I am not looking for life-changing suggestions. Just suggestions if there may be some sites/services I am not aware of. I tried Rentafriend but their search is horrible and site sort of useless.
I have to wonder if all these threads are indeed a passive-aggressive way of asking exactly that, ddsun. Like if he continues to dismiss everyone’s suggestions, eventually someone here will step forward and say “I’ll take the bullet for the rest of humanity! What’s your phone number?”
did you try reddit?
I do take many technical suggestions – many sources of software were given to me on SDMB.
Please don’t be deliberately obtuse. It’s insulting for everyone.
Duly noted.
Could anyone fill the difference this year?
Yes.
Who?
Well I know a guy…But I can’t introduce just anyone to him, you know? What might you be willing to part with?
Actually, more likely then not, my Internship adviser will pay me something like $2,000 this year from an irregular grant. This along with my allowance is enough.
What does green signify? Red being anger and blue being Internet (I think).
I ask strangers for $1500 only humorously.
That shit was gut-busting, to be sure. :):)
Have you tried a phone sex line? They will be your friend and talk about whatever you want!
So green means humor? You can’t just drop a new color on us without explaining it.
I guess I have to ask, what would you bring to a friendship? You seem to think that someone should just be responsible for calling you up and…chatting to you. But about what topics? What are you even interested in? I have no idea, and I’ve read most of your threads.
Besides, let’s say I bite the bullet and call you. Are you ever going to call me? Or is it a one way thing? We apparently can’t ever hang out or do stuff together, and honestly I know lots of people, myself included, who don’t like the phone.
Like it or not, friendship is a two-way street. Sometimes it tilts one way or the other, to be sure, but one person just giving all the time is a recipe for disaster. And eventually, sooner or later, the friendship will end.
When I had access to people via High School and University I had friends. But I am not interested in many things in which most people are interested – like cars and sports.
I am not crazy – just overweight and without drivers license. My parents are nice but given their age they do not drive too much.
I like cars ok, but I am more interested in them as a work of art or beauty. It took Top Gear to realize I was a bit of a car geek. I just don’t care all that much about what goes on under the hood. I like their lines, and how cool they are, and how fast they can go, and stuff like that.
I am so not into sports it’s kind of funny. Me and my SO were playing Trivial Pursuit the other day and I know maybe a dozen sports facts. It got to the point where everytime he asked me a sports question I started answering Derek Jeter! So:
Where do each of these NFL teams play their home games - list the stadium.
A: Derek Jeter!
We had a good laugh about it. FTR, I know Derek Jeter plays (played?) for the Yankees. In baseball.
I like books. I love book talk, and you can sit in your home and read books! I also love discussing Star Wars until everyone around me is sick of it and I LOVE movie mistakes, provided they are funny ones. That is, I don’t really care that the actors had a can of Coke in their hand one second and not the next, but something like how did the characters in Ocean’s 11 carry all of the sex fliers in there?
I actually hate talking on the phone but I love long, lengthy emails. I will answer every point my friends make.
You see how I did that? I listed some things I am into. So say if **Living Well *** wanted to email me right now, he might have a list of things to talk about with me. He might have some idea of where to begin!
