  1. I am going to run through things that I've bought gf's parents in the past:

    1.) Board games - brings family together, helps cement you as a non-scumbag

    2.) http://www.tasteofcheese.ca/store/product/THE%20MYSTERY%20CHEESE%20BOX-335/ + a nice bottle of wine shows you're not a classless chump (you can do one red and one white. i endorse white Chateauneuf de Pape and Cote Roti for your red if you can find them)

    3.) planning christmas is a huge chore. Offer to cook lunch for the family if you're having dinner with them later. You can leave a material item like a service platter or a set of wine glasses (and as perviously mentioned, a bottle of wine to fill these with will always be appreciated).

    4.) something charitable. i don't know many people who are averse to getting a card from someone saying you've donated $150 to feed a small child in africa for a year (though I'd tend to avoid religious associations where possible, for PC reasons)

  2. thanks guys. i've been talking some pretty stupid shit on here lately so i hope that didn't ring totally hollow.

    @Mass: definitely goes both ways, if a girl can't hold a conversation it's never really going to be there.

    @boybetterknow: sure, but all i've been doing lately is selling myself. the underlying problem: not much to sell right now.

  3. So I'm really bored and want to learn French. Anyone have any experience learning a new language later in life (i.e. past 18)?

    I have a rudimentary knowledge of the language as I was taught a lot of the basics from a young age, but I'd like to get to a level of conversational fluency.

    Any programs to investigate? Any to avoid? Is Rosetta Stone a complete crock of shit?

    I defer to experts here. If you just want to tutor me for free, I'll take that too.

  4. Incredibly enough, my room mate did. In the midst of me kicking the asian chick out she met him and they started chatting and she wound up with him. When I woke up in the morning and realized what had happened I couldn't have been more happy that I kept Li'l Clopek far away from what she was sellin'.

  5. this thread is still soft as fuck. confession: Last weekend I got really drunk at a dance party down the street from my house. I got a few girls' numbers but I was really smashed by the end of the night and nothing came to fruition. As I was walking home I ran into an old fling who decided she wanted to come home with me. Being in the state that I was in, I agreed. When we got home she immediately ran up to my bedroom, while I went to get another drink. In the interim, my room mate showed up with a huge crew of people including several very attractive girls. I hung out downstairs for a while and things were going well with a particular girl, so I felt I needed to extricate myself from the situation I'd created. I went upstairs to find the fling passed out on my bed. I woke her up and told her she had to go because I had to work in the morning. I put her in a taxi that cost her at least $70.

    haven't heard a word from her since.

  6. i've never felt more like a fucking 8 year old boy than when we're talking about our work christmas parties. 2 girls suggested paintball as something to do, which i'm totally up for. and fucking 5 other chicks come out of the woodwork to whine and complain like "OMG WE'LL TOTALLY HAVE LIKE BRUISES ALL OVER US"

    what the fuck bitches, are you for real?

  7. i haven't been sleeping well lately, and i don't wanna drink myself to sleep every night, so i've been self medicating with weed. it's fucking me up though, because between juggling two work schedules and falling asleep high as shit, i've been waking up in weird panics where i literally do not remember what day it is, and which job i'm supposed to be going to when my alarm goes off. today it went off and i almost rolled back over to just fall asleep thinking it was saturday.

    it is not saturday.
