Dress up like Princess Leia in the Jabba the Hutt scenes?

Hmmmmm.....done.

I hate myself for this, but pics or it didn't happen.

Haha nah I wouldn't do it. I'm way too modest. And I would probably fall out of it anyway.

Damn... getting my hopes up and everything.

I'll tell you what, if you do end up doing it, and you send me pictures, I'll send you the pics of me as the Pink Power Ranger. It'll be HILARIOUS, I promise!

Oh sweet! That would be friggin' awesome. Ok if I do it (got to find a metal bra big enough though) I'll let you know but you have promise.

Wow....You sure must be some sort of superior men from the future. I usually messed up at step 1 or 2...

I think it's the best advice about girls I've ever heard!

On my honor! Or, alternatively, I can send you pics of my Red Mage outfit. I'm building a Link costume, with an Indiana Jones on the side, but those are both far from done.

Add that I have shoulder-length red hair, and it's... hard to build a convincing costume.

"LOL Link doesn't have red hair." Yeah, but I'm not gonna put about $60 of chemicals in my hair to make it look legitimately blond. *grumble*

A big part of the fear of venting to the people you care about, is the fact that more then likely, they're a big part of what you're venting about. But someone who has no concrete place in your life, will likely not be offended by what you have to say about the people who've helped to inspire said emotions.

So you're basically saying that this dude should use a long distance friend (such as a Live or Steam friend) to vent out his issues with?
That's very convenient, considering how nerds (this site's primary visitors) are known for their long distance friendships.

Absolutely, those are great options. Some people, though, benefit more from something more intimate and face to face, but I think Steam and Live are exemplary examples of places where you can find the kind of people you're looking for.

Good luck to you all =]
Oh..My girlfriend is leaving for university as at the end of summer. This university is at the other end of the country. So..that will mean kaput. Any way to prep myself for that?

Well, it sounds like you're doing a good job already. In my experience, about 30% of long distance relationships work. It's possible, but the odds are against you. Merely coming to terms with the fact that you're going to end the relationship when she leaves is a good first step.

Honestly, the best way to deal with a long distance breakup, is get it over with prior to her leaving. I don't mean, like right now. Enjoy your summer together. But I'd say, maybe two weeks prior to her leaving, try to make the mutual decision that you guys are over, or at least for the time being. The hardest goodbye is the one right before they leave, and if you're still an item at that time, it makes it even harder.

Remember, this isn't necessarily saying goodbye to your relationship permanently. It's entirely possible that while she's away, she could find that you are the guy she wants to be with, or after her schooling is done, you can find a way to resume. But keep your options open, and make the break up as painless as possible. Don't unload your issues with her, and try to keep her from doing the same. That's a tendency couples have when they're parting ways, and it almost never makes things any easier.

Acknowledging that you're going to not be together after this is the first and biggest step in preparing for the impending separation.

Thanks =].
Her ex did the same to her, and she didn't really get over it, so this is all a bit ironic.
I have a huge problem with meeting girls, though.
Stereotypical muttering, self-loathing misanthropey person. She's one of the few who finds these traits in any way endearing. Girls seem to happen to me, for whatever reason. Not looks, anyway.
I don't really go scouting, so to speak.
I'll enjoy this summer anyhow. Thanks again.

..um..Dye it temporarily pink. Link to the Past era. Much easier, and it won't kill those golden tresses.

I'm kinda into a girl I know, but I am not-to-close friends with her. We're not like best friends forever. However, I found myself very infatuated with her. The thing is, that we only talk a little over MSN, we don't meet much since we are in different classes (FYI, I'm 15). And when we do chat, I'm very shy on what to talk about, but I might have let slip some controversial statements that could have made it clear that I like her. I don't know if she's aware of it, but I think she is, however. And I don't think she is interested in me. I don't really know what to do. (also, regarding that I'm 15, and where I live things are a bit different, it doesn't work to just ask someone out, as far as I know)

It may help, it may not, but a girl who none of us had guessed was even slightly nerdy (even after wearing Star Wars stuff, some girls do it is a kinda "geek chic" look and have no idea what they're wearing) walked in one day and, in a huff, said the following;

"Fuck me, the P90's alright, but will I ever get a gun better than the AK-47? I'm sick of the damn thing!"

This naturally steered the conversation to Call of Duty 4 and us berating her for ever, EVER, getting sick of an AK-47. It also brought up conversations about LMGs in relation to Assault Rifles, the various perks and, most importantly, it cemented her as a geek in our minds forever more...

OK, my question...

I'm butt-ugly (it's been said that I look my best in the dark...), poor and can't quite have a conversation without berating the person I'm talking to, due to me being a sarcastic, misanthropic wanker. I'm fairly certain the only things I have going for me are a sense of humour and the fact I don't live with my parents any more.

I'm interested in a girl who is, frankly, out of my league. She's beautiful in a kinda "not quite goth" way, smart, ludicrously talented (she, like me, is training to be a games designer. I guarantee her game is gonna be made...) and very, very sweet. This is made worse by the fact that I haven't had a girlfriend in well over two years, and I just can't stop looking at her. She's a great mate and I don't want to ruin a friendship asking her out, but dammit I wanna ask her out! Help me, oh mighty one!

Right there, buddy! That's an enormous confidence boost! And after, what, three pages and two posts!

It's amazing. Truly.

This is what I wrote on BonsaiK's thread so some disregard some of it but Id also like your feedback Dwight.


I suppose your right about the whole society thing. I have a very loving father, who always says how much he loves me and has raised me, teaching me that you sould never feel ashamed for crying and expressing your emotions is not weakness. He truely is a wonderful man, but I guess one man versus the rest of the world on the topic isnt enough avoid the "manly man" syndrome.

I do have trouble with expressing love, but my main concern is my disability to vent. Ill keep it short, sine i'm basically just writing the same post again.

But creative things nerver worked for me, I sing in metal bands and spend my free time writing swedish ballads, just for fun.

I've trained boxing, floorball, wing chun and MMA but even in martial arts I'm unable to unleach in lack of better words, I'm just too calm by nature?
I also lift weights for 2 hours about 4 times a week, which also is just for fun and feeling manly hehe.

Sometimes I fear a situation where I snap for real, unleaching 21 years of closed up rage.
I've bin angry twice in my entire life, one time I punched a hole through a door (expensive to fix) and the other time I managed to contain my rage and get the wrong guy in the wrong place to leave, tho I spent a sleepless night looking at the cealing hyperventalating.

I guess I need some jack nicholson from Anger management hehe.

Why do girls not like my shiny and impenetrable suit of plate mail? I'm a provider, a lover, I don't leave my chain-gun on the mantlepiece, I hang it over my bed-pod next to the severed heads of my foes. Tell me my accredited chum, am I too forward? Should I not bathe her house in the blood of a vanquished nation? Why can't I bring myself to risk friendships? Should I spare the white rhino it's life as a species instead of crafting a mighty horned chariot to show up at her house in?

I'm so confused.

Dude, it's Joe. He's jokin' around.

What do you mean he?

He is actually a he. Joe and Laby played a massive joke on us all

So does everyone agree that normal girls are boring compared to the illusive gamer-girl?
