Here's the greatestr pickup line I have ever heard (funniest, not really one to use - bolded for emphasized words):

Hey girl, let me get that butt out, one good time, and I will fuck

My friend actually said that to a girl... he had just met her and her and her friends were saying really foul and funny things so he said that.

So band practice went better than I expected. We covered one song, and I learned it quite well. They were really happy with what I played, they said it added something to the song that they hadn't ever imagined. Then afterwards we jammed and I started getting pretty solid with a really cool blues style, which I was also incorporating for the song.

Music.

Both prior pick up lines went WHOOOOOSH straight over my head lol

 

[TheAppleCore]

Yeah, I'm ashamed to admit I don't get the pickup lines either.

I'm kinda thinking that if I went to vocational school so that I might earn a living wage in a reasonably short period of time (and cure my assumed unemployability), I'd feel a lot better about myself, and I've even come up with an idea for a really cool art project I could work on, if I had a real income, as I'm closer to the UN than the US poverty line at present.

I hear ya there. The whole reason I'm so depressed right now is purely related to the fact that I have no decent job, and I'm still dependent on my parents in my early twenties...

I have been unemployed for months, really sucks! I'm trying to utilize the time but most of it goes out the window, making the depression even stronger, in turn making motivation harder. The ol' downward spiral.

I know what you mean. I think that it's actually kind of an illusion that being unemployed gives you extra free time. I've noticed that time spent on work or chores generally makes up for itself, because it feels good to take care of basic stuff, and puts you in a more productive mindset, so you spend what free time you have to MUCH greater effect.

If only my job weren't a complete pile of stinking garbage, I think I would actually enjoy working, for that reason.

Hey PD what do you think about this.

I'm getting some 1P-LSD in, and from what I hear one tab of these should be plenty. One of my favorite things to do on a psychedeilc tips is take a dissociative during the comedown. It adds a new dimension to the trip entirely, and is one of my favorite combos. You gotta be careful with dosing though, it's a bit easy to overdo it.

I don't have access to k or mxe, my dissos of choice. I've been hearing pretty nice things about ephenidine. I think I'm gonna take one tab of 1plsd and then take ~50mg oral of the ephenidine as the L wears off.. Maybe redose the eph as needed. It's a shame that there's such little info out there, though :/

Ahh haha I see!

Verily, verily. I always say that I have a torturous amount of free time, many people who lead productive lives seem to be under the egregious misconception that having nothing to do would make life more enjoyable (and thus, welfare is bad, because a decent citizen such as myself is forced to pay a bunch of lazy bastards for not working and living the easy life...y'all know that attitude).

^If I may say so, I have always loved your posting style, since before I began posting myself. That sentence fragment stream of consciousness stuff is part of what makes PD social Pd social.

Have you ever tried a dating site such as Ok Cupid? That's what I started doing a while after my ex and I broke up, and it worked quite well for me. You just upload some pictures and write a profile and ideally also answer a bunch of questions. It uses this information to suggest matches to you based on personality traits. And people are browsing your profile and you can browse theirs (though I've had the best luck waiting for someone to message me). The whole process makes it a lot easier to meet someone cool because you already know you have some things in common, and also because the initial stress of approaching a random person isn't there... you both know why you're on the site, so that part happens automatically.

If you choose to go that way, just make sure to put some thought into it and write a good profile. I'd recommend trying it, it's really worked for me and a couple of friends. Can't hurt to try and I think it gives you the best chance of meeting people worth dating of the available methods we have at our disposal.

^ My sister met her boyfriend on a dating website - not sure which one, possibly match.com - and they have a great relationship. I hear nothing but positive things from people that use dating sites.

nice colorful graffiti mostly about love and peace - there's Asheville for ya

I was thinking about moving to Asheville, but hesitated because I heard that there aren't a lot of great jobs there. Sounds like an awesome town though. Happy belated birthday Xork -- looks like you had a good one!

...

Well, I'm not exactly an authority on relationships, because I've never had one myself. :D But then again, I feel pretty comfortable with that. I just feel like I haven't been ready yet, and it'll happen when I get a little older, more independent, more self-confident, etc. I'm patient. If I were in your situation, I might ask myself, "do I really truly want a relationship now, or do I just feel guilty because of the cultural stigma attached to being single, or being a virgin?" Because if it's the latter: A) I'm guessing you're not going to get too much traction, because that's not real passion, that's just self-consciousness, and people can sense that; and B) fuck society and its obsession with sex.

However, if it's the former, I don't think you'll have any difficulties, if you're patient and persistent. At least from what I can tell online, you're a very insightful guy with a good personality and good heart, and that's way more important than being a muscle-y rapacious womanizer (lol). Yeah, sure, you might have your insecurities or anxieties, but we all do, and trust me, there are people that are WAY further off the rails that have found love.

...

Ouch, I would imagine that would be pretty hurtful.

It depends on your qualifications. There are a lot of jobs here but it probably depends on what you're qualified for as to whether or not there are great jobs. A lot of places have agreed to pay a "living wage", which is considered to be I think $11.50 an hour. The cost of living here is cheaper than anywhere else I've lived but more expensive than everywhere close to here for sure. It's a great place though, lots of intangible benefits such as all kinds of cool people and some of the best nature to be found in the US, and a great music scene.

 

[TheAppleCore]

^ What kind of industry is most successful in Asheville, do you reckon?

And yeah, being close to beautiful nature is the main selling point for me. Nature heals the soul.

 

[Xorkoth]

Lots of tourism related stuff... lots of outdoor related stuff. I don't know, a lot goes on here. Like I said it depends on your qualifications and skillset, it's also a little hard for me to say with authority because I moved here with the same job I still have - I just gathered an opinion from friends and acquaintences. I just asked samadhi_smiles (he lives in my extra bedroom) and he didn't have a lot to add, I know he gets pretty decently paying jobs of various sorts when he's around here.

 

[Thorns Have Roses]

Man, I couldn't even make it through my own post, but it looked like an unusually pathetic rant, even for me. Please unquote it. I feel like strangling a wine bottle, for making my mood way worse and then giving me the compulsion to hemorrhage the mud it's kicked up. Oh well, it's not as bad as sobriety.

I asked my psych if we could try putting me on a different GABAergic, like gabapentin or something, but he's like I can't do anything about that, you have to go see a doctor specializing in addiction, and I'm just like fuck it, not another specialist (they resent my having money in my wallet and want to break me with copays I can't afford). Ay ay ay.

A lot of places have agreed to pay a "living wage", which is considered to be I think $11.50 an hour.

Assuming you can find full-time employment, right? Even then, what neighborhood are you going to be in....'course my sense of the cost of living is tuned to the Los Angeles area. I suppose that's what roommates are for, unless you're of an anchorite persuasion.

 

[Xorkoth]

It's not pathetic to wish for a romantic companion. I'll remove the quote though.

Asheville isn't very large so which neighborhood you live in is sort of irrelevant, unless you don't have a car of course. My friends rent a 3 bedroom apartment (townhome) for $600 a month. Pretty cheap with 2 people. Where I'm from that's unheard of.

 

[swilow]

Oh yeah, happy b'day Xorkoth Sounds like you had a ripper....

 

[TheAppleCore]

Thorns I didn't think your post was pathetic... look at it this way, you've gotten farther than I have in the romance department. :D But if you don't want to discuss it I understand.

My friends rent a 3 bedroom apartment (townhome) for $600 a month. Pretty cheap with 2 people. Where I'm from that's unheard of.

Damn... $600 / month in total, split between two people? That's insane. Where I'm looking, it's almost impossible to find a single room for less than $700 a month.

 

[Solipsis]

Xorkoth happy birthday man!

Sorry I didn't reply to your post, I really tend to lag behind on the social thread discussion...

 

[Yeetbeat]
