Occasional Happiness

[RUUUUUN]

The Gods must be crazy I and II are both extremely hilarious!

 

On topic: I get to go to SDSU to take some tactical foreign language courses.....YAY!

[optimus]

Soon I will have a Hartke HA 3500 with VX-series cabs!

 

It's a monster! The neighbours will be happy

[TheEskimo]

Hooray!! My pond is beautiful The ice is clear, so you can see the bottom from several feet out, and it is so smooth. Hopefully a hockey party tomorrow.

Can i come? lol I play roller hockey with my brothers, but i have only been playing for a year You play?

[Mumbles]

Roller hockey is far different from the ice variety. I used to be able to roller blade quite well, but put me on ice and I can barely move. I might actually be able to walk faster on ice than I can skate.

[TheEskimo]

Meh. I got sick and the party was called off. But really Mumbles? All these accomplishments, and you can't ice skate?

I made a bit of Ti streamer, so I am happy.

I thought ice skating was alot easier than roller blading. It was way more smooth. Thats where i learned to skate backwards(crossovers and all) a few months ago.

+1 for that.

Here up north, ice skating is part of elementary school training. Really young kids learn it fast but with rollerblades, damn thats hard to master.

Getting forward is kind of same technique in both but learning the most important skill, braking, well theres where the problems start

About that girl...

 

I lost my love madness. I still like her, but not so much as the first week. I returned my apetite and the need for sleep back. I think it was mostly due because of the fact I wasn't able to see her much. I saw her only two times and I was able to tell her no more than 3 sentences, because she's always in a God damn hurry :/. I also saw a guy picking her with his car and it made me nervous, and very nervous because of the fact I waited her until 02AM outside like a mad idiot and she didn't come back. I did the same thing on Saturday with the same result. Most of the times he picks her up on Sundays night, once a week. The most of the time, she stays at home. Of course she will, it's damn cold outside!

 

But even if I was little desperate, I successfully stopped her the same Sunday by telling her that her participation in a choir is a great thing and could I come to listen to her! We barely know each other me and she has never told me she's singing with a corus. So she immediately stopped her feet surprised and she asked me from where I know about it, but I refused to answer her. She begged me to answer but I refused again, and again. I told her she's a smart girl and she will discover one day. She nervously called me to be very "secretive". And so she went to the car...

 

So I worried very much because of the concerned face she had, I though I hurted her. And not only this, my friend was with me and maybe she thought that we both are trying something. Grrr, after that I asked him to not appear when I'm talking to her, that I have to be alone. But I think I also made a mistery question enter to her head. Maybe know she asks herself "How did this guy know about my choir"?

 

Now, I want to see her again to tell her my apologies and explain to her that I've found her facebook, there were photos and so on. I really want to MAKE HER STAY, to talk to her, but I can't . But I'm far from giving up yet!

 

Another funny thing is that my mind can't think of other women. For example if I see gorgeous girls, even clothesless, they have little value for me now. When beauties pass by in the streets, they are like ghosts to me. My mind is focused only on this one. I feel like she's the most precious thing in my life and I have to protect her, to make her be safe. She's more than a love...

Probably not a good idea to tell her you "Facebook stalked" her. I don't see that working out very well.

 

Make up a story about how you heard her singing to herself the other day, and you just guessed.

 

Also, being obsessive about someone you don't know other than glances passing in the hallway is not love, that's lust. Sure to get you in trouble if you don't make sure some of the blood stays in your brain.

Not this way. Because we both have the same family name and I know her name, I could use the pretext that I've accidentaly found her account while searching for my family name as a keyword to find some of my relatives. Also, typing the entire name doesn't always point to the correct person, so the searcher has to try with smaller keywords. I could say that I took a look at her account from curiosity and I saw her choir.

The truth is, I work as a security in our building every saturday, so I have a list with all resident's names and flats

There were both feelings: love and obsession. Now the second thing is gone, but I still love her.

Watch out...could be your cousin

 

Also, you might not want to tell her about your access to everyone's names and where they live.

[50AE]

No, no. I know my family tree very well.

 

Actually, I've cut this shit ideas like this one about facebook, names and so on. This is what happens when there's no enough blood in your brain .

 

St. Valentine is coming and I'm considering to give her a beautiful flower and a small present. I really don't care if she has a boyfriend or not and what she could think of. I'm doing it! I like her so much. I have nothing to loose anymore. I'm not scared or ashamed from anything. Even if I don't succeed one day, at least I'll know I've tried.

 

 

Let's talk a little about pyro too. A week ago I received my new electrodes from Swede and today I took out my 300g batch of KClO3 from the cell!

I'll bite and take some advice from the wisdom of the old guys here. Really close friends with some girl, mostly everyone thinks we're boyfriend and girlfriend but we're not as we don't see each other as much as we would like to.

 

Anyway, she's going to get something for me for Valentine's day and I've thought of some things to get her but I would like to add one more that is a bit more 'out there'. So far I'm getting her, her favorite box of chocolates and I'll add some corny little poem I've been working on. I'm aware possessions/gift giving isn't that important, as cliche as it gets 'it's the thought that counts'. But I would like to get her something a bit more unique and 'special'.

 

I was looking at jewelry but I was put it off from friends and others as it is a little bit elaborate just for Valentine's day. I would think something hand made would be the best way to go, something that you can't just go out and buy. I already made her a purple heart in lance work for New Years, so that's one of the more unique ones crossed out! Any advice/ideas much appreciated! Thanks.

I would get her flowers from a garden, not from a store thought but a home garden.

I'm guessing you are about 16. I will tell you she won't like the whole stalking thing(facebook and waiting for her). When you see her just try to talk to her, just try to be smooth though.

[50AE]

Things ended badly and they are for the deppression thread, not for here. But I'm deciding to continue the subject here.

 

I have to make some steps back...

 

So how has St. Valentine passed?

I'd have to say, mostly good

I had bought her the puppy and a beautiful bouquet of roses.

I was planning to wait her the entire day to give them to her.

In the afternoon, for my bad luck, her boyfriend came and they went out together. I was sad, but I didn't give up. I wanted to give her the presents at all cost. So I prayed I wanted to see her before the end of the day.

And it worked! 3 hours later, she came back alone. I stopped and greeted her, I gave her the things, I told her that these are specially for her and I appologized that I discovered that she had a boyfriend so late. I told her she's very special and I won't forget her, I wished her many good wishes. She was very surprised and confused, she seemed happy in the same time. She was trying to tell me she was sorry that she has a boyfriend and that it won't work with me, but I didn't really mind and I told her to not worry. The conversation was longer than I'm writing here, but these are the main things. It ended happily, for this day... She acted so nicely. She was happy and she looked so innocent.

 

But it wasn't over. I still liked her and I thought I didn't express my true feelings. I wanted to talk to her. I though that after the gift I gave to her, she will be interested to talk with me. At least I wanted to become a friend with her. But for the entire week, it seemed she didn't go out a single day...

Then I thought I could do my last action. I really wanted to tell my true feelings to her. So I planned for the 1st March (it's an official hollyday here of Health and Happiness) to write her a letter, a card and the symbols of the hollyday. It was a very innocent and gentle letter, without rude and mean things. I said to myself that after this day I won't be bothering her anymore. I knew she has a boyfriend and I wanted to leave them alone.

 

On the 1st March, I waited the whole day again. It was the most horrible hollyday of my life.

I missed her in the morning and I was so angry to myself. I just wanted to eat something quickly, I was so hungry.

Then I became tired of waiting, so I decided to go up, ring on her door and give her the letter. I knew their parents weren't there, because I saw them going out the same morning.

I rang on the door two times and no one opened. After 20 minutes I rang again. No answer. I was sad.

And I became even more sad and angry when her boyfriend came, he went up and they went out together with his car. Why didn't she open for me? Ok, no hard feelings.

Again, I hoped that she would come back before the ending of the day. I waited the whole day, until 21:30 PM...

she came... with her boyfriend. Damn, I was even more depressed.

They took a while on the upper floor. After some time, he came down.

I decided that I'll give her this letter at all costs and I'm going up to ring on her door no matter what will happen. I did. It was 21:45PM.

 

I rang... after about 15seconds, the locks of the door started to unlock. There were so many locks.. The sounds where like the gates from hell. Click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click...

Her dad opened.

I greeted him, I told him gently I am sorry for the late hour and if I could see his daughter please.

I'm not sure about his correct words, but they were like.

"I thought we agreed you have no business here. Didn't you get that? You have nothing to do here, is that clear? You have no purpose here. I don't want to see you here no more." And he slammed the door.

 

I wasn't able to sleep the same night.

This attitude has answered my questions to many things.

And the saddest thing is that she is sad now, she is ashamed to look at me or my friend. I think because her dad has shouted at her.

I didn't espect this from her father. I've talked with him very nicely.

What irony... How did I deserve this? How did she deserve this? I did so little and everything went so wrong.

I can write more details all day, but for now I'm stopping here.

[Bonny]

It looks like my perc cell run was successful!! There's quite a few chrystals in the bottom of the bucket and the ande looks OK. I'll have a better look at the anode later. Right now, I'm excitedly waiting for the liquor to cool down to harvest. I'll add some pics and details to the perchlorate thread as soon as I have more info.

Very nice! I don't really keep up on the current events in the perc thread, what is the process you are using?

[Bonny]

I'm using electrolysis, check out the perc thread when you have a minute or two. I started by making KClO3 from KCl with a set of electrodes from Swede(he has top quality stuff)and a computer power supply. I'm now converting it to KClO4 with a Pt anode and Ti cathode and a 6V battery charger. I hope to have usable perc in a few weeks...just in time as I'm almost out and have no current sources.

[FrankRizzo]

50AE,

 

Dude, you acted like a creep. You can't stalk someone like that, appear basically out of nowhere and give people gifts. You know many things about her, but she knows nothing about you. Relationships are based on mutual sharing of information...you shouldn't know things about her that she hasn't told you personally. You can't try to short-cut the process by stalking her on the internet and in her own apartment building. And trying to take her from her current boyfriend is a prick move. Attend some social functions, and work on your socialization skills.

 

..and a puppy?! seriously? That's not a gift, that's a burden.

[Bonny]

50AE,

 

Dude, you acted like a creep.

 

Again!?!

50AE, I thought we went through this a month or so ago when your "interest/obsession" started.

You need to back off,if she thinks you're a CREEP, then time to go away, because really, that's about the worst a girl could think of you. They can call you an asshole/jerk, whatever, but creep is bad news.

As Frank said, go out to some social functions...meet another girl and do it the right way.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but time to move on.

Again!?!

 

I admit I was acting kind of like a stalker, but it was really so much?

I wasn't waiting for her every day.

I wasn't getting in her way

I wasn't watching her or stopping her, I wasn't bothering her.

With the exception of St. Valentine and 1st March.

I was only GREETING HER!

Is it so wrong to receive flowers from a person who lives in the same area, works there and who has talked to you nicely?

 

I knew it was kind of wrong to receive gifts from a stranger, even if I was happy. Maybe in these days it can be considered as dangerous, I don't know. That's why I wrote a letter. In it, I explained the truth, I apologized and I told her I don't want to bother her anymore, so on. I wanted to talk to her as a friend. But I couldn't give it to her.

 

People are different. For now I don't want to do anything with her or her family. What did I do so wrong? This is not the way my family would talk to a person. I had only innocent and good feelings about her and it ended so badly.

 

I can't admit I did so wrong. You should know that it wasn't easy for me. I'm not jobless, I had lots of exams, work, hobbies and the sum of other factors and these was making me so nervous, I just wanted it to end and it did in a way. Now, I'm happy too.

But the last thing I wish, I want to repair the way she and her parents think of me. Time will tell this one.

 

FrankRizzo, you are right. But I've shared only one thing that I know about her, the fact she's singing i n a choir.

I wasn't trying to take her from her current boyfriend. I didn't even wish for it. On St. Valentine, I wished to her and her boyfriend to be both happy and I apologized again because I didn't know about him.

After the moment I realized, I wanted to talk to her only as a friend. I didn't have intentions to mess in her life of love.

You admitted to "loving her" a few posts back... and it also looks as though (maybe only when time permitted)you WERE watching her. I don't see how you can say you don't have intentions of messing in her love life.

Take it as a learning experience. Maybe she'll come around on her own, maybe not. Move on and see what time brings you.

[50AE]

I really loved her. But I wasn't watching her like a stalker, I was just trying to find a way to talk to her. After the fact on St. Valentine, I didn't want to mess in her love life anymore. If she built a bad opinion about me and I only bothered her, I'm really sorry, I can't even apologize to her. I was trying to do that on the 1st March.

 

Of course I'm taking this fact as a lesson. The best I can do now is to keep myself from them and rely on time.

 

She and her family... They seem to be scared people. They look like they try to avoid the others. They seem to have a very strong discipline and order. These are my main impressions.

Her father is a prosecutor.

 

Edit: I noticed I wrote a puppy. I ment a golden retriever plush puppy, not a real one if someone misunderstood me
