I still don't understand how you got locked in a house. How does that happen? Why didn't you call the cops? What is wrong with you?

Because I didn't realize I was locked in until fairly late on. I thought that, like any edifice designed by sane people, it was openable from the inside without the key even when locked.

I dunno, this is probably because I'm an idiot but I feel like this is something that can be resolved if we just talk it out. It's a loving insane situation but 99% of my interactions with her have been fantastic and this is literally just a cascading spiral of people making dumb decisions.

Yeah I was actually locked in starting about 12 hours before my drunkposting spree, so ~36 hours? Not quite 2 days actually but still. I didn't *notice* till after I woke up yesterday, because I didn't try to leave prior (because I was under the impression they were coming back at some point and wasn't genuinely in fear of being imprisoned long-term), but I was imprisoned for a fair while.

And yes I am severing, gently caress this noise. I really don't need this bullshit. Mario was giving me sage advice when he called them a fake rear end ho.

Regular Show is one of those shows that would be 100x better if they elimanted the main characters and focused on the secondary characters. Specifically I want the Pops show.

I dunno, I actually like the less overtly silly characters a little more. Mordecai, Rigby, etc just being normal people with... odd appearances and odd circumstances kind of gives it a feel similar to Achewood or Jason's comics (though I'm only familiar with Werewolves of Montpellier) and lets the show pull off a lot of more subtle humor, unlike Adventure Time's nonstop parade of bizarre poo poo.

It actually just clicked for me that Regular Show is pretty much a more kid friendly Achewood.

Oh christ no, that particular plot thread got really tired really fast. They replaced her with a semi-new character, CJ, though, and the episodes with them kiiiinda own so far because she's actually a character and not just a plot device.

So my date went extremely well, and as far as I can tell the girl is perfectly sane. We originally planned on going to get food and catching Guardians of the Galaxy last night but we ended up just smoking a bunch of weed and cuddling and listening to music.

How is this going to horribly backfire on me, I wonder.

Stop it. It's funny for us because it's not happening to us. It's not funny for you. You're a loving moron and you need to get your poo poo together, dating and otherwise. This shouldn't just be a "hilarious adventure" for you, it should be a wake-up call.

Okay, since apparently I need to justify every thing I say now:

I'm not talking to the girl who did that anymore, I very very thoroughly severed.

I signed up for classes at the community college near my home so I can try and unfuck my academics without inflating my student loans any more than I already did.

My parents are still asshats about my brain problems but I found a place for therapy that I can afford with my current paycheck even without putting it on the insurance, so I'm getting that worked on.

I've even started working out a little and trying to be more active.

What else could I possibly be doing? Like, I'm genuinely open to suggestions here, because it seems like I'm getting just about everything that needed to be taken care of, taken care of.

(If you're wondering why I haven't posted about these things, maybe it's because, shock of the loving century, that's not the part that I find even remotely interesting to talk about on an internet comedy forum!)

Physician, heal thyself.

I'm not trying to be snarky. But you're going out on a date literally days after you spent 36 hours locked in a New Orleans crackhouse. You're identifying as both bi and poly, and there's nothing wrong with that, but you're 20 years old and also talking about living in an abusive home. You've got some real baggage going on -- get yourself together before you worry about being with someone else. (Kicking the weed for a little while might not be a bad idea, either.)

I don't identify as poly, I was kind of dragged into that one. :v:

I do get what you're saying, though, and I sorta agree, but on the other hand I feel like having an active social life and getting out of the house more can only do me good. And so far, it really has, there's just not that many options for social poo poo here for someone who isn't 21 other than "go on dates with OKCupid girls" and "hang out with other people from high school who ended up in poo poo situations."

e: Also, firstly, it was my then-girlfriend's house (not a total stranger's crackhouse jesus christ), and I didn't even get thaaat drunk (I exaggerated because that's a thing I do when I tell stories for the amusement of strangers on an internet comedy forum sometimes!), just enough that I felt the need to go to bed early.

It's kind of odd when people talk about Guardian being a nice change of pace. I haven't seen it yet, but none of the Marvel movies are all that grimdark and most of them are just silly fun action movie.

The best way I can think of to put it is that, even if most of the other Marvel movies are silly and fun too, Guardians is way more focused on comedy than the others are. It also has a really unique aesthetic and a soundtrack consisting of oldies elevator music.

Like, yeah Guardians isn't that out of the ordinary, but it's still pretty noticeably different from the ISO standard Marvel mold, even moreso than the other Phase 2 movies.

Yeah dude, Great Destroyer was crazy. Seeing it live in '08 on the Lights in the Sky tour was one of the best concert experiences I've ever had in my life, and this brought back so many memories of that but also made new ones because I think the song was longer tonight and the visuals had been updated a bit for this tour.

The Day The World Went Away was a hell of a nice surprise. A ton of people were filing out right before it started (I guess they weren't expecting an encore for some reason?) and some of them left anyway after it started. I was thinking "poo poo, this is a lot of people who don't care about hearing the Terminator Salvation trailer song."

I really wish Great Destroyer worked at all outside of a live context, because I tried to listen to it in the car earlier and without the visuals it's just pretty much a couple minutes of a good song, "I AM THE GREAT DESTROOOOOYEEEEEER" and then like 3 minutes of random electronic noise.

It's kinda funny, Great Destroyer is one of my least favorite NIN songs and Reptile is one of my favorites just looking at studio versions, but I loving love the former live and I was really kind of underwhelmed by the latter other than "oh poo poo they're playing Reptile".

e: I also ended up not really liking The Day The World Went Away live. It doesn't really work that well when it's slower and softer rather than being a full-on sensory assault like the studio version.
