YOURS?

I'm sorry to hear that, Rob

Mine was ok. Nice to see family but invariably depressing and deeply sad. Christmas is usually depressing

Details?

I have gotten good at maintaining calm cheerfulness in the face of my wife and her sisters' constant sniping. Also, getting The Pacific DVDs helped; I could run off to World War II.

Got the Wreckers trade and read the Bullets short story. God in heaven. What the hell is possessing IDW NOT to give the ongoing to Roberts?

MP Grimlock is a bit of a disappointment. He's just a big ******* Grimlock, with no real difference I can see from the other models. I guess I got the crown...

The amazing wife also found me a set of Peter David's Hulk trades. Mister Fixit![/i]

Fantastical. In the exciting saga of me and my ex, he decided he'd rather be just friends instead of just friends who occasionally fool around. Which is fine by me, because at this point I've been pulled in so many directions by the entire thing that just having someone pick something and stick to it would be excellent. I expect things to either revert back to previous or revert back to previous previous where we stopped talking to one another any day now. I suppose its a good thing I've gotten fairly apathetic towards the entire wishy-washy affair.

Clearly -TMI moment over... Previous sentiment echoed- what's up, doc?

I got laid. Girl is one I've fancied for about 18 months, a few of my mates know and they're been giving me proper "man of the match" backl slaps, she's an awesome girl and a total babe. 3 hours of cracking sex.

Reading that back, I appear to be a massive drama queen overreacting ****.

The problem is that I distanced myself from her because I really like her. So we've been friends and she recently split up with her LTR... and she's now acting "well weird"

Not at all, save for the tune of 80$, including international shipping.

Mine was alright until my awful sister came down to stay for over a week. Stupid **** is living on the couch because she thinks there's evil ghosts in the bedrooms out to get her. She's 16.

That, and my new ML Gold Iron Man has two right hands.

I got some nice gifts, though. I'll post a list in the other thread...

What you should have done is woke her up in the middle of the night wearing a white sheet and going "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" to scare the crap out of her.

[Disclaimer: Being caught looming over a 16 year old whilst masked and making groaning sounds might get you into some trouble].

3 more hours of cracking sex could fix that. It can fix a lot of things.

Uurgh.

I was really close to this girl. I don't think we'll be doing much speaking in the future. She's massively moving the goalposts and ******* with my head now.

Gents - banging your girl pals: suicide.

I screwed up nearly everyone's presents for different reasons ... but hopefully I'll be able to sort that out soon.

Other than that, a relaxing time with the family. Booze and chocolate. Whisky-tasting. Table football. Miniature pool. Generations Blurr. Now I just have to find a way of avoiding going back to work and I'll be happy forever!

My xmas was largely sullied by illness. I had a week of leave booked before xmas when i planned to get quite a bit done and spent most of it in bed.

However i have rather enjoyed the last few days when i worked my way through the extended versions of the LOTR trilogy. Plus watched Groundhog day last night.

Hope everyone else had a better one.

Slipped on the ice a couple of days before Chrimbo, and got a knee injury out of it, so have been limping around since.

Luckily, the consumption of alcohol during Christmas Dinner meant that Kinect Sports afterwards was highly enjoyable by all.

Also, despite the injury, I can still drive a car, although I probably give snarl a run for his money verbally when changing gear.

I have the LotR boxset, I never get round to watching it properly though.

bumblemusprime · Post by **bumblemusprime** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 1:01 am

I was surprised by how much I liked The Pacific. A little less flag-waving and more "war is hell" than I saw in Band of Brothers. That took up most of my TV time this holiday, but no doubt I will need LotR to get me through two month of Pacific Northwest rain.

Damn it, I didn't watch LotR either... Should have spent at least a day on that!

Had a pretty good break with family but didn't see enough friends, most are single and spent it getting drunk. Oh well...

First day back at work yesterday, I didn't like that!

i actually watched the Pacifc first, and it made me go and watch BoB. I think BoB probably had a stringer narrative through it, but the Pacific was still a powerful watch.

Hmm. Calling it BoB makes me sound like a c*** doesn't it?

BoB! nyah.

Post by **snarl** » Thu Apr 07, 2011 6:34 pm

This again.

So we've not spoken since January 22nd when she was trying to speak to me and I kept brushing her off.

Her last words to me: "You're a ******* idiot"

urgh.

I'm obsessed.

Then I convinced myself that I can just avoid her, she will miss me and then one day we'll bump into each other it'll be great again.

I am a ******* idiot!

And just now, up pops "Miss X is now in a relationship" on my Facebook.

I clicked on it about 10 times hoping it was some sort of fault.

I feel... ******.

I feel mild nausea, emptiness... And alone. I feel lonely.

I feel like powerless - I feel like a ****!

Why can't I move the [composite word including 'f*ck'] on? Help me out guys.

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Thu Apr 07, 2011 9:15 pm

Ugh. Take her of your News Feed bud. Don't click on her profile. And definitely don't call her when your drunk.

Sounds familiar to me anyhow. The more I care about someone the bigger a dick I act! Can't help myself.

Wait it out? By which time either she won't be in a relationship, you will be, or neither of you will be and you can try again?

Obfleur · Post by **Obfleur** » Thu Apr 07, 2011 10:16 pm

As Spidey said: remove her from your news feed, and stay the [composite word including 'f*ck'] away from her profile.
Just act like she doesn't exist for a couple of months, and it will slowly get better. The feeling of loneliness might be because you see her and immediately think "Why am I not with her?"
When you can think about her, check her profile or whatever, without your stomach producing instant diarrhea, you might be able to build a new friendship with her.

Edit: The feeling of **** is probably gonna stick around for awhile

But try and have fun with your mates, talk about your feelings, live your life and don't think about her. In time it'll get better.

Post by **snarl** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 6:43 am

You guys are the best.

I phoned my mate and vented. It felt good. Sometimes you just need a bloke to tell you what would be obvious to mostly everybody else (this girl is no saint).

Oh I also stuck on a bit o' Jay-Z and ******* rapped.

Dirt off your shoulder works.

So anyway, I feel ok right now. We'll see how it goes.

Post by **Best First** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 10:44 am

Yeah man, sometimes just saying sh1t outloud is a powerful thing - it makes you think about what you are thinking and work it through.

Last freaking week i bumped into That Girl (i think anyone who ha been here a while had to endure my breakup with me) with a ****ing kid. Looking back we did not work and i don't miss her and thank **** we didn't get married - but seeing her was still wierd and a reminder of some dark sh*t. We made small talk - it was rubbish.

And afterwards i couldn't quite figure out how i felt about it - bit annoyed that she was clearly quite happy with her decision to can me and move on with her life i guess - but venting to a few mates helped no end.

Plus you can get quality feedback from your mates like "Duggan, i am going to let you talk about this for two minutes and then i will bitchslap you."

Beer next week Pops?

I'm pr obably drunk. But if I was in londo I would definitely have som sort of "Let's Purple Rain-togheter"-eveing with you.

Diet coke biff, I'll come out for a diet coke.

Drinking does not help this, it makes me into an over emotional minge. I'm putting it on hiatus till I've 100% got this handled.

Nng

This: "And afterwards i couldn't quite figure out how i felt about it - bit annoyed that she was clearly quite happy with her decision to can me and move on with her life i guess"

Although my situation isn't the same, this is how I feel. When this girl was being all train crash about it on FB I was much happier, which is nasty. But it made me feel like I mattered. Now I feel like I don't. Logically, I'm certain I definitely still do.

In general I'm ok, but then I'll have periods where I'm a bit tired, or I've got alone time... and I just can't stop going over and over about it, the night in particular, things that were said, how great it was and then how suddenly it's gone 180 degrees in the other direction, it was making us both unhappy but she just wouldn't talk about it to me, but still wanted us to remain friends... but it was just all so awkward.

I'm really ******* annoyed with myself over this.

Sorry chaps.
