y'know it's funny, but I buy any Saturn game I find in the wild that I don't own. And because of that I'm actually pretty excited even when I find sports cheapos that I have little interest in. Saturn collecting is just really fun.

I sorta kinda get where you are coming from. You see the irony in her situation, but not going full Nelson "Ha ha!" at her.

Since college, every girl I've been dumped by or had broken up with has gained enough weight to make them look like a different person. And I'm not referring to the weight everyone gets when they get older, I'm talking about some serious poundage.


Frown: My sleep schedule is totally out of sync. I keep waking up 4am-ish and can't fall back to sleep. I'd try a sleep aid, but I have sleep walking issues that make taking sleep aids a no-no. Once I'm up, I'm up, and that's no fun.

Sort of related, I found out this weekend from a friend that the girl I dated my entire sophomore year of college is on her third marriage. Which is sort of ironic because we pretty much broke up because she was focused on getting married while I was focused on drinking beer and playing videogames.


Whiskey. And plenty of it before bed and you won't have anymore sleeping issues.

Smile: Got my large fender dent pulled (mostly) out. It'll never be perfect, but for the cost of PDR, I'm happy with it. Takes a good look to realize it was there. Also put in my new speakers, a pair of 8" Focals. They sound great.

Ticked: The PO was an idiot and installed the previous speakers with no water protection, the crossovers just hanging out at the bottom of the door panel. Meaning any time it rained, or I washed the car, they both got soaked. This explains a lot of things, like my door rattle, and my electrical burning smell and head unit error.

Frown: I have a pretty major headache right now and I ran out of energy quite a while ago. Normally I stay up till around 1 am but tonight, at 6, I was ready for a snooze. Still am.

Smile: Not sure if I want to play Lego City or Monster Hunter tonight, but I'm happy that either is an option. Hopefully the game drought is pretty much done for now on WiiU.

Nah. You just suffer from the same thing I do: round face.

Or, as I'm sure grandma would have called it had I ever asked her: baby-fat-face.

It's probably why people still think I'm 10 years younger than I am.

He he he. Yeah, there are a bunch of idiots on CL. The worse are sellers who don't put any details in their ads.

I know you're joking, but that thought had crossed my mind.

So:

We left for Florida on Monday morning at around 5, and got into Orlando at 7pm. We stayed with my brother's ex and her grandparents. We moved into our new place the next day (it's in my and my grandmother's names), which is located in Vista Del Lago. We're still getting settled in, getting our bearings, and all that.

The weather's kinda chilly right now, due to a cold front that came in a few days ago. It's supposed to warm up soon.

I don't feel like going though all the things that are making me smile or ticking me off.

Hope it works out for the best Repo.

This should probably go in the random thoughts thread, but do any of you guys go to a church where there's a "shaking hands" or "Peace be with you" session? I'm a very social person and outside of church I'll be the first to initiate a conversation, but for some reason I can't stand that part of the service.

I'm going to see if the fist pump will play out well on Sunday.

Yep...and it is particularly uncomfortable for me because: (1) we are not particularly church-going peole; (2) we have small children; (3) the churches we attend are full of elderly people who fawn over them before and after the service; and (4) the session is generally followed by wistful "I wish you would bring these beautiful children more often" comments...

:oops: sorry...we'll try... :oops:

is my usual response.
