Had a debrief with the Council of Elders there and yeah, apparently I dodged a full 50. cal bullet last night.

At the time, it seemed like a very fun and sexy bullet.

It’s always the way.

Sad state of affairs when I'm seriously considering the wisdom of Chief Wiggum.

This turned out to be true anywhoo. strong independent woman who also needs a personal entertainments consultant - like I get it, theres nothing wrong with it, other than i have a free time deficit.

Anywhoo in the meantimes I think i had the fastest speedrun of the hot/crazy cycle in my known history.

Spoiler: roughly

conversation starts on dating app
I'm invited to whatsapp
in one image on my profile i'm with a dog, there is no statement anywhere that i own a dog.
person asks about sad dog.
I immediately clarify that it is not my dog, it's just a rare photo of me that doesn't look like a cctv freeze frame from a missing persons documentary.
blocked on whatsapp, but only after a mini essay on me being a liar that took about 3 reads to get over the lack of punctuation and the high speed rage typed nonsensicality of it all.
Total runtime approx 3hrs from adding on whatsapp to blocking.
Taking a few days off that craic now.

You probably should have explained how the dog picture was to symbolise your interest in dogging

Lads on cocaine in our age range are the bane of my life. I've had similar nights to what you are describing.
By about 12-1 I'm thnking 'one pint, then I'm off home' while i'm talking to anyone, these pricks are beaming with fake energy and confidence and the offer of free drugs at this stage of the night, which is when decisions are made, good or bad.

I'm still not interested in taking the shit though - it's the worst personality

Anyone taking cocaine is a loser

One of the regulars at my Wed night jam session was off work for a while and was hitting the coke fairly hard and my fucking god he would ruin everybody's night every time he showed up. He was like a petulant 5 year old, would moan and whine without cease if everyone wasn't doing exactly what he thought they should be doing

He's back working now thank fuck

Boyfriends are for real men.

 

[seanc]

Someone pinched my bum tonight. Then got talking to other people, then danced with me. I didn't know what to do, she was just out on a big flirty mad one I guess.
Dancing to an open mic night though. There's more to the story.


But what is the etiquette on bum pinching? I'm confused.

You should have said ''I have a boyfriend''.

 

[seanc]

You should have said ''I have a boyfriend''.

We've known each other for years. Anyway, I wouldn't be so bold as to apply a gender to thumped dot com.

Dismantled a fight. A proper fight. Soaked in beer from thrown glasses.
Then someone said "Come back to our place for the sex". As in the place she lives with her partner. He was very keen on having me back.
For the sex?
Excuse me. I have work in the morning. Really? I just didn't understand.

Later ended up getting involved in another thing wherein I got shoved to the floor by a lunatic who was massive. No one except my dad has ever put me on the floor before. Not at senior level anyway. I felt bad. The police said we'll talk about it tomorrow.

And then some random offered to buy a drink and tell me she was too old for me. Em....she was. She still wanted to take me home though. There was a long hug.


Long story short. I actually could've pulled tonight. Twice.

But work and violence got in the way.


Where are all these people when I have free time?

They only exist when it's not suitable

I just needed to get a bit of that story out of me last night, but to give some further explanation:

Fight one was between two best friends, except one is now straight edge and the other is descending into madness. I have sympathy, but he needs to help himself.

Odd sex couple decided to get into the middle of it. I got into the middle of it because I know these guys, one lives next door to me. This sex couple were hipster twats who were clearly on a ghetto safari and wanted the full experiential thing, including getting righteous and rowdy with shit they don't understand. I kept talking to them because I didn't want them getting back involved in the fight. And then "for the sex" happened. Fuck em not literally. We are a strange bunch around here for sure, but we're not circus animals.

 

[taubstumm]

time to start writing a novel, seanc

no lack of characters

 

[seanc]

You're actually not the first person to say that.
Everyone here could write a novel though, by that metric. i suppose everyone has one novel in them, as they say.
Right now I prefer the Thumped vignettes. I don't post about the days I just sit around and eat toast and watch PBS.

 

[ann post]

after a prolonged no meeting people period I ran into someone pretty nice, and I've a suspicion that this happens to everyone (single) where the minute you are at some formative stage of something all your exes appear out of the woodwork for some reason. In this case two people who literally effectively ghosted me years ago have popped up out of nowhere looking for dates. So the initial person is being wildly vague while the other two are being wildy proactive and now curiosity is getting the better of me.
I'm 90% sure that this will all lead to aimlessly scrolling on apps again in a months time.

 

[Reets]

But there's a 10% chance it wont.
I'd take those odds.

 

[ann post]

yeah i'm mostly using the sanctity of thumped to bitch about it. the way things are lining up i'll be a lot better informed by about sunday

 

[Reets]

If the new one is being so vague, give it a day more of chatting and then this evening see if she's free on two specific days. Talking for ages gets you no where.
I cant think of a single time anyone I know has given a ghoster (who they went on a date or whatever with) a second chance actully worked out. Unless they're filled with guilt and apologies, it's not worth it and you deserve better than that shit. So there (said with that weird pointed hand gesture).
