Cmdr. Cracken Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I tend to solo alot, R15. I know, I know! It's an MMO.... but I just like to spend time by myself after work and just grind stuff out. Weird. Bought Tie Fighter. Now I need a flight stick..... probably gonna get the X52 Saitek one in preparation for Star Citizen. EDIT: What the hell, bought X-Wing too.

edlib Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 I've had a couple of promising interactions with somebody on the dating site... though I don't want to spill too much and jinx it. I might be selling off a couple of dad's instruments this week. Mixed feelings about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Happy Halloween, y'all! I have to work late tonight. I imagine that subway ride home after midnight on a Halloween that falls on a Friday night is going to be... interesting. An eyeful, to say the least. I sold a couple of guitars yesterday. Didn't make a huge dent in the pile, but every little bit helps. Now the neatly stacked pile is all over the floor again, and I can barely move around the room. Some problem to have, eh? A phrase I never believed would ever issue from my lips: "I just have too many damn guitars!" I have mixed feelings about this dating site thing... I know this is how it's done these days... but I still can't shake the queasy feeling about the whole thing that kept me from signing up for years. If anything, it's gotten a bit worse now that I'm doing it. But I promised myself I'd try it for at least a month and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 meet anyone interesting off of it? I haven't. The one i was talking to me slammed me for not having a car. and that was that after i explained why and she seemed to understand, then she started talking about her kid, bla bla bla.. just gonna give up on it, focus on school and military stuff. i am still talking to the army chick...i don't know why though..she has a 1 year old, but i'm willing to let that slide considering she's in the military and shares the same values as me. but...i don't know, i'm kind of on the fence of being completely friend-zoned i think. then again, if I don't take chances, i will never A. be happy, or B. learn and grow from it......i want to be happy, but i want to be financially stable as well.. mid-term grades came in...i am c- in forensic science, b in correctional community, a in juvenile delinquency, a in police operations, and c+ in world history. i think i'll be able to bring my grades up to straight A's by the end of the semester. except for forensic science...too many key terms. oh yes one other greatness...my antidepressants ran out, gotta wait for november 5 before i can get a refill. sweet deal.

edlib Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 So far there's been a couple of possible connections. One is a nurse from Plymouth, about my age. Attractive. We have plans to meet up for coffee next week. I like that she has a full-time job, understands wacky schedules, has her own house, and lives in Plymouth, which is a place I'll go every time I get a chance. She kind of the opposite in every way from my ex in those regards. The downsides are it's kinda far for me to travel often, and her schedule is as tough as mine, so there's a good chance we'll never manage to see each other. One is a kinda kinky-seeming college student/ cosplayer from further south than that. Also close to my age. She seems really into me, messaging a lot. We have a lot in common, so that's good. And she's already kinda started the flirty sexy talk a bit. But she has a weird schedule too, is even further away, and she's not someone I'd probably go after outside of this. She not my usual type. Not unattractive, but also not someone I'd probably ever go after in another setting. I'll give it a chance if she still seems interested though. I promised myself that I wouldn't just be shallow and just go after the young hotties, but to give everyone a chance if we seemed to click on some level. I also got a message from a mom nearby in my town this morning too. She's a little bit older than me, but the proximity makes it interesting. Sounds like she has post-college age kids though... which is weird to think about. But so far, other than the one meeting that's tentatively planned, it's all been just chats back and forth.

Keyan Farlander Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Well, you've already had more success with dating sites than I've had with them in five years, so that's...something, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 I guess. There's no guarantee that it will lead to any success... or that I'm not just exposing myself to a 20-mile radius of every psycho stalker with an internet connection. I went in with no expectations of success, and set my standards pretty wide. Ultimately, I'd love to meet a horny 25 year old lingerie model who's dad owns a Lamborghini dealership. But since I'm now a 44 year old schlub who works pretty much every waking hour, looks nothing like Michelangelo's David when I'm naked, and lives with his mom... I actually had to set my sights a bit wider than that. But hey, who knows... life may pull a surprise on me yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Kinnison Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 For the last 3 years on halloween night we have had less then 20 Trick or treaters. I think i found out the problem.On our street almost all of the people are old retired people. Some of them don't even give out candy. A lot of kids don't even bother. I vow next year to put out more decorations... that is if work isn't trying to kill me with all the over time. Too bad, they miss out on full sized candybars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 The weather outside is gross... so I spent the night fixing some of dad's guitars and taking glamor shots of them.

Cmdr. Cracken Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 The cold weather now makes my knee hurt. This is, of course, the knee I injured while playing football earlier this year. So.... still paying for that decision. *sigh* I no longer want to be an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Yeah. This is barely scratching the surface. The 2 blonde Epiphones are the ones I'm thinking of donating to the college for an instrument scholarship in his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Those are some fine looking guitars. I see enough of them in the local pawn shops to recognize the high quality. I no longer want to be an adult. Me, too. I say we skip this level altogether and head for Never-Never Land, where we can be young and have fun forever. Also, Julia Roberts as a fairy is a fine proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 My schedule finally includes a whole day off! Friday the 14th... I'm even working Veteran's Day. Because why not? I'm pretty sure any semi-serious connections I might have made on the dating site are going to get fed up with me long before I ever get a chance to meet any of them in person. Welcome to my life. I knew it was all too good to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 damn, ed... i preordered the Halo Collection. it comes out veteran's day... i chatted face to face with that army girl for about 2 hours today...i don't know if anything will come out of a friendship, but i'll just wait and see...probably gonna get stuck in the friend-zone again. but i'm fine with it. one of my old crushes visited me on OKCupid. i recognized her right away...talk about surprised though...i thought she was engaged or married. guess the guy she was with ended up being a scumbag. hoping she hits me up, but i'm not counting on it...i messaged her though. though she is also one of the first girls i ever asked out, and she friend-zoned me right off the bat, instant rejection. maybe she will come around? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Cracken Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I refuse to even entertain the idea of dating until we and my ex are separated completely.

YOu would be surprised I went on a date with a woman who had a 3 year old daughter, and still had the father living with her. Even better: on our first date she brought the daughter who decided after about 30 minutes to add a lot of drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 One of my hot neighbors still has her ex husband floating around, and another hot neighbor has her ex living with her.
