Re: The Noodle Compound
time to farm me some troll fat/skin/skulls.
I'll be bach
ah, I miss my co-worker. I worked with this guy (who sat at Fat Man's register and ****ed with his crap) who was a total gamer/internet nerd. I thought he didn't like me at first, but we warmed up to each other once we talked about games and stuff. I miss him as we'd talk about rage comics, Fat Man, talk about pranking him and wanting to put a troll face on his monitor, etc. Now I sit at Fat Man's register on Saturdays and his drawer where you keep the paper clips, stapler, labels, etc? OMG, IT STINKS! idk why, but it does! i keep that thing shut!
Nothing worse than being told that you need to enable someone.
this reminds me of how much i felt like a little ***** yesterday.

long story short, a customer made me so angry that i cried and i felt like i lost some dignity when I had to walk back the five steps to my counter to take her money. All because I can multi-task and was going to help another customer. To make matters worse, she talked **** about me to the customer behind her after I left to get a basket and said something along the lines that making five dollars an hour isn't worth it, or how I make five dollars an hour... all bull**** and I hope she had a heart attack while driving in the rain last night.
I know how you feel, not so much this weekend or week for me, but it's happened before.
I'm doing well, looking forward to a little vacation I'm planning on taking soon. Should be a good time to rejuvenate and think about some stuff.
dude me too!! If I can't go to England this year (and i most likely can't), then Leo needs an out-of-state trip! Maybe i'll swing by CO and check out the slopes... and Modsteg's cute butt! XD jk, jk! but i know what you mean by vacation.
Gotcha. For some reason I always associate "vacation" with taking a trip. :hammerhead:
Very condensed version:
I was going to be an English teacher once upon a time. The Columbine massacre happened right around the time I was wrapping up my degree. Lost my stomach for everything I'd worked so hard for. I decided to travel for awhile and try to sort my head out. I didn't mean to fly the coup for as long as I did, but for some reason it was a long time before I finally wanted to go 'home'.
I'll stop here since I'd rather not spread my melancholy/winter blues. I actually just meant to lurk and amuse myself with the bad jokes, teasing and weird topics. Speaking of which, this thread is severely lacking in all three atm! I will have to ask Blob or JM to drop by and streak the thread if this keeps up.
well, thank god you are alive!!! in more ways than one. i've been trying to get a hold of you and no answer and it's getting to the point of where I get worried.

I left a recorded message, but idk if you got it.

sorry i've been bugging you. and don't worry, Dredd. Winter will be over soon enough, the snow will melt, the banks will be flooded, and it will be warm again and you will hate it. XD hmm... maybe I should take a vacation in MN? :scratchchin:
Too much freaking perspective! Found another story - apparently he's in a part of Somalia that is trying to break off and form its own country. The nominal president of the breakaway area is threatening military action, and the pirates are threatening to take him to a ship they've captured offshore.
If he makes it back, I see a possible movie script. Bastich better make it back.
The New York Times version of the story references him at the end, albeit not by name. As a freelance journalist, he's technically not an employee of any company, although his work regularly appears in Der Spiegel. I talked to his mother yesterday, and she's pretty much in the dark. So strange to have someone you know be in the middle of something like this.

Noodle, I hope everything is okay and he makes it out!!
okay, Jcakes, to answer your question publicly....
I told HMB last night that I was seeing another man and nothing was serious, exclusive, I was just getting to know him like I was with HMB. I was dating, wanting to take things slow, get to know people, etc. I told him because I wanted to be honest, fair, nd upfront. I don't have the texts anymore because my inbox was filling up and it makes my phone slow, but he said, "That's disappointing, but okay. Blahblahblah, This is something you're going to have to address sooner or later." Well, that freaked me out because... well, i've been put in a situation where I had to choose between two men, I never did and it didn't end so well with either one of them. and now, I feel like I am in that situation again where I have to pick between the two and I'm like, "Dude, I just want to get to know you and hang out because you appealed to me! I don't want anything!" So... date got moved to Sunday because my friend Elle is having a going away party.

I'm nervous and yes, OTG knows. He pretty much feels, "we aren't exclusive and we're just trying to get to know each other as friends."
uggghhhh... "Mexican goulash" anyone? All it is really is spiced meat, pasta, and veggies (tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, bell pepper).
