  1. Maybe she's into you? ;) I should clarify that she’s just like that with everybody. Still, it ticks me off. And if she is into me, I regret to inform her that the feeling is unreciprocated. Imagine how much she would talk in an relationship . She would wear you down before the week was over! The good thing about people who talk a lot is that you can talk less. I tend to start daydreaming, when someone is talking my ear off. If possible then keep moving, get that thousand yard stare going (if you're not already doing that) or maybe have some earbuds in. Or you can take the hardest but most effective solution, and tell her she talks too much and it's interferring with your work. Btw, having music in your ears may not work after all. I can't count the times people have bothered me when I have my earbuds in. Shouldn't that be a hint? Thanks for the tips, TAG. :). But the earbuds definitely won’t work. I saw her yank someone’s out the other day. I think there’s something going on with her. Like…autistic spectrum, maybe? She doesn’t know when to stop, and she has some sort of impediment that makes her r’s sound like w’s. So, not only is she talking a mile a minute—I can’t understand half of what she’s saying! :laughing guy: But, I don’t know. I almost want to feel sorry for her. There is definitely something wrong with her. She must be on some kind of spectrum for sure.
  2. Too self-conscious. It's just hair. The wet spots under you are another matter... Before I posted the picture I was asking myself "you think someone will notice the water stains underneath me? ... Aaah, they won't"
  3. Happy Birthday to Stella :cheerleader: :hi:
  4. Yup. If the oboe is still around I don't worry about the guitar. Exactly. Just like the violin is an essential instrument, so is the electric guitar. It will never go away. Heck, you still have Claves. What good are those?
  5. I got the album Rocket Surgery by The Lost Patrol playing almost constantly. Her voice is mesmerizing. It's almost like a less coarse Dido.

  7. Scored this little gem to my vinyl collection. It was expensive but well worth it as the whole package is awesome and the music is fantastic. You're supposed to sacrifice the album cover by taking this little flap and rip it open, but I didn't do it that way because I was afraid it would make storing the records difficult. So I chose to peel it open at the side which revealed a little message that read "Stop trying to control and let go" It is now only offered in a black UK pressing which I initially thought I had bought, but mine came in pink which is limited to 4000 copies so I lucked out. :D
  8. Lying on the couch about to watch the Jim Jefferies show.
  9. The barbecue went well and we had a blast in town. I'm really hungover today but I'm glad I went. I almost started making a scene but that was my own fault being tired and drunk. Now it's time for Formula 1 :)
  10. I wonder if you experience the same on Facebook where people in their comments try to use irony, and then go and write "irony can occur". Kind of defeats the irony I think.
  11. Analog, what did you decide to do - go or stay home? I've decided to give it a chance. If they want to play all these drunken challenges (as I believe they have a habit of) I can count my blessings that I'm incredibly stubborn. Or I could step out of my comfort zone and see where it takes me :) When I was younger people would make me do stuff to mock me, and I guess that carried over into my adult life. Guess that's why I can be reluctant. Just do what makes you feel comfortable. Do not give in to the pressure. Back in the day, I was around the drinking games but never enjoyed it at all. I would just sit back with my drink and watch others throw up. :P I used to go along but my tolerance is low so when I reached adulthood I started to realize how stupid it was and turned it down. Now it's like food - I get full real quick.

  13. Been there done that. These kind of relationships never work in the long run unless both are fine with dragging each other down. I'm glad I made that mistake so I won't make the same mistake, when I find the woman I want to spend my life with :) :goodone: I learned a long time ago. Both people need to do their own thing at times. I think it makes for a healthy relationship. Here's to us learning our lesson :D :cheers:

  15. What did the buffalo say to his son when he wen't away? Bison.
  16. When were you born?? And if Millennials are from the 90's onwards, then what generation are the people from 1980 to 1990? The Analog Grownup Creation Generation? I'm born in 1983. Wait, I placed my vote wrong I'm the MTV generation. Back when it was actually music. What the Hell happened? Somebody call him a doctor! Dr. Feelgood

  18. I used to work in retail and all that friendly how's your day going, how are you doing stuff is fake BS. Employees are trained to ask things like that in order to leave a good impression on the customer and give them a good experience so they'll come back again. I never knew many employees who actually cared how customers who were complete strangers really were doing. Believe it or not, that friendly chat does work on a lot of people. I would love to say that surprises me, but it doesn't. I used to work with customer service years ago. Most of the time I had a good rapport with the customer, probably because I really listened to their concerns and tried to find a solution both they and the company could agree on. Some people couldn't be helped and so I would go out back and bitch about them with my coworkers to not take it out on some unsuspecting customer. My point is that I think you know when it's meant and when it's company dogma.
  19. Poppiest: The Wreckers Heaviest: The Anarchist. I was close to picking BU2B because of the onslaught of guitars, but when I take the lyrics into account there was no doubt in my mind. The Anarchist is a song of poisoning of the heart, and someone exploring their capability to complete evil.
  20. This is SO funny! I entered this thread for the sole purpose of stating the above. i wasn't sure if anyone else noticed. It drives me crazy - everyone is starting sentences with "so" now it seems. You watch commentators debating on TV and it is very common. So what's your point? Reminded me when I had to write freestyle essays on summer camps when I was a young kid. Nearly every sentence started with 'so'. So luckily I improved. :P
