we're all p messed up at the rhizzone i think its just that our problems are more along the lines of the insufficiency of the Real rather than 'i havent talked to a human being in four days and i want to die'

Agreed bit i prevent myself from wallowing in self-pity or excessive ennui by reminding myself i at least have a more comfortable and in many ways rich life than 90% of people who've ever lived on the planet.

And then people are all like “oooh but it’s still empty, in the past people had something to live and die for” as if arbitrarily dying scared and alone on a muddy battlefield in crimea or yucutan is somehow more noble or Real. I don't buy that

i talk about this w. my friend a lot, basically that if you're concerned with authenticity you've already given up the ghost as far as that's concerned and you're living a wonderful life. it's in figuring out how to deal with the "oooh it's still empty," because it can still be empty even if we acknowledge that it's much better than most people have had it in history

also: do you think i should invite her out on a friday to come out w. some peeps, or make it more like a date date. p0rblems

well she wouldnt be going if some level of mutual interest hadnt been established so maybe its better not to go through the intermediary stages..... on the other hand you would be subjecting her to the full force of your personality. if she likes houellebecq maybe thatd be ok tho

ive never done the online dating thing. it seems weird, all the messages look to be a bit over-formal, and yet off you go and try to fuck a person based on screen words... iono. go w/ honour impper

My gf of 2 years i just broke up with i met on internet dating. You should try it Ken....year it's a weird kind of style that people e-flirt with but i can be more charismatic on a keyboard than in a bar hahaha.

Like instead of having to time a cheeky comment and wink when you're drunk and it's crowded and dark, you can just review your message for maximum flirtatious smiley effect....and so on and so forth

your message was extremely Earnest, about a thousand times more earnest than i would ever write. it was so earnest it would sort of be like.. wow, how rude, if she doesn't respond...

Yeah I know it was but that was the whole point. I had a whole cohesive strategy man I wanted her to not know if you were joking w/r/t the Houellebecq thing bc the rest seemed so earnest and normal.

irony works in person to an extent but i think you gotta be a bit cheesily earnest if youre doing the Online Dating Description Page Thing

Yah this is definitely right. the best profiles on guys are always pretty earnest

If she's any good she'll be able to recognize well-written irony....

i dont have a car which could be porblem in la but lol i might actually, for a Larff... i think i'm more charismatic in person really tho, what comes across as a moody diatribe in text is rendered sparkling satire by my winning smile and undeserved good looks

yeah but in general to describe a person.... you cant let yourself be characterised by the leering void deep within you, we've all got one after all

Ahhh cool, my mate has dexamphetamines (dexies) which i guess are similar. On NYE we crushed them up with E and valium and weed and smoked it out of bongs, good fun.
