edlib Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Ain't no party like an XWA party! And for the record... that's my favorite kind of riot. Like this:(This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) (Whacha think I meant you pervs?) (I also love how they refer to her as a "cat enthusiast" as opposed to "bat**** crazy person/animal hoarder"...) 3 days in to June... so far no major crisis to report. Although I do have to be at work tomorrow before 8am... and that's gonna suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 I met those guys. Back in '99, when they were actually somebodies... Somewhere out there in some dusty and dark back corner of the World Wild Web archives, there's a picture of me posing next to the John Lennon Bus with them...

edlib Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Well... I didn't make it through 4 whole days of June completely unscathed by drama. Message from the ex, wanting me to delete some old pic with the both of us in it. I complied, even though I'm really no fan of sanitizing my past... especially that of my online presence. If I were to take every single thing I've ever done that left an online mark that I was the slightest bit unhappy being reminded about or embarrassed by... there would be very little if anything that would escape the Orwellian digital memory hole. My accounts would all show the day I joined, and what I did that day. I really don't like it when I find one of those several-year gaps in my online photo albums where everything that I did or went has no record because of the person I was with no longer wants to admit that they were the one I was with for all those events for that time. I find it kinda jarring... but that's the reality of social-media age, I guess. Work was easy. A lot of talk about dealing with aging people. Things I've thinking about a lot lately.

K_Kinnison Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 To be honest? they can untag themselves. if they don't want it up they shouldn't have allowed it to be uploaded in the first place. there is a thing called public property Fortunately most of my baggage happened before the internet became mainstream and before facebook. All i got now is a ball and chain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 I thought about saying that... but I didn't want the drama to escalate. Or to stretch out the conversation. It was a pic from one of our very first dates, with her and the kids with me at the aquarium. I saved the pic. At least I have a personal record of 2 whole years of my life, even if the public record has been redacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 It was just a picture of you guys at the aquarium and she wanted you to take it down? That's BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 She said seeing it made her sad. Whatever... it wasn't worth the argument. It made me think of this song though: (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) I know it's Joan Baez... but I've always known this version better. But either way, it has everything to do dealing with the bittersweet memories of a failed relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 blarg! Blarg to you, too, human. Ed, can't you just photoshop Charlize Theron's face onto her body and change the kids to ninja turtles?

Cmdr. Cracken Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Oddly enough, two out of my many ex's still speak with me on a semi regular basis, and don't brutally hate me with the fires of Hell. So... that's a thing. Also, I'm not that big on pictures for sentimental value, so I don't have a lot of pics from those days. This annoys my current girlfriend a bit..... :/ Wake for her grandpa and funeral service tomorrow..... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildstar Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I managed to get that Chris Rock line wrong w/o changing the meaning. He actually said, "Girls, if you've been dating a guy for a month and you haven't met any of his friends yet, you are not his girlfriend." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Girls manage to hate me without even dating me. What can I say? I'm just talented that way. Sorry, Cracken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Stay strong Crack. Looks like someone is shooting up Nitro's home town. That's weird news coming out of Canada... I'm sure she'd love to have a friendly relationship with me... but I'm not having it. Something about that whole "flee the country with the kids and lie to me about the reasons for doing so, keep me totally in the dark for a month or so and not communicate with me in any way during that time, break up with me (by email...) from a distance telling me she's never coming back to the states, leaving me to pick up ALL the pieces she left behind (literally...) and inform her family that she's supposedly gone for good, and then learn about a month after that from a post by her mom on Facebook that she got married in Mexico and has never been happier" thing that went down between us kinda really rubbed me the wrong way... in a lot of ways. She still tests the waters every 6 months or so. I think this was just one of those attempts to wrap me up in conversation. I'm not ready for that. I probably will never be. I'm technically still on some kind of speaking terms with a number of women I went for who didn't want anything to do with me in that way... though I mostly avoid all contact with all of them, I didn't cut them totally out of my life, at least digitally in the social-media sense... and I'll still be civil if I see them on the subway or in the street... but only because I didn't want to give them any sense about how much it stung to be shot down by them. Stupid reason I know... but it's all I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildstar Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Managed to forget this... Projected year-end post count after May: 2,323 Isn't the record for these threads something like 2,500? EDIT: Thought to look for the old threads, but didn't see at first that they now have their own archive section. The record is 3,482 posts in 2009.

Cmdr. Cracken Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 What in God's name happened on '09 that made us post so much? Were our lives that much more interesting? Also; Happy 30th to Tetris!!!!

edlib Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Or maybe we all had NOTHING going on... so there was a LOT more time on all of our hands... I believe that were more of us regularly posting back then, all taking that "post something new each and every day" thing seriously too. At least, speaking for myself, that would hold true... http://www.lucasforums.com/misc.php?do=whoposted&t=194870 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 2009 was the worst year ever for me (2013 may have eclipsed it, and 2014 is looking to claim the title), so I might have had more to say that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Spent the morning/ early afternoon scrubbing the crap out of the stove/ oven. It's been a long time since the stove top was really cleaned well, rather than wiped down... and as far as the oven goes... when did I move in here? 2001? Well... it was pretty dirty when I moved in, and I have no memory of ever cleaning it thoroughly. I tried the auto cleaning cycle on it once... but it got 120 degrees in the kitchen, and it stunk the house out, so I canceled that and never tried it again. Took a walk after that. Not a long one, as that wore me down pretty good... but the stove looks better than I've ever seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildstar Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 2009 was the end of my first winter season back in bowling, but nothing too special happened. I wouldn't have my high sanctioned game and series ever until the following calendar year. It was also my 25th reunion year, and that event is now one of my favorites in my life.
