I think this is the biggest lie guys tell themselves. There seem to be three kinds of attitudes men take to women they're friends with:

1) I actively want to bang you
2) I don't think about banging you, but I would, given the right circumstances
3) I'm not attracted to you

I have plenty of female friends that are really just friends.

Goddamn the bad news just keeps rolling in, both here and for a lot of you.

Good news... um...

The Jeep is in my partner's name, and the roadside assistance people also let me transfer over the Fairlane's premium roadside to it. That was good. Massive relief actually. It's CEL popped on for a bit yesterday. No idea why but I suspect it's misfiring a bit because of the enthusiastic power steering leak. The crazy thing is still on half a tank and I don't even know how many hundreds of km it's been driven so far. Not complaining at all.

I got the tablet I bought on eBay. Sure I ended up paying slightly more than a refurb one in anger because I was jerked around pretty badly by an online store, it's keyboard dock has some broken case half clips that make it pop apart, and the screen seems a little loose on one side, but dammit it got here all the way across the country without being pulverised which is no minor miracle.
It means I can establish some kind of contact with people again too. I might not be alone but goddamn I get lonely.

Have a sunflower. Everyone likes sunflowers, right?


The sunflowers are growing really well. So are the tomatoes, potatoes, snow peas and there's a couple of watermelons that are shifting into high gear. It's the first time this miserable excuse for dirt has really managed to grow anything. Grass doesn't even want to grow in a lot of the yard.

So I had a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday. I'm pretty high right now on painkillers. I think I'm also suffering from cabin fever, so I've been sending snaps of my house. It took me over a year to get it clean from when this was my Dad's place. He was a hoarder. I'm ridiculously proud of my house now. I also have a real issue if things are messy around the house. Like OCD to the max issue.

Did I mention how much I like Percocet?

Percocet is great stuff until you're out of it. Despite my efforts after my last surgery to ween myself off of it as they ran out, the first day without them loving blew so much rear end it's ridiculous.
Also according to my family I'm hilarious on opiates, I was basically Homsar for a couple weeks. I'd put some ridiculous word salad together and it felt like I was saying a regular sentence, but then my brother would laugh hysterically, I'd ask him what was funny, he'd repeat that sentence back to me and I'd be like 'I said that? wtf that makes no sense. I didn't say that'.

Why the hell is it that when other people, ie not me get wisdom teeth pulled they get pain killers? I even know someone that I recently found out went to the exact same clinic hundreds of km away that I did for my last tooth removal and they actually got something, instead of being told to take Nurofen (not plus) if they need it. Half my goddamn bottom jaw was so badly infected that my teeth weren't even seated anymore and I had a constant flow of pus into my mouth. When I got home I managed to swing a GP appointment a couple of days later to get some good antibiotics which I ended up using the "just in case" repeat of as well before it got the infection under control. I also hit my partner's Panadiene Forte and the Nurofen Plus pretty hard too.

That loving tooth and subsequent infection was the reason I was in such a foul mood for most of '14. The waiting list was many months long to see a proper dental surgeon but it was worth it. Just wish he'd addressed the pain and horrible infection at the time.

Props on the house by the way. Mine looks like a hoarder's house. thing is though, it's not. hard to explain. I revel in throwing out or donating as much stuff as possible. It is a long road to cleaning up a disaster site though. It's like a Where's Wally (Waldo) of utter crap.

Eh, this is only my second time ever on painkillers. I don't have that many, and this morning when I woke up (and they had worn off completely) it wasn't that bad. It just makes it easier so that I can actually eat something.

Also my dentist didn't actually proscribe me the these... I just had some around. I was prescribed some meloxicam, which is like prescription ibuprofen.

It's still odd sometimes living in this house and being able to see the floor, and walk around freely.

FLIGHT SAFETY TIP: Fatties out first

When I fractured a couple of ribs a number of years ago, they gave me some Percocets to take over the first three days. I took the first one and was almost immediately violently ill. Throwing up isn't much fun at the best of times; throwing up when you've got fractured ribs is absolute agony...that was easily the worst pain I've ever experienced. Needless to say, I didn't take any more of those loving things and just beared with the pain.

I got my OnePlus One earlier this week. It's a wonderful phone. The battery lasts at least a day for me and I'm still using the stock ROM. I had to go to the ATT store to register the IMEI and the guy gave me a look of "WTF IS THAT THING?."

I just downloaded the cyanogenmod source. I'm thinking about compiling it. I think I'm becoming that guy. Again.

When is your brother getting back? Itd be cool to see more Javelins in AI.

Thats honestly been bugging me. They swapped to the more curved aero look in 71, so 70 would make much more sense but I am not an expert in these things, I just like drooling over the cars, regardless of year.

If they were actually percs, it may have been worth seeing his face after snorting them. They have acetaminophen in them which tends to burn a whole lot going up your nose along with being a poo poo ton of powder which will dry it out and make all your problems worse along with tasting like absolute poo poo.

The front fenders are much more pronounced, thinner bumpers, etc. They just tend to look a bit sleeker and more aerodynamic.

Welp, my idiot friend from months ago who refused to get her poo poo together and had the car she was upsidedown on repoed got another monkey wrench in her life. She was making payments on a Jeep she bought from a friend of a friend and she got two months behind on that as well (at $100 a month you have to seriously gently caress up your life to get behind) and she figured since she moved 3 hours away she could just stop paying him.
NOPE.
He showed up at her apartment yesterday, left a copy of the agreement she signed and since he still has the title and a key he took it home. So now she's hosed and crying to everyone asking to borrow a car. Had she listened to me and actually filed for bankruptcy 9 months ago I probably would'v let her have the Civic as all she's done is continue to get further into the well I had to wipe my hands of the situation today.

Look at it this way, she isn't gonna learn if people keep bailing her out. Let her fall on her face a few times and then she might consider taking advice from people that could quite possibly know better than she does about life issues. When you wanna do it your way you gotta own the consequences and suck it up.

I started to hang out with the kid I kicked out of the house last year again. Got into another fight with him tonight. A bunch of us got dinner and grabbed a beer and played pool afterwards. He was being a dick to everyone all night. We all went back to my house and he was being still being an rear end in a top hat. He said some poo poo to me and I told him to get hosed. I feel bad cuz we've all been friends with him for like a decade but he was being such a douche.
