The 'What happened to you today' thread

[the Savage Hippie]

Today I put out a fire.

[Jeff]

Probably a good thing, since you were (probably) the one that started it.

[Justice knight]

Blinking typical, I don't hear anything from my friends all weekend when it's nice and sunny. Then this morning, when the rain is bouncing a foot into the air they send me a text to go out.
Says something about teenagers doesn't it?

You bet I were!
I should probably consider emptying my ash tray. I left the cigarette butt in in, while the cigarette was still lit. Luckily I had my window open and it began to smell like smoke, but at first I figured it was just a neighbour who was burning something, then I realized it was coming from just under my window and I put it out. Lol.

Today I jammed out with my mom to some Pink Floyd, specifically The Wall. We're going to a Roger Waters The Wall concert on Friday, so I need to be ready!

I did my good deed for the day: Amazon has a bunch of scam listings for rose seeds from 3rd party sellers (even the ones that aren't rainbowy, blue or black are scam listings--roses just don't work that way, and all but 2 of the results I got on the 1st page are fraudulent), so I talked to a customer service rep to report it. Who knows if it'll actually get them to remove the listings and ban the seller, but if enough people complain, they will, right?

Yay for optimism!

Well this didn’t happen today but a few weeks back.

I was talking with my friend while she was driving and somehow a normal conversation turned into one about sex. She um… offered to um.. Well go there with me. I did not mean to, but I was repulsed and my reaction was instantaneous. “Ew!” She didn’t look all that happy by that .. Immediately I tried to fix things but the damage was done. I haven’t seen her in person since then. If this story doesn’t make any sense to you, I’m a girl. Now don’t get me wrong! I’m not homophobic or anything like that.. As a matter of fact, I’m attracted to both genders, but it all depends on the person and I clearly am not attracted to her.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with that reaction, but that's because sex isn't something that I'd like to come up in day to day conversations. If one of my friends were to bring up that idea, even the girl I like (thank the Nine that I know she wouldn't), I'm pretty sure that my reaction would have been one of disgust as well.

Today I got to come home right after school for the first time in a couple weeks, and can now participate in the RP that I'm in and play videogames, once again, for the first time in weeks.

[Frost Mage]

While, in my opinion, sex should be able to be discussed freely and openly, when two people are mutually interested in the discussion, religion comes first, so do whatever you think is right.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

And I agree with you, Frosty. There's way too much of a taboo on sex in our society, but that's a discussion for another time and topic.

[JVElEven]

And as well, I do agree on that sentiment, even though I'd likely be extremely uncomfortable regardless.

But I digress: Tomorrow I shall be going to see a famous (in Denmark) stand-up comedian.

And today I've spent 5 damn hours editing a movie for media class.

[Justice knight]

Oh yeah I also decided that I'm gonna risk it with my girl problem. So I'm gonna take the plunge when I see her in school tomorrow- wish me luck!

[JVElEven]

Good luck!

What was the issue again? I don't recall it, so maybe you could enlighten me, so I know what I'm wishing good luck for.

[Frost Mage]

Good for you, Justice! But remind me, what was the issue again?

[Justice knight]

Found out today that one of my friends who's a girl could be interested in me. I won't deny that I 'like' her, but I don't know what to do.

There you go and thanks guys for the support.

[JVElEven]

Ah...

That could be a tricky situation. Good luck, truly.

[ZeRoc]

Ah, sweet reverse of my situation of the past 2 months, how I wish I were in your shoes. Instead I'm (possibly permanently) stuck as the guy who's in love with his best friend who is a girl, and she knows it...

[Justice knight]

@JV, thanks I need it.
@Zeroc, trust me you don't want to be in my shoes. Have you thought of seizing the iniative, instead of you waiting for her. Tell her how you feel and see where it goes from there.

Hvem?

Haha, den slags sker! Det kan jeg godt huske fra mediefag. Vi havde et lorte program til rådighed, det var et værre helvede!


Now, about the sex: Well, I have no problem with it either, but I do think that this is perhaps not the best forum to discuss such a topic in. I mean, we have members in all ages and it gets kind of uncomfortable, without it being uncomfortable, if you know what I mean, kind of awkward, like discussing sex with your family members, that is how I feel about it.

[JVElEven]

Hr. Jan Gintberg.

And yes, it is annoying.

We have a nice enough programme, but when we were done, our teacher said that we had to go get two USB thingies ourselves, lest we can't go to exams in it. Would have been bloody nice to know before we were supposed to turn it in, because no one wants to give up their USB for the censor.

Besides, it's like, 6 GB. Its a big film.

[Frost Mage]

Hey, don't sweat it, Justice. Just begin to casually start a conversation with her when the time is right, or if you don't want to be that straight forward about it, just get into the habit of acknowledging her presence, and laughing at her jokes, you know, like you would do with one of your friends.

[the Savage Hippie]

@JV: Nice.
Just make the film into some dreadful format, which will save you space and make it lose quality!

[Justice knight]

@Frosty: That's the thing that makes it difficult Frosty- she's been a good friend for the last three years (since I started secondary school). But you're right, let's see where it goes...

[ZeRoc]

@Zeroc, trust me you don't want to be in my shoes. Have you thought of seizing the iniative, instead of you waiting for her. Tell her how you feel and see where it goes from there.

I've made it veeeery clear to her that I like her. It gets kinda interesting talking to her because it's not like I can come to her for advice on how to impress such and such girl, when she's the girl I want to figure out how to impress. I've even asked her what I can do to make her like me more... she doesn't know what she likes in a guy, but unfortunately as I am, I'm apparently not it... What gets somewhat frustrating is when she starts telling me about the guys that she likes, see: my competition, which is then when I get down in the dumps.

Fun quote from me to her Saturday:
If you like me, you like me
if you don't like me, then I need to try harder.

Feel free to tell me if I've been stealing the show too much when complicated relationships come up.

Hey, don't sweat it, Justice.

That's what I've mainly been doing these days, unfortunately she already knows so being straight forward is kinda... checked off the possibilities list. (I know that it was directed to Justice, just posting my situation.)

[Justice knight]

Oh wow that definatly gets the cake Zeroc...
I feel sorry for you though I've been there with the 'you're just not my kind of guy but him, over there is' situation. You either have to move on, keep waiting (and praying) or be blunt, as in- 'I've liked you for a long time will you be my girlfriend?' -blunt.

[ZeRoc]

I'd move on by now, but my mind won't let me unless someone better comes along, and it's at this point where I don't think that it's quite possible for something better to come along, she's a chick that is in my school theater troupe, watches WWE and plays Halo for goodness sake! All while still acting well within my personal religious standards!
