    1. noun; the act or process of locating.
    Don't worry about telling people your job. When I first moved back into whatever city I live in now, I looked through the want ads and found a job opening for phone sex operators. I seriously considered it, after four months of unemployment. it kind of gets lost in the typing, but if you listen to this next sentence carefully, you can hear that I have the right voice for phone sex.

    Heeeey, baby. Let me throw my dick at your boobs.

    Ladies (or anyone with boobs, really), please try to restrain yourselves!

    Boo. On the selfish side, means we'll lose your WF omnipresence :confused: The oblique takes, the observations, the witticisms—downing our dosage you mean man.

    No mans, it means material.

    Also 'Project Rental on the Cliff' only works if I contribute minimum of 1% finance, and on. And I don't think I won the Northern Book Prize. For a whole month I was ending every argument with 'when I win the Northern book prize you'll be sorry you ever criticised me, you loser. Anyway honey, you are very good at IT, you keep going, darling.'

    'But I just want some chickens and some flowers in my garden. I fakking hate them.'

    'Get back to work I am writing! Money, give me money...sing baby, sing, SING, IBM, IBM , IBM!'

    'ibm, boo hoo, I hate it.'

    Almost done with the short I have been working on.
    It will probably be just under 8k when it is finished. :p

    I got a 98/100 on my mid-term for my North America After the Ice Age class!

    It was originally a 93, but I turned it in early so I got five extra points. :p

    for wimps like me, is there a PG 17, or a rated R? In a sense is there a censored version, LOL.

    It would be pretty short if I managed to censor it.
    Although I could possibly re-work it into a creepy/ritual
    pasta, if I work out the erotica bits. :p

    Got the dates for my vacation!

    That means I can start planning 12 super awesome days in England with my beloved Lost guy :love:

    ETA:

    Deadpool on Tuesday and it's going to be amazing!

    A sequel to my favorite movie and it's most likely not to suck. Only downside is that I'll have to go by myself, but then again self-dating is totally a form of dating!

    I know he's in Scotland as we speak, but I have no clue where. Lost enough?

    Though he'll be the Lost guy for me at the forum. LostThePlot seems a bit formal, and it would be rude to use his real name or any nickname he might've acquired these past months. Though if I ever go back to calling him Paddington I promise to use that instead ;)

    I suppose that will have to do. :p

    My fair maiden is lost somewhere out there in the vast unkown.
    Ah who am I fooling you have to be in a relationship before you
    can lose them anywhere. But if I had to have happened to lose
    a loving lady, can't get more lost than amongst the stars and
    planets. Can't give 'em sticky note to watch out for comets. :p

    Not really sure a literal meat market is the place to go.
    I get judged enough already. Cause Tinder is the place
    to meet and bang isn't it? IDK...I lack much information
    on it, other than you just swipe one or the other based
    on whether you think the person is hot or not.
    Seems a shallow pond if that's all it is.

    I am now off to go and gather some harder intel, than
    just what I have heard in rumors around the water cooler. :)

    ETA: Well tried to check out their site, and it was not very
    user friendly with my computer. But what little I could find
    out it pretty much lives up to the rumors round the cooler,
    just a little less over hyped version of IRL Fuck or Pass game.
    More a To Coffee or Not To Coffee, type place based on the
    little info collected.
    And again the site did not let me try and sign in, so I am guessing
    I weren't purdy enough to join and browse. :(

    I guess it depends on where you live, but I've seen plenty of guys looking for relationships on Tinder. I looked for a relationship on Tinder just a few months ago! And... getting laid isn't the worst thing in the world if that would to come to that, right? Not that I would know. I never get laid. It's actually quite sad. Don't do long distance relationship, man. It's totally worth it, but still... don't!

    But yes. You swipe based on looks or presentation. So it might be slightly... or very much... shallow. But even a ugly duckling like me got plenty of swipes!

    Except the forum the only other place I've found serious partners has been UNI Halloween-parties, so can't really give you any other advice than crash a Halloween-party? Or just throw a novels worth of your personal issues at someone at the forum. Either or.

    Its ok. Tindr did not want to work for me, so I left empty somethinged
    due to it not wanting to cooperate with me.

    At least I am feeling a smidge better than this morning.
    Got my Mickeys, and watching a show that I enjoy. :)

    Tinder is really great to look at in the Scandinavian region (Eye candy for both sexes to enjoy, females for me). When I went to Norway to visit my long time bud, I met a few hangout buddies through the app. Sexy times were optional. :bigwink:

    I can see why some wouldn't like it though. I don't use it here stateside.

    I've only used Tinder in Sweden. I think living here all my life has made me immue to eye candy, or I live in a meh-city.

    Or I swiped anyone people would concider eye candy in the wrong direction because I can't take people with bare chests and bad profiles serious.

    Haha, I actually saw some of those silly pictures on there. Like this one girl with a really bad tan and extra fat lips with bright pink lipstick. Then another had this girl with muscles and pigtails. She had her chest puffed out and made me feel less like a man. o_O

    With all yall around I will have written a libraries worth of shorts
    with all the ideas you give me. (Should work on my WIP, but writing
    is writing they say) :p

    Unfortunately I will have to put this new idea on hold at the present,
    as I have already started on another short.
    But rest assured there will be one in the future about a 43 yr old guy
    with a beer belly, and bad comb-over, walking his goat down the road
    drinking a Pabst Blue ribbon wearing only flip flops and worn cutoff
    jeans.
    I see this hairy piece of beefcake having a future on a dating site. (Rawrrr!) :p


    I haz no life. :p

    I gave girls more passes than guys back when I did Tinder, but I'm not very popular amongst the lesbians. 90% of girls looking for girls on Tinder are either straight or a (straight) couple anyway.

    But I wasn't really out for a hook up with either gender so I did look more on the profiles than picture. Guess I'm not cut out for dating in 2018.

    I mean @LostThePlot had me charmed before I even saw my first picture of him - and when I did get to see him it was ridiculous work-related pictures. He's a very handsome man, though, so I'm not going to complain.

    I can confirm I am very charming and arguably handsome.

    I can also confirm that the first time Lemie saw pictures of me I was being the test guinea pig for an EEG machine; I figured that in this day and age ladies like to see that your brain works properly. T'was a good day at work though :D

    I woke up in pain this morning, and by the time I'd dressed for work it had gone so bad I texted my colleague to say I wouldn't be in today. It turned out, mysteriously, that by 9.45am, or 45 minutes after my official start time, the pain had virtually vanished. I feel none at all now. So it looks like I'll have myself three nice long weekends instead of just two this May. Because I didn't plan this I can't feel guilty about it.

    I just realized I goofed up on my math here. I was feeling the WC was a bit low and I realized what I did.... I counted the sheets of paper, which was 70, however, I use both sides, thus it is in actuality 140 pages per notebook. (Modify for College/Wide notebooks) so.

    My World Counts for:
    NB1 is 23,760
    NB2 is 21,574
    Total is: 45,334/wc (estimated) and this number does not include the 3rd notebook and missing scenes, and of coarse anything I might add in the revision. :)

    Edit-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Well, without an Epilogue (which I do plan on having one, it's just a cliched heroes return. :p ) my world count is....

    NB 3 is 17, 066

    for a Grand total of 62,400 WC, estimated of course. I know there are a few scenes missing, and of course a little extra in the detail department and whatever else I didn't think of on the first go around.
