TRISTAN

Morning, all.
Been a long spell....thought I'd drop by to say hello to all. Hugs to those that want them and rude gestures to those that want those.

Too many folk to say hi to individually...but it's good to see y'all are still around in here.

Plastic surgery...from way at the top....I am actually happy with the way I look, so I'll have to pass.

I can vouch for the fact that the patented "bigassjimibearhuggles" are indeed quite good. In a manly, brotherly way. I am sure the ones reserved for the fairer sex are quite a bit different.

What movie scene comes close to playing out a real world moment in your life?....hmm....

NVG, brutha, I am sorry things are complicated...my thoughts are with you.

RMMC....has it really been a year since the last Pennsic?!? Wow...

Territory and grudges....wow, good ones.
I hold grudges like you would not believe. Well, some of you might. It is very hard to get on my bad side or cross me, but once there, there is usually no forgiveness. I will be cordial and such, but I never trust that person again.
As for the "territorial" thing...my attitude used to be live and let live. If my SO wanted to dance with someone, go out somewhere with someone, I had no problem. I believed all parties involved were aware of the situation and trust involved. I will be a bit more wary in the future.

Though, with L I don't think I need to worry too much about her straying....just with keeping others from getting too close to her.

So...thanks for letting me pop by. Feels funny to be posting in here after so long. Hope to see some of y'all at D*C!

*sings* You won't fool the children of the revolution! No you won't fool the children of the revolution!

Honestly, I don't see the issue with strip clubs. I mean, aside from the obvious thing of turning something as beautiful and meaningful as a woman's body into something more akin to a visit to McDonalds. Still, as long as he's a good guy and as long as he doesn't cheat, he may as well have fun. I don't mind where he gets his appetite, as long as he eats at home

Oh, I'm not lecturing or anything! It's just a standard computer class. Pre-ECDL and ECDL combined - you guys call it the ICDL I think... you crazy yanks...

Plus for the 3 months I won't be teaching in the college but in a local community centre. The college have hired me and are paying me, but I'll be off campus.

It's great hours though - 9am-3pm Monday to Thursday and 9am-1pm Fridays. Early Friday finish!!! Woo hoo!!!

Mine's shaded in to give it sort of a 3d effect, but that's the same shape and pattern as mine Roughly the same size too, I think...

Could even get me a picture of yer ink. I give up. I imagine it's lovely though. The Tat, I mean. And the canvass.

Actually Zeek, it's International Computer Driving License. Which actually has nothing to do with driving, but the idea is that you can handle a computer with ease when you're finished.

In Europe it's the European Computer Driving License, and it's a very popular course. The one I teach the most, and much in demand by employers too. It's a step below the Microsoft Office Specialist or MOS courses, but covers a wider range of topics (such as computer jargon and theory, the internet and file management) that MOS courses only deal with a little.

Jonny - do I have other news? Nope. Not dating! Still have very little time, although my free time will increase with this new contract

and I'll have enough disposable income to go out once in a while too

so who knows?

But no, no boyfriend. Besides, I'm pretty much just over a depressive episode so I wasn't in much of a dating space there for a bit! I was just going by past experiences with boyfriends, and tending to think of a guy in particular with each point I was making! Of course I've been lucky with most of my boyfriends. I've only had one bad experience. The rest were absolute sweethearts! Even the one who went off to become a priest. And the one who emigrated to Australia. And maybe I should stop typing now...

*edit* Awww, you're not going to D*C? Well never mind. I offer you official membership of the "Not going to D*C but we don't care cuz we don't need no stinkin' awesome convention where all our cool friends are going!" club. We're... still working on the name.

Proud member DTH. Sure it sucks but we don't care do we.(?)

TRISTAN!!! Hug Imponderable glomp!

Okay. So we did some talking last night and it seems things were slightly more off than I thought. I'm told Mindy was much more drunk than I thought. She does not remember any of the altercation and was glad I acted in the capacity that I did. She is very sorry but still a little mad at the fact I carried the anger so far. Far enough for her to blame herself for the actions of others which really isn't anyones burden to carry.

Yes. I feel like an ass but only to a point.

On the waaay upside I have the inside information on what she wants in life. Of course there is the family and consistent romance between us. But I'm talking in the area of home, horses, and a small wedding with the family.

Not in the near future. A few years at the soonest. But having our relationship with a secure foundation is first and foremost. She really didn't have to say as much as she said. But it is no longer an insinuated aspect of our life.

Talk about weight off of my shoulders.

Surgery: Damn, if I had an unlimited pool of money and the inclination to rearrange my particulars, I'd end up looking like a completely different person. That's the thing about dysmorphia, I already don't recognize myself, so adding surgery to the mix would just be throwing a road flare into a tinderbox.

Territory: Eh. I don't have anything valuable enough to bother defending. No expensive car, no beast of a computer. No signifigant other. Got severe issues with personal space, strangely enough.

Grudges: Yup, guilty as charged. When I form an opinion of a person, I tend to stick with it, even if others keep saying "Give him another chance. He's really changed this time." Yeah. This time. All the other times he changed he was just pretending. While it's admittedly a bleak way to view the world, it's saved me from having to deal with a lot of recidivists.

Movie Scene: I once found myself standing in a comic-book store, talking to a pal and the proprietor about the inconsistencies and undertones of Star Wars. I swear, it was like standing on the set of a Kevin Smith movie.

Also, ahoi all those in Imponderable land. I'm back, I'm grim as ever, and I'm tired as hell.

So quiet today.

OK so how about this situation? How evil is it to take pleasure in the suffering of others? And we're not just talking any others here. I'm talking someone who deserves it pretty much.

So, last night this girl I really dislike was all depressed cause her bf/true love *cough*only dating for 2 months*cough* dumped her. Now this is someone who broke off an engagement because the guy had to take out a loan to afford the ring and that just means he's too poor for her. How friggin harsh is that? I say she deserves to be on the receiving end this time around.

So, how horrible a person am I for thinking she deserves to be depressed?
