My portable harddrive

Post by **aels** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 4:51 pm

My daddy, assuming he was in need of saving. Now my cats are gone, everything else in my home qualifies as 'just stuff' but there are sentimental 'just stuffs' I'd be loathe to lose. I'd want to take any of the following:

- my childhood toy that my aunty knitted for me when I was 3
- the self-insert book my parents had made for me when I was little all about how I saved Mother Goose Land
- family photos
- the DVD of home videos that contain my only real knowledge of my grandma (she died when I was 2 and I don't remember her)
- my external hard drive (got some important old emails/messages on that)

We all know it's full of favourite porn videos and guides on how to build bombs

Also, as my designated only lady friend ever...

...another female was foolish enough to give me her phone number. How do I speak, what do I text, what is love? baby don't hurt me...

um, excuse you, they are EROTICA videos

Did you.... did you just ask me for relationship advice? ME? I am a terrible relationship person! How do you know this lady? Are you acquaintances, can you be all casual? Or did she see you walking down the street and was all 'Now that is a prime hunk of man-meat, let me staunch my flow of ladyjuices long enough to tuck my number into his underwear' and you're basically starting from scratch? Give me data, I cannot make bricks without clay.

Yeah, I didn't think this one through. At. All

We got matched on eHarmony. She messaged me first, so we at least know she's blind and cannot read English properly. Sent a few messages back and forth, and now we have one another's numbers. Shit just got real, yo!

If it helps, I'm generally pretty good at fixing other people's lives, it's just that my own is a tragic misery of a sham. I'm like Grandmother Willow, in a dressing gown.

Well, the boring but safe is a casual 'How are you?' text but that is some basic bitch shit and you are not a basic bitch, no my friend. You want to be all interesting and memorable and shit. Are you just looking to start a convo or are you trying to move it into 'Let's go for a drink and maybe touch butts' territory'?

I'm really good at starting relationships, I only had to know Brandon for like five years before we moved things on to the next level*

*(I love you Brandon, I am so sorry I am basically the worst at being alive)

I am superawesome at fixing other people's lives, generally because I don't care about the potential consequences as much

You're like Obi-wan Kenobi...once he was dead...

The problem I face, aside from overthinking every goddamn thing to the point of never actually doing anything, is that we've already started a long conversation in message form on the site. So if I text her, it's only to go "hey, it's me...hope this is actually your real number

" She currently lives in Cardiff, so not really much chance of meeting up any time soon (though she is local when not at university)

Hey, I had to know you for about 7 years before using the 'F' word...and now I feel all dirty and forever unclean!

Post by **aels** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:18 pm

I'd say if you're chatting a lot on the site, and she's not going to be in your area for a long time, there's no particular need to move things to text unless you really want to. You can be like 'Hey, just checking I saved your number right, p.s. what colour knickers do you have on' (DO NOT DO THIS LAST PART). And then if she's all 'Hey, I gave you my number, why haven't you texted me', you can be all 'I was giving you the power to set the boundaries because I respect your autonomy so much, did I mention I am a rilly awesome feminist' and then you get all the sweet vagina.

I think I am very bad at this advice thing.

I remembered not to ask for her number. Also, when she volunteered her number, I gave her mine first...she didn't use it

Also, it has occasionally taken her 5 days, FIVE. DAYS! to reply to my site messages, and I have not chased or been creepy. I am growing as an individual...very, very slowly. Feminism - it ain't that hard, yo! Except when it is, then I just plain suck. You're better at advice than simply having this conversation with a wardrobe, which I would have done otherwise...and my wardrobe's a dick.

You weren't asking me but Cardiff is a really nice city. My sister lives there so I've visited about a dozen times. I've seen pretty much none of the sights though because we sit around her house playing board games.

You are good human and when we install the militant femtopia, I will make sure you are shot last. I'd say 'Not shot at all' but people can get carried away, I can't make those kinds of promises.

Maybe I am a wardrobe. Like, have you ever seen me and a wardrobe in the same room?

Too bad. I was going to suggest you get a group together to do something there, and you could casually say you would be in her area and invite her to have a drink/coffee/whatever (not as part of your group obviously).

Blade Azaezel · Post by **Blade Azaezel** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:29 pm

I can live with being shot, just so long as I, y'know, survive it without lasting damage.

I have not. *clicks through facebook photos* OH MY GOD, YOU'RE MY WARDROBE!!

Cardiff Museum is fucking rad. Azzy, let's go to Cardiff Museum. You can meet up with your lady and I can buy another holographic dinosaur ruler.

This sounds planworthy. Also, you can chaperone the whole thing and kick me in the shin when i'm not being a proper human. Also, I want a holographic dinosaur ruler, I need to relive my childhood and I never had one.

I almost bought myself a large chocolate cake the other day, because I am an adult and I can buy cake whenever I want!! Except I didn't...

Post by **aels** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:40 pm

They have a really kind of terrible taxidermied snow leopard with a lazy eye if I haven't sold this museum to you enough yet. And a terrifying animatronic mammoth.

I feel like I am someone who should have my adulthood taken away because I cannot be trusted with it. Like, yeah, I will eat a whole packet of cocktail sausages for lunch and then immediately regret it, yeah!

Blade Azaezel · Post by **Blade Azaezel** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:43 pm

Since adulthood, I've basically had to learn from my own mistakes. this is not fun, or productive! I will eat entire boxes of brownie squares, or packs of chocolate hobnobs, then cry myself to sleep over how much weight I've gained.

Is it that you don't learn...or...that you learn, but do it anyway? Because, for me, it is definitely the latter.

Post by **aels** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 5:49 pm

Alright, it's the latter, really. I was trying to pretend like I can't help myself. I CAN. I CHOOSE NOT TO.

Blade Azaezel · Post by **Blade Azaezel** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 6:20 pm

Helping oneself is for peasants. I let my servants help me! or, I would, if I had servants.

Gypsy-Vanner · Post by **Gypsy-Vanner** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 7:23 pm

People, this is a thread about what you could save if you had the chance...you can't save something that doesn't exist.

Lol kidding...or am I?

I actually feel kind of bad for that joke. Not bad enough to apologize but a slight quiver in the very depths of my extremely depthy vagina.

Blade Azaezel · Post by **Blade Azaezel** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 7:35 pm

The joke doesn't work anyway, because the only thing I chose was a hard drive, which does exist. I'm also fairly certain (but not 100%) that aels has a dad

Gypsy-Vanner · Post by **Gypsy-Vanner** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 8:09 pm

Whitey · Post by **Whitey** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 8:19 pm

Family and dog would have to be the priority.

I'm not really sentimental about most of the things in my house so provided my family and dog were out I'm simply prioritising things that are useful to me. So car keys, phone, charger, external hardrive, PC, then maybe the monitor if I have time. TV if I'm lucky.

Gypsy-Vanner · Post by **Gypsy-Vanner** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 9:03 pm

That's how I am too Whitey. I sat here for a long while trying to think of things other than my kid and cats and I just didn't care about any of the rest of it.

I just said the car because i'd need it to go to the bank to get new cards and stuff.

Post by **thesalmonofdoubt** » Sat Jul 18, 2015 4:23 am

Guess the obvious "Kids" "dogs" Other living things (Lets go with Snake followed by cats) first - everything else contingent on how much hassle it would be for me to replace.
Laptop (on account of photos being stored on it) - the wallet (cos replacing credit cards/licence etc is a complete pain in the arse) .. then maybe (depending on just how furiously my house is burning down) .. stuff that has sentimental value, altho I'm at a loss to think of anything that falls into this category given my furniture is pretty much just furniture, I have some photo albums but most of the memorabilia stuff is at my folks house .. So .,. probably nothing else.
Everything is insured and so everything is essentially replaceable with newer better stuff.

I can't think of any "things" I particularly care about. The wife on the other hand has loads of "precious objects" with "special memories"...

I don't.
