We're all thinking it, I'm just saying it: porn.
This occurred at work. If it was porn I would have just left it so you all could see my good taste.

Indeed.

Google failed. The impossible has happened. I got this error for about an hour yesterday. Today when using gmail it got stuck in an infinite redirect loop. The errors seem to be abounding, but I never used to have issues with it. TBH, I think it's because they took off the Beta part of the image.


Lovin' the blotched out addy....

I get that error all the time! once every 2 days, at least. GMail completely messes up. For the past year or so, Google has done nothing but FAIL. They're getting too confident in their market dominance.

Is it working fine now?
It's on and off, not this error again though. Just other stuff, like the redirect loop. After about 20 minutes it was working fine again.

I was trying to decide between seeing this and seeing Gamer this weekend. I finally got around to see Idiocracy and that was just awesome. This one looks funny too but not too fond of Ben Afleck being in it. He hasn't been all that good lately.
Fixed.

Lately is an unnecessary adverb in this context.

I was expecting a facebook/myspace quiz in which I add up answers to determine which version I am. I'm disappointed.

Eh, seemed like a safe assumption. I didn't hear anything about proposing an alternative, I just heard "no." And hell, it's Eric. But what do I know.

And it's not about him taking her to the party just to hang with her. You've suggested the ulterior motive of putting off this other girl. And yeah, normally, that's a good thing. But as he's said before (and now elaborated), this girl is hosting a 10-person private party. It'd be insult enough to bring anyone uninvited. Subtle doesn't really apply, even with "good intention."
I've been on both sides of the bend. Both trouble and success with girls, that's what I'm speaking from.

I know that I personally used to have a lot of trouble with girls who had liked me but I had no feelings toward whatsoever. When there is a social gathering (I didn't know how small it was at the time, most I go to more guests are welcome by default), I've found that it's a good thing to be seen with another girl there. Personally I find it incredibly awkward to have a girl chasing after me knowing that she won't get anywhere. Also, when she hasn't really gone out and "declared" her feelings, you can't exactly let her down easy. In fact if you mention anything at all, like "I don't really see us going anywhere," you just look like a narcissistic asshole.

I have been in this position, where I dropped everything to hang out with a girl. Eventually I got dumped because I no longer had a life of my own. Every time I did something, it was with her, and she got sick of it. I was "too" available to her. Later on in a relationship, this is fine, but towards the beginning it's not so good.

On the other hand, I've dated a girl that did the same thing, and I got sick of it eventually. I loved spending time with her at first, but toward the end it just seemed like she was too needy and I feel like I saw her too often, I got sick of seeing her. At the beginning it didn't seem like it could happen, but it did.

I'm not suggesting to be an unfeeling asshole, I'm just saying to temper your feelings. It's very easy to scare someone off because you appear too emotionally attached. Also, don't step on your friends. Girls (at my age) come and go, but my friends are still there. It's not nice to stop hanging out with them all the sudden because you have a girl.




Since that was all aimed at Aaron, I'd just thought I'd mention that it's good that the bonfire girl has caught on without you having to say it directly.

Sounds like a weird birthday to make up, so I'll just figure it's real.


Happy birthday bro! Have a good one.

So, for us n00bs, what exactly is "The Wave"?
It's a replacement for current internet communication systems. The basic concept was that all internet communications are modeled on real life systems (mail->email, IM->phone, meeting->chatroom). So the concept was to create an internet communication system that sort of merged the three, and didn't really seek to replace any real life technology/communication, but instead make use of all that is available in the browser and using the internet.

I'm sure I butchered that, but that's the gist.

Actually taking her to the bonfire isn't a very bad idea. It shows that you're confident, also preselection by the other girl, and it lets the other girl know to ease off.

One thing though, slow down. Don't start canceling plans that you already had to do stuff with this girl. Girls, rather people in general, like other people who have their own lives. In fact, they especially love to be told "No, I have other plans." This sounds contradictory, but for whatever random ass reason, it's true.

Just letting you know that at the rate you're going you might end up scaring her off by appearing too needy.


Congrats on the date though! Keep it up.
