There's only a handful of attractive females at my school, most dress conservatively. One girl went from being a goth slut to a blonde preppy chick. Talk about role reversal. Anyway what oils my gears? My math teacher is attractive. Today she was wearing like yoga pants or something. While everyone was doing her work she was at her desk, and she dropped something and bent over.

Summers almost here and for once I actually have plans for the summer instead of sleeping all day and staying up until 5AM playing PS3. I'll be working 3 days a week and the other days I'll probably be hanging out with some friends. Only 8 more days.

Well, after a year long absence, I finally found...my original GT5 disk! (It was Collector's edition) It had been gone ever since PSN was hacked and was shut down for a long time. For some reason I can't remember, I didn't really touch my PS3 and put my games into hibernation. However, I still played GT5 without PSN but afterwards put that away as well... Unfortunately I put it somewhere else instead of placing it with all the other PS3 games. And from then on, I "lost" it. While trying to find my pencil I dropped, I looked under my bed and found my GT5 copy! Ever since I lost it, my brother bought me another copy, but it never felt the same as my original copy. Oiling my gears for sure!

From about 11 AM on and off throughout today I have been playing the keyboard and singing (practising an original song). I've got the keyboard up reasonably loud and I'm singing quietly so not to be heard. I played for two hours on and off, gave it a 3 hour break, played a little bit at 4, and then again just now, I stop and I can hear my sister complaining about how I've been playing constantly all day, and how I woke her up. Yet when she's crashing around in her wardrobe doing weights, and trying to keep fit from hours 11 PM - about 1 AM, sometimes as late as 3 (it wakes me up when I should be asleep to prepare for not sleeping at school) it's fine. Why this oils my gears, because it's damn hilarious. When she started complaining, I just turned it up even louder.

I was doing a free run room on GT5 for about two hours on Trial Mountain and it was quite enjoyable. Asides from one random idiot ramming others, I met a group of pretty cool randoms. Disconnected because it's storming though.

Speaking of finding disks, a couple of days back I found my GT3 + GT4 discs. The GT3 one is scratched quite badly but surprisingly it still works as if it was brand new. But unfortunately this isn't the case for the GT4 disc. Although the disc isn't as scratched compared to the GT3 one, I've come to the point where the disc is "dying" and it takes a lot of persuading for the PS2 to read the game. One day I feel like it will leave earth and fly up to the heavens
.Also going go-karting tomorrow (or later on today even, since it's past midnight), and that oils my gears quite nicely. Slightly off-topic, but what grinds my gears is that I have to go to school tomorrow. Ugh, it never ends, does it?

Just discovered a girl from the same school that I go to, lives in my apartment building. She's probably in Grade 11, which means she'll likely be in the same age group as me

It's time for another lengthy post.
What currently oils my gears so much that I'm about to post epic proportions of text about it? It's Schadenfreude. (Good thing that word comes from my mothertongue!)
So what am I so maliciously gleeful about? Those who remember the Gear Grinder thread may also remember my walls of text of rants. Now my very first rant was about a guy whose relationship with a girl broke up and who was being very annoying because he was trying to find another girl as soon as he could, messing with some female friends of mine in the process. As you might guess I was not amused, hence the post in the Gear Grinder thread.
Well guess what, he was at it again. This is remotely related to his previous "efforts" and almost the same situation, except now I'm happy about it because I know he's not going to try again so soon
In late January this year, he managed to establish another relationship. This time, she went to our school, so naturally their relationship got all the more attention from the people around them, including me. Now things started out just great like I totally expected. To be honest everybody was laughing at them. I know that's definitely not fair, and I wasn't among the laughing people (in fact, I was rather enraged about this relationship because once again he made about every single mistake you could ever make), but you really should have seen them.
The publicity of this relationship made the sheer awkwardness of it stick out all the more. It seemed like both of them didn't know how to handle such a public relationship. They were rarely ever showing that they were "in love" with each other, and when they did it was usually an extremely clumsy-looking pat on the back (not kidding here. He patted her on the back ) or a speed-of-light kiss that certainly neither of them enjoyed.
Since I was (and still am) a friend of his, he told me he was going for it way before he actually did, and so I thought I knew about the circumstances. That was partly true. For instance, the same evening he went on the golden date with her he told me that his first and foremost requirement for this relationship is that she changes her Facebook relationship status right away so everybody would know about it. (I'm really not making this up, you have to believe me) So considering this act of stupidity, you would think both of them were brave enough to lead an open and public relationship, right? Wrong.
The aforementioned awkward situations were just tips of icebergs. Every single time they had contact everyone would quit what they were doing right away, turn around, look at them and mostly burst out in laughter afterwards because everything they did was so "not in love", actually they wouldn't even have counted as friends or acquaintances. It didn't take long for everyone to seriously doubt their relationship as a "love" relationship.
Our theory was simple, and, as proven later, correct: This relationship existed just for calling it a relationship, just for the status.
Question: Why the 🤬 would you have such a pretentious relationship if there's no real love involved? That said there was a slight catch in our theory: He certainly had strong feelings for her, or at least a lot more than she had for him.
Remember how I said "partly true" before? Only later did I find out that I knew just a bit of this whole mess surrounding the establishment of this relationship. I am friends with his ex-girlfriends female best friend. Turns out that she, like about all the people from our grade, found this relationship to be incredibly silly as well. Thus she was in a similar situation as me, and so among other people from our grade we'd talk about this topic now and then, and I'd get some very valuable information about his ex-girlfriend's view of things. Of course that was "top secret", but nobody really cared. One thing she told me is that right before the golden date, when he asked her out, his ex-girlfriend told her that she thinks he's "ugly" and "disgusting", only to change her opinion a few hours later to an enthusiastic "I love him". Soon though, the former opinion settled. So to summarize: She didn't even like him that much from the start.
Sadly, his view was completely different. He loved her almost obsessively. But, of course, there's another catch: He wasn't in love with her just for the talking and hugs and kisses. He wanted sex.
That's where she didn't play along for the aforementioned reasons, and we think that's where the relationship failed ultimately.
On Monday, she broke up with him.
That's what oils my gears. Schadenfreude. My malicious glee. I know it's mean, it really is. But he deserves it for being such an attention whore. This relationship was based on a whole load of nothing and yet he tried to make us believe it was everything for him. He was being pretentious and bragging, and for that I think he deserves it. In fact, he deserves it for having learned nothing from his previous relationship, which broke in a very very similar fashion. But the difference is this time he learned not to run around like a maniac giving all the girls a hard time due to him being a pain in the 🤬.
Excuse the wall of text, but that sure felt good.
See you around,
