If this is MB's idea of "entertainment" then the guy's less creative than a blind chimp with a set of crayons.
I think my girlfriend is a Christian! Advice needed.
- Thread starter MadBaggins
- Start date
Nobody, and I don't say this lightly, can come up with this much bullshit. Some of it, at least, has to be true.
I know a few people who i would classify as pathological liars, but even they have a limit for what they can come up with. Human imagination can only go so far.
Lulz. Irony.
Never underestimate the human capacity for bullshitting.
No one can come up with that amount of bullshit? As in stories that interact with an audience but are not true? Some examples:
RPG, the stories go on forever
"I have cancer, give me money" internet fakes
Actual NOVELS which don't even need interaction to keep going and which are not true.
It's really not a stretch.

Well, par'ner dere aint no hope for humanity as I see it. Weze just all tumbleweeds blowin' in the wind and goin' where the Good Lord takes us.
MadBaggins does give me hope for the future of his own stories, if not humanity. If they've gotten this good already then the final chapter might very well involve the girl's father chasing MB with a loaded shotgun whilst riding the back of a T. Rex. A cameo by M. Night Shyamalan can't be totally written off, either. Talk about a twist!
Or that the father is really a ninja T. Rex. I'd buy a ticket to see that shit.
Not knowing the full, intricate details of the entire thing i don't get how talking openly about feelings is stalkerish or self-centered. It's about the only way to get results, positive or negative.
If she says no in a more or less polite way he knows the game is up and can look elsewhere but who knows.. maybe she says yes and they can find a way to make it work. You will never know unless you try.
I haven't quite tried to talk her out of going yet, but I'm certainly started laying the groundwork. Rather than talk about it right away, I decided to take the slow-burning/playing-it-cooool approach that has worked so well for me lately. We've hung out several times since she told me and have gotten even closer, in some ways. In other ways we aren't quite as close as I'd like, but I'm sure we'll get there. We talk a lot. It's great having someone I can open up with.
I now know the date she's supposedly going to leave on: May 4th. As soon as she said it, I felt a strange feeling surge through my body. That date was familiar to me. But why? I whacked my brain trying to think of why. Then it hit me. It is the date The Avengers is released! I have been waiting for this movie my whole life. It suddenly hit her that I could use the passion I feel for it to start along the path of talking her out of going.
"Oh, that's when The Avengers comes out," I said, casually. "I really wanted to see that with you." What I was saying was genuine, so it showed with genuine sadness on my face.
But she just laughed, thinking I was joking!!
"No, really, I mean it!" I said. I felt a bit angry, so maybe that anger showed on my face.
But she just laughed again and I said I was funny!!!
"I really did mean it," I said, annoyed. She didn't laugh this time. I hope she thinks about it and maybe it starts to put doubts into her mind. Not just because of this movie (though it is going to be awesome) but all the movies we could see together but will miss. And indeed all the events in our lives we could share together but will miss. I know she's supposed to only be going for three to six months (why don't they have a solid length yet? I hope the church knows what they're doing!!) but what if she falls in love with helping people and stays longer? Or what if she dies (it's a dangerous place she's going to, I assume)? Either of those things would seriously damage our longterm future.
So hopefully at the back of her mind there are doubts building and growing and ticking away and soon (before May 4th) they will overwhelm her.
I saw my friend Thames yesterday and briefly considered using him as part of my plan to stop her from leaving. I could have got him to say he has relatives in Africa who knew an aids worked who was murdered before their eyes or something. Something scary anyway. It was just a passing thought really. Unfortunately he had his twins with him. This was a surprise as I knew yesterday wasn't one of the few days of the months he was supposed to have them. It turned out he had gone and picked them up from his ex's sister even though he wasn't supposed to. He told me his ex would probably call the cops on him but he didn't care. He's so consumed by this that he never really listens to my problems or helps me much anymore. I wish they'd just give his ex full custody once and for all (it's going to happen eventually, especially after this!) so he can move on.

You should share this story with your girlfriend. It will make you look very sympathetic and will fix your little Avengers problem.
Okay. Now I have my first doubts about her judgment.
