Given my conversations with her, you're right.  She is a sex addict, one who's trying to reform (but having a lot of problems changing her life).

The thing is, she's hot and I haven't had sex in a looooooooooooong time.  I also don't want a relationship with her, just friendship and sex.  Which I shouldn't have because of her personality/issues.

I am a bad man.   :banghead

There is no way to put this that isn't blunt, but here goes:

Porn exists for a reason.  It's cheaper than hookers, it carries no risk of infection, nor does it have psychotic episodes on you.  Sex is nice, but it isn't worth years or a lifetime of possible complications.  Everyone's addicted to it a little, but they aren't necessarily addicted to sex so much as orgasm.  You don't need a partner for orgasm.  ;)

And now that I have offended and embarrassed everyone I shall leave you  :D

Porn is nowhere near as satisfying as sex.  I don't want sex for orgasms, I want sex for the physical intimacy with a woman.

Don't worry, I have the ability to make decisions that make me hate myself, aka pass up sex with hot women.

While I normally don't complain about campers, I have to bitch about Grifball campers.


In the Reach-based levels, there are often ledges behind each team's spawn points that can be jumped upon easily by the ball carrier. Once he's up there, the enemy has only one way to attack him: In force, while slaughtering his entire team. If you can't do so, they stall up there until the round ends (even during Overtime). Even getting to him is hazardous, but once you do you also have to contend with his ability to melee you. And Tzeentch forbid he drops the bomb in a corner, because you cannot get it without getting Hammerlaunched or a well-timed lunge with the sword. And the worst ones are the ones that do this right off the bat, without even scoring a single point.

The thing is, Grifball is supposed to be a Halo-based virtual sport. How sporting is it to just time out the clock without scoring at all? Spawn-camping at least has opportunities for the players to escape without needing extreme luck. The Ball Campers aren't even playing; they're just sitting there watching other people play for 15 minutes.

Fucking assholes.

Ugh. Driving in the snow.

I guess I should get used to this. We're supposed to get a lot of snow this winter.

I haven't seen snow for over 10 years.

I live in upsate New York. We normally have a snow-storm by before Thanksgiving.

We haven't this year. Which means that it will probably keep snowing til May.

I miss snow...

I've seen more hail here in Florida than I have an Oklahoma-winter. I really do miss living there.

I live in Texas.

Winter thought it was here and we got a lot of cold rain and drizzle.  Then it went away and fall came back.

I really need to get the hell out of this apartment and the people I'm living with.  The way things are going I'm about ready to drop two friends of mine, one of which I've known for ten years.

Unfortunately, doing that would require finally being able to get a car and a job.   :banghead

This is basically what happened here in Austria, except it's supposed to be below freezing and windy as hell at this time. I'm not complaining.

I live in Calgary, Alberta.  Winter arrived and dumped snow everywhere, then the chinook kicked its ass for a few days, but winter is back again.  It's looking like a white Christmas this year...

BG_Josh, more egotistical and enraging to me than Sunic.  At least Sunic's smiting provided amusement from time to time.

It's harder to correct being cold than being warm. That might come from living in a warm area though.

Keeping warm: You put on a pair of thick socks and a warm hat.

Keeping cool: You can only remove that much clothing before the police apprehends you for disrupting the public.
