    Feelings a little lonely tonight, maybe

    Which I also kind of feel bad for in a weird way. Like, I had a gf and I broke up with her, do I get to feel lonely? I mean, that doesn't change how I feel, but I'm less comfortable feeling it (in a paradoxical kind of way)

    Also, if someone invites you to an orgy without ever having met you in person or even seen a picture of you, I feel safe saying you can lower your expectations for the other orgyists quite a bit.

    This is my actual problem with orgies. I kind of want to vet people I'm going to be that intimate with. But i also kind of hate the "Me and my lovers would like to take you to a get to know you brunch".

    I don't wanna find out one of the dudes there is a gun-toting Trump supporter really into interraccial cuckholdin'
    like uhhh, hard paaaaaasssss

    Man, I didn't even think of that last part

    that sounds awkward

    also now I'm thinking about the typical assumption of asian women being meek and submissive and oh no oh noooo

    I mean, that's why I'd prefer an orgy to be an event with my friends

    Like, let's all get drunk and just, you know, fuck

    But that's just friendship with me on a larger scale, I guess, as that's definitely already happened with some of my friends

    Oh man this. I've had nights where I was going out just to be social and so people wouldn't forget who I was. Then it gets cancelled and oh man, its just great. That big sigh of relief and sinking into the couch with a cold beer in hand.

    Some peeps were coming over to watch spooky movies and then someone had to back out and it kind of dominoed from there, so instead of having to clean up and entertain I can just have a beer and not give a hell

    This seems like a neat idea.

    I really like this part
    What do you have to say about love that differs from advice reality-TV matchmakers give?
    Our culture is built on selling things, and I think the way that you sell things is to make people feel bad about themselves. It's really hard on us. I don't know how anyone is getting out of bed in the morning. You watch reality TV and all the women have blond hair, their skin is the same color, and their teeth are so white. It gives you this idea that love is for other people. But what I've found through doing this for a while is the people who are the most successful are not the people who are doing anything to make themselves homogeneous. They are clear about who they are and align who they are internally with their visual representation of themselves. If everyone is trying to be someone else, it doesn't feel special. I'd rather be one person's favorite person than everyone's passively fine person.

    Actually it took me this long to make a note about it. Up until now your file was simply "Actor; probably complains about lighting frequently, claiming that cool color washes make his skin look too porous"

    it would be pretty fun if everyone was on drugs i feel like

    if i wasn't on drugs i dunno that i would enjoy it

    That sounds even worse than regular orgy.

    No such thing. You can be too forward certainly, but being entirely genuine should be everyone's ideal. Fakeness is not an attractive quality.

    Had a brief chat to someone I'd been seeing about not really wanting anything long term.
    I'm super glad we turned out to be on the same page there because it is fun right now but I definitely don't see it lasting.
    So I feel less like a bad person now which is good.

    I won't bore y'all with the same sad song, but I'm having a tough time getting things figured out

    A close friendship feels very strained, but I'm such a mess I don't even know how to talk about it, and I think it's my fault

    And I have the least amount of friends I've ever had. I have my brother, and three bros who are like brothers to me, but all four of them live hours away

    And a couple maybe three ish close friends who are female, but all of them feel awkward since my divorce

    I was very close with my in-laws
    I feel like I lost a brother and two sisters

    And two very close friends who were brothers to me chose my ex wife's side

    And in trying to figure new friends out, and I'm struggling

    And I don't know how much of it is legit concerns vs how much of it is maybe I should get my family doctor to refer me to a therapist or something

    I went out with a lady I chatted with online for drinks earlier this week and we went back to my place and fooled around and she was uh...kinda super aggressive and escalated things to a degree I was not expecting. Like, I was expecting to bone down but she brought in a bunch of intense shit I wasn't expecting nor super into so I tried to roll with it but it was a little weird.

    Then yesterday she sent me a friend request and I accepted to find she is listed as being in a relationship

    I asked and she said she just forgot to change it

    only she still hasn't changed it today

    and the dude who was in her previous profile pictures posted on her feed as soon as last week and is still friends with her

    so uh

    that's neat

    In your position, I would be trying to move.

    Come to think of it, my go to solution to everything appears to be "move to another country".

    I know your sort of stuck until the divorce is final, but figuring out a new horizon would certainly give you something to work on and look forward to, and it's the kind of thing you can prepare for without drastically impacting your day to day life.

    So the paralegal handling the divorce reached out to me to finalize some documents that I had sent to her like a month or two ago. In the process, she mentioned that she hadn't gotten my ex's side of the information from her yet. I know there are two months left before the court can take up our case, but I'm kind of more than a little upset about that. She hasn't shown one ounce of urgency about this entire process, just does fuck all.

    There's no way I could move, bub

    I'll soon have figured out a new budget, and now when I can move out if my parents', but I can't leave my job. Too many things are dependent on that pay rate.

    Tonight I went to an extended family party for my one-year-old niece.

    The kids were getting rowdy after a while, so my brother and I decided to set up a game of prune juice pong for them, because we're hilarious and awful.

    Jokes on us though, as they smashed us and we downed 6 cups each.
