TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Bleh. It was one of those days where I got stuff done, but nothing I really wanted to get done, you know? Plus, I got some brain weaselly thoughts filtering through. Things like Are you really giving Bruce the best life he could have? You're almost 30 and have the dating experience of maybe a high school sophomore; you're not going to find anyone who wants someone like that. The book you're writing will sell 15 copies total. That sort of thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have more dating experience than most sophomores I know, and more than me, a junior. Don't worry about it. And who cares if your book only sells 15 copies. That's 15 more people who's lives you've touched. You deserve to be happy. Prove your brain weasels wrong and succeed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestiv he/him Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 @TwiLyghtSansSparkles you don't need any experience if you meet the right person. You just need to meet a lot of people. Maybe use dating sites to try someone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wanting to for a while, but I don't….well, it'd probably be wrong to say I don't think I can spare the expense for a subscription, because I could, but I'd just rather save that money right now. And I could sign up for a free account and leave it at that, but I've done that before, and they really do hold the best features hostage until you pay. And by "best features" I mean "features that allow you to actually communicate with singles you are interested in." They'll tease you with them, too; one site would tell you when you'd gotten a message, and then blur out all of the words with a note that basically said, "Whoops, too bad you're not a paying member, because if you were, you'd know what this message said! Har har har!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jondesu he/him Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I feel like crem today on so many fronts. In addition to being physically exhausted and my head feeling like it's splitting open (more than usual), my mind is going into overdrive trying to figure out if I ruined a 17 year friendship with a Facebook message that was interpreted wrong, feeling completely inadequate due to my inability to do anything useful around my house (I went to the store briefly, and came back regretting even that much physical activity, and then slept for I think 4 hours), and then having to decide we needed to tell my parents not to come to my son's birthday party tomorrow because my sister (who still lives with them) has the flu. It's the right decision, but I'm simultaneously feeling bad about having to say it, and preparing to haul off and punch my dad in the face if he tries to come anyways, since he's a stubborn chullhat. All that means I've been wiped out physically, mentally, and emotionally all day long, including some tears and a lot of trying to play games to distract myself, with very limited success. Edit: I got a response from my friend who just hadn't had access to Messenger and was very supportive, so no friendship ruined, and my dad didn't try to show up today for the party.

Erunion he/him Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 @TwiLyghtSansSparkles - remember, brain weasels are bad. Don't listen! Bruce is your dog, and you are his human. Are you abusing him (obviously not)? Otherwise the life he has with you is 100% the best life he could have. Can you make his life better? Sure. But only by being happy. You have a dog. Dogs are happiest when you are happy. They can sense/smell/notice human emotions, and they respond. So you want Bruce to be happier? Do what makes you happy. And dating experience? I don't have any. I have 'dated' one person in my life and we were lab partners who transitioned from studying together to being in a relationship. I firmly believe that dating experience is unnecessary (otherwise, I'm hooped!). What matters is making a connection. Get that down, the rest will happen. Dating 'experience' will only help you present a polished, practiced, appealing and fake version of you. That's only useful if you're into one-night stands or short term relationships. What you do need/want is self-confidence/self-esteem, so that you can go out there and meet people. I need it too. There's no easy way to get it though. And I'm not the best one for that advice And Twy? You're writing a book. That's awesome. While you may not like the Sanderson path (a dozen or so unpublished works...), don't freak out about the response to this (your first?). Unless it becomes a best seller. (Which it just might ). In that case, feel free to do happy freak-out dances, or whatever floats your boat . Cheers, and down with the brain weasels! Slay them! Hunt them into oblivion! Make lovely scarves and muffs out of their coats! .... hrmmm, weasels aren't exactly mink, but it's the 'wearing the corpses of our deceased enemy' thing that really matters here. Scare the rest of them off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I write, I go from 'this is a great idea!' to 'this is a piece of [insert appropriate comparion] and about 10* worse than what I would even consider reading.' In other words, I can't help you but I can sympathise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briar King Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I've done that but with my truck bed liner while taking it out to clean the bed. I miss aimed where I was dropping it and the stiff thing somehow met my toenail(I wasn't looking down so don't know how it happened) and curled it upward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemalurgic Headshot he/him Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I once was building a sandbox and while laying the last timber (the last possible time I could injure myself!), I dropped it on my right ring finger! I then spent the next minute running around yelping "ow". That was two months ago. My finger still isn't the same. The fingernail is the worst, and most visible. After I dropped the timber on it, it turned a dark purple, and the rest red. Then the next week the purple had turned blue, the red stayed red, and then the rest turned white. After that, the red and blue turned into purple and faded... you get the picture. The problem was, I had a piano recital the next week, so I was really worried about that. However, the pain had subsided mostly by then, so I was fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
