I keep making threads, then deleting them

[Dorothy Wood]

in this one, I was going to tell you all about how I lost 10 pounds without trying. I believe it's because I stopped drinking soda pop.

borrring.

[TurdBerglar]

so is this a deleted thread or not


is this some weird deleted thread limbo world now?

[Bob]

from now on when people are about to post a thread and decide against it at the last moment they should just post the idea here

[Audio.]

wouldn't it be nice to have a save draft feature?

Are all dudes into lesbians? Ya know, in that "lipstick lesbian," hot girls touching eachother sense? My boyfriend seems to think that seemingly straight guys who aren't attracted to lesbians are secretly gay...I didn't agree with him, but I'm not, ya know, a dude...so it's hard for me to know.

I'm sure turd will have something insightful to contribute on this matter.

Last month, I was going to make a thread about how I was so stressed out that I gave myself a instant nosebleed and then I also saw blood in my stool.

But I didn't.

I didn't go to the doctor either.

I'm fine now though, thanks for asking!!

lmao that' cat is twisted all up lovemaster

[TurdBerglar]

seeing girls touching each other is a turn on

it's like seeing two things you want to fuck fucking each other


it's like fucking squared or something

[jabumbo]

so what is the square root of two girls touching each other?

I was going to make a thread about breakfast cereal but I didn't.

Over the last few years I've come to post a lot less often than I did in the past. Most of it has to do with becoming a busy, active person, and having less free time to just sit and be bored. But I start and delete threads and posts all the time. I'll compose something big and sweeping, then just as I'm about to click "submit," I change my mind and decide not to say it. I just don't share as much as I used to when I was a stupid kid. I'm sure some of it had to do with breaking up with boomin' and all (fyi it was about two years ago for anyone that's curious), just not feeling like coming around here for a while when that was all going down.

It's funny how many people I know that had that same experience - meeting someone young, settling down too young, and not really knowing who you are yet. And because you think that's what you're supposed to do when you find someone you like, you stay with that person when you really should be alone figuring out who you are as an adult. And then it comes to a point where you realize you have to be alone. It wasn't a nasty breakup or anything, just hard to do because you get to be best friends with someone after all those years. And when it's time to move on, it's so hard to cut those ties. Then being on your own, really alone, for the first time as an adult, is scary as shit. I didn't handle it very well for a while there. But I got what I needed to get out of my system and found that I was comfortable being on my own and liked the person I had become.

(Addendum: Matt's a great guy and I'm glad we were able to make it as friends through the whole thing. I honestly do wish him the best.)

I've grown a lot since those younger days of being all up in this bitch, and am a much happier person. I'm glad this board's here, because it's brought some really amazing people into my life. Echewta and Barb especially, you two rule and thanks for being so awesome.

In a way I guess I'm saying this place has been pretty influential in some serious aspects of my life, for better or worse. I have to say, though, I'm really satisfied with where it's ended up thus far, so I'm glad I registered and typed away all those years ago.




INTERNET!

[Randetica]

im bit of a guys magnet lately (y) no clue why :confused:

[Dorothy Wood]

cosmo, (y)

here's a thread I almost just made:

I consider myself pretty independent, but this weekend I feel like allowing yourself to depend on others sometimes is kinda okay.

My gentleman friend had a show out of town on saturday, and gathered some people to travel there. Before the weekend, I got really nervous about riding in a car driven by a crazy drug addict (a friend of the boyf's since college...but that's another story), and about hanging out with so many people I didn't know. Actually, I was extremely nervous, so I decided to rent a car so I could have some control over the situation, and so more people could go.

Anyway, I wasn't feeling very social, and I almost had a panic attack at the actual place when we got there because I didn't know anybody but my boyfriend, and when he was setting up his gear, I just kind of looked at him like he was a character or a stranger. and I felt really out of place.

I didn't panic though, I just pounded a couple beers and did some deep breathing in a corner by myself.

and I thought about how much less stressed out I'd have been if I just relied on others to take care of the driving and travel plans. because my boyfriend has never had a driver's license...he's gotten used to relying on other people to get places, and is therefore way less stressed out when things take awhile or are unclear. and normally I'd consider that a weakness, but considering my stress level, I started thinking about it as a good thing.

I dunno. The whole weekend ended up putting a pretty big strain on my relationship, but I think we'll be okay.

[hpdrifter]

Dude, I feel like this all the time now. Awkward, out of place. It makes me really irritated.

I get serious anxiety at the thought of going out with my own friends who I've known for years. I don't enjoy drinking anymore and the beer pounding isn't really my m.o. It just ends up being bad as my defense mechanism is to throw out snide comments and just generally bully people with my bitchiness.

[Nuzzolese]

I almost started another thread about that doctor I work with, the Vulcan. But I didn't know if anyone would even care, because it's pretty self-involved to think everyone wants updates on my life, something they can't even get involved with. But I didn't want to add to that old Vulkan thread, either because of the same reason.

I asked the Vulkan if he wanted to hang out with me and my boyfriend. I don't know why. He was talking about how he has to try to "get out there" more often. I cringed when he said that. "get out there?" Out where? The "dating scene?" No! He's too odd and awkward and special for that kind of talk. I can't even picture him in a bar, the hideous flashing lights and the darkness around him, a martini in front of him, Lady Gaga assualting his earballs. It would be like throwing a wounded bald eagle into a pen of hogs. A disgrace.

So, he reluctantly agreed. I pressured him. I had to intervene, I didn't want him to go do something stupid on his own. I wanted to be there, out there, wherever he was going to be. I wanted to keep an eye on him.

He wanted to go to this awful place. As soon as I realized he was serious about wanting to go there, the bile tickled up my throat. It's this book store / wine bar and it screams of pretension. It's called "We know you like the Wine" What does that even mean? It's the worst name of a place EVER, so that right there ought to stop any reasonable person from entering. Besides that it's really snotty. Oh, do you really know me so well, stupid smug little store? Makes you just want to spill wine all over their overpriced books.

But, that's where he wanted to go. So we met him there on Friday night and it's a long story but I'm glad my BF met him so now we can talk about him and make decisions for him to help him find better places to go than that grape-reeking grotto of stuck-uppity rich housewives. He'll never meet his true love there.

[Bob]

that was worth posting, you should have posted it

[Nuzzolese]

I wish I had. Now we'll never get to talk about it.

[Echewta]

Cosmo, you alright kid.

[Adam]

This is actually an interesting thread. I didn't look at it until now but because of the pieces of information in this thread are almost denied a little, I want them more.

you and I we're alot more alike than you might think...I did virtually the exact same scenario this weekend...to maintain independence I rented a car to go to the opening of a show,that my friend has a couple of pieces in,up at Banff...I experienced duplicity in me...I had to cut myself off after 3 bevy's so I could get back in the car and flee...

see, maybe if you didn't have the car, you would've tried to relax and have fun?

I don't know, I had the car but I was in charge of transporting people, so I couldn't just leave or anything. I got to spend the night in a blanket fort at least. and before that, I got real drunk and smoked enough dope to stop caring that I wasn't talking to anyone. Good thing there were funny books to look at, and an exercise ball to roll around on.

I'd rather have been at home though. :/ I have my own funny books and exercise ball. and I shall build me own blanket fort for personal use.

[MC Moot]

^first of all...blanket/couch forts are pretty much awesome...anywhere,anytime...and secondly the car was a total escape mechanism...as much as I would like to rationalize it any…which I did of course…it’s pretty stupid really…I mean I had a bed and a room offered to me in one of the most beautiful destinations in north America…could have stayed,waited for the schmooze and the sweat to pass,celebrated and caught up with a very close friend I only see every couple of months now,gone for brunch and rolled back into town at my leisure…sometimes we all kinda suck in our own seperate or shared way's...

[Bob]

i would really like to sing tom waits' chocolate jesus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wfamPW3Eaw) at a karaoke place. real bad. apparently i do a pretty good tom waits singing voice. i play rock band with friends every now and then and whenever i end up singing a song i don't know how to sing i default to the tom waits voice and it kills them. i can't tell if they're laughing with me or at me and also we're all generally pretty smashed when i do it but regardless it sounds pretty good in my head and i want to do it in public

i haven't found a karaoke bar that has that song in its library yet though. i'd also settle for way down in the hole (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipaV4k2n__I) which i guess would be more recognizable but i dunno i really want to do chocolate jesus

[Adam]

I really don't want to go to any of my Work Christmas Do's and I think I'm gonna find them hard to avoid. My only solution so far is to leave the country, but that may be a little drastic to avoid sitting with mainly 45+ year old women eating dead birds and pigs while I eat a dried up piece of quiche because there was nothing else on the menu.

I work in 4 different offices so I have 4 of these to avoid :mad:

[gbsuey]

i probably delete 90% of what i write, new threads especially. i start writing and just think, who gives a fuck about that...or, what the hell do i know about it really?? actually not a bad way of thinking if you're the type to update your facebook profile every 37 seconds

[Adam]

i probably delete 90% of what i write, new threads especially...

Yeah, I make loads to and then don't post them. I think it helps me think though. Like I start typing as if its an internal mantra of my thought process and by the end I have talk through my problem or comment or whatever the fuck I was posting about.

I just did it here actually and deleted it all. Thanks for the help guys (y)

[Guy Incognito]

i was going to make a thread about this but i might as well stick it here cos i dont think its got any legs.
I had a dream last night that i still cant shake, no idea what it means it was just really disturbing. It was a bout a series of plagues and i was caught outside in them all, insects, snakes, all sorts. it was getting a bit full on and i havent got rid of some of the images yet. just thought i'd share that christmassy vision with you.

[Adam]

This ain't quite a dream I can't shake but I have a friend who was awaiting some tests results and I haven't heard from here after I expected I would. I hope she is alright and I'm sure she will be but you know when you can't helping thinking bad news even though I know no news is good news.

Also, another thread I thought about making:

I really want to go back to NYC and spend a couple of week there (y)

[Bob]

i was going to make a thread about this video that my friends made but then i thought that i didn't want to make a whole thread about it. but i still want to share it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ali5DljMXWU&feature=player_embedded

it has copyrighted music so if you watch it and it has no audio i guess that means somebody ratted them out to youtube. but it was funny, i promise!

hey, i'm at the top of a new page. it's like i started a new thread after all!

[jabumbo]

i hope you weren't involved in that video, bob

I didn't like the first part, but from the fake commercial part on, it's pretty LOL. my favorite part was the knife stabbing. :)

I was going to say, "make money, make money money", but it doesn't really translate into text.

I was gonna make a thread about Tiger Woods being hurt in a car crash (http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/nov/27/tiger-woods-car-accident) and how is pretty poor driver

But then, it wouldn't be funny, kinda tasteless, golf bores me anyway
