TTanT

Jesus TiF you're all so like me educationally O_O I too had my AP Chem exam today. Multiple choice wasn't bad, Part A was horrid, Part B was easy. Now AP English Lit Thursday, AP Gov next Tuesday, and AP Macroeconomics next Thursday.

Take her out to McDonalds. Or, make the hotdog things suggested earlier, then make weiner jokes. Hundreds of them. Every time you make one grab your crotch and shout an obscenity. In all seriousness: After the evening has gone on for a bit and the moment seems right go for a kiss. Things will carry themselves on past that if she's willing.

Welp, shot down once again. However as with last time I'm finding myself more relieved to not have to worry about it anymore than upset about having been rejected. And there's good news, too: Her response to me asking her out was: "Sorry hun but I'm just not looking for a relationship right now." And she explained that she may be interested in a while but still isn't over her ex as of now. She also asked me if I was going to prom (every girl that rejects me asks me this, and I really don't know why), and we ended up talking for a while so there'll be no real awkwardness between us after this. She knows I didn't take it very hard, and that I'm glad just to have gotten it off my chest and not have someone else rat me out. Mind, I seriously doubt I'll ever end up dating her ("maybe later" tends to mean "never"), but we'll see. For now I've got 4 AP exams a sparring tournament, and two parties which I'm the organizer of to worry about. In short: I crashed and burned, but things still went rather well. Further good news is that I've gone through my entire list of people I'd be interested in dating who are single now, so now I can pretty much lay back and let things happen. Que sera sera and all that.

A video game gets boring after a while, so why bother buying it? Books and movies end, so why bother reading/watching them? Friends will die or become distant eventually, so why bother having them? This forum will become inactive or close down eventually, so why bother posting? Something doesn't have to last forever to be enjoyable and have a meaningful effect on your life. If you're waiting for eternity you might as well be waiting for Godot.

Man, I had no idea what my mispost was following. And Orpheus, that situation gave me chills just from reading it. Especially the bit with the dog. Holy shit.

lol high school I'll be out of it in a few months, so I can survive. And it could be worse, my friend didn't spread it as a rumor which escalated through retellings until it turned into "TTanT wants to rape [girl]." THAT is where highschool is at its worse.

Deciding to screw it all and ask the girl I like out tomorrow rather than waiting for the other guy who's going to prom with her to make a move. This is mostly because if I don't ask her someone else is going to tell her I like her, at this point. I only told two people, my ex (who wouldn't blab), and my best friend (for advice). Best friend slipped up and told a friend of his, who has a girlfriend whom he tells everything to. And she can't keep her mouth shut. Moreso, my bestfriend let it slip that there was another person that likes her to my inetrest and now she's pressuring him to tell her. So, tomorrow I say [bleep] it and ask. Honor is out the window at this point as she's going to find out regardless. But if I ask her rather than her finding out my chances are higher and I don't look like pansy. So I'll go with that. Nervous as hell, but I know at this point that asking people out is like getting stung by a wasp. Intimidating as hell, but not actually that painful. My friend who blabbed, hwoever, says her questions have been pointed as if she's guessed it's me and she seems very keen to find out, so I feel like that's a good sign. I'll be back with the results tomorrow.

Whoops. Wrong thread. Edit time. Today I practiced katas in a school bathroom because I was bored in studyhall and need to perfect them for a tournament. Luckily, no-one walked in on me.

Joined one and got "Sexy magician angrily bakes a cake." http://drawception.com/viewgame/9RLyZQBH2f/cupcakes-are-my-spirit-animal/ Lovely site.

I decided to show off my moves. http://theuglydance.com/?v=wcsirrztow

Grammar Nazis. A friend just got mad at me for saying "Well, alright" at the end of a conversation. She then links me an article explaining the difference between all right and alright (which doesn't even apply to what I said), and also claims alright isn't a word, despite the fact that it has been in popular usage for over a century. It's one thing to say that "Well, alright" should be "Well, okay" or something (still dickish though), but to bring up a completely unrelated point about it? And then she leaves right after that so I don't have a chance to blast her argument apart. So now my angry retort is in her inbox.

Mentally I'm about a 5 year old. Discovered the college I'm planning on going to has a skydiving club. Skydiving club. SKYDIVING. CLUB. HOLY COW.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, PUNK? HUH!? HUH!? OT: The fact that I have chess finals this thursday, then am judging at a sparring tournament Saturday, then have a sparring tournament I'm in next saturday, and then have 4 AP exams after that. This is on top of normal classes to teach, homework, and other bits of normal day to day stress. I mean, they're all fun things (...not counting the exam), but it's pretty stressful to have everything happen at once.

Just played pyro for the first time in a while, and remembered why I love the class. Popping random flares for the hell of it and occasionally pissing off spies/ random people rounding corners, then puff n' flaring or just being a dick with airblast. I've swapped from Axtinguisher to Powerjack to get out of the bad habit of doing melee charges on every single enemy (puff n' flare is more reliable), and it's paying off. Also, I landed a crit flare on a pyro today. (Blast with degreaser, swap to falregun and shoot the INSTANT you finish swapping at close range and it'll hit while the pyro is still on fire. I was at about 20 health but the pyro fled in sheer shock. Brb, w+m1ing.

You're not a good player until a server unfairly bans you for hacking. ...I'm not a good player. Huntsman is turning into my favorite weapon for screwing around. From abusing its chainable stunning tauntkill in Versus Saxton Hale server I've gotten really good at luring and tauntkilling people. Nothing makes me happier than single-handedly stopping an ubered heavy dead in his tracks as his medic (always, always) just stands there and stares at us. I feel like with proper use this could even be done in comp. (Uber is pushing so run around a corner they'll round, and taunt. Of course comp medics don't go braindead when their patient stops shooting,but it could still work wonders.) And am I the only one who will always take pop shots at nothing with projectile weapons? Like, firing an arrow/flare/rocket at a doorway because I have plenty of ammo and someone MIGHT walk through? Occasionally it pays off, and it doesn't cost me anything whatsoever.

I'd just like to say that after some of the conversations I'm had on Facebook it's a VERY GOOD THING that I'm not important or evil enough to have it looked through. :unsure:

Really? Because I told the guy I like how I felt and he doesn't feel the same way about me, but we hang out more than we ever did now, and we're still as close friends as we were before that. If anything, we're closer as friends. I wouldn't trust him in a relationship deeper than friendship anyway, so it's worked out for the better. I'm not going to lie and say I don't find him attractive anymore, but I'm really happy the air's clear. I've had unrequited feelings for him for a long time, partly because he didn't know who I was, and partly just because he doesn't feel that way about me, and I'm completely okay with that. So I just have to say I disagree with the bold bit, unless it's different from guys to girls, I wouldn't know. Well, there're always exceptions but I still feel that one person pining for the other damages a friendship. However, having it out in the open IS a lot better in my opinion as at least then you know and can try to get over them. But I think I was a bit too broad in my previous post though, you're right. Regardless, keeping your feelings bottled up and not telling anyone will at the very least cause you a lot of stress and unhappiness. If you hadn't confessed to him, you would have spent a lot more time agonizing over it, right?

For recording her, there's a lot of fairly cheap recording equipment out there. Do some google searches. There's stuff thatr anges from watches to pens to simpler thigns like stuff that attaches inside your clothing. A quick amazon search yielded an audio reocrding pen that was $12. And there're probably better deals out there if you're willing to look. Something like that would bring your chances of being caught down to almost zero.

I don't even know who was who in that conversation, but: Assuming what you mean is that your friends talked you into asking a girl you like to the movies and she said yes, you have good friends. Sittimg on your hands and ignoring your feelings is a horrible way to live life. Don't do it. Like a girl? Ask her out. Worst case scenario is you'll be shot down. Afraid of ruining the friendship? I hate to break it to you, but a friendship is basically ruined the moment one person starts to have unrequitted feelings for the other. You can pretend it still works, but it won't. Better to clear the air for minimum damage. (And she might even say yes!)

I'm saving that one.

Let's just say I'd have a full medieval armory. And a chainmail vest for every day of the week.

However taking steps to get her more interested in me (inviting her to group events I'll be at, etc) and doing a flirting of a nature that isn't blatant (I can't really describe what I mean by that, but I definitely act two different ways when I'm flirting blatantly and flirting subversively) would be alright, right? Since I'm definitely not asking her out until her current issue is resolved, but the more I hang out with her (assuming she ends up liking me*), the more likely she'll end up dropping the other guy. *I assume that because if I'm just not her type or something there's absolutely nothing I can really do. So I won't even consider it as a course of action so much as a result.

At some past posts that I failed to respond to: @Omar My passion would definitely be the martial arts, and when I'm in the studio teaching or practicing I completely forget any issues I have outside of there. It's times when I'm alone and have nothing to do, like when I made that post at midnight that all the doubts and negative emotions start jabbing at me. And from what I've heard from you guys and some thinking of done on my own I've come to a decision: I'm going to continue pursuing her, but am not going to make any open moves beyond flirting and such until her issue with the guy she's going to prom with is resolved. If she really does want to date him I'd have no chance, and if me flirting works or she just doesn't like him then he'll fall flat on his face without me asking. This also gives me time to really get her comfortable with hanging out with me and being around me, and for me to set up group hangouts that she'll happen to be invited to. (The one I've invited to her so far is a May the Fourth (be with you) Lightsaber battle. She's not terribly nerdy or into Star Wars, and yet is trying to go even though her parents said she couldn't which is a really good sign in my opinion.) After that I'll get a mutual friend who is my cohort invite us both to something and continue from there. One thing I think I did wrong a while ago when I asked that other girl out was that I moved WAY too fast (we'd never even hung out outside school), and probably freaked her out. Avoiding acting too slow and being friend zoned is a good idea, but you don't want to jump the gun either. Especially in high school. On the note of prom however, I have a feeling I'll be quite the presence there. It's a masquerade themed prom, and I'm making a mask which is half steampunk with cogged edges, cogs and chunks of jagged metal, and half very plant-like with spiked edges and large chunks of artificial leaf and flower cut into fantastic shapes. I mention it here because I've proud as hell of it and have been waiting for an excuse to bring it up.

Well, I was hit with some unexpectedly good news today. A girl I was thinking of asking out but gave up on because I thought she was dating someone isn't. She's going to prom with him, but for now they're just friends and though she is thinking of maybe dating him, the way my friend put it almost made it seem as if she didn't want to. So, back to my old plan of get to know her better then ask her out. Hopefully her friend is a chicken and doesn't beat me to the punch (or does and is shot down). As for my ex, I'm just figuring that the pangs of jealousy and such will fade over time. Until then I'll cope. What RPG said about it being like quitting an addiction feels very true, though.
