies building separate sections of the network over different time periods was never going to be problematic for providing a unified service long-term!) and general age (being started at a time when not two fucks were given about such things as future capacity or disabled access because...well...you know...Britain! :rotate:) it's done an admirable job to even still be (mostly) functional.
That and the fact that moving away from London really made me miss having any kind of metro network for the day to day commute. Although, admittedly that was before I learned to drive, so nowadays I'm admittedly somewhat less....invested in public transport generally.
The central line is hotter than the core of the sun though
I've got that date tonight but the girl's gotta drive a bit to get to me and the road conditions are nasty and only gonna get worse
Trying to find out if we gotta postpone
Today I learned that there is word in Italian that is very close to the word for having a big dick (edit: similar to calzone). Thank you housemate for correcting my pronunciation.
I'm back on the old website as the last romantic entanglement is game over now
Listening to Fleetwood Mac. They're always good for when things end, reminds you that it could be worse, tomorrow morning you could have to go and record a world-class album/take a boatload of cocaine with the person you just broke up with

I don't know how I feel about this lady. We've been seeing each other for a few months now and I dunno if I'm feeling any kinda connection. Like, I'm in to her, and she's really in to me, but I'm just having doubts and shit.
beautiful opera girl is talking to me about kissing chris hemsworth and dating real people I can't take thiiiiiis
Not that I'm wanting to wee on your bonfire, so to speak
But you're clearly into this girl, and from what you've said you're not thinking she's into you?
Just don't want you to hurt yourself by not being able to move past that stage of things because you see each other often, is all
I know, I know, I know. I'm not acting in a particularly healthy or reasonable way, but at the same time it's really nice to have a crush because I haven't had a proper crush like this since, I dunno, I first started dating my ex-fiance? And I'm in a pretty poor position to actually date, so it's just... nice to dream?
But I guess we're doing brunch tomorrow so shit I gotta stop doing this to myself.

I know how you feel, like you go on dates with people and it's nice, but having a proper crush crush and going on dates with them? That's different, and more exciting, and you feel like you've clicked with someone and you want to make it work out
Well, having just broken up with someone and feeling pretty shit about it (carefully sent a message talking about it, asking her if she wanted to meet and talk about it in person, no response all day, definitely an "ouch" moment), I would advise caution
But then I'm in that sort of mood, and not my usual safe
Fear makes your sharp, mind. And sharp is good. Trust your instincts!
there's nothing wrong with just enjoying being with someone. a relationship doesn't have to be the main focus or fulfilment in life, or lengthy, to be meaningful.
infatuation doesn't last particularly long, but having a place for that other person in your life can be satisfying beyond that initial rush.
it's up to you whether that means romantic or platonic.
oops, heh. that was actually directed at @Oghulk, but it equally applied to Rainfall, i guess.
like, i am still lonely -- i miss having family and friends near at hand, and i have various issues as stumbling blocks to making new friendships. i feel isolated.
but that is separate from my feelings about my partner. i don't expect that he is going to fulfill all my needs, though that relationship is important to me and does tick a lot of my boxes for 'fulfilling (romantic/sexual) relationship.' he helps me forget that i am lonely, but i need more people to interact with to feel whole. i'm an extrovert!
all that is to say, our relationship doesn't resolve my problems. we support each other, and we're quite compatible in our strengths compensating for each other, but our individual problems don't disappear just 'cause we have a helpmeet. nor do our separate interests and priorities!
just a reminder. "Like, I'm in to her, and she's really in to me, but I'm just having doubts and shit." this is normal!
Yeah I decided to start talking to her about her welding artwork and I think the bigger thing was maybe that we weren't talking about more in-depth stuff as much as I'd like, and a big part of that is me not wanting to come off too...elitist? It's hard to explain, but like she considers me an 'intellectual' and I don't know how to wrap my mind around that.

The Low-Cal Calthzone Zone
"grande cazzo" seems like it would be big dick, but I am probably wrong.
"Cazzone" is the augmentative of "cazzo" (an augmentative is the opposite of a diminuitive)
For comparison, augmentatives in English are created with prefixes such as over-, grand-, super-, mega-
But
It does annoy me that it includes pretty stupid things as "common interests"
Like, being the same ethnicity for one. What's that all about? That's not a common interest.
I mean, it is for racists.

TUSK!
But then again, so am I!

I just feel very...distant? isolated? lately and focused on all kinds of other things

I just don't want you to hurt yourself I suppose.
Ugh I really should, shouldn't I.
But I know it’s also terrifying, so good luck!!!

Know exactly what you mean
And if you're anything like me, then you don't want to break things off because it feels shitty
But at the same time, from past experience, it hurts more the longer you leave it
