The U.S. Debt Clock is a fun way to look at the debt and the size with respect to some other monetary amounts. As I type this, the U.S. federal debt is about $16.01 trillion, and $5.37 trillion of that is held by foreign governments. If you count up what everyone has on all of their credit cards, it's only $896 billion.
I was watching the 2004 version of ‘Salem’s Lot on YouTube a few hours ago. I noticed that in part 2/13, there is a scene in a karaoke bar where a man is singing Stand By Me. This made me laugh.
And there’s a dog in the movie named Cujo.
Goddamnit! Stupid me keeps getting attracted to people.
This gal I was talking to today (too many gorgeous women around working at my Tesco! Xp), was a fellow gamer (though nowhere near my level but more than enough to have an actual conversation! ).
And she had this kind of 'girl next door' kind of look to her.
Dark short hair, wild eyes but a warm smile and a cute laugh.
Smallish frame but well suited all over.
Far too pretty for a shmuk like me. But she was still so compelling. My guard definitely dropped for her. I goofed off just like I do with my best friend. Trying a little extra to make her laugh because she had a long shift and I really wanted her to like me at least.
Edit: I'll admit. This CBT stuff is working out quite well for me. I need to keep at it though. Loads of hurdles left to jump over.
At least I'm fortunate enough to be able to put attraction and desire aside for friendship. I think people who act all Nice Guy TM make me sick.
I'm definitely not expecting anything at all from this girl. I just want a friend. I'm not going to languish if I never ever saw her again. After all there loads of people out there who could be excellent friends with me. I just haven't met them or noticed them yet.
You should ask her out. If she says no, shrug it off and remain friends. Doesnt hurt to ask though.
TTG Forum Headcanon: ryannumber1gamer's father was a lonely man who longed for a son to call his own. He was getting on in years and the likelyhood of him finding a mate was sadly diminished. One night at his spam job, he created a bot named ryannumber1gamer to spam information about cheap persian rugs imported from china. As he looked out his window, he found the first star of the night, so bright and beautiful, and wished that ryannumber1gamer was a real boy.
The blue fairy heard his wish and in the dead of night granted it. He has been a vibant part of our community ever since. The end.

I should do but I know exactly what will happen.
I'll spend most of the day thinking up the words, several hours after that working up the courage to say it, and then when it comes to that moment, it will stay attatched to the tip of my tongue.
I'm just not going to worry about it. It will likely be ages before I bump into her again, and knowing my luck, work will stop me from talking to anyone.
(Early mornings are basically the only time the store isn't busy barring small pockets of times later on. I'll be too busy serving to talk to anyone. -_-
(unless they end up on the till next to me. Then a few quips here and there are manageable, but you don't get to chose where you work either ))
Besides, I have bigger things to worry about. (Like trying to get a placement which unless Disney suddenly phone up and say "hey. Sorry for the several weeks of no contact. BTW. You have the job!" seems unlikely (I talked to the guy who handles it at work about it and his face looked exaclty like a Deer in the headlights over it. I'll talk to the uni department about it tomorrow (he needs more information), but he probably won't be able to get me anything, especially at this short notice))
I once asked a girl out from the soup kitchen I used to work out. Girl was a total tramp. As soon as she got over to my house, after about three minutes, she tried to have sex with me. I kicked her drunk ass out, and I haven’t spoken to her since.
You don't have to trust him to be a good man. You only have to trust him to have the power and motivation to crush our enemies, and hope that he has no similar inclination toward us.

This. Doesn't hurt to ask. The Dude asked me out after we'd known each other for 6 weeks, and I rejected him in favour of being friends. A month or so later I realised I REALLY liked having him in my life... then a month after that he went away to Australia and I missed him like crazy. As soon as he got back I made it abundantly clear that I'd changed my mind on the "just friends" front.
I know the feeling man... just got back from Vegas trip with The Dude for a friend's birthday. We were upgraded to this crazy awesome suite worth well over twice what we'd paid for. Lounge area, great sound system, 2 giant bathrooms, marvellous view (in fact the room was so good that we spent a little too much time in there alone!). To top it off, our friend knows someone who works at the hotel, and he provided a bunch of free food and alcohol.
But the best thing was just getting to be together. This long-distance thing is significantly less than ideal... bed is going to feel very empty tonight.
My life would be shit or over if I hadn't taken the chance on my current fiance. I was literally as miserable and cynical as they come. Now I'm just cynical.

Not really. It would be more accurate to say that China and the US are mutually indebted to each other.
Oh sorry, that was just the trade deficit. If they paid back everything, it would be well, well in the green.
Wolverines!
Symbolism!!!
By far, the majority of the US' debt is held to its own self over any other nation.

So.... The Undertaker is the wrestling equivalent to Chuck Norris?
Fun fact Chuck Noris refed one of Undertakers matches.
But he's on OUR side!
Dashing, I can't hear your false prophet words over the sound of me hanging this shit on my wall.
And why is Jonro looking at Tintin’s nutsack?
Hmmmmm do you read classic material?
You’re a dead man.
Aw, don't think like that! Let the girl decide... you may just be surprised.

Because no one ever told him that looking directly at the sun can damage your retinas.
Oh, hey, you used his French name.
The question is why did someone take the time to draw it like that.
I see what you did there.
I didn't know you'd proposed! Conjugulations!
