The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

I answered a Craigslist "casual encounters" ad and now I feel terrible. I met her at her place. We ate dinner and watched a movie, but once we started cuddling I noticed a horrible smell (it was almost identical to how this pig farm back home smelled (dead, burning pigs and fermented shit)), and the more we cuddled, the stronger it got until I realized it was *clears throat* her.

That pulled me out of the moment and I realized where I was: at the mercy of my sexual frustrations, willing to say and do anything for sex. I was so embarrassed by myself and my actions that I had to leave. She felt horrible about my leaving, and I tried to do everything I could to make her feel better. But I feel like I'm just a terrible person

Nah, youre not terrible. That's just biology man. Apparently the way we perceive someone's smell indicates how biologically compatible you are. So basically, your brain was telling you not to do it because you guys would have messed up pig babies.

But if you wanted to take a chance you could have been like "lets take this to the shower.". There's always the chance she was super depressed and just hadn't showered. But if you're gonna put a casual encounters ad on cl, you better be at least somewhat recently showered.

That's the thing, she had showered and bathed and lotioned and done a whole bunch of personal hygiene stuff yesterday before I came over. Or at least, that's what she said. It was unbelievably bad... Never answering a craigslist personals ad again!

That's now one of my favorite craigslist stories wfs.
Like up there with the "Dear guy who fingered me and stole my coke and wallet at concert, thanks for leaving useless cards at the desk" one.

So, I have this friend Justin. He's really cool and plays guitar and is a bro. He comes over, we trade pedz, we chat, he leaves. Sometimes, we don't see each other for months because of work. Yesterday, I found out he has testicular cancer and is losing a testicle today. I told him that if he needs anything, I will take care of it, but it doesn't feel like enough. We are more acquaintances than anything, but I really like him and want to be supportive. I mean, Jesus, he's 25 and going through this.

I know these feels. My best friend had cancer when we were both 22. It's terrifying and awful, but the only thing you can do is offer to be there for moral support and hope he gets through it.

Fuck that. Sorry to hear.


So it's one of my favorite days of the year, the Solstice. Favorite because if I'm going to celebrate anything it's going to be crap that's based on hard fact (longest day of the year). Anyways. I was supposed to go see a badass metal show tonight (with Bongripper, who I've wanted to see for a while) buuuuuuut, surprise surprise, work scheduled me an earrrrrly ass shift tomorrow. I have to be there at 6AM. I'm finally at a point in my life where I have to judge if it's worth the sleep deprivation to go out. I thought about going out and staying until it started to get late, but its $15 and there are like 8 bands for some reason. On top of that, last week work fucked me by surprise! making me work 7 days straight, totally fucking up my plans to go see my Dad for father's day. I know I've bitched about needing a new job a bunch, but FUCK. Since moving to Denver last fall and working for the same company in a new location, I've gone out less, subsequently not made any new musical/art friends, gotten 0% closer to my original goal of learning to tattoo here, and work is taking more of my energy and time than ever. I'm going to talk to them to try and step down from the "assistant manager" position I hold to see if it'll at least reduce the mental stress.

My friend's surgery went well. He's home now watching Netflix and icing his crotch.

I spent 5 hours today playing Final Fantasy VI on an emulator.
Then I got a 'game over' and none of my saves had worked.
So I lost all of my progress.
I was super excited to be playing the game and now I've lost all desire to start over.

[Achtane]

You gotta use save states in addition to the ingame saving system when it comes to emulators.
Shit sux.

[jfrey]

So done. That is all.

Yeah, I usually do that.
Just... Didn't this time, I guess.
Ugh.

[greyscales]

Getting pretty pissed that my band keeps blowing off rehearsal when we've got a gig tomorrow, wednesday, and next thursday. We've missed three in a row and have only rehearsed once since the last show a couple weeks ago.

Ugh I hate people that cancel shit.

[jfrey]

Food poisoning.

^ this.
I get sometimes people have important commitments to keep but regularly canceling practices and stuff is so annoying. my bandmates cancel like 50% of our practices (we're supposed to rehearse twice a week) and most of the time it's just because they're hung over or can't be bothered. what's the point of being in a band if you're not going to try your best and work hard to be the best you can be, i hate playing shows and feeling unprepared or making noticeable mistakes, it's stupid.
on a somewhat related note, i can't stand bands that take their sweet ass time to set up and push shows past schedule, and have no idea how to fix technical issues related to their gear. there's such a slacker mentality among local bands in my area and i hate it. you generally have the ability to not make an audience wait forever only to be greeted with unwanted feedback and an uneven mix, but people seem to think that's all the sound engineer's job.

Why does my mighty '98 Ford Escort have to die now? It's too soon. We had such wonderful memories.
