Please don't take this too seriously.

It's an idea but it's preferable when this "confrontation" (or it could be called negotiation) is done directly.

You're pissed? Take it out on the other guy (in a civil manner) otherwise it will turn inside and against you (and that's a major factor for depression).

I started up OkCupid again a week or so ago. So far the only person to message me is a porn bot. There are times when being a chick is easier.

[MOBIUS]

Have you messaged anyone?

[Lorizael]

No. Obviously, I need to do that. I'm just remarking upon the fact women don't need to message people on OkCupid. They're usually flooded with messages and have to choose to whom they respond.

[Lorizael]

Twelve years ago, I had a nickname for the evil bestfriend. It was just a silly elongation of her real name. We talked online pretty much everyday. We stayed up **** ass late and went to sleep at the same time. We had a ritual. I'd say, "Goodnight, Lady < EBF's nickname >," and she'd respond with, "Goodnight, Sir Lorizael." And usually there'd be some other faux olde tyme talk in there--"see you on the morrow," that kind of ****.

I'm reading A Dance with Dragons. I just encountered a character with EBF's nickname. So of course, now I'm re-(re-re-re-re-re-)reading old conversations with her, back when we were young and innocent and I had no idea what the **** was coming. I need a time machine. I hate myself. **** it all and ****ing no regrets.

Is it Reek? I bet it's Reek.

[Lorizael]

Yup. EBF's real name is Ree.

Yeah, they just have to choose between dozens of random guys sending them penis pictures.

[Lorizael]

That's why I've been sending testicle pics. Trying to stand out from the crowd.

Think that's old hat by now. Try drawing a funny face on it, shaving the pubes into a little beard and stuff. Ladies appreciate a little extra effort.

I've met a few dames off okc. Banged most of them. Actually dated a few of them. Would recommend.

Man, high school was dense. It's hard to believe how much happened during that span of my life. And all I've got are select online conversations from the time. Much of it hints at stuff I have almost no recollection of. There was so much happening all at once. And I was not equipped to handle all of it. Not at all.

The part that amazes me is that you actually keep all that stuff. Several dead machines (or hard drives) later and all that stuff would be gone. Or, I would just hit "delete".

[Lorizael]

Bytes are cheap. It's cost me essentially nothing to keep all those old logs (discounting the tremendous emotional strain). In fact, I keep everything from my old computer whenever I get a new computer, and every computer I've owned has had an order of magnitude more storage space than the previous one.

[Aeson]

Delete it all. Start fresh.
