If it makes you feel any better, that's the likeliest outcome (attractive people are attractive, after all), so you're far from alone, and they're still possibly available for an awesome friendship. If a romance was likely to work out, they're probably compatible friend material, provided you don't go into it hoping for it to progress to romance.

Weird fetishes would be so practical...

Aww, the hosting for my avatar expired and I didn't back it up, so I'm back to the previous one.

Honestly, the biggest problem with this that every time I get hopeful and kinda happy, and then truth rears its ugly head and I have to take hope out the back and bash its head in, it's almost a routine now, and it's not enjoyable in the least.

Oh well, got a pack of cigarettes, some M&M's and I think I'll find a game or TV show, then the purging can begin.

I realize that I don't have the really big sads that a lot of people in this thread tend to have, but please bear with me. Mostly, my experiences are just a bland mush of "meh" as far as the eye can see.

Anyways, on to my sad.

The second Hobbit movie sucked. I don't hate it with a passion, but the bloat and changes felt really stupid this time around. In the first movie, it all at least went somewhere, but this time, it's painfully obvious that they didn't have enough material to stretch it into 3 movies. The parts with the necromancer are fine because it was actually going on in the background of the book. The rest of it is either trying too hard to tie in with the LotR trilogy, or adding too much flambouyant cinematography and Hollywood re-writes of the plot. It's a shame, really. I had high hopes for the additional world building, and I feel they have squandered it.

Honestly, the only reason to see that movie is for Smaug.

Just make sure that if she breaks up with the other person and doesn't get with you, that you complain about how "I'm such a nice guy to her, why doesn't she want to date a nice guy like me?" and "She totally friendzoned me! Girls only want to date assholes!" Chicks dig it when you say that kind of stuff.

I'm about to have a 12 hour car drive to Poland in order to visit family, which as you can imagine is not all that fun.
It will also take a major cut from my easter break and I'd have lots to do.
Being cut off from most sorts technology for a week is a pain as well.

The only thing I really disliked as far as hollywood rewriting goes was the dwarfXelf romance subplot. That's just no.

Also didn't like how they cut out the scene where Gandalf tricks Bjorn into letting all the dwarfs in. That was a great scene in the book, I loved that part.

Otherwise I liked it. It wasn't totally faithful to the book, but it does a good job of portraying a fantasy world. Feels much more "fantasy" than the LotR movie trilogy. Probably the more advanced CGI doing that.

Spoiler: Unrelated sads (click to show/hide)

Sads: School. It just sucks the will to live out of me. Even if it's an easy day with little work and I was in a good mood early on, by the end of the day I'm just drained and bummed out. Either there's too many people for me or the amount of time taken out of my day by an average boring school day just makes me feel like an unproductive shitbag wasting his life.

It's probably both. The whole experience is just emasculating and makes me feel like a worthless unproductive lonely loser. Bleh.

Also school prom is coming up, it's senior year, everyone's emphasizing about how wonderful and important senior prom is, blah blah blah. Prom is stupid and overpriced, but hell if I don't feel kinda bad for being a total asocial loser with almost no friends and no date.

There's a diffrence between being a feminist, and making them look bad. You're starting to look like all you do is the latter. Seriously, calm down or something.

I probably should care more about mine, but then again nobody really thinks it's a big deal. Also it's on the same day as my Further Maths GCSE exam so yaay.

I had no date at prom, but still had a blast. A catered party is a catered party, after all. Best part was, everyone was being a bit iffy about dancing, waiting for someone else to dance first; so, seeing the void, I just jumped in and started dancing. And after a few moments, everyone else did, too.

So, I'd say prom isn't about dates, but rather a big party for your whole senior class with lots of effort and money put into it. If you're not much of a party person, or if you've got something better to do, it might not be for you, but chances are it might be the one big event you can justify spending money on.

If you do decide to go (date, friends, or not) just beware the after (and before) parties. They'll probably screen people for drunkeness and smuggled alcohol at the door, and even afterward you probably don't want to go out and get underage tanked.

On the other side of the coin, I was one of very few people in my graduating class who didn't attend prom or the senior graduating party, because of money issues.  It wasn't like I'd ever been on a date, either.  Don't look down on yourself or be ashamed if you don't go.  Parties are great, but in the end, it's just a party.

I didn't go to prom either and look at me!
