Wanted to elaborate good conversation. Nothing like having a few drinks and chillin' with either smart people or "artistic" people and talking either politics, history, fine arts, music, pop culture, differences and similarities between men & women, etc. That's good stuff.

Funny thing (I'm not making this up either) is I remember good, intimate conversations much more fondly than sexual experiences.

I love talking to people who open up their soul when they talk. I've had good conversations that go until almost sunrise. One I remember fondly is a girl I had a crush on for years (I was seeing other people and we never overlapped when we liked each other as when she finally started liking me, I was already with the future Mrs. Z). We talked until her father almost woke up to go to work and I had to jump out the window before he woke up.

Not just limited to women. The majority of my emotionally intimate friends are men. It's easier that way because it gets weird when you've been emotionally intimate with a woman you later sleep with and it doesn't work out.

I have a really weird pet peeve that bothers me to no end, yet I find it to be illogical, stupid, and even kind of mean. Bear with me:

It started when I was a kid. I had a brother that was older by three years and autistic. He spent a lot of time growing up playing video games and since we only had one system I spent a lot of time watching. Once I was able to play more I started getting upset when my brother beat games--games that I specifically bought for myself--before I had a chance to. I remember buying Halo and playing through the single player with my dad. I had more of a social life than my brother (he was autistic) so he ended up beating the game before me. I don't know why it bothers me but it really pisses me off.

Enter my roommate. We both go to school. I work and he doesn't. So I spent about 50 bucks last week on Fable III and played it over the weekend. Today he "borrows" it (grabs it out of my xbox 360 when I'm asleep) and proceeds to get much farther than I am while I'm working. Now, it seems stupid of me to get upset but the fact that I paid for something he didn't and he's much farther in it than me...it just plain bothers me.

It feels like a bought a model plane and, because I'm busy, it's taking me time to get it done. Next thing I know my roommate finishes the model for me.

Or it feels like I bought a book and as I'm nearing the plot-twisting end I find out my roommate borrowed it yesterday and finished the whole thing. For some reason it takes the fun out of it for me. As if getting there first makes it more exciting. And no, I'm not one of those people that posts "first" on internet comment sections lol.

It also upsets me when I buy a movie and my roommates watch it without me before I watch it.

Does anyone else get this? I don't want it to upset me but I just kind of seethe inside lol.

This is awful, but one of my pet peeves is when I really like something, like a band perhaps, and it is not very well known. Kind of like AFI back in the day. And then they go "main stream," not because they changed their style at all, but because everybody now loves them. They were mine first lol.

Also, I HATE when people literally SAY "FYI" or "asap."
