Fuck, I had my blood pressure and heart checked out yesterday and had slightly high bp, which is unusual for me and just realised the doctor was a bit hot.

The good news is that my (mild) tinnitus is probably caused by fluid trapped behind my eardrum and it should be resolved with nosespray. 

Wow.  That's like a scenario right out of Curb Your Enthusiasm.  Absurd/hilarious/unfortunate as you say... or maybe a dose of absurdity is good in these situations, probably for us anyway.  I've definitely appreciated the dark comedy side of things surrounding death in my own life.  There needs to be a Jekyll-Hyde style emoticon for crying and laughing at the same time.  Get on it, Papa.

There are about 30 cars idling in the drive thru of this chickfila and God help me I’m one of them. 

Also there is raw sewage in the air.

That is extremely concerning.

A woman that i know complimented me on my appearance the other day and i blushed. When she noticed it seemed to weird her out a bit... I mean, I never blush and I certainly don't like her but it happened. This is someone I know but rarely see. Older woman in her later 50s She probably thinks I'm even weirder than i already am  

Maybe I should only be concerned if she sends me a valentines card??

There's this severely schizophrenic dude who comes into the 2nd hand shop I help run a couple of times a day looking for small items he trades or gives away. Usually I'll just let him take some things, maybe give him some clothes or booze and cigarettes to take with him, we have a weird chat and he's on his way. He's constantly psychotic to varying degrees so sometimes he's a bit of a handful but mostly things have been ok.  

However, some shit happened that made my colleague decide he doesn't want him to come into the shop anymore so the last couple of weeks when the dude tries to go in I meet him at the door, have a chat with him and explain that he can't come in anymore, he'll call me a cocksucker/nazi/wanker, and tries again the next day.
I feel bad for him as he's lost his main spot to get clothes and bartering items and additionally he became homeless a couple of days ago. So I'm tempted to let him come in again but I'd be sidelining my colleague (who isn't there when I'm working so basically wouldn't be directly affected but still) and although I'm not that bothered when people shout abuse at me the other day he spent a full 5 minutes yelling at me at the top of his lungs which annoyed me. I'm kinda torn because of pity and I have a soft spot for him but on the other hand he definitely crossed some lines and kinda feel there should be some consequences to his actions although he's so severely mentally ill that's probably pointless.     

2nd fwp; every time I write a long(ish) post I realise how inept I am at writing, this post took me like half an hour to write, jfc. 

Finally bit the bullet and setup an online dating profile.

Dying of boredom, 3 month summer holidays suck when your friends all live in north london and there's no station near you. Why can't uni just start already?! :(((

Good luck!

Thanks!

First girl I found with excellent music taste on this one site I'm trying had a bio that read simply "I'm a psychopath."  Perfect mate: "a psychopath."  

Music taste isn't  a crucial part or anything, but I don't have a lot to go by with most of these profiles beyond a photo and a boring bio.  The above is probably my favourite bio of the lot, but likely one setup by a spiteful ex.  But perhaps her sense of humour just aligns really well with my own and she's not actually a psychopath.  Or... maybe she is a psychopath looking for a psychopath.  I guess I'll never know.

Got a call from a nr I didn`t recognize and tried to call back with noone answering.  Come to find out it is a nr coming out of South Africa.  Quick googling and it appears to be wangiri scam where criminals make money as soon as you call them back. For a few seconds I was charged around 1 euro 50. Often they have a tape running with a waiting sound  so people make longer connections.  Slick shit.

Welcome to my world & RIP in peace

only thing I’ve wasted more time on than dating profiles is Facebook, and I gave up on Facebook a few years back. I see the dating apps going the same way soon enough. they work sometimes don’t get me wrong, but just general ugh.

sfwp: got drunk and slept in odd positions or something, hella sore neck and back and arm muscles this morning. 2old2drink

Do you guys pay for your profiles?  I got 5 likes on my okcupid profile, but can't view them unless I send money.

yeah don't ever pay. The likes thing you can't see is bullshit. Mine is up to 800 now lmao.

Last one i talked to was some 37yr old goth girl who I spammed my last tape to, because it's darkwave. She told me I'd look good with a haircut and a shave and then apropos of nothing said "ugh the problem with straight men" so I retaliated with "getting big brain vibes here, are you one of those people who thinks they're smarter than everyone else?" 

And that was the last I heard of her :^)

Hooo boy.  I'm not used to dealing with people who haven't been... naturally screened via my own social circles.  I'm afraid to find out just how insufferable people can be.  But my body is ready.

Yeah I spend 90% of my time on there handing out put downs tbh *sigh*

My plan was to hand out new parameter sets, but they might not get the reference.

i don't think i ever paid for any of the dating sites i've used. i know i haven't in the last yearish that i've restarted, don't think i had way back when either (had used okc for a while ~10 years ago). nothing wrong with spending cash on them but goddamn do they ask too much money for me to even consider it. if it was a couple bucks a month, maybe. but not at the prices they want, fuck all that. also haven't had any success so..... may be a bit of pay-to-play going on really. (they generally don't /force/ anyone to pay but obviously they can configure the rules and algorithms however the fuck they want to downgrade cheapos like us)

also lol at psychopath lady. kinda sad, but at least you know what you're getting with someone like that.

I don't think honesty is a typical psychopathic trait though. So she's probably lying. About being a psychopath.

But psychopaths lie all the time, so she probably doesn't realize she's a psychopath but actually is.

Everytime I attempt to say "OK cupid" out loud it comes out "OK computer".

It's prime event season at the casino/hotel/event center I work at. We have a fuckton of events going on in the event center all month into next. I basically don't get a day off until next weekend which is gonna be completely taken up by making a trip out to my brother-in-law's wedding, which doesnt really give me much of a weekend to relax, then we drive back, and it's straight back to work for another 5 days.

OK so I'm about to overshare massively, but I either write it here or in a drunk text to the person it's about. So here goes.

I've fallen head of heels for this much younger guy, who has no fucking idea I feel this way. And now he's started seeing someone else and it's fucking killing me.

Every time there is an event which could lead to something happening between us (again), I get horrifically drunk out of stress, and of course destroy my chances.

FML. 

Thank you for listening.

Haven't seemed to be able to accomplish anything today except buying shoes.

Trying to get my LZX Vidiot to work on multiple screens at my friend's bar. They have 3 tvs hooked up to a VGA splitter. I tried a component to VGA cable, but it didn't work, so I ordered a composite to VGA cable and it still didn't work. I even tested them directly to the tv before using the splitter. No result.

I remembered I had owned a composite to VGA box at one time (since I used a CRT tv as a computer monitor for a hot second) but now I can't find it, so I just spent another $40 to have one shipped tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I'll need to use a projector which is going to look like shit for the show on Saturday.

I tried to clean my car but I just kind of pushed the dirt around on it. Time for a car wash trip, I guess.
