OMG SRSLY?

Giligan, I see nothing wrong with your position. Just do whatever you feel is most important, is my advice.

I also have people in my life with whom I share a strong loving bond, even though we're not in a relationship, and to tell you the truth, that makes me happy enough right now. It's all I need. I've never felt freer and more content than I did after I made this realisation.
Understood, Squinky.

Although I do fine when I'm on my own, I usually find myself happier when I'm in a relationship. Sun's bright enough but when I'm with someone I love, it just seems a little brighter, you know. That's how I am.

It's always interesting to be reminded how different people desires different things out of their life.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I've been doing that, and I'll keep doing it.

But scientifically, the sun doesn't shine any brighter, so love is either hallucinatory or delusional......

Kidding. I know what you meant. I'm sure that Jaz and Rob do, too.

I warn you:




Just so you don't complain should you end up as deep fried Giligan, due to what you keep on saying here.

Awww.... like two kids in school with a crush on each other, passing notes and publicly pretending to hate each other.



Well, that should land me with the onion rings and twinkies.

Been there, done that. But it seemed that the entire school still knew that we had a thing for each other anyway. Just like we know about JazRob.

No romance, said Juliet,
I haven't left school yet,
We're friends - just friends'.
Said Sampson, 'Delilah?
She's my hairstyler,
We're friends - just friends'.
Said Mrs Fitzherbert,
'My friend is Prince Regent,
I scorn every slur but
One must be obedient',
'Who's Abelard', said Heloise,
'He's not my fella
He's a friend - just friends'.
Said Hero and Leander,
'It's nothing but slander,
We're chums - just chums'.
Said Troilus to Cressida
'Don't believe the pressida,
We're friends'.
When they whispered Napoleon
Pays Josephine's rent,
'Nonsense', said Bonaparte,
'She lives on her own, apart,
In her own apart-ment',
Said Orpheus, Euridice,
But that's all sub judice.
So guard against gossip, and take every care,
Lest some blameless escutcheon you blot,
Such models of friendship are precious and rare,
Though the friendship of models is not.

You do realize, of course, men and women can't truly be friends. Harry Burns told me so...


From one of my favorite movies of all time:



Quote:

Sally Albright: Why not?
Harry Burns: What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form - is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sally Albright: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: No you don't.
Sally Albright: Yes I do.
Harry Burns: You only think you do.
Sally Albright: You say I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry Burns: No, what I'm saying is they all WANT to have sex with you.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: They do not.
Harry Burns: Do too.
Sally Albright: How do you know?
Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally Albright: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
Sally Albright: What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU?
Harry Burns: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Sally Albright: Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then.
Harry Burns: I guess not.
Sally Albright: That's too bad. You were the only person I knew in New York.


But then again, what do I know? I'm an idiot as I once went to bed with someone who used a line from the same movie almost words for words and I fell for it.

What he didn't tell me beforehand was that "the rest of the life" only lasted one night.

lol. Anyway... Personally I never understood the whole thing about relationships. It's overrated. I rather be single. If I first have a relationship, it should be with somebody I want to spend the rest of my life with. I never understood the point of having a girlfriend or boyfriend just to have one.

How to deal with a Grue:
* Die
* Scream and die.
* Scream, struggle, and die.
* Scream, struggle, crap yourself, and die.
* Scream, run, struggle, crap yourself, and die.
* Scream, run, struggle, crap yourself, look at a picture of Michael Jackson, and die.
* Scream, run, struggle, crap yourself, look at a picture of Michael Jackson, look like Michael Jackson, and die.
* Scream, run, struggle, crap yourself, look at a picture of Michael Jackson, look like Michael Jackson, feature in the video for Thriller by Michael Jackson and die.
* Convert to Judaism. It won't help, but there'll be less of you to eat.
* Run like hell and die.
* Use extreme sarcasm.
* Eat balls.
* Masturbate, because this will be your last chance to.
* Pour Cream on the Grue. Though this will just increase its ego and cause it to think it is a legendary Creamy Grue.
* PANIC!!!! PANIC GOOD AND HARD!!! It won't help, but it's fun.
* DON'T WANDER AROUND IN THE DARK, YOU MORON! Alternatively, light your torch. (This is ill advised, as they tend not to eat one unless first seen for some reason.)
* If you have a Mac handy, try using any real life cheat codes. If you have a PC handy, throw it at the Grue. It'll distract it for a bit, since Grues hate PCs more than you, but you're still pretty screwed after it's done eating it.
* Restore your freakin' game from your last save point.
* Kill yourself before it kills you.
* Insist that you are a Grue as well. This will not help in the long run, but it will confuse it for a second or two.
* Enlist the help of a bird. Maybe the Grue will be beaked through the head.
* Read to it this list. By the time you are finished, you both will have died of old age.
* Call down Chuck Norris to roundhouse kick the grue in the balls.
* Summon Herman Li from DragonForce to deafen the grue with one of his guitar solos
* Pour laxtant on yourself, maybe you will pass right through the grue's innards.
* Use the Grue as a shortcut to the afterlife
* Summon an army of skeletons, and keep summoning until your party reaches your location, and fight like hell.
* summon a schleg, and he'll take care of it.
* Read Mobey Dick in Italian, Grues love Italian and doing this increases your life for about 4 hours, of course once your done reading the grue will then eat you.
* Use the old "Whats that trick?!?!", this may confuse the grue, after doing this you better pray that your 100 metre time is better than 6.00 seconds, becuase if it isnt the gruw will the eat you.
* Crap out the helm of desintegration... and use it on your level 4 Paladin. You will pwn the crap out of them.
* Watch Nedss Declassified Grue Survival Guide for all the tips that won't help you at all. Good Luck...
