So, here's a ponder. Do you guys have any long standing lies that you keep going? What are they and why?

I have this one friend at work who I talk to cause he's ridiculous which I find funny. He's clearly out of touch with reality in a lot of ways. Though this also leads to some creepiness. For instance one time I was at his place he showed me this big creepy folder of all these pictures of girls he knows. I never put 2 and 2 together that he's more or less a minor stalker. Anyway I've told him about the friend of a friend I have a crush on and then it became apparent that he was trying to stalk up any info possible on her. He assumes since I'm so picky this girl must be drop dead gorgeous (the only thing he looks for in a woman). So, he was trying to figure out where she worked and junk. I was like holy crap. So, ever since I started lying to him about her being in a long term relationship, lied about where she lives and never tell him when she's in town.

The problem with this is a bunch of guys are going to see watchmen this saturday and worlds are going to collide. One of my friends who was around when crush girl was in town a couple weeks ago is going and so is creepy friend. So, now I have to be like "hey normal friend...if creepy friend says anything about crush girl here are the lies that I'm telling him". Seriously how do those people who live dual lives pull everything off?

This issues only brings up more questions. I can't answer yours cuz mine is WHY IN THE FRAK ARE YOU HANING OUT WITH HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE??!!??!!

They weren't stalker pics from the bushes or anything. It was just like every picture ever taken of any female he knows. Even cousins of his and stuff. Really weird IMO.

As far as I know he's never actually done anything dangerous. I really don't think he ever would. He's actually a pretty nice guy deep down. Though it's still creepy enough to me that he would try to find this girl even just to meet her.

Even cousins? And you're ok with hanging with this guy? You feel safe? Oh yeah wait, you are a guy.... he didn't show you any guy files did he?

Too far? Just find one of these women and tell them about this and see what they think is too far. I bet they call the cops and slap him with a PPO so fast it will make his head spin if they don't arrest him right on the spot!

And don't fool yourself they might not have been stalker pics at the time, but they are now.

I'm going to second Kelkhil.
Your friend is likely what is referred to as a "love obsessional" he takes pics of these women because it fuels the fantasy that he has a relationship with them. He is likely very fun and nice, but that doesn't change the fact that his behavior already set off a warning bell in your head and you obviously have some concerns or you wouldn't have felt the need to lie to him. I'd flat out tell any girl you know that he has pictures of... Also I'd bet anything once you tell the girls none of them were aware he took pictures of them... that is CREEPY and then some and you also indicate that he has a strong fantasy life " can't tell real from fantasy" those are the hallmarks of someone starting on the path toward a major break down. Think about it... he blurs the line between fantasy and reality, keeps a creepy set of pictures of women, is overly inquisitive about a girl you are interested in, doesn't have any serious or real relationship in his life.... I just describe a love obsessional stalker and the path he's on ends BADLY. If you think he'd take it well tell him you're worried, if you don't think he'd deal well... you need to tell someone close to him or someone who would have access to him and counseling. And yes I would tell normal friend that you like the guy but have some concerns about his behavior and you don't want your crush to be in any kind of uncomfortable spot. Just tell him to ignore or change the subject when she comes up as a topic, and you do the same. If creepy asks say you know that info's not really your business and it bothers me that you'd ask.

Sure it seems weird. It doesn't scare me though. What do I care if he thinks his cousin is hot? She was in a beauty pageant apparently.

Yeah I feel totally safe around him because I'm a guy. No, I wouldn't want any of my female friends to hang around him. Mainly cause I know he's somewhat of a pervert. If I really thought he was dangerous I wouldn't be hanging out with him. I'm going to trust myself on that one.

Oh and perhaps I should note it was a folder on his computer not a physical folder. If that changes anything for you guys.

They're not pictures that these people didn't know about. They're pictures like from bbqs or gatherings like that where people look at the camera and smile. He's also had a girlfriend for going on a year now. Don't ask me how he's pulling that off.

His out of touch with reality stuff isn't about the women and some fantasy relationship. His stuff is more like he thinks he's so smart he can do anything. There's some contest to come up with really large prime numbers (used in digital security). He thought for sure he could win this contest. He's full of ridiculous notions like that which I find hilarious. He doesn't even have a math phd. What makes him think he can compete with computers and math geniuses to win this money? It's that type of stuff not "I think so and so is secretly in love with me".

ok but still you are uneasy enough about his dealings with women to lie to him.. and you said you wouldn't leave a woman alone with him.. not a great sign and the fact that he kept the pics is definitely not normal behavior... so I'd just tell him none of his business if he asks about the crush. Tell normal friend to dodge answering questions about crush girl and that you're just trying to keep things from being a hassle for her:)

I'm more uneasy about the impression someone might get of me if they don't know me too well but think "he's friends with that guy?". Meh whatever.

Most villians are unaware they are evil, just trying to do what's best for people and themselves.

Then there are those who perputrate villiany just for the sake of being evil.

Then we have people like her. Does good things and means to do good things but that evil side is stated as fact and not conjecture. Well, mostly. I think her mind just works way too fast.

Sounds like a huge issue the government has had for a very long time. Security supplied by civilian contractors is so far more expensive than having regular military do it. Yet there is so much spent on civilian contracts for not only security but communication, human services, and construction at an inflated rate. But that is the way special interests go. Give the contract to your buddies company and let them make some money. We have that here. The Good Ol' Boy System. Substandard work, inflated cost, and renewal of contracts are a regular occurance in the Good Ol' Boy System.

Well to make our system even more ridiculous it's not actually external contractors. It's really just another department in the same company but since we don't own the people we have to pay for the work as they size it. So, they decided to lay one person off from one department in order to ship money to some other department for the same work and pay for like 3 of their people. I'm sure they're all patting themselves on the backs over how much money they saved too.

I don't like this morning. It's gloomy out so I just want to sleep and I woke up with a sore throat. Don't feel sick yet but I'm betting it's coming.

Oh sweety I'm sorry you're not feeling well. At least it's Friday and you can rest this weekend HUGS

I don't mean good morning as in yay it's morning...more good morning = not throwing up and got more than 4 hours of sleep:)

I'm actually not feeling bad...yet. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I'm not missing watchmen dang it...I don't care how sick I am I'm seeing that violence, adult language, sexual content and nudity. God bless America.

I wanna see Watchmen!! So unfair how its an 18 =(

Mum wouldn't've known what age it was, thus wouldn't've cared.

Bah .. big brothers are mean.

Apart from that, my life's shiny. (Y)

I'm totally desensitized to violence against people. I just get bored watching movies like saw. So, what if somebody get's pulled apart medieval times style? *yawn*

Cruelty to animals would be much more shocking but I'd also be pissed.

Totally with you on that Zeek..

Wakeup- it's your brother's job to be an overprotective numbskull.... just wait til you get a serious boyfriend and your brother threatens to break all his bones if he touches you.

Oh, I've already thought of that ... any boyfriend would never meet my brothers (: That'd class as cruelty.

To be fair guys only act that way cause we know what we're like. Honestly if women got a chance to live in an adolescent male's mind for a week I think they'd run for the hills. So, don't take it like your brothers don't trust you. They just don't trust guys in general.

After seeing watchmen I wouldn't really say it's too unfair that it got rated 18. It wound have earned that rating based on the amount of nudity and sex on top of the violence I imagine. Violence doesn't get ratings as high as it used to on its own. Though it is pretty violent.

As for the protective older brother thing, as an older brother I can say, tis cause we actually do think we're doing good. Though by most standards I'm a very unprotective older brother.

So, they don't trust their own sex? Their own friends even? How odd ...

Lol. I know some people who took the whole morning off to go see it en masse, and some people who have lock out for a patch coming up on Monday and actually have to, you know, work.

And then there's me, who's been sitting in comfy house clothes all day and hasn't showered yet, working on several of my projects and and random stuff for a Chinese client. I'm going to the early matinee tomorrow, hehe.

And I did get your PM, though the email it gets sent through is wonky, so it's a crap shoot every time -- I've gotten one from you in the last three months maybe? Hopefully you haven't been sending tons.

But I did get the one. I just came by and lurked and didn't have time to post. But on that note --

Congrats MsA and NVG! Awesome news!

oooooooooh bbq.

methinks u need to teach my bf's friends how to plan a guy's nite at the movies, because whenever they go to the movie theater, they pick the WORST movie on screen to spend nine dollars on. ><;; the bf goes to hang out with friends, but holy crap, i think there were maybe two occasions where they actually saw something acceptable ><

Hopefully the day has ended for you Zeek:)

LOL yeah I mostly have that adolescent male thing, or at least I can translate... does make me less than useful with adult women though:)

Well the bbq will be served by hot women in skimpy outfits if it makes you feel any better. Also I think I see about one movie every other month or less these days because of the crap that hollywood keeps churning out. There's really not much to choose from most of the time.

exactly, but still these kids pick the worst of the worst to watch and its like "have you *seen* the previews? can't you tell its a waste of money?" the bf isn't involved in the decision making, but still, come *on* ><;; thats why u need to give them a pep talk on how to not go see bad movies lol :P

I'd say that it got the rating it deserved. This woman brought her two kids to see it, not sure if she knew what it was about or not, but they couldn't have been more than 5 and 7 years old.

After she didn't take them out after the first 15 minutes I wanted to yell out "What the hell is wrong with you?".

OMG I thought the same thing, ZEROKIRYU. There were little kids all over the place in my theater and I was like "holy hell this is violent". Parents should have been grabbing their kids and leaving pretty darn early in that film.

I'm glad I'm desensitized to violence though. Cause some of those scenes were pretty brutal. That is a guy's night movie if I've ever seen one though. I won't ruin it but some of those scenes were like blatant "guy's perspective!!!" scenes.

I think I've got random symptom disorder MsA. I still don't feel very sick. My sore throat lasted for a while. Then last night I got a crazy runny nose when I was going to sleep and couldn't fall asleep for like an hour or so...that sucked. So, I finally got up and downed some nyquil. Today runny nose is still going on. Argh.

At least I don't feel bad yet. I wish whatever I have would just get it over with already.

Edit: not that I have allergies. That's crazy talk.

MSA

Monday, March 9, 2009 11:03 PM

yeah getting it checked will let you figure out what you're allergic to so you can avoid it and give you meds that will make you feel better... as long as it's not a severe reaction you don't have to medicate it, but if your lips feel numb or your tongue swells go to the ER

well it depends...since this is recent it could be something like a co-workers perfume. New plant at his apartment...anything. It's actually easier than you think to avoid...but the new meds aren't so bad ( or so I hear I can't take them)
