Naked aqatic Naval-gazing? ~shrugs~ Gaze away!
Good night FaWtL
Hm. Interesting.And it drives my family - who, for the most part, are all "people persons" - absolutely bonkers.
It's unfortunate that you are the odd person out, but it's comforting to know how you are different and to be able to put a face on it. I'm still "strange" to my mother and father both, although as we have gotten older, I'm seeing I he a lot of strangeness from my father (and vice versa).
This is also good.
That describes it pretty accurately. ** spoiler omitted **do yo dislike society and prefer individuals? That's a possibility.Ever have one of those days when it feels like the world is filled with idiots and jerks? (Not that those are mutually exclusive categories, mind you.)
(And no, this is not a normal mindset for me. I'm not a particularly social person, but I don't usually dislike humanity in general. :P)
Mrgh.
Yeah it's been one of those days.

Yeah. I deal fine, mostly just keep to myself and hang out on the internet. Which as much as it irritates them, they don't bug me about it too much, which I'm thankful for. I imagine if I was younger they'd be a bit more forceful about it.

Ain't a bug, that's a perk.
In North America, it's been renamed "canola oil". It has its uses, and can be heated to a higher temperature than olive oil, so is better suited for certain types of frying.About eight years ago, in my hometown, a tanker car filled with canola oil went off the rails and dumped its entire payload into a local swamp. This sounds like the setup for a joke, but it's not. It's just weird.
That's one well lubed swamp.
FRAK!
Dentist appt tomorrow for the root canal restoration and a lower bridge I have pops off at lunch. Revealing, of course, the other tooth that has been giving me problems. And the reveal looks severe. I am going to blow past my insurance limit. Damn! Why couldn't it have been OK until January?!
Shoot me now.
Double ouch.
I hope you can work out something that doesn't break the bank.
Navel gazing?
Now I am thinking of a bellybutton with a gaze attack.Would you prefer it if I'd said I was engaging in omphaloskepsis?
(Admittedly, I was using 'navel-gazing' more colloquially, but it's really a thing!)
I'll be dipped. I learned something new and and odd.
Stormfront just blew through. Knocked over one tent and shifted the other two a few feet. Soaked everything. Today is going to be a b#@&$.
Embrace the suck?
(sorry)

That's AWESOMELY COOL. And very educational. What does the niece or nephew do when poked this way?I actually had an employee ask for time off tomorrow so that they could go on an interview.
While I'd like to attribute this to uber-honesty I have to remind myself that this same person called off sick a couple of weeks ago and then posted on FB that they were having a great time at the waterpark. (Ratted out by a coworker with printout of said post)
*facepalm*
Has anyone coined the phrase, Cyber-Stupid?
Couillon - This is pronounced Coo-Yawn with the accent on the 2nd syllable Yawn. The "n" is almost silent. Don't put any drawl on the second syllable. It should be a quick sharp 2nd syllable and nasally sounding. This Cajun word means stupid, idiot or fool. "A village idiot who has lost his village."
C'est sa Couillon - Cajun phrase calling someone a fool "It is a fool". A common act is to thump your niece or nephew with your finger while saying "C'est sa couillion".
Being in Kansas I would not know. I think my 32 year old niece would slug me.

WOW.Yesterday was 25 degree C. Today is 15... I'd be ok with that except it is raining a bit.
Kujon [kuyon]? It's Polish equivalent of nerd!
No relation to Cajun term as related by CJ, however.
Kujon is derived from verb kuć [k-u-soft and short ch] - to forge, to hammer, to beat - which is often used to refer to unimaginative learning by heart as "hammering".
EDIT: And it is not related to Swedish valor-impaired term, unless they decided to steal our word to twist its meaning completely WHEN THEY STOLE EVERYTHING THAT WASN'T NAILED DOWN in XVII century!
** spoiler omitted **
Damn rain. Two hour walk in the rain is not what I am looking forward...
Well, what were we supposed to do? There was nothing left to steal in Germany. And we did let you keep that black Madonna you keep singing about. ;)
(And the Swedish term is apparently derived from a French word, derived from the Latin for testicles - so our Kujon is the same as Spanish Cojones, but rather different in meaning. (Which amuses me.)
Which would make it derived from the same sources as the Cajun term.

Sounds much like me. Love people hate stupidity. What is one to do?

Your niece is a year younger than me?
Is everyone I know getting married? This is ridiculous. Or, it would be, if I was invited to any of the weddings. Clearly, they know me.
Are you that guy that ends up hurled into the cake at every reception?
However, I see myself changing towards 'cranky old hermit' as I get older. ;PI'm 27 so old doesn't apply, but "cranky" and "hermit" do. I'm pretty grouchy and asocial (I don't have the aggression or anything else required to actually be ANTIsocial, I'm too apathetic), and have repeatedly used the phrase "urban hermit" to describe myself. >_>
Heh, well, seeing as how I seem to have an almost 20 year lead on you, I'm gonna go ahead and claim the 'Old & Cranky' adage to my profile. :)
Although, like you, I'm far too lazy, (sorry, 'completely unmotivated') to actually go to the trouble to be anti-social. ;)
Besides, what the fun in being 'Old & Cranky' if there's no one around to listen to you gripe?!? :D
Annnnnd, Good Night FAWTL-ies!

I'm more the guy who gets in a fistfight with the best man, and then tries to make out with the bride, all while sober.

And a year older than my wife. Good thing my Sister has 10 years on me or it would seem a little weird.
You're not the first to say it BT. :P
I hope it goes better, but my mind is still boggled that you can post about it. Your Army is a vastly different beast than mine back in the day.

People are a mixed bag, but I hate me some stupid, and there is a God awful lot of stupid to go around.

You're my son in law's age.
I love my son in law!
Crap, I'm old!
(At least my grand kids are awesome!)

I know it's absurd, but keep working at it.
This is a running joke with me and Diane for what it's worth. :)

I really should have had you at my wedding. I'm sure my best may would have beaten the crap out of you though, but it would have been hilarious watching you try to make out with my wife while utterly blitzed.

Nice to know what I have to look forward to =) And yes that's meant to be taken as a compliment.
Okay, time to head off to work.
Compliments on crankiness, and apparently Shiny is VERY entertaining at weddings,...
Slow day thus far.
So tired. This has been a truly awful cold. Gonna go try to study without coughing up a lung....not likely, but gotta try. >.<
Gotta drop my Trailblazer off at the shop today. Stoopid check engine light keeps coming on at random times. Since I don't really need it anytime soon, I figured I can let them check it out.

Sheesh, a guy does that once....
What Lynora said, but replace coughing up the lung with not being able to walk straight.
I actually don't remember ever going to a wedding.
~sighs~ I so hope that my coworker will be nice and give me a booty call or two this weekend. I could use them. ~sighs again~ I HATE HATE HATE being behind on my bills. It sucks big time.
What does your coworker pay?

I think it might be a Tensor gone bad, but I have not the means to figure out which one.
Judging solely by appearances ...
All of them.
