[QUOTE=benbb;51359675]Well as close to 'the one' as I've ever met. I disagree with the fact you say there isn't a 'one' though. I'm looking for someone to be long-term with; can't be arsed with short-term flings and FWB-type scenarios. Then again she's the first girl I've ever kissed with meaning so you can tell I'm not very experienced with this.[/QUOTE] it's very very very unlikely anything long-term will happen at this age. honestly, just relax and take things easy. see codenamecueball's post too
also all the people i know who have gotten married at like 20 are weird so bear that in mind
speaking of that my mate's getting married in January, he's only 22 but then again he's from a hardcore christian family ( dad is a minister ) so sort of expected despite how alien of a concept that seems to me
I don't quite get young marriage. I'm just as perplexed by wanting a kid the second you leave high school too tbh. You've got years ahead of you to raise a smaller you or dedicate your entire life to one person. Fuck, just do other stuff or something before you settle down too early.
Anyone had any problem with house fairies knicking cakes? Had a doughnaught stolen in the night by the blighters.
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;51364511]also all the people i know who have gotten married at like 20 are weird so bear that in mind[/QUOTE] Don't particularly want marriage yet. Just would be happy to find someone that 'clicks' and we can hang out until the time is right. I'm shite at dating and I'm rather quirky I guess so I'd just be happy to settle. The girl I met did and we still talk (Saw her outside my flat smoking with her friend - at least she gave me a toke), but such a shame that we met at a time where she doesn't want a relationship. Probably fucked it by doing the 'were are we' talk but my friends + parents were all saying it was time to ask and I'm happy to get the overthinking out of my head as they were giving me stress + anxiety.
Oh jesus, just watched Will Britain Ever Have a Black Prime Minister on BBC2 with gfs parents. I was nervous before it started, thinking how her dad might not be able to handle it. I'm not saying he's racist (he isn't), but as a middle aged white man who's lived his whole life in a very white town (there was 1 black kid in my year at school) he struggles to get it and started busting out outrageous hypotheticals that prove we're not living in institutionally racist society. White people get really weird talking about racism

Woke up saturday monring got in the shower, turned my neck left or something and then fucking ruined my entire weekend by giving myself back/neck sprain. It's not the first time and I doubt it'll be the last time either, but holy fuck it's one of those pains that you can't do shit about and everything you have to do aggrevates it and simple tasks become excercises in self torture. Can't lay down, can't sit down, cant stand up, can't look right at all. Walking around like Quasi fuckn modo unable to scratch my own arse without ending up poleaxed on the bloody floor in agony. eurgh

Appreciate the advice but sadly it's both my line of work and my height thats the issue here, not really general posture and what not. I'm jacked up on painkillers right now so i'm happy as larry.
i've done that before, I gurned slightly too hard one day and manage to pull half the muscles in my neck and upper back literally looked like an absolute eejit for a couple days because of that uni has it's own counselling service, decided that I really shouldn't be feeling as shite as I do, so put in an application. Was over a week ago, still waiting to hear any sort of confirmation, it's shite waiting for it to come through.

one of my tutors followed me back on twitter, do I win
I was at a family thing a few weeks back and I completely forgot this happened, might as well share it. I was speaking with...my dads cousins grandparents I think, they're well into their 90s. I have no recollection of meeting these people in my life, ever, but they're family so I sat and chatted with them at this family gathering. Turns out they live in Exeter, but used to live in Dagenham, London. He was saying "Well we liked living there, you're so close to the city and not far from Family (we're all in Essex), but eventually it all got a bit much". I said "Well it can all change quite quick living in cities", kinda sympathetically I think I was going for. I wasn't expecting his wife to lean over and chip in; "and so many NIGGERS too!" My Gran on my mums side also referred to an exterior paint for a shed as "Nigger Brown". I think everyone in my family is a racist, some just hide it better than others.
[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;51369352]one of my tutors followed me back on twitter, do I win[/QUOTE] One of my lecturers today pointed out that some people scored the same or less on a multiple choice test as they'd expect "childeen in kindergarten randomly scribbling answers" to score. It was brutal.

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;51369352]one of my tutors followed me back on twitter, do I win[/QUOTE] I've been in the uni pub doing some reading and my lecturer bought me a pint once.
the closest I've ever been with my tutor was when he asked if my parents would have aborted me if they had seen in my ultrasounds that I had downs syndrome. wow great bants Robin
So question one of a problem sheet was what is the output of an AND gate with two ones as inputs. 2 marks for the correct answer, -32768 for a wrong answer. The average mark of the class was -70. [editline]14th November 2016[/editline] Somewhere along the line my course friends group chat took a disturbing turn and I'm not sure when.

It is jarring tho.

Not that I mind, easy points.

Lit and film lecturers know how to party I'll give them that.

As much as I like being able to drive to and from work (because First buses are fucking nasty to my estate), I always have this really awful feeling that I've knocked some poor fucker over or been a nuisance in traffic after I get out of the car. Every noise my car makes is now horrifically paranoia inducing. It made a weird clicking noise as I took a roundabout probably a bit faster than I should. Was it just the car being shit? Was it a cyclist getting wrapped around the axle? I dunno, but I didn't find chunks of cyclist attached when I got out.

what could be in store for The cheese at 20 to 9, I wonder? mdma? coke? a #battered mars bar?

lots of uni students seem quite superficial. i get along with everyone i meet but man where's the people you can just kinda talk to about shit without any accessory to conversation? seems like you gotta have something pumping through your veins, in to your ears or in to your stomach to get a nugget o chat around here
