Today...

[Noxx 315]

So i have somewhat of a messed-up story... It's kind of confusing, but i'll try to simplify it as much as i can.

The people involved are Me, my sister, the girl i'm seeing (who's also my sister's "best" friend), the guy my sister is seeing (who's also a really close friend of the girl i'm seeing), and the girl i'm seeing's gay best friend (who's also the brother of the guy my sister is seeing). I just realised, saying it like that already makes this sound very redneck. To make things easy i'll just refer to the girl i'm seeing as A, the guy my sister is seeing as B, and the gay brother/best friend as C.

 

So my sister introduced me to A a few weeks back. We hit it off immediately. Went on a date a few days later. Pretty much followed the generic path most people do during the "development phase" of a new relationship. After about 3 weeks we both came to an "agreement" that we wanted to be exclusive. Up until now i thought things were pretty normal, following a normal path. Obviously this is when the twist came. I was on my way to go see A one night when i got a phone call from my sister. She told me the following:

 

B and C apparently had a conversation in which my "relationship" with A was brought up. C told B that A was only using me to get back at my sister. Get back at her for what? Well A and B were really close friends, but once my sister and B started showing interest in each other, A and B no longer hung out as much as they used to. To simplify it, A was mad that B was starting to spend more time with my sister than with her (A). She(A) felt as if my sister had "stolen" B from her, so she(A) was angry at my sister. So in her(A) mind, the best way to get back at my sister was to sleep with me. I know, i know... this makes no sense. Anyway.... the reason B knew this was because C had told him so after A had told him © so. 

 

At the time it didn't really bother me too much because i really wasn't looking for a serious relationship anyway. To me A was not much more than just someone to hang out with and hook up with. But now... i feel like things are different. A is changing her behavior towards me. Starting to become slightly more serious. Our conversations are becoming a bit more meaningful, were starting to do things "normal" couples do, etc. And truth be told, it's confusing me ever so slightly. 

 

Now when me and my sister spoke about this a few days ago she told me that A has been talking to her about me a lot. The way she's starting to feel about me, etc. Keep in mind that no one (except my sister) knows that i know everything. So A doesn't know that i'm aware of what she said/did. And truth be told, it's confusing me because a.) either A is playing the long game (the VERY long game), or b.) she's actually starting (or already started) seeing potential in our relationship. 

 

I'm still not sure how i feel about the whole situation. On the one hand i don't really want to ruin a good thing. What we have is good. We have fun, a lot of fun. And i feel like i have the ability to control my emotions (as in completely keep emotions out of it) for now. When i spoke to my sister about this the other day she said that perhaps A's initial intentions were just to sleep with me, "get back at my sister" and then "dump" me, but now that we've gotten to spend more time together she's changed her mind. So the confusing part about all of this is that i'm not sure what to do. I feel like i should confront A about this, but i don't really want to deal with all the drama that comes with it (because it'll most likely create drama between my sister and B, A and B, B and C, and so on and so forth). But additionally i don't want to get bamboozled and end up being a centerpiece of A's long-game (assuming her feeling have not changed the way i think they have). It's only been a few weeks, so it's still very early to judge, but me and A are very compatible and i know that we can very easily have a very long term relationship. 

 

So yeah...  this is fun...

You should make a graph to show the relationships between the people involved because I got lost :lol:

Doesn't matter had sex?

Doesn't matter had sex?

I mean right now that pretty much sums up my attitude about the entire situation. When my sister first told me my first reaction was "what kind of a dumb women uses sex to get back at someone." Obviously my sister isn't gonna give a shit who i sleep with, and obviously if i'm getting laid i don't care what the motives are... Like... i don't really understand what her angle was.

I took a nap yesterday afternoon cause i wasn't feeling to good. Nap was longer than i hoped (i forgot to set my alarm), and i woke up at 8pm. Was so cold outside i couldn't go get anything to eat :s What a miserable evening. Ended up eating chocolate-chip cookies and maltesers for dinner.

Today has been awful. I think my keyboard is broken. Every time I try to type the letter "c" it puts this gif of a typing cat. can anybody help me out? It's really starting to affect my productivity.

EDIT: I know this isn't the tech support subforum, but this is one of the few active subforms left on Tif so I thought maybe you guys could help me out.

 

 

Mod EDIT: There, I fixed the problem ;)!

[Bonez899 226]

I think the most surefire solution is to just delete system32. I'm not sure anything else will be able to solve the problem so quickly or efficiently.

No no, clearly what needs to happen is that you replace that image on your phone with this one:

I slept about 24 hours in two days and I still feel cranky and unrested. Stupid everything.

[Goonstalf 495]

Weird, I guess I'm not the only one having this problem. If you find a solution, could you please send me a PM so I can get back to work on my novel? Thanks!

 

 

Mod Edit: Fixed the problem!

I pretty much wrapped up the dungeoneering thing I was working on. I added a basic implementation of combat and that's enough for me. Considering that I don't plan on releasing it, I'm not going to polish it any more.

 

So now my next idea is to create castle wars, except that it'll be a multiplayer web game instead of a desktop app. I think it could be fun. 

 

I worked on the map today

 

 

It kinda sucks because I'm not a very good artist, but you'll notice that I increased the tile size from 25 to 50 px. That will allow me to have more detailed characters, which is important because I want the player to be able to wear different types of gear. Castle wars just isn't very fun unless you have someone ice barraging everyone.

 

I think I'm gonna get into contact a couple of my more artistic friends and see if I can get some decent-looking art

Saw Rogue One.

 

It was pretty awesome.

[Bonez899 226]

It honestly lived up to and, in my case, surpassed any hopes I had for the movie. Now just another year until we get episode 8.

Couldn't sleep at all last night. Neighbours above me, or next to me, or across the street, or somewhere, had loud music playing till like 5 in the morning. Was really frustrating. Tried my best to fall asleep but i ended up just tossing and turning for hours. Ended up being so tired, i finally fell asleep at around 7am. It sucks because i was meant to take exams this morning, which i ended up missing. Woke up at 3pm... Decided i might aswell just go back to sleep, wake up later, then study the entire night. Well... finally woke up an hour ago (1am). I have an exam (well...2 now) at 11am. So tonight/today is going to be a looooong one. I'll have to do the same thing when i get home, since i have 2 more exams on Wednesday. Can't wait for this week to be over.

You should tape your speakers to your ceiling and blast them at 7am :lol:

Come to the end of the first term of my final year of uni.

Incredibly eventful term, much of it spent under the influence of various legal and illegal substances.

 

Slightly turbulent for my mental health but I had six weekly counselling sessions that showed some minor improvement.

Bit of a sad end to the term as I was strangled by the guy I had been dating for two months so it's messed my head up a bit and I now have nightmares about being choked/strangled.

 

And the best bit is he doesn't even know that what he did is actually serious.

He's disappointed that I reported it rather than coming to him even though I spoke to him over the phone several times and each time was increasingly distressing as he provided several "reasons" why he did that to me. I'm actually really shocked at how textbook "This is what an abusive relationship looks like" my situation has been

 

It started with him deliberately gunning for me with verbal criticism of literally everything I do, what I look like and I had grown used to negativity and being put down.

I thought it was the price of the few/random moments of affection I got from him. I would genuinely be kissed by him in the morning and 20 minutes later, be shouted at for extended periods of time. I guess I put up with a lot more than a lot of other people would, as I got used to having a low opinion of myself. 

 

Every time I demanded more respect he'd just call me a drama queen. I bought that and just tanked all the verbal abuse for months. 

I guess the physical abuse woke me the [bleep] up, and the fear that consumed me made me run for the hills.

 

I've since met up with him but only in public places just so he can provide some closure/apologise but there's literally no hope. I recorded his statement of "I didn't strangle you, I just yanked you across the room holding your neck" and I guess I'll give it forward as evidence although I do feel some guilt about whatever punishment he may receive....

 

He says "If you didn't stay over at mine so often, this wouldn't have happened"

Maddy dropping bombs over here damn

[Noxx 315]

You should tape your speakers to your ceiling and blast them at 7am :lol:

If i had speakers with me i would have done just that. Sadly i don't think my laptop even goes loud enough for anyone in the next room to hear it, let alone someone in a different appartement.

 

Generally i don't care for this sort of noise, the only reasons it annoyed me are a.) it's a [bleep]ing Sunday evening, who the hell parties like that on Sundays? and b.) i had exams the next day (which i ended up missing) and i just wanted to get some damn rest.

Maddy, I know we're not super close, so maybe this won't mean much to you... but I'm damned proud of you.
