Random Thoughts 3

I think this one is from Fallout New Vegas, so it is an older one. If I remember right, her name was Martha and you could get her to "follow" you and help you with enemies. But she is part of the Super Mutants, who usually fall in the enemy category but each game has a nice one. So far in the new one, the nice one is a travelling vendor who is hard to find.

Okay, apparently we watch people who don't need no stinkin' Martha to help them.

It's been a while since we've watched any Fallout. My kid tried to start me on some Wolfenstein and I thought I was going to have to open a vein.

Alerting to my lack of interest, he now has us watching some Scary Game Squad playthrough. I forget what it is. sigh. I love my boy. It's how I stay connected to him so I go for the ride.

I have not played in a while. I go in spurts. I am probably never going to finish it, I don't want to team up with other people and there is so much you cannot do alone in this one.

It always cracks me up when everyone is running around and they stop and wave at each other. bwhahahaha!

I do that! But that is my only form of communication in-game. Do not have a mic... wouldn't use it if I did. Cannot handle talking to strangers! Not even video game avatars! I have had people try to talk to me but I have no way to answer them. So a wave it is...or the big thumbs up.

There are real skills with gaming. You have to think fast, quick reflexes, be a strategic player. I am so incompetent in gaming, I'm the idiot who gets stuck in the corner. After the laughs die down, I'm put down like someone who needs to be put down.

I am not great, but it is fun. I get put down in the corner a lot. That is why I prefer the solo play! Don't need anyone laughing at me or worse, getting mad because I died. Hahaha! Last time I played I was getting my butt kicked by mosquito looking things. Some high level person who was walking by killed them for me. I'm sure laughing the whole time too.

My character looks like a cool 50s housewife. Bobbed hair, pedal pushers, big white sunglasses. She makes me laugh! That is one thing I like is you can dress your character in different clothes and your armor does not show. You could always change clothes but the armor was always on top. Not this game, so you see some fun stuff. I have a witch hat and am searching for the outfit that goes with it. It is rare but I will find it! Then I'll dress as a witch for a while.

Oh. And I love the music. The loop seems to be just about right. Not too obnoxious hearing the same songs over and over. I sing. My kid begs me not to. I can't help it. I know the words. I'm going to sing.

 

[cat in a bag]

this is not me but pretty similar. I am wearing sunglasses and a hat too.

Pretty smart, stylish yet functional. THat's a great fitbit on her arm.

whenever I was like 9 and really into Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare I didn't know how to actually turn the chat off so I just muted the tv, the built in xbox 360 mics were horrible and picked up all the background audio, meaning you could hear everything from parents screaming in the background to babies crying, much less the actual players shouting slurs at each other.

I've learned so much from you guys. A lot of interesting people with big personalities sharing quirky, fun, fascinating things to keep my mind engaged and thinking about.

Thank you.

Not judging here. Just an observation and maybe some input from you guys?????

Here recently at the DMV while waiting, there was a young couple sitting on the benches across from me. The girl was all over this guy. Not just casual affection. I'm NOT talking about casual affection. This was like ALL OVER HIM. Kissing his arm, kissing his shoulder, kissing his face, stroking his face, touching his leg, rubbing his back, holding his hand. Now, he seemed to be enjoying the attention. And she was a very attractive girl giving him that.

I'm all for happy couples who genuinely love each other, but this, to me, went beyond that. It was to the point of creepy. And really seriously one of those GET A ROOM situations that people joke about. I just wanted to smack her and tell her, leave him the f**k alone!!!! He's not a dog.

Men -- do you do this with your partner? do you like this kind of public attention?

Women-- same question.

Me? I'd be like, Quit pawing me you needy bastard!

But, I'm not a needy girl. I don't have to be up someone's behind 24/7. I like my alone time. Leave me alone. Go find a friggin' hobby and do it. I've got Columbo's to watch, quilts to make, books to read, carbs and sugars to attend to.

I'm a fun girl!!!!

Another question:

When you go out to eat, do you sit across from your partner or next to them? I watched a couple crowd into a booth on the same side yesterday. No room whatsoever for both of them. No guests showed up to sit across from them. They were elbowing each other the whole time they ate. It was ridiculous. Why they couldn't have allowed themselves a minute of not being next to each other so they could eat a meal without ninja moves. I'm sorry, I just don't get it.

I'm not going to get lost or leave you if I sit across from you to have a great meal. WHere I can actually look you straight in the face and have a conversation.

Thoughts?

It's okay. Whatever side you fall on is fabulous. THis is a safe space.

I don't like THAT much attention in public but I am all for holding hands, putting my arm around my wife, etc. It's usually a moot point because we have a toddler so....lol. As far as restaurants, I find that annoying also sitting in a booth on the same side. How the hell do you eat and not cross elbows or end up eating someone's fork? Both of us are more comfortable sitting across from one another so we can converse between instances of the toddler talking to people at other tables or telling the general public at max volume that he has to go poop. You know, that old chestnut....

At home, if the rare occasion occurs where we're watching TV sans toddler, usually it's my wife leaning on me with my arm around her on the sectional couch.

Puppy love is sickening. Real love means not wanting to kill your partner 24/7.

We don’t go out much together with hectic lives and all.... and we both would rather spend time together at home. Also, we sit across from each other when we go out to eat. I don't know how it happened but at home and at the table we sit aside of each other. She's left handed (left handed people are weird) and I'm right handed... and we sit where we're always bumping elbows while we eat. Never thought to change it up for some reason.

Neither BF nor myself are fond of PDA. If you saw us out together, you might not even know we're a couple because I usually have to walk a couple of steps behind him.....his legs are longer, so it's hard for me to keep up. Also, I'm a nut magnet, so if we're hiking or at a waterfall or something, and a stranger starts talking to me and gets too close, BF is likely standing behind us with his hand in his pocket, opening his knife.....just in case.

We usually sit across from each other if we're eating out. We both like our personal space and elbow room.

I am just going to update briefly on me. I first want to apologize for not being on here. Second my reconstruction surgery is going to be September 4th. It had to be moved from the original date due to insurance.

Best of luck with your reconstruction - I am sure you'll feel so much better after it is all done. Thanks for sharing all this with us. (I'm going for a mammogram on Friday and to be honest I am a bit nervous!)

I'm right there with you.

Sitting at another table of course so we all have our personal space.
