I recommend Toronto for one reason only: you can hang with me!


...or not...

djchameleon 05-30-2011 10:41 AM

or like skip Canada all together because it's the root of all evil!

FETCHER. 05-30-2011 10:41 AM

I'm 19 anyway, I just wasn't sure if some places were 21 in Canada. Quebec actually sounds like my kind of place. I'll look into it, cheers Thom.

To answer the iPod questions:
It's silver.
It almost certainly does belong to a girl because it's named "yvonne".
It's got a total of 408 songs on it (2.1GB used).
I kinda want to give it back to yvonne but I don't want to put up a craigslist ad just to have people call me to get a free iPod - and I don't wanna bother with making people prove to me it's theirs.
Now I'm wishing I had just left it on the ground.

s_k 05-30-2011 02:47 PM

Can't you just not put your phone number up on Craigslist?
I never do this on the dutch version of that site. They can e-mail me.
Don't put a pic up there, don't put a name on there, only when an yvonne mails you and if she can tell you at least 5 uncommon artists that are on it, give it to her.

On the other hand, I'd probably just keep it or give it away.

Stacey. 05-30-2011 04:27 PM

Done nothing all day :L Watched BGT though :')

I think putting your personal phone number on Craigslist is crazy. I just put my email up there if I have to use it. Also a pic of whatever I'm advertising, not of myself of course.

s_k 05-30-2011 04:54 PM

Unless you'd want to sell yourself.
I'll be your first bidder :D.

EvilChuck 05-30-2011 04:58 PM

Dayvan Cowboy 05-31-2011 05:51 PM

Dayvan Barnett | Facebook set up a facebook for all of my MB friends because mom thinks you're all rapists.

and yeah, the barnett part is a reference to jack barnett. deal with it.

EvilChuck 05-31-2011 05:58 PM

lol I notice that one of the people you've added is s_k... and you want to try and convince your mum we're not all weirdos? (love you s_k xox)

FETCHER. 05-31-2011 05:59 PM

Lol. I'll add you.

Edit: I'm Rafael.

ThePhanastasio 06-01-2011 12:25 AM

Today, I played a lot of guitar, had a water balloon / water hose fight with my mom and little sister, listened to the Phish show streaming live, and found out my great-grandmother has skin cancer.

In this case, I don't think the good outweighs the bad, but I will say that I had a lot of fun with the guitar, water balloons, and Phish.

He posts this right after he adds me to facebook.
Adding some weirdo's to make up for your normal friends, are you? :D.
I thought it was really sweet Dayvan added me as a second friend. Yay :D

Mykonos 06-01-2011 06:51 AM

I've just returned from a four-day holiday up in Cumbria. It was nice, although there wasn't a lot to do. For that reason, I basically spent the whole thing either playing snooker, playing the harmonica or finally catching up on all the 2011 music I've had piling up, so I might finally have something to talk about here.

The Virgin 06-01-2011 09:12 AM

Today, same old routine in the office. Get in front of the computer, do some work, chat sometime and I'm about to go off an hour from now. Nothing really special.

Stacey. 06-01-2011 03:12 PM

It's been alright. I got up quite late, probably around like 12pm and haven't done much since at all. It's good doing nothing. :)

ThePhanastasio 06-01-2011 04:34 PM

Chilled with my friend, smoked a bit, went to play pool, then ate Boca Burgers while listening to The Grateful Dead.

Good day.

[MERIT] 06-01-2011 04:52 PM

Dealing with divorce paperwork. Statement of Property, Statement of Income and Expenses, Notice of Mediation, Child Support forms, etc. Pure hellish bullsh*t. I don't see why Uncle Sam needs to have such a large hand in my personal relationship with my (soon to be ex) wife.

ThePhanastasio 06-01-2011 06:55 PM

Shiit. Director's making casting calls as we speak for the show I auditioned for. Haven't gotten my call yet. My friend just called me upset because he wasn't cast.

Now I'm having a heart attack waiting for my call. Damn. I did NOT read well. :(

That sucks, man. Good luck throughout your adventure.
I don't want to trivialize your situation or poke fingers, but it's stuff like this that makes me very happy to be unmarried.
I know not all marriages end in disaster, but I have polled many "happily" married friends and even they say I shouldn't get married.

So far, I'm pretty goddamned happy with the decision!
But in the interest of knowledge, what would you say went wrong with your marriage, and what advice would you have for someone who may be considering tying the noose... er.. knot?

When assessing what went wrong, it tends to both piss me off and sadden me, because most of it was out of my control.

Not that it was a contributing factor, but my wife is medically diagnosed as bipolar and paranoid schizophrenic. It's not her fault, so I cannot hold it against her, nor have I ever tried to. She sometimes decided to hate me out of the blue and was not always in her right frame of mind. This made it hard for both of us, but I love her regardless and worked through it.

--She was having a bipolar episode 2 summers ago, and her father and I had no choice but to have her committed to a mental hospital against her will. She was awake for over a week straight, having lucid conversations with her dead relatives and drawing all over herself with markers. I was extremely worried about her safety. Even though it was for her own good, she held the hospital stay against me from that day forward.

--Back in June of 2009 I was diagnosed with epilepsy. She saw my seizures as a burden on her, having to "babysit" me as she put it.

--She refused to work, and I did not make enough to pay all of the rent and the bills (most of which were hers), so we were forced to move in with family. She resented me for not being as good of a provider as she deserved.

--I lost my job earlier this year due to taking a medical leave for my epilepsy, and she again resented me for this.

--She says that I was not supportive enough of her post-partum depression after having our son, she resented me for that. I did everything I could, but it's hard to help a problem that is in someone's head. I did what I could, but she was really shut off and distant, so there wasn't much that I could do.

--In summation, it was mostly her resentment towards me that did us in. She told me that if I made more money and could afford our own apartment then she wouldn't have filed for divorce (really make's me feel loved you know).

As far as any tips? If considering tying the not, remember that you also have enough rope to hang yourself. Choose wisely.

Damn, man.. that's what I'd call non-standard circumstances.
Well hopefully things get better for both of you. But it's one of those things you can never fully get away from, I guess, what with the kid and all.

I agree with the choose wisely bit. Personally, I'm far too cognizant of my own faults to let some poor girl be fooled into tying the knot with me. By the time I'm ok with myself, I'll probably only have a pool of cougars with a lot of baggage to pick from, though.

Flyingpig437 06-02-2011 11:15 AM

Some guys my dad asked to mend the washing machine turned up at the door a bit back wanting to repair the aerial. I've rang my folks on their mini-break and the upshot is that when they come back my dad's told me to just tell them he doesn't want them 'anywhere near his house' and they've to 'go away' and that they're 'usless'! Mmmmmh!

duga 06-02-2011 12:47 PM

Finally got a lot of things that have been on the back burner taken care of. I've signed up for classes (going back after nearly 3 years...yikes) and I have potentials for my committee. I'm starting to feel like a real grad student...

EvilChuck 06-02-2011 01:33 PM

Some amateur tried to rob a bank round my way. He did this by strapping a bomb to himself, and taking hostages inside the bank... before letting them go and staying in the bank alone, threatening to detonate the bomb. It turned out that the bomb was 'not a viable device' AKA it was a pretend bomb.

Where I work is a choice of RBS, Halifax, NatWest, Nationwide, HSBC, Barclays, Abbey National... he chose to try and rob the Co-Op bank.

As I said, total amateur.

FETCHER. 06-02-2011 01:45 PM

lol I just overheard that on sky news. But I was too busy occupying myself on facebook.

EvilChuck 06-02-2011 01:50 PM

That means you now know where I live!

FETCHER. 06-02-2011 01:56 PM

This has got to be the most depressing Thursday of the year by far. The first time since last December I've not been to the pub. No petrol. No money. No social life. Everyones going aswell. I never drink on a Thursday either, that's whats pissing me off more. The fact I can't even afford to not drink. FML.
