Dang!

I can see these two getting smashed at the party

And the ensuing shenanigans!!

doooooooooooooooooooom

The orb of shame should hang around that party. At least we may expect Yelling Bird' "Birdy num num"

I'm unwilling to start a guessfeist about the Party, I'm giggling with anticipation though.

Marten: Receive dark tidings.

It's hard, Marten. Watching the girl you loved go on a date with Littlefinger.

It's hard and no one understands.

(Except Tai.

And the readership! Speaking of them.....)

Forums: Do an acrobatic motherfucking pirouette off the proverbial handle.

You are executing a goddamn triple lutz off the handle. You are doing an Olympic gold medal routine off that handle that will be in the record books for ages.

This is all the fault of some huge bitch!

Dora: Be the huge bitch.

Bluh bluh.

Originally it was the type of LSD some guy brewed for Woodstock or the Grateful Dead or something. Google it. Jimmy Hendrix supposedly named his song after taking a hit and then shit got mixed up and it became a name for a certain type of marijuana, i think.

The term "purple haze" has been used to refer to LSD, due to the form sold by Sandoz, called Delysid, which came in purple capsules.

I agree with you in general. However, my best estimate of their time dating is 15-18 months.

Apologies to those who've read my reasoning before but here it why I say that:

They started dating whilst it was still cold. They spent the summer together. They were still dating in that winter and it had got warm again before they broke up.

Awf man that is a kick in the teeth.
You can be so well adjusted and moved on but the first time you hear your ex is going out with someone else, it can really feel like someone stepped on your neck.
Hell, when I saw, three years later, that an ex (that had abruptly dumped me when I still loved him) had gotten married it seriously did give me a -hhgh- feeling for a second.
Can't fault Marten here.

oh man how are we gonna follow the party AND the date?!?

Quote from: Blyss on 13 Jun 2011, 11:30

I'm really disappointed in how Dora's characterization is progressing. The personality type is not one I care for at all.

Let's see, I can't date you (Marten) anymore because of my issues. However, I can date this other guy (Jim) or whoever else, if they ask, because, you know, it's just a date.

That is so much bullshit, I can't begin to explain it all. Meh, needless to say, not happy with this current story arc at all.

At first I was like, "yeah, she's being unfair!" but then I realized that...nah a date really is just a date. It's well within a part of single life, if you so choose. Relationships in the sense of having any interaction with someone, but without any need for commitment or thoughts of the future. Dora's issues were more jealousy long term issues...I'm sure if it gets there with Jim they'll come back out.

Plus she was probably just toos hocked to say no. And maybe at the time it seemed like the best way to keep the pastries coming! =P

I know Marty´s been kind of on the lookout for other girls but hasn't really been successful. But I think it was because it was the wrong setting and all, and a party with loads of college girls might be the place to actually get some flirting done and boost the old self-esteem

Watch Marten be so depressed that he either doesn't go to the party at all, or goes but spends the whole time moping in a corner. That's assuming Tai doesn't cancel the party altogether.

RE: Today's poll.

When you say "Universal QC Horror Film", is that a horror film starring everyone from QC or a horror film about QC/set in the QCverse produced by Universal Studios?

As in the "Classic Universal Monsters" QC-style, like the Lon Chaney Jr. Wolfman, Bela Lugosi Dracula, etc.

Oh man, that line in "Werewolves of London" finally makes sense now!

...well, sort of.

I wouldn't be surprised if Marten goes back to the bourbon, to be honest.

I am surprised that the strongest thing he felt was gloom, rather than a strict punch to a gut. His reaction seems more "well, that sucks", rather than "UGH, OUCH." That would personally be my reaction.

Overall, Dora ends one relationship because of her trust issues, and now she's going to jump into a date. If that one has any success whatsoever, it completely makes her fallout with Marten worthless.

It isn't out of character for Marten. Its more like; "Well, I'm doing ok, I think, moving on as best I can. Whats that? Dora is going out with someone el-....*Punch the gut with a kick thrown in*"

Remember, the comic moves in its own time, and Marten has to move at his own pace for getting over things. I think its natural for someone to feel like that when an ex starts dating again, so soon after the breakup, which they initated.
