Superthread LX - Celebrating Misanthrope's Birth

I'd even rather eat pizza from that dodgy kebab shop at central station at 3am than Dominoes

 

[Jason Maher]

Pizza Hut doesn't have spicy chicken kickers so yeah

You rate pizza shops on the non-pizza gimmick side items? Interesting...

 

[Misanthrope]

I don't know how someone over 30 even drinks knowing the impending shitstorm hangover that will destroy their brain and insides for the next 24 hours. It's like voluntary manflu

Not me. I've had maybe 5-6 hangovers in my life, and the majority were in my teen years. No headaches or nausea for me, just waves of crippling regret and self loathing.

Winning!

Depends entirely on the woman you're married to I think.

Since meeting Mrs Drew-Sta, I've travelled to the Philippines, Thailand, New Zealand, Fiji, lived in Tonga and intend on going to do Europe with her at some point as well. I've found someone to hone the meaning to what I feel led to do in life, improved my lifestyle immeasurably re spending, saving etc, and hold in my arms each day one of the most precious things I've got in my life. All because of her - and a little love

The above makes living the rat race far more achievable and endurable.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband ~ Proverbs 12:4

That's true. The ex in question and I traveled quite a bit together, but she's been at school ever since and seems pretty content to settle down and raise rugrats. The only saving grace to that arrangement would have been amazing cooking and the fact I'd have an excuse to live in the US :lol:

I'll keep looking for one that's more fun.

Yeah, that's not exactly my idea either. I want to live overseas once or twice again (likely for one stint in Tonga, hopefully once in England if I can convice the wife!). I need some excitement.

Although I do like the idea of returning home in my 50's and living the rest here. There's something to 'home' that is important, I think.

WTF is this?! Disbeliever!!!!

[Jason Maher]

She makes all the decisions. Where else would you more appropriately wear her?

Yeah. As much as I love the road, I do like the idea of someday retiring to the village I grew up in. It'll be boring, but it's so peaceful.

 

[Dani]

I want marriage.

 

[Misanthrope]

I want marriage.

I feel that way sometimes, but then I realize I haven't met a girl who has stirred even the slightest of butterflies in an eternity. How can I get married if I can't even get excited to be in a relationship with somebody?

 

[Dani]

I'm just lonely.

 

[Misanthrope]

I'm just lonely.

Me too Casual dating isn't doing it for me, heh

 

[Misanthrope]

It does have its perks though ;-)

 

[Dani]

I did the casual thing once. It's not me.

 

[Misanthrope]

I did the casual thing once. It's not me.

When I say casual, I don't necessarily mean FWB. I'm not sleeping with Poland, Belgium, or Vermont.

In better news, Georgia is single again and wants to rekindle our little FWB arrangement. Huzzah!

 

[Dani]

I know. I've had a single one night stand and I won't do it ever again. FWB gets messy eventually.

It all just seems like a waste of time. Plus, I deserve better than a drunk root/phone call whenever someone feels the need.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

There is no way to politely answer this.

I've had entirely too many one night stands, but I'm so nice that I end up making friends with all of them :lol:

And yes, you do deserve better.

 

[Drew-Sta]

Yeah. As much as I love the road, I do like the idea of someday retiring to the village I grew up in. It'll be boring, but it's so peaceful.

Agree. There's something to coming full circle. And having established roots within a community that you know won't simply up and shift in 6 months.

I want marriage.

I think everyone does.

I feel that way sometimes, but then I realize I haven't met a girl who has stirred even the slightest of butterflies in an eternity. How can I get married if I can't even get excited to be in a relationship with somebody?

Marriage is more than a feeling, I think. Kids, commitment, joint goals, building something... I agree you need something to spark the relationship, but love is also a verb rather than a noun.

In any case, I think you'll find her
