Random Rants XLIII: So Much Whinging Your Head May Explode

[NickyJ]

Dunno, just find threads where you feel like you can talk about stuff, and then talk about it. If none such exist, create your own (news threads are probably the easiest to create).

If that fails, make hilarious puns, in every single thread.

I'm serious.

Or develop of a rivalry with with Formy and/or Mobby. Do that, and your PC will sprout wings.

play forum games/spam. OR post seriously, but no one except downtown and the moboss formaldehyde shipping does that.

Forum games don't count on PC.

Yeah that stuff is creepy. Better to see if she's playing with her hands or playing with her hair or seeing what her body language around you is like if you're looking for a specific physical sign. People tend to do those sorts of things when they're into another person.

I'm of the opinion that waiting for 'signs' is a waste of time. Problem is, you can never know what's a sign (unless it's really overt) and what's not. It only leads to big-time second guessing and procrastination.


Just ask her and get the pain over with. You could be happy by the answer or sad. But both states are temporary and are preferable to the state of permanent tension and angst caused by your procrastination.

Take it from someone who's been around this block many times. The one time I finally through inhibition to the wind and just asked, it lead to gooooooooooaaaaaaaaaal.\o/

Buy a new series on DVD and watch it whenever you feel worst. That's what works for me.

Oh yes I absolutely agree. Besides your instincts are going to know this stuff one helluva lot better than your rational brain will. I was just saying that if they absolutely must see a sign those things I listed are much better than looking for dilated pupils.

I really need to pick up the pace- it dawned on me that, come January, I'll have spent near on a third off my life a member of this forum (admittedly quite the absentee, other times quite the lurker) and I have very little to show for it.

Most people would draw other conclusions from that.
Like "I've wasted a third of my life on this goddamn place, it's time to change my life", which probably more people would say.

I never even realized my stomach could hold 2 litres of .... fluid, or whatever, but then I managed to puke that up within half an hour

Be happy that you had that in you (not that to had to, for sure).
Vomiting without anything in your stomach is quite painful.

Friends complaining about their 34% tax rate make me feel both old and poor.

That was my initial reaction, but then I decided I liked this place, it's a good form of escapism, I just wasn't doing the whole "interacting with people over the internet" right


Also, I'm not forming any rivalries with any of the titans of arguing their case- it just sounds like a bad idea



"Post count for the sake of post count is an empty phrase. Post Count as a measure of inclusion, post count for the sake of community and friendship; that is the goal I am searching for..."

I figured as much but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to hammer in the point ASK HER OUT ALREADY one more time.

I agree with everything you said on body language.

He just needs to ask her out.

Alternatively, we could use mind probe technology…

it makes you get known, which is the objective.

 

[salty mud]

It also makes you look like a moron. I'm sure that is not the objective.

 

[Takhisis]

Nah, that's subjective.

It's true- if she says yes problem solved, if she says no, that's a perfectly legitimate rant that will garner much genuine sympathy on this thread

It's win-win!

So you either get a girl or get to add to your postcount. Either way, E-peen™ length will increase.

 

[Borachio]

What's "E-peen" length? Is it something rude? I bet it is.

Electronic penis. It's a euphamism for onanistic activities on silly internet forums.

Get a dog. If you have one already, play with the dog.

Loneliness is the human condition. There is no cure.

Doesn't stop anyone enjoying themselves though.
