Actually, opposite of manipulative. It was really raw, she expected me to just leave having gotten an apology. When I didn't just turn and go, she actually vomited. She was literally sickened at herself.

"The last couple weeks have been a nightmare. They're been my own personal hell, and I fucking deserved every second of agony. I've been lower than shit, and I don't know how you're still standing, how I didn't drag you down to my level, but if there's anyone in this world I want to be like, it's you. I can't beg,…

You'd be surprised.

Nope, not really. Superman's suit was made from the blanket he was found in as a baby. It was a super-blanket, so it became a super-suit. No need for tech.

I really can't see how this can be a successful business.

I just close the lid before flushing. That way everything stays relatively clean.

This is creeperiffic. Once you take fantasy out of your head and put it to paper or html, publicly, without consent, then it's no longer fantasy, it's some kind of stalking.

Mini-golfing rules, no matter what age you are.

I was just thinking and came to the realization that all my relationships have been with older women that were completely on my level maturity-wise. This somewhat made me think, as my pending Friday date is with a woman a few years younger than me chronologically but likely a little more maturity wise (different…

Well, off-site means off-site. Usually a university has shell accounts you can access, or at least some kind of storage. Also there's stuff like Dropbox, which is free up to a certain amount (more if you're a student). Remember, the thief could've swiped your USB key too, but he/she can't swipe something not in the…

Well, at least you can look at this as a lesson of the importance of having off-site backup copies of important things.
