Stavros Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 I've heard good things about methanphetamines, Tom. Could be fun, I'll look into acquiring some. Anyone know any drug dealers in Bristol? You're pretty much the only Bristolian I know/risk being associated with. But yes, alcohol isn't the answer (unless you're me, and you clearly aren't). Definitely exercise and definitely plan out your career options - being around your pals is always a good morale booster too. I've been out for meals and movies with mates the past few nights, it's cool when I'm actually out but it hasn't really helped overall. I just need to take my mind off it really, it'll pass.

dc20willsave Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Take up an online game. Team Fortress 2 is free to play now. It's fun and a great way to kill a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I've been out for meals and movies with mates the past few nights, it's cool when I'm actually out but it hasn't really helped overall. I just need to take my mind off it really, it'll pass. Like you've said, eating healthy and going for walks is what helps you best, so you might as well just do that. It's surprising how easily you can just forget your problems, and they seem so small when you are hanging out with friends, it does just make you realise that it's just something that will pass.

Stavros Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I avoid serious gaming just because that's what I used to do back when I was seriously unhealthy a few years back, a couple of hours turns into a whole day and all of a sudden I felt like I was wasting all my time on it. I'm pretty much dead set against rejoining Warcraft or anything like it. Writings not a bad idea, it is something I like doing. Thanks everyone for the help, I'm really going to try and do something about it all today. It might help if I was mobile, both my bike and my car have been in for repair all week, it's really limiting my options. I'm either walking or bussing it everywhere, and I utterly loath the bus, both because the cost is high and the people are the general public, who I'm not a big fan of. edit: I found myself a project.

Guest Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 No, cute girl at the check out, my name is not "sir". We haven't reached that point in the relationship yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Honestly, I call all customers sir or ma'am, regardless of age but yeah, I can see why that might be disconcerting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 A checkout girl called me sir once and I said I'm not that old yet. She then called me mate, even being Australian that sounded weird. I don't know what I want them to call me, but mate and sir aren't on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Last week I ordered a pizza, and the woman on the other end kept calling me "honey" and "hon." That bothers me more than "sir," because it's too personal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Much less personal in the South. My dad used to call just about every woman "hun". I've had to stop myself from doing it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 That's true. My dad does that too, but I excuse him because he has Southern roots. And thinking about it, if the person has a Southern accent, I do tend to gloss over it when they call me "honey." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 And despite my disdain for being called it by strangers, the other day I did catch myself calling someone at the grocery store honey. The second I did it I wanted to kick myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 My kitchen faucet decided to break at 10:30 at night. I had to turn the main off since there is no cut off valve for it. Fun times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I personally love it when I go to any restaurant and I get a waitress who calls you hon or something along those lines. I like how it makes the eating experience feel a bit more personal. I love my local Taco Bell because there's this woman who's always calling you boss and saying groovy.

JackFetch Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I'm tired of living in a place where everything is closed on Sunday. An emergency comes up and if the part you need isn't at Wal-Mart, then your shit out of luck. Country ass town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 It's one reason I could never move back to the country, I love having the option of Sunday and late night shopping, I couldn't live without it. And to think, the first guy to trade on a Sunday in Melbourne, was jailed for it. And he ran a hardware store! If ever there was a need for Sunday shopping, it's a hardware store!

JackFetch Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Picked up the supply lines today and went to install the new kitchen faucet and of course the supply lines don't fit. At this point I'd normally be punching things but as this is day 4 I just don't have the strength anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 So, I made dinner last night because I figured I'd be nice. I made Seven pieces of Chicken Parmesan, Spaghetti, and bought a loaf of Italian Bread all for me and my two roommates. Both of them eat two pieces last night and I have one since I figure I'll be able to have leftovers for dinner tonight. While I'm at work, I guess they decide to finish off the leftovers since the pan is in the refrigerator and now I have to fucking figure something else to eat tonight. Meanwhile, I'm not going to bother spending money out of my own wallet to be nice since apparently I'm just going to get fucked over for my trouble.

Stavros Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Horrible but vivid nightmare- I was in a bad marriage with two horrible kids on a family holiday. Shudder. edit: My housemate has jokingly pointed out to me that my nightmare is his life. I feel better now. He doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 The first six hours of my day, trying to learn Adobe Premiere: "How in the blue fuck do I do this?" Five minutes ago, when I gave up and tried Windows Movie Maker: "Oh. That's how." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 WMM is great for super-simple things, especially when you don't have a ton of video editing experience. But later, once you've gotten it all down, it becomes the most horribly inadequate and useless program of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Yeah, that's what I keep hearing, but right now, I don't need to do anything fancy. Just cuts and adding music, mostly. If I ever get good at it, I may try Pinnacle or something. Premier is just a resource hog in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
