Open Bar MMXIV^2: Solace of Quantum

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Oh, and ECHGF 2.0 is WAY more angry at me about the minor spat we had earlier than makes any sense. Between that and some of the things she said when she was yelling, I'd put $5 on "I'm not happy here and this is my way of creating a problem between us in order to have an excuse to pack my bags and go back to Virginia". I understand and I could be cool with that even though I don't approve of her methods (if that's what they are) but it'll suck to have to find a roommate on the fly if it comes to that.

I don't do anything half-assed, even bad days.

Gonna go on a limb and say that the fact that she is ECHGF 2.0 means that you are not that invested in the first place. So in that sense, it miiiiiiight just be good riddance.

[East Coast Hustle]

In that sense it might, but on the other hand she IS a really awesome person and someone I could see my self being that invested in eventually. That sort of thing typically takes me a very long time no matter what.

[East Coast Hustle]

I mean I wouldn't cry about it but I'd still be bummed and not out of wounded pride.

[East Coast Hustle]

Oh, AND THE PART where the money I'm probably going to have to spend on a vehicle is the money I had planned to use to book a ticket to St. Thomas in September (when airfares are lowest) to see my godfather before he gets eaten up by the exact same cancer my dad had. It's horrible to say, but I actually find that last fact reassuring since it almost certainly means that my dad's cancer was service-related and not as likely due to hereditary predisposition.

[East Coast Hustle]

So yeah, all of that. I don't really have anyone in my immediate IRL-sphere to vent that sort of shit to (which is probably something I should think harder about), so here I am and here you guys are.

Self-protective that, falling for assholes sucks.

[East Coast Hustle]

It's more that I'm kind of an asshole and I need to be sure that the person I'm considering investing that much of myself in is a compatible kind of asshole.

[Freeky]

ECH I have nothing substantial to say, but I feel for you in a meaningful way for your shitty time right now.

I'm getting kidnapped for a week. Back later with stories

shit dude

I think the last couple trips to the hospital have shaken up my Dad.
Our relationship has always been more of a show that you love them instead of tell them type (which is fine by me since actions are louder than words).
Lately however he has been making it a point to actually say "I love you" or just "Love you".

And...it's actually kinda wigging me out for some reason. And I feel like a right jerk about it, because having a parent tell you they love you shouldn't activate some awkward pause in your brain.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm slow to fall in love, typically, and that means that sometimes people lose interest in me because I take too long and they figure it's never going to happen. Sucks.

Oh, yeah, the mortality of our parents. Yep. It's uncomfortable.

One of my new tenants is an old marine who wants to teach meditation and self defense with a strong interest in women's self defense. Which is super cool. It will be nice to be a part of something that helps people actually be safe, or increase their odds of surviving with minimal harm.

Students are desperately trying to drag me into their money disputes.  "Someone owes me £700!"  "Well he owes me £2800!"

Well, I don't give a shit.  You're stupid enough to lend your money out without guarantees, don't be surprised if someone takes you for a ride.  It's capitalism kids, ask your parents. 

Besides, this is all just residual butthurt over a finished friendship, manifesting through the lense of money owed.  I still don't care, however.
