Thinking that if I could have sex with anyone in the world right now, it would be Aubrey Plaza.

I just have a thing for quirky women.

Sure, like a lot of guys have things for gamer girls, too. A girl who'll wear a Nintendo t-shirt while looking hawt, but if she's actually BETTER than him at CoD he'll very quickly go off the whole idea.![]()
Har! I'd love to find a woman who's better than me at plumbing, landscaping or electrical work. I'd happily stand back and let her go to town.
I fixed my first TV when I was eight, just so ya know.![]()
Yeah, I started taking things apart when I was a kid. Didn't know what I was doing, but I was curious. Fifty years later, I think I'm about 50/50 with the things I can fix versus the things that just make me curse. But you gotta keep trying.![]()

I also took a lot of things apart as a kid, no one would keep screwdrivers around near me lol! I just liked to see how things worked, and work it all out.. still hopeless at fixing them though!
Unfortunately in times of tragedy you aren’t yourself and your time is rarely your own.
Is it fair to put this on someone who is struggling to get through their day to day? To discover their new normal?
This seems cruel and unnecessary and is putting the onus on the person who needs support.
Losing a friend sucks. It hurts a lot but it’s nothing compared to losing your family.
I’ve pushed many people away this year. My friendship with everyone have changed as a navigate my world while grieving.
Life is different.
Unfortunately not everything is about everyone, even if it feels like it.
Chris, we’ve had our differences in the past but i feel like you are getting unnecessarily vilified here.
You owe no one anything.
You are entitled to grieve the way you need to, I hope you remember that.
Awww I'm sorry. Well, I promise not to put you on ignore.![]()

First of all, I really really appreciate your support as well as Tolyk's. Both of you have said very very kind things to me, which I am grateful to hear. I'm also glad to hear you two aren't super pissed at me.
But what you said is absolutely correct.
I don't mean to give a sob story here, but mental illness is something I've dealt with for all of my life. I already had problems before my parents died - Major Depression, Generalized Anxiety, and Social Anxiety. These HUGE problems were already present. When my parents died, it really threw me over the edge.
Well, when I met my therapist, I had a huge issue that was causing me an INSANE amount of unneeded stress. I was having a hard time dealing with it. The problem was that Sassy threw a FIT when I told her I couldn't go to her son's wedding. It was scheduled four months after my parents died.
At the time of my parent's death, I had a job. My boss was kind enough to give me time off with pay to deal with life shit. And it was many weeks. So, of course, it seems very unreasonable to ask them to let me ALSO have off for a wedding in 4 months. When I told Sassy that my boss wasn't going to let me off for the wedding, she responded "They had better" and she got really upset. REALLY UPSET.
One day, I was complaining to a coworker in administration. I was telling her, "Man, I have a friend who's losing her mind over the fact that I'll probably have to work during this wedding." So, that got back to my boss and he said, "Hey, it's cool if you take that week off. We'll just move one of these weeks back so it even things out."
When I told Sassy my boss gave me the green light, she became SUPER apologetic, said she was sorry about how she treated me, etc.
Weeeell.... over time, I realized that I wasn't going to that wedding. Besides the fact that the bride is a complete cunt to me, I just didn't want to go anywhere or do anything. So, I knew I wasn't going to that wedding.
BUT.... when I looked back on how Sassy reacted the first time I told her about that, I also considered how bad it would be the second time.
All of this culminated into a huge shit storm of guilt, stress, and avoidance. My therapist pointed out that I had a huge problem with avoiding conflict, avoiding stressful situations, and avoiding problems. So, I guess you could basically say that I'm the polar opposite in real life than I am on the forum.
So, I just didn't feel like dealing with Sassy at all.
Thinking about what I should make for dinner.

Tater tots...please.![]()

You cracked me up. I hope you are going to be okay, in spite of it all. Damn Chris... Sorry to hear that shit. You were like the son I never had or wanted.You cracked me up. I hope you are going to be okay, in spite of it all.
I wouldn't wish what you went through on anyone. Be well, man.
ETA: I will never forget you calling that SatinDesire lunatic out. Poetic genius.
