Chat, if you're the kind of person who finds it tough to say no when friends need a favor, don't own a pickup truck.
That is my advice of the day.
Oh God yes, I will never own a pick-up truck.

I've decided that it's time to buy a motorcycle.
Problem is, I can't afford a motorcycle right now. :P But I absolutely can for next season, so here goes a year of paying off as much debt as possible and saving what I can!
Doing some research. What I really want is a Honda ST1300, but $20K is way too much, especially for a first bike, so I'm thinking a used Suzuki V-Strom (Either 650 or 1L), or a used SV650. The V-Strom really appeals to me, especially the touring version with the hard saddlebags.
I want a girlfriend but there is a 120% chance that my first relationship will be a complete disaster that includes a fault line opening up and devouring a moderately sized city.
So I stick with the porno.
In the words of a great movie, you're puttin' the pussy on a pedestal.
Man, now that I know what you look like I care about what you say!
(actually just kidding)
Also it's not that I'm putting anything on a pedestal, it's that I am pretty sure to screw something up that I'm completely new to.
That is often how relationships are.
If you break up, learn from your mistakes and move on.
Nova: For your first bike I've heard that you should just buy something cheap and used because it's not a matter of it but when you are going to drop your bike while you are learning to ride it.

Seriously, I feel I would be that guy.
Although, I've gotten good at not helping everybody who kinda knows someone who knows me with their computer problems. I could probably use the same diversion tactics.

I'd rebut that by saying that if you drive a pickup truck and have friends, you're sort of signing an unwritten social contract that you will help friends move shit. Someone will get all uppity about this and say how wrong I am and that it's nobody's job to feel obligated to help anyone do anything, but fortunately for me we live in the real world where what people expect is a far cry from what is correct.

Exactly. When you get a new game and end up dying in the first level, you don't get depressed for 8 months. You just try again. There's not some big database somewhere that every girl checks, "Oh, Sarksus didn't pull the chair out on the second date, no WAY I'd date that guy!"

So? I screwed up the first time I played a game of starcraft. I screwed up the first time I tried to jump rope. I screwed up the first time I tried to write the paper. Hell, I probably screwed up the first time I tried to pee standing up.
Who gives a fuck?

Yeah, that's a given. I have a lot of friends who ride, a couple who race, so I am constantly exposed to that world. Hell, my dad has owned a Goldwing since I was born. The Goldwing changes every few years, but yeah. (The Aspencade he got a couple seasons ago is probably his last one, though)

But just as a tip, it's actually the third chair from the right on the second date.

Ah lucky. I basically know no one who rides motorcycles so one day when I do get one I'm going to find the junkiest thing I can because god I am going to accidentally ruin that thing for sure.

I helped the majority of my friends from high school move when they went to college, because I have an SUV. I don't keep in touch with any of them any more. The one friend I've known the longest and am still friends with, who I helped move, has also helped me move. That's kind of the metric really, if they help you move too, they're actually your friend.

Almost everyone on earth fucks up their first relationship.

God, I've helped so many people move. I am doing this because one day I will have to move. And I am an English major. And oh my fucking god books are heavy.
Guys, as someone without any experience I am pretty sure I know what I am talking about here.
You could always look for a girl into porno. That's called having something in common that a long lasting relationship can be built on. (Into porno, not in porno.)

Every time I've watched porn with someone the situation escalated into lusty fondling and kissing like 5 minutes later.
Also everyone is speaking the truth to sarksus. No one except me is naturally the perfect date/boyfriend naturally.
Learning by doing!
Edit: haha I have to leave that typo intact
I continue to be a sappy romantic.

You know, I was just looking at my living room, where my new XBox Racing Wheel is sitting and I thought "4 controllers, Rock Band drums, two guitars and the mike. Racing Wheel. I know they never will, but I hope to Christ Microsoft makes at least the specialty controllers compatible with the next XBox."
And if the controllers were compatible, icing on the cake! Ahh, dreams. They only exist to be crushed.

I can honestly say I have more friends whom I've helped move multiple times than friends I've helped move 0-1 times. Trust me, this truck has done it's duty in it's 134,000 miles of life.
Ahh, i'm just griping. I want to get a new car more for the sake of zippiness / quiet / comfort / etc. than the weighty social burden of humping couches around.

Yeah, when I sold my SUV for something fast with double the gas mileage, it only stung a tiny bit losing the cargo capacity.

Dude, it would be the intro cinematic from RB2 but interactive.
THAT WOULD BE FUCKING AWESOME.
Edit: I read that as compatible with each other for some reason ... But anywayi want a steering wheel / guitar band regardless.

This is why I am going to buy me a motorcycle.

Tell them yes, but that they have to pay for gas?
So you can call your friend with a truck when it breaks down instead of vice-versa? Smart!

Took me a while to figure that one out.
No one can ever have a good relationship ever. It's true.
Ah lucky. I basically know no one who rides motorcycles so one day when I do get one I'm going to find the junkiest thing I can because god I am going to accidentally ruin that thing for sure.
I wish you screwed up more at Starcraft.

Or was, technically, what with the being dead and all.
Almost everyone on earth fucks up their first relationship.
I mean, not to dissuade you from the porno.
Hahha
I've never helped a person move in my life.
I have no friends.
Okay, but let me take the computer down to Patty's room first so she'll feel like I'm not neglecting her friendship even though I am.
Every time I've watched porn with someone the situation escalated into lusty fondling and kissing like 5 minutes later.
So I highly recommend watching porn with girls.
I mean besides the piano
And my basement!
Again!
I continue to be a sappy romantic.
