Sick as a dog. Threw up in the middle of the night.

Ouch i know how you feel a few weeks or a mobth ago i got a stomach virus or food poisoning and i got sick in my car while my bf was driving. I actually felt much better after I got sick but there were other negative effects too. Just try and get rest and drink plenty of water its the second time this year that i got sick.

I don't drink water. Tea calms my stomach. I think it was a reaction to something I ate.

It's actually the first game console I'm buying for myself with my own money at launch. I mean I bought the PS3 Slim back in 2009 but this is the first time I'm getting a console at it's debut

How old are you? I thought you weren't that young, I mean, the first console I bought with my own money was the Gamecube.

Unless you entered into the job thing late in life, which is perfectly ok, I'm not judging.

 

[MidnightScott]

I'm 23 and I got my job when I was 18 almost 19. Everything was always a gift from family during Christmas or my birthday. I can say I bought my DSi PS3 3DS JP 3DS and 3DS XL lol

 

[Mr. F]

no WiiU for me if there's no pikmin 3 on shelves.

that and some other thing that feels like high budget exclusive and is well known, like zelda, metroid, resident evil, etc.

Mario Universe would be sooo cool.

Hnnngh so I'll definitely need to get one down the line. It's probably going to get little use outside first-party exclusives but at the end of the day my heart bleeds Nintendo red, lol.

Thanks for all the gifts, mister.
It's my first time.
I didn't ask for this.
WOW.
Please don't hurt me.

 

[Father_Brain]

Lots of good news yesterday!

Obama won, ALL 4 mariage equality initiatives on the ballot in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington passed (although for Minnesota it was just the amendment to the constitution that would ban gay marriage that was rejected), and Tammy Baldwin was the first openly gay candidate to be elected to US senate.
There are also several Tea-party candidates who lost their bid for House/Senate, as well as several anti-gay candidates.

I could not be happier!

This country is better than I thought I really only expected the ME and WA initiatives to pass.

 

[excelforward]

So it looks like Andy and I will be heading to NYC in mid-December. I know I've met a few of you, but if anyone wants to grab beers or something, let me know! I'd love to get to know more of you.

Edit: I just realized this sounds vaguely creeper-y. C'est le vie.

[kitchenmotors]

I know what I'm getting at launch

Nintendo Land
New Super Mario Bros. U
Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed
ZombiU
Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Was going to get Rayman Legends but it was delayed. Wii U future is lokking great already with Pikmin, 3D Mario, Wonderful 101, and Bayonetta 2 on the way in the future. I'm excited

I've got a black bundle pre-ordered at paid off. Going to get New Super Mario Bros. U, ZombiU and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 as well. I was considering Sonic, but I decided I'm going to buy stuff off the eShop, like Nano Stray.

Excited for Sunday, my birthday is on November 16th so my plan is to get these games with gift cards and money. Should be a fun birthday weekend.

 

[Delio]

So the guy canceled. Said his dad got in trouble and he had to run and help him. Ah well maybe some other time.

lol. somehow i knew he would cancel. but i figured it would have been the mom excuse. i'm going with "lets just be friends" after a couple weeks of flirty chatting.

 

[Rokal]

I'll buy a Wii U when it has a robust library and maybe a price drop. I'm in no rush to buy one.

I'll be buying one as soon as Monster Hunter is out. Wish the franchise was bigger in the west.

 

[Delio]

More like i just dont bother chatting with him again. Yawn not here for people pulling me along anymore. Meh my luck is terrible anyways serves me right for trying.

Is he a repeat offender with cancelling dates? How do you know something didn't actually come up?

I'm sure something came up. I'm just negative on myself >.<

 

[_Isaac]

So that means there's no harm in trying for a second date.

hey guys,

need some advice please.

been seeing a really great guy for about 6 moths, only my second relationship (my first was 10 years long so its all new again now).

I will firstly say that i have an issue going into gay only venues and bars, i cant figure out what it is. I get anxiety (that i never have outside of these places) attacks whenever i am in one, and as a result have only been into two gay "clubs" in my life, im 32.

my problem started when he wanted me to meet all of his friends. all of his friends are burnt out gay scene types, i have zero in common with them and i have trouble even looking them in the face without my anxiety coming on. They all talk about "how wasted" they get at various gay clubs all the time and i dont know why but i am repulsed by their behaviour.

so what to do...i dont want to stop him seeing his friends, and i dont want to say, hey your friends are all creepy i dont want to hang out with them.

so i suggested he go out and hang with his friends whenever he wants and let me know when he wants to see me, but he insists on bringing me to hang out with them.

last night we hung out with two old friends of his that really repulsed me and it affected our intimacy as my repulsion and anxiety returned and stayed with me all night after we left them behind.

any helpful suggestions would be appreciated GAF....

Can you not make plans with his friends to do stuff that isn't in a bar? Or is it there base personality that you just don't like?

oh no, we dont hang out with his friends at gay bars or anything just regular restaurants etc.,

its the psychological thing of his friends bringing that scene to me in an average setting that sets my anxiety off

my previous partner never had any hardcore scene friends so its all new to me, i dont have many gay friends, so i actually didn't know i had this issue until i started to meet all his friends...

I guess I'm a bit confused by "bringing that scene to me". Are bars the only thing they talk about?

i mean bringing that whole "i got so wasted and slept with x guys, dont know where i woke up lol lol lol" thats 90% of the conversation.

I can see he finds it funny and entertaining to talk to them about it and i dont want to take that from him, but as i said he wants me there while they all talk about that kind of lifestyle...

*sigh*

He has to understand that you don't gel with his friends. I'd just tell him that you don't "get" his friends and that you don't want to be rude but you don't have a lot in common with them. Communication is key and if he cares at all about your relationship he'll be understanding or attempt to understand your issue.

Basically you got two choices.

You can either work through your anxiety or tell him how you feel.

 

[mantidor]

Pretty much, but telling him also should lead to work through the anxiety. Not liking someone is one thing, but getting actual anxiety to the point of affecting your intimacy is just not right. You should really try to analyze that and find the reasons that trigger that behavior. I'd even recommend a therapist.

 

[RM8]

I too heavily dislike that "scene", I'd just tell him I don't really get along with those guys. But anxiety? That's kind of extreme.

I've been seriously considering this.

As i said i have never been so exposed to this personality type so frequently in my life before and as such didn't realize that it has this affect on me.

I'll let him know how it affects me, and if he still insists on bringing me along i will look into therapy as its clearly an issue that is stemming from something somewhere...

 

[RM8]

He shouldn't insist, though, you don't have to be friends with those guys if you don't want to.

For the love of god, be honest. Tell everything that's on your mind and don't hide anything.

I've been reading this book and ever since I've started following the advice my relationships with others have been getting much better. Sharing all of your feelings brings people closer to you and not hiding anything eliminates a huge amount of stress.
