Our spring ended sometime in April. We had a week of hot weather, which was apparently our summer, and now we've moved on to fall as well.

It's 11:47AM on June 17 and it's 16ºC/61ºF outside.

And raining.

I mostly like Reroute to Remain, Come Clarity and A Sense of Purpose. From the earlier albums I really love some individual songs, but not the albums so much. For example, Bottled might just be my favourite song from them

Clayman > all other albums. Bullet Ride, Pinball Map and Only For The Weak, nuff said.
Clayman and Reroute are their best albums in my opinion, although the only ones I'm no fan of are Lunar Strain and A Sense Of Purpose.

That was an uphill battle if I ever saw one. Not only did we have to win or get a tie against the Germans, we also needed you guys to win. I liked the optimism from our commentators, though. Five minutes to go, we needed to score two goals and the commentators were like "Well, it's been done before..."

Wasn't until the last minute they went from "We've got this" to "Okay, we'll win the World Championship."

It's funny because while I generally agree with the whole matching thing, I tend to never really match. Guess I've just been lazy lately that I hadn't really cared. *shrug*

I wish I cared more about my looks. Not caring makes it easier to get dressed in the morning, though. Wake up, throw on whatever hits you as you walk past the closet, put on a hat and go!

Of course, it makes it harder to pick up the ladies, so you have to be gifted with an irresistible charm and good oral skills. If ya know what I mean. I mean being win at conversing. I lack all of it, so I just cruise by unnoticed.

Honestly, that suits me just fine. Being 6' 6" tends to get you a lot of attention for a lot of wrong reasons. And getting laid is still doable, it just requires a bit more work. I often find that the reward is better when you did a lot of hard work to get it.

Not really, but it keeps my spirit up.

I can guarantee you, that if a girl is interested in you, she's not paying attention to what color your @#%^ing watch band is. Just sayin'. Also, I'm kinda tipsy. Went to karaoke tonight and had a friend I went to high school with come out with her hubby. They bought me like four drinks, and I had my first Jaeger bomb which wasn't too bad. But then she got upset because he was spending more time with me and my sister and her friend, than he was with her, and he got upset because she got upset, and it kinda killed my buzz. Thankfully, she wasn't mad at me (or at least she said she wasn't, you never can tell with women, lol), but I understand why she was upset. I'd get ticked off if John left me by myself and hung out with some other chicks for half the night too. Still I don't think she's really very happy with him, and it makes me sad. She confided in me a few months back that she hates him like 30% of the time, but she figured all marriages were like that. Um, no... no they're not. If you hate your husband that often, there's something wrong. I don't hate John ever, even when I'm mad at him. I feel bad for her, because she and I have known each other since we were 6 years old, and I want her to be happy and I don't think she is... I wish I could help.

I might not be deterred from someone in the first year of the relationship or so by watch bands, but it can be a factor and I totally appreciate when someone can dress well.

That being said, I am currently wearing a silver brooch, silver bangles and gold sandals. But that's because these sandals are my only comfortable shoes that aren't white (and even the white ones have a bit of gold) and my dress is black/yellow/teal.

I was gonna buy new shoes but then I bought this dress, and a pin and bangles for a reddit charity type thing.

OCD, it's a hell of a drug, amirite?

It's deep how you can be so shallow.

It's from centuries of being bred to be ninjas.

It's funny how people think they're superior because they're too insecure to admit to themselves that they are shallow, too.

You're surprised by that?

Also the sky, it's grey here, and drizzly.

Sounds like a stereotypical woman to me. *shrugs* I get what you're saying though Kali. Stupid things can be a tipping point for me too, if I'm already thinking about ending things. But having a watch band match shoes or a belt is not something that would bother me at all. Granted I'm not really all that into fashion. I like wearing cute clothes, but I don't tend to think about whether or not stuff matches.There's been more than one occasion where John has had me go change because what I was wearing clashed lol.

Goddamnit why is shipping across the world so expensive? Cheapest I can find is €59,60 for up to 10kg.

Edit: Also, the weather here is lame as @#%^ today, switching between sunny and nice to cold and rainy every half hour.

Yay Pigtails!

Now where's my mocha?

I'm rooting for Germany now, Schweinsteiger plays good ball.

Yeah, I fully admit the stuff is overpriced, but it sure is good.

Nope, never. There's way too much animosity between the Dutch and German teams and I honestly don't like the way they play. It's efficient, sure, but also boring. I'd rather see Spain win, they at least play offensive and fun football.

Edit: Rawdeal, would you be so kind to @#%^ off already? You seem to have fun with your rather pathetic and uninspired attempts at insulting people but next time if you must try at least be a little original. And I have to say that I am still hopeful that your earlier posts about your son were a lie because I can't imagine how embarrassing it must be to have a father who acts like a dumb, horny 14 year old on the internet, if you are old enough to have an 18 year old child and you still haven't evolved beyond putting a metaphorical frog down a girl's shirt to get her attention I don't know how on earth you ever got to procreate either (no, don't tell. I really don't want to know.)

All the South American teams tend to try to oversell every bump.

Beyond that, I'm apathetic towards the rest of the teams.

Edit: Guess I should mention I'm genetically obligated to root for Italy. Not that I follow or anything.

Oh god, no.

Fritz Potato Stout sounds awesome, I'd like to try that one.
Tomorrow I think I'll get some basic beer from my local supermarket, 20euros for 24 beers is a good deal.

Yup, that's the cheapest it gets here.

Trust me, I know that. But there's a big difference between a guy that dresses well and a guy that dresses like a slob. That was the point I was trying to make.

Also, it makes a difference to me. It doesn't matter that no one notices, it matters that I know. It's like when you're sleepy in the morning and you put on mismatching socks and you only realize it when you're halfway into your day; no one has or will notice your socks, but you know, and it makes you less comfortable.


I mainly find it to be a confidence thing. When you're a slob who doesn't know how to dress themselves and doesn't work out, you don't have much confidence in who you are. It's mental. And no girl, no matter who she is, is attracted to a guy with no self-confidence.


You're not into fashion at all, from what I've gathered. Which is cool, but lots of girls are. Or at least they'd definitely notice a guy that dresses well next to a guy that doesn't.

I wish I could show before/after pictures, because it would be way more evident how drastic a few changes in clothes can be. I went from baggy faded jeans, running shoes, and graphic tees to slim tailored dark wash jeans, loafers/Purcells, and blank athletic cut tees and the difference is pretty huge. It changed perceptions people have of me, frankly. Humans are visual in nature, and even if the price tag isn't that different between articles of clothing, fit and color is everything.
