Update for Everyone VII: Insert Something Philosophical Sounding Here

Should hopefully be in our new home by March Good deal on the mortgage but a little gutted to become a bourgeois property owner.

So I sat down in my Law & Order class today, as my teacher was writing stuff down on the chalkboard. I started noticing that I had shorter breathing and a lighter head. Turns out this b!tch sitting across from me decided to whip out a giant bag of Reese's and hand out cups to half the class, and I was getting an allergic reaction. So yeah, I panicked, headed to the back left corner of the room where I was as far away from the peanut butter cup fiesta as possible. However, it was futile, the short breathing didn't stop, it was literally the only thing I could think about, I couldn't bother to listen to my teacher talking about drunk driving and hate crimes, as I was too busy trying to make sure I was still breathing. I stormed out of the room, and I was in the hallways short-of-breath and lightheaded, with pain in my mouth and walking like I was drunk. A teacher in an empty room with the door open looked away from his laptop and noticed me, and after I told him the story, he helped escort me to the nurse's office downstairs where I'd drink some water and try to get away from the reaction. I started to feel better, although it briefly came back when this diabetic person came down because he needed sugar, and so they handed him a Reese's cup, so the reaction came back for a couple minutes. Now, I'm currently in my English class afterwards typing this out, and I'm starting to feel better, although I am still a little lightheaded and laboring my breathing. This isn't even the first time something like this has happened before, similar stories have occurred with a girl sitting next to me in History last year eating a Reese's cup herself, as well as something happening in English this year with a gal and her peanut butter Rice Krispie treat she decided to eat in the middle of class.

So yeah. Fun. :/

you know, when I was looking for colleges, I never would have thought I would settle for somewhere in Alabama of all f**king places.

My primary ballot right now. I was going to vote on the first day I could on February 18, now I think I will wait till supertuesday, to see how Biden does, I really want to vote for him, but I will vote for anyone who has the best chance to beat Bernie besides Warren. Of course I will vote for whoever the nominee is. I’ll probably still end up voting for Biden in the primary, but it makes me sad that I can no longer guarantee it .

the inevitable Bernie will be in Greenville for a rally tomorrow. Gonna try and show up early and maybe even get a picture with him if possible. Bunch of other people on his campaign will be there too I think, Nina Turner etc.

At Western Union today. A (perfectly healthy looking) Asian/Chinese guy goes to the counter and gives some money to change. Once the transaction is done and the guy leaves the store, the man at the counter closes the queue and the employees start disinfecting everything. Wtf.

During the DeSantis-Putnam primary, my friend who was involved in the upper level of the DeSantis used to roast Putnam for hosting public BBQs attended only by members of the Young Republicans wearing Columbia shirts.

What, did DeSantis supporters instead sport the much higher quality Magellan shirts?

DeSantis support was widespread among wearers of many shirts or douchebags with no shirts at all.

The year is 2021.

Trump has won re-election, and the stock market is at all time highs. TSLA has just joined the trillion dollar club. Elon Musk is seen dancing on stage with his new Grimes lovechild. The baby cannot yet walk on its own, but has been strapped into a mech suit and is able to dance via neural ink.

NOT-QE has been extended indefinitely and permabears are being dragged out into the streets and guillotined by order of the Fed Chairman. wallstreetbets autists have finished buying up Detroit to establish an SEC-free zone.

I've gotten myself into a tough situation from the opposite place I usually am:

So, last week, I decided to give a try to the new Facebook Dating feature.  On Sunday, I matched with this girl, and we started to text.  On paper, it seems like a really good fit- she seems like a very strong Christian, she has some similar interests, we have talked over text about all of the moral issues, etc.  But, tonight is the night that we are supposed to get dinner, and I'm just feeling like I'm not interested at all.

Part of it is something that I probably overlooked at first.  She's 20 and I'm 23; I didn't view that as a big deal at first, but, the more I think about it, she is a sophomore in college and I've been out of college for a year and a half.  We are just at completely different stages in our lives.  When I text with her, I'm starting to feel that majorly for some reason.  But, I think there is something else at play here too- every night, I go to bed thinking about a girl from my church, not this girl I'm supposed to get dinner with.  The problem is that I know that my friend from church (who is still a very good friend) isn't interested because I asked her in July.  So, I feel like I have to move on, but, when I try, I can only think of her.

The other side of this is that it's not that often that I get dates, so now that I have a girl who seems like a very sweet and nice person interested in going out with me, part of me feels like I would be making a big mistake by turning it down.  Regardless, it's too close to the date to cancel without being a total jerk, so maybe it will go better than I expect it to.  I've never met her, so maybe I am underselling her based solely on texts.

I want a wife and kids so badly, and every other time I have gone out to eat with a girl even when it wasn't explicitly a date, I was so excited, but I just feel nothing this time.  And, I fear, that, as much as I want to make excuses of why she isn't the perfect girl, the real reason is that I have such strong feelings for a girl from my church that I know I can't date.

If you are of the sort, please say a prayer for me!

I wound up going out on three dates with that girl from FB Dating and then later went out on six dates with a girl from Christian Mingle before things weren't progressing.

If you had asked me three months ago, I would have said without blinking that I had moved on from that girl from my church, but, since I ended things in early January with the girl I went on 6 dates with, my feelings for that girl from my church have come back with a vengeance.  My friendship with her is in a really good spot, and I don't want to throw it out by asking her out again.  But, at the same time, seven months have passed, I'm a lot less fat than I was then, and I feel like things have been really good the last few times I've seen her (though that could just be in a friends way).  I really don't know what to do.

Get drunk with her and see if she wants to hook up.

Given that neither of us drink at all, that's unlikely (not to mention the issue with hook-ups)

Yes. Clearly, I'm semi-functioning, so it's relatively mild.
