    What’s an artist like on an s s r i?

    • boring. i've always hated them, gone through a few. but apparently i'm more tolerable in person on them, which matters less to me than art.colin_s
    • shrink recommended it, I was a bit surprised :/ feels like a scary prospect. respect your work colin so it’s nice to get your POVnotype

    Going clubbing tonight, spontaneously. The DJ is 57yo.

    Had a horrible week, I'm under contract for 40 hours a week, but I'm given 55 hours of work, projects going haywire, couldn't sleep all week, having trouble selling a property in Texas cause so much fukin' paperwork, blah, blah, blah...

    Who'd a thought staying out all night Saturday doing cocktails of chemicals I hadn't done in two dozen years and hitting underground clubs would be the perfect reset. I feel reborn!

    Visiting Madrid next month (alone)

    What’s to do?
    Which QBNers can I say hello to?
    Art to see? Places to run? Trails/Hills to climb?

    I paid £125 about 5 years ago now for one of these opho keyboards on indigogo. Still not received the damn thing. I send them an email once a year asking when the fuck I'll get the product I paid for so many years ago, looks like they've finally stopped responding with bullshit excuses.

    Wankers. That's the first and probably the last time I participate in crowd funding...

    My very good friend in NYC introduced me to her brother that I had never met before. Turns out, we like each other and he head over heels for me. It feels amazing but is also very new. We've been talking all day, every day since (texts, calls, facetime) ever since. My friend definitely encouraged this when I visited New York earlier this month.

    Here's where I pause -- my friend and her brother are extremely close. I'm afraid if it doesn't work out I could lose a friend or drastically change the friendship I adore. In the same breath, I also feel like I could possibly opt out of something really good for me if all my "what ifs" take the wheel. I'm not a savage, but I just got out of a 12 year relationship and I'm dating for the first time in a long time. I'm not sure he can handle the pacing I'd need to commit. Some of the things he says leads me to believe he's really serious about how he feels about me. i just don't want to jump into the wrong serious thing even though it feels good.

    He does live in another state (not New York where i frequent) about 1500 miles away. So, if were to make it work he'd have to move because I have no interest in where he lives. He has expressed the willingness to move if a long distance thing gets too difficult. But how long can that really last before we have to make a decision to be in the same city together? That definitely intensifies the seriousness of the situation because if he does move we would immediately be living together. What would you do?

    • ha - i met my wife thru my sister. i remember walking into a pub to meet my sister and sitting next to her was this gorgeous woman.hans_glib
    • i knew then and there i would spend the rest of my life with this woman. it did get a bit awkward with my sister, as she 'lost' a good friend to her brother...hans_glib
    • if he's that mad for you, he'll wait as long as you need him to. if it's just an infatuation, taking your time means he'll get bored and go. either way, win winhans_glib
    • That last bit is a bit black and white, hans. Pretty sure you can be mad for someone but get bored of waiting and move on...set
    • IMO You're in honeymoon phase, so much logistics, possible complexity, you need patience of the highest order.robotron3k
    • omg ... 1500 miles isn’t a “make it work” situation. At best you can have some fun but I say keep the friend and don’t start a relationship with her bromonospaced

    I got drunk last night and apparently thought it was a good idea to try and cut my hair. I've lopped off about 4 inches.

    That was not a good idea.

    It's come out about as well as you'd imagine.

    Just sent an email to a best friend I've not been in contact with for too long - we've been back and forthing about life plans, etc, and I ended up having a bit of a rant about options in a post-Brexit world, leading to some vehement outpouring about the cretins who voted for it.

    I hit send before remembering that he was one of the cretins who voted for it.

    • plead mental-breakdown and show him your haircut as proofGnash

    I'm seeing the most beautiful woman at the moment. I've seen her around town for years and always had her very vaguely in the back of my mind, that beautiful long dark haired English rose that I see from time to time gliding through the laines here in Brighton.

    Well, now I've been seeing her for a few months and honestly I don't know what's wrong with me. She was over tonight, being fun and seductive and cute as ever, and all I wanted her to do was fuck off so I could smoke a joint a watch YouTube and shit.

    She's perfect, and I genuinely appreciate the friendship and connection we've built, but I'm not even all that bothered about having sex with her. I just wanted it over and done with and her gone so I could sit by myself and enjoy being. Doing what I do by myself.

    The me a year ago would have punched the me today in the face, for sure.

    • Didn't you tell us a very similar story before about a beautiful girl that moved away??robotron3k
    • Maybe she also wants to smoke weed and watch youtube videos, you should tell her. Open communication = secret to relationships.zarkonite
    • I believe firmly in being totally open, often to a fault :) Sadly she doesn't smoke. It's not really about that though. Though not sure really what it's about..set
    • Can I delete this post now. I smoked that joint and exploded my brain feelings onto qbn :)set

    I was talking to a local organization about supporting our March for Science event with a sponsorship, and the woman hadn't returned my phone calls after initially saying they "likely would sponsor."

    She answered my call, perhaps by accident, and then said "Oh hi sara-" and *click* hung up. Didn't answer again.

    I get it that it's hard to say 'no' but just fucking say no so I don't have to waste my time calling your ass. Be a fucking professional.
