What Grinds your Gears?

[Beeblebrox237]

So, tonight I went to the Pittsburgh auto show. It was pretty nice, to a point. I saw an LFA, SLS, R8 V-10 roadster, and a ZR1. So, later, I'm sitting in this new Camry, and I accidentally hit a stalk on the steering wheel. Instantly, I hear this loud, electronic tone that surrounds me. I'm sitting there in horror, trying to figure out what I've done to the car, when my mother comes over and ushers me out of the car. It's then that I realise that it's not the car making the noise. It was the fire alarm.

She was over her boy toy the last 2 hours.

So not your 'friend'? Apologies for not being up to date with it all. I got confused when you said she was all over 'some guy', wasn't sure who.

It's never easy, friend. If they're not interested in you, nothing feels as bad. Until you see them with someone else. I've been through that particular experience before and it was truly horrible. But if her being all over someone else and not being interested in you that way is making you feel this bad, is she really worth your time? Regardless of whether she's hurting you directly/indirectly or voluntarily/involuntarily, this girl is making you feel absolutely terrible. Surely you don't deserve that do you? You don't deserve to feel cast aside. You deserve someone who can truly appreciate you and make you smile and feel warm.

When someone else says "Oh I've been there" it's quite easy to brush it off like they don't know what it's really like but I have been in a situation where I felt incredibly strongly for someone but she didn't feel the same way and was with other guys around me. It was bloody awful. Nobody deserves to feel that way. It's a test of your own character whether you will wallow in your own pity like I did (3 years long) or be proactive and do something that will benefit you.

By all means be upset and aggrieved. Life is a b!tch. But don't let it consume you. Come out in fighting spirits.

Oh no he is my friend too!!!!!!
Thanks for the advice. I really feel like ***. *sigh*

I got Quantum of Solace free with my PS3, haven't even played it. I watched my bro have a shot once and I could never be bothered.

It's free so who's complaining?

As I've said before, you will forget about it. Just set your mindset to other things. And even more-so, it will be difficult to dissipate the feelings. So the only way for that work-around is to ignore her attempts to hurt you. As to what Mazda said, no one deserves to become soulless because of that.

Nice people that are turned into bad people. Like one person has become their friend and has been a bad influence, or their bad luck turns and then they make you back away by being so up them selves. So pretty much change in general Grinds my Gears.

As the saying goes, beating a dead horse. Complain about the same things over and over wishing for the same things over and over. It just gets plain old after awhile.

 

[Patrick]

I don't why, but I can't beat the new TT seasonal.

 

[mattythedog]

What I did was send a Valentines card and wrote a couple of paragraphs with my thoughts towards her ad then at the end I put "Will you be my girlfriend"

I don't know anything else yet because I put it in the Valentines card box on the last day before half term break

Though that is a bit cheating, not asking her out face-to-face.

I hate waking up at ridiculous-o-clock, it's too early for a weekend, but I have to because I'm going to some Cycling event that starts at 9AM.

Ah don't worry about it. It's better then not sleeping at all.. Or losing a Competition on how much a years worth of TopGear magazines weigh and actually weighing them out and still losing by 300grams

 

[mattythedog]

But not sleeping at all was your choice, I have no choice in what time I have to wake up this morning.

Not really, I think I have either Insomnia or Narcalepsy (Can't spell it but I think it means that I'm basically nocturnal.) but when I try to go to sleep i just can't and end up awake all night cause I get bored of trying to sleep.

Hell I'd rather go to bed at 10 and wake up at 8 in the morning..

Rather then ending up with no sleep and having no energy left all day and my body giving in by mid day and having a nap for a couple hours and then not being able to sleep again the next night.. At least I wouldn't lose my day.

Ah, ok. My science teacher last year had Insomnia, and she never let us forget it. She went on and on about it...

Matty you need to try and overlap yourself.

Edit: mattymc96 that is

Yeah, it only ever happens when I'm on break from school though. My science teacher was a real busy body.. Would not stop working even through both breaks all day almost every day.. Hated her.. At least I never have to sit in her science room again

Ugh, the reverse grid in a Suzuki Swift championship race and making my way up from second last but this guy, with all credit was good at defending, had inherited the pole after finishing last and couldn't get around him and he wrecked my race as I was squeezed into the wall alongside him and went down to 5th, worse being that I'm now 3rd place in the championship 10 points down into the final round, luckily it's at Nurburgring GP/D, a track I haul ass at, there's hope for this championship still.

Apparently a lot of people have things to say at this thread about our latest meeting.

I dunno where you got that quote from but I know exactly who he's on about and can be 100% sure if that person put him off track into a wall he'd let him back through..

My life was gong perfectly fine about a week ago, I was happy with everything. I had nothing to hide, School was actually enjoyable, and I was feeling rather relaxed... But as soon as my mate tries getting me with the girl that's been mentioned before it's been getting more stressful. He thinks that life is about girls, I can honestly swear! The only time he's happy is if he's gossiping about you or he's with some girl who he thinks likes him. He also thinks that everyone else is like that, or is like that but is hiding it. Which it would appear he thinks I am. So he's one of many who is trying to pushing me into her. But I don't want to, I'm happy being single. I have no intentions on finding a girl any time soon. Now I have to hide the secret from everyone that I don't actually like her, because I know everyone will just start telling me how stupid it is, or how disappointed they are in a useless attempt to make me change my mind, or to make me feel bad.

As I said, I'm happy with myself as a general person. I enjoy being single as I don't have to constantly be doing something, I can do my work and then spend the rest of the time relaxing. That's how I like my life. I don't like people pushing me into things, because it only makes me not want to do it even more; I don't like to hide things but some things are just hard to break to people, especially without hurting any of them. I don't like stress. But all people are doing right now is trying to cause that so some girl can go out with someone who really doesn't feel the same!

The cause of another outburst of this problem is that I just got a phone call and the caller was trying to make me go to a thing this weekend where she would be at... I'd already said no, but then they try again just now!

I feel like I'm the only one who is happy with the outcome.

Well said Alex.

But if I was you I'd go with whoever the female caller was. Sounds like it would be a fun thing for you to go to. I don't know what I can and can't say due to younger readers, and the fact I dont know your age. But I say go for it and be with that girl.

But then again as you said your happy as you are, and you like not having to worry about anything.

Seems like you've got yourself into a pickle, or whatever you kiwi's call it.

Anyway, you seem to know what you want to do so, do what you want. It's your life, not mine, not your friend who keeps trying to change your mind about that girl. So do whatever makes you happy 'cause at the end of the day it's your life 👍

Wait! Wouldn't you have had to go on my profile to know my first name. Then how don't you know my age (it's there). Anyway, yeah I'm just going to stick with getting out of it.

 

[Daniel]

There are so many Alex's! You, Vandenal, Alex p., Alex., AlexGTV and that's all off the top of my head

Oh, when I checked on my phone earlier it didn't say age It was easier to get your first name then try spell Skython (not realising it would have been in front of me anyway).

Since your a couple months older then me anything I said would have only got me in trouble from the mods about being... slightly too colourful..

And I would have just resorted to replying, "You dirt dirty bastard!"

 

[Matty]

And I wouldn't be able to disagree

Are we allowed to say Bast**d on GTP?

If yes I'm deighted

I think it's very borderline. Words that aren't allowed get turned into **** from past experience.
