Oh why did I drink so much last night? I knew I should have gone home after the gig. Gooblar, I curse you and the PBW and your hangover inducing ways.
Will this hangover ever go away?
Next time after a gig, I'm not going drinking afterwards. Not for all the pretty boys in Canada.

Oh, the crapulent abyss, the chasm of the aftereffects. I think I may still have been drunk this morning when I woke up.
Why do I have to be such a freak? Why can't I just be normal for once in my life? It's not fair. :-(

I haven't dated anyone for, ooh, years and years and years, but I think if you are struggling to talk to someone and need the pointers of interweb mentalists also not in relationships as a guide for how to hold a conversation, then that's a sign right there that this isn't perhaps the person for you. You will KNOW when you click with someone, when conversation comes easily. Do you struggle this much to become friends with people? The process is pretty much the same.
I am appalling at picking team names in pub quizzes, sorry. I also tend to be quite drunk and laugh heartily at everyone else's amusing efforts before forgetting all about them by the end of the night. Sorry. Anyway, the pubs round our way just have smutty innuendo-laden names, not clever witticisms. (and no, I can't remember any of them)

Actually, Ken sort of said this already, didn't he? This:
i much prefer to just try and have a good time than seeing a date as some kind of data mining exercise with speed and efficiency being an issue! see in my ideal date either person will just start talking about anything, interest or not, and the other will listen and respond accordingly, with no agenda like "i'm going to find out this this this and this about you by 9:15 and then i'll tell you how much i like the same thing" because i find that that usually hinders a genuine conversation.
Seriously, it's not that hard to talk to people! And if you have issues with talking to and dealing with people in general, perhaps you might want to address that before expecting to snare the love of your life over the course of an agenda-laden evening?

But yeah, you're right, I'm a psycho and a mentalist and have no business even speaking to people in the first place, as I've proved over and over again.
God, I need sleep.

Yes, I'm married. There's a reason I got that way too. But, yeah, as someone who successfully dated someone to the point that we realised that we got on well enough to continue doing this for the rest of my life, I thought I may be in a position to offer advice (and, FYI, not that it's any of your business, I went through a fuckload of disastrous soul-destroying relationships built on desperation, nothing, sex, all manner of doomed-to-failure reasons before this one turned up).
But I guess I'm just a "smug married" in your eyes, rather than someone who learned a bit about how to do this relationship stuff successfully. Sorry for thinking my experience was relevant.
(btw, if people in relationships piss you off so much, why do you want to be in one so much?)

But yeh, I do need to take the pressure of myself - I really do feel that I HAVE to at least have an opinion of someone after a few hours, otherwise what's the point? Although maybe this is where I'm going wrong . . .

"Get away from my family," 4-year-old Stevie Long shouted, punctuating his screams with swipes of his plastic sword and hearty "yah, yahs."
The robber and his accomplice, who was waiting outside the apartment Friday night, fled with credit cards, jewelry, cash and other items that Stevie's mother, Jennifer Long, dumped from her purse.
"I scared the bad guys away," Stevie said Tuesday evening at the apartment at 901 Chalk Level Road in north Durham.
Two men had approached Jennifer Long's boyfriend and his son Friday night as they stood outside the apartments she helps manage, according to a police report. The strangers asked for pot, and then a cigarette, and as the son went to get one, both men pulled guns, police said.
One stayed with the boyfriend as the other forced the son back into the apartment, police said. Inside were Jennifer Long, a cousin, Stevie, Mary and two other children, police said.
They were forced on the floor. The robber pointed the gun at Mary and a 1-year-old girl named Sierra, said Stevie's uncle, Bernie Evans, 33, who lives above the Longs.
Enter Stevie.
"During the robbery, a ... boy snuck into his bedroom, dressed himself in a Power Ranger costume and armed himself with a plastic sword," police said. "The child then exited his room and approached the armed suspect, in an attempt to protect his family."
Relatives said the robber abandoned plans to take Stevie's mother to an ATM to withdraw cash when he saw Stevie.
"It tripped him out, and that's when they moved on," said Evans, who did not witness the incident. Jennifer Long declined to comment, saying her employers at the apartment complex would not allow it.
Stevie likes to think he cuts an intimidating figure in his red-and-black mask and foam suit that replicates the rippling muscles of the kiddie adventure show heroes. But Evans said the robber was more startled that Stevie was able to retreat to his bedroom and morph.
Fantasy, reality
Though the robbers wore no masks, victims could only give vague descriptions of them. Police have no suspects in this or the other 10 armed robberies reported in Durham in the past six days, said Kammie Michael, a spokeswoman.
Evans said family members are struggling to help their children understand their ordeal. A counselor said Stevie needs to improve his distinction between fantasy and reality, said Heather Evans, Stevie's aunt.
"He fully believed he morphed," she said.
Mary grasps her danger better. She stayed home from school Monday and Tuesday.
"My doctor said I get a day off," she said.
"My mommy said I was crying in my sleep because I had bad dreams."
