To be honest, I really did not like the job, but I wasn't quite fully appreciative of the fact that I actually had a fucking job and am now sort of ... fucked.

My sentiments exactly. Unemployment is not good. I may have disliked the work, the other people working there may have disliked me, there may have been a high chance of assault from customers...but still, it was a job.

Yeah...I bailed out of the job when my manager was assaulted and the hotel trashed by some really nice people. I'd been threatened by various customers before then.

So, I have a 13 year old cousin on my Facebook now, a situation I would normally never, ever allow to happen. But as it goes, the poor kid's father died last year and she spent a lot of time coming to me and my sister for support lately, so I kinda felt like I was stuck with adding her, particularly since she just changed schools and cities on top of all that. Besides, I zealously guard and cherry pick what information I put up there, so no big deal. What I didn't expect was that this whole thing would be kind of adorable. She apparently met some boy at school and ended up changing her status to "In A Relationship." This status update apparently lasted all of 4 hours before being rendered obsolete by tween drama. I'm kinda glad I never had Facebook at that age.


That said, I suspect this will be a lot less endearing when she inevitably starts forwarding me a million quizzes a day or something. Oh well.

hello blog thread,

it is 5:14 am here. i am pulling an all nighter and listening to a lot of black flag and managing to write some surprisingly coherent sentences for my nanowrimo novel! i'm still behind schedule by uh about 8000 words but at this rate, that's not gonna last very long.  i am pretty impressed with myself right now. i usually can't force myself to stay up this late working, even when it's absolutely necessary.  but i'm finding it kind of easy at the moment.
self-improvement! woot!

love,
anna

biiiirthdaaay!

gratz!


So, apparently the whole group for our part of the play is going to show up. We were expecting 4 out of 6 to show up, with one guy out due to the pig plague and one out due to exhaustion (sounded more like "exhaustion", but I'm not the kind of guy that judges*). Strindberg is a fun guy, and surrealism is kinda fun to work with, although we haven't really had time to figure out what we want to do with this stuff.

That's the downside with how we work most of the time - we get a play, and study technique and do the play, but we seldom spend much time figuring out what we want to do with the play. We usually get graded on reflection over the symbolism in the play, but we make up the symbolism afterwards (as in "well, that scene could be interpreted as a comment on the evil we human go through every day"). It's inevitable when our teacher wants us out on the floor creating theatre from the second we've read through the play. I know the idea behind the play is supposed to be thought out beforehand by the director, but when we direct ourselves, we need time to figure out what we want to do with this.

Another problem is that people think that surrealism means that there shouldn't be anything in the play that's comprehensible, while the point of surrealism is that you have a point that you express with unrealistic and often absurd means. So it all falls through as a play with no proper content.

TL;DR: I prefer Brecht to Hollywood.

Man guys. All I can say is that a certain song by The Monks is very appropriate right now. You know, except for the people dying for me part.

Actually, on a bigger scale than me, Fresh Air, which is the radio station I'm being a big part of this year had their Twist and Shout night tonight, which means we played music from the 50s and 60s and people danced to said music. It was fucking awesome. The club was absolutely packed in a way that we couldn't let more people in (some of the fresh air members who were working on the door weren't allowed in because it was so full) and lots of people were dressed up in 50s 60s getups. Also, a soul/ jazz band played and it was fan-fucking-tastic.

Man, cute girls. Why is it that once I'm entering relationships they start acting interested?

Friends with benefits is all about sexual contexts. You are friends but you don't do romantic coupley things. You just hang out occasionally and have bunches of monkey sex.
So I have heard.

the fun parts of a relationship without the commitment and work that also go into a conventional monogamous relationship, pretty much.

it's not a bad thing but oh man oh goodness do not do this unless you're 100% certain you're both on the exact same page because while it has the potential to be really fun and awesome when it does work, it seems like maybe 90% of the time it doesn't work at all and everything is horrible forever because too many assumptions are made and one person ultimately becomes more invested in the relationship than the other and starts wanting commitment in return and man what the heck i thought we were both single what is going on i don't want these problems in my life. tread very lightly, have lots of long and boring talks about your feelings and never assume anything. then you're okay i think.

Whoa!  You're making it sound like friends with benefits is just as much work as a relationship.  It only is at first, and then only if you want to do it right.



If it's not in a sexual context then maybe your friend lets you borrow his/her record collection, like, ALL THE TIME?  I really don't know how it could not be in a sexual context.

Just a friend that she kisses sometimes? Is it okay if we do things together like if weare a couple or do I have to resrain myself from flirting with her too much?

in my experience it can also mean doing "couply" things like asking them out to lunch or dinner or going to parties with them as your date, which i suppose friends also do all the time but in this case it skips the "whoa does he/she like me?" awkwardness a bit because you already know you like each other, you're banging all the time. i guess defining what friends with benefits means also depends on people's definition of what "relationship" is though, because generally in relationships i think about the long term whereas in friends with benefits scenarios i just think about what's enjoyable right now and make sure the other person feels the same way, so i don't really consider any of my short term flings to have been relationships whereas the guys in question might disagree with me there if i asked them. for me it's basically the fun parts of a relationship with none of the commitment.

Ok blog thread. If you want to hear about bar hopping, then this is the post for you. If you don't, well, read it anyways or don't. You won't hear about how I ended the night at a gay leather fetish bar.

Ok. So this afternoon I was all hyper and really wanted to go out since last night was a bit of a bust, so I text two of my friends to see if they want to go to a bar tonight, both said yes. One of them said her roommate and his bf would also like to come, which is awesome because I love them both. So we go to our usual haunt and the front room was full because of a band, so we head to the back room, which was crowded because of karaoke. Well, the karaoke was terrible and after we finished our drinks and chatted for a bit, we decided to head to a different bar on the street. (There are a LOT of bars on this street.) The next one we go to was virtually empty and there was some DJ playing the weirdest stuff (like it'd go from trance to metal to drum and bass and so on). I didn't get a drink, but the others did, so we hung around until they all finished and decided to move on, but we didn't know where. We didn't want to go to this one gay bar because it's PACKED on Thursdays due to being both ladies night and also karaoke night and we didn't want to go to some of the other ones since we knew they would be virtually empty like the one we were currently in. One of my friends brings up this bar called Serpent, saying it's a great bar and is actually kind of a great place. I knew where Serpent was, but I'd never really known what it was, because you couldn't see in the windows. I told her this and then she says that's because it's a gay male leather fetish bar. I was all "whut" but the two guys thought it sounded interesting and since my friend doesn't tend to exaggerate, we all agree to head there. Well, she was right. The place had a gorgeous bar, the bartender was really nice, and the drinks were really good. Only problem was there were no other women there. None. Zip. And the men there kept staring. And next to the bar was a cushioned chair that was obviously a BJ chair. And there was a mini fetish store up front. And one of the two bathrooms was obviously the bathroom to have sex in. And the men kept staring at me and my friend, maybe because we were girls, maybe because they thought we were lesbians because we wouldn't leave each other's side. But then there was the music. We walked in and Under Pressure was playing. During our time there we heard songs like Tubthumping, She Blinded Me With Science, the theme from Friends, and so on. I LOVED the music. My friend and I agreed that if there were women in this bar, we would totally come all the time. But I'm pretty sure that the men who kept sitting in the BJ chair were sad we were there because they couldn't get any. So we agreed to come in drag next time just so the guys wouldn't feel so uncomfortable.

TL;DR: Most interesting bar hopping experience I've ever had and probably will ever have.

I have been out with a few dudes who would completely ignore me when we were out with their friends. It is kind of standardish. I guess they are ashamed to be seen being soft by their dudely bro pals? Whatever. It sucks. Get in his face about it.

I've done this before, inadvertently, although hopefully I didn't really ignore her completely, because it wasn't really my intention. In my case, it's not about being ashamed, it's about getting sucked into that stupid dudely bro stuff guys like to do when we get into that weird hive mind state we sometimes achieve while spending time with our closest friends. I've dated some really nice ladies before, but it's honestly kind of hard to pay attention to them while the people I have chosen to spend most of my time with over the years do their level best to have a good time. Either the lady gets into the flow of things or she doesn't. In my experience, it actually is often kind of a buzz kill bringing the new girlfriend along to hang out with your closest friends, particularly the first time or two. It's like suddenly adding a new musician into your band; you're hoping that the transition will go without a hitch but 9 times out of 10 it isn't the case, and sometimes you just find out that the existing group is fine as a power trio or whatever; there's no hard feelings, but when you want to play you perhaps don't really want them around. I dunno; maybe I should just make a social circle Venn diagram, xerox it, and send it out to ladies I kinda like along with a disclaimer.

Anyway, I'd say it's important to ask how much it bothers you and whether it's a chronic thing or something that just happens when he zones out while talking to a few close friends. If he basically finds everyone on the planet more interesting than you in a social situation or outright disrespects you to shore up his manly credentials, then yeah, you should probably ditch the guy. But if he just kinda drifts off when he's with his closest buddies, you might want to consider giving him a li'l leeway and seeing how it goes next time.

I'm not really sure that would actually help much; I genuinely believe this tends to be more of a 5th wheel issue than anything. I've definitely had moments with women I've dated where I honestly felt like I should have just let them go hang out with their friends without me, because I felt out of the loop and there didn't seem to be much I could do about it. My post just came across the way it did because I found the dudely bro stuff phrase Lunchy used kind of funny and because most of my friends are male and admittedly a bit stereotypical at times. They're all basically jocks who also happen to be closet nerds.

This means that she is manipulating you!

Guys it's raining and it'll probably keep raining all evening and tonight is the opening ceremony for the outdoor ice rink :( I'm still going to go! But it will be kind of soggy.

It's Anna's birthday today and I'm hoping to see her but I haven't heard from her since Wednesday so I'm not sure when she's free. I'm having chronic attacks of uncertainty, as I am wont to do, that she actually has things planned with other people and doesn't want to bother with me. I'm sure she'll either text or email me later, she's busy til five if I remember correctly. It's just beginning-of-relationship-paranoia I guess. Also I'm bored so I let my mind wander into all kinds of ridiculous scenarios until I lose touch with reality.

GAH I need to do some work. I have a load of reading to do for my 2.30 supervision but I only have one of the textbooks and I'm not going out in this weather to find the other one. It's all just reiterating what we learnt in lectures anyway.

It's my college's homecoming this weekend, which basically means lots of people getting very schwasted.  I'm supposed to be hosting a small gathering late tonight with a group of friends who are basically my chill out/drinking buddies (which is funny because they are all girls), and I'm supposed to be providing the alcohol.  However, though I have talked to maybe 4 or 5 of my 21 year old friends about procuring alcohol, and though they have all been very willing to help me out, none of them have actually followed up and offered to run to the liquor store for me.  So now I have a lot of tonic water and limes, but no gin.  And no cider.  And no beer.  Poop.

Why is it that when a guy is out with his friends, he treats you like shit?

Not a good sign.

When I honestly think about the times I have done this, it has been with girls I was killing time with waiting for something better to come along. Fair warning.

Well, I am 16.
Then you and this chick are probably just being stupid and fooling around with each other.

FWB isn't for everyone. Really, you are friends that also have makeouts, essentially. If it makes you confused or uncomfortable, then don't do it. Otherwise, I guess just go with the flow?

I've done this before, inadvertently, although hopefully I didn't really ignore her completely, because it wasn't really my intention. In my case, it's not about being ashamed, it's about getting sucked into that stupid dudely bro stuff guys like to do when we get into that weird hive mind state we sometimes achieve while spending time with our closest friends.

Also, I have felt at times slightly embarrassed about my behavior during dudely bro stuff and it's almost been like I would feel worse if I actually involved the girl.  My general theory of gatherings is pretty much the same as my view of thermodynamics.  Stuff will always end up going to the lowest energy state.  It might not be there all the time, but eventually that will happen.  As such, I always try to make sure the lowest energy state is for everybody to be involved, but sometimes the girlfriend just doesn't fit into the friend event, and no amount of trying from me will change that long-term.  I feel bad, but there wasn't really much to be done.

I have had an awkward conversation with a girl before that basically went like this:

Her: "You know, you don't have to act like that just to fit in with the guys."

Me: "Uh, actually, I really do like acting like that."

Her: "Oh god."

This is why you ask the girl to bring a friend or have one of your friends also bring a girl. If you can't help ignoring her, at least let the lady have someone to talk to.

Relationship Thread,

In non relationship news: I'm DJing at our radio station's weekly event on tuesday, apparently from 1 to 2, which is essentially the most happening slot. I am all kinds of nervous, mainly because this is a Big Thing, and I'm probably not ready at all.

Basically, we need this night to be awesome, and I'm feeling a lot of pressure. A lot of it is also coming from the fact that none of us really knows what music we're being expected to play since that was never really decided on. If it was music I'm in to that would be totally cool and easy, but I think we're trying to cater to a wider, more british audience. I might have to go download the billboard top 100 for this week or something.

So, yay! But also freak out!

Expect to hear more about me freaking out in the coming week.
