I got my first job recently, which is a schway; but I've also found myself helping out at home and with my neighbours' odd jobs, after 3 long years of sitting on my ass and doing nothing.
I feel like I'm, I dunno, improving as a person? It's a nice feeling, anyway.
Also I suppose it's pretty ironic that after finally being given work to do I start doing more work elsewhere.

FTFY
I hope they don't do the opening ceremony of Tokyo 2020 with Miku or else we won't hear the end of it by Vocaloid fanboys.
I really oughta get back to my account on NationStates... Maybe when I'm feeling a little better.
I happened to witness a rather curious ocurrence during my excursion to the beach today: The gaggle of assholes in front of me found a pair of sunglasses, valued at (as had been ascertained after considerable chatter), over three hundred dollars.
Bear in mind, that said family had already earned my chagrin several times by invading our space, and by not even saying thanks when I helped their youngest daughter out of a great wave. However, this moment would make me realize their true character: Rather than report the expensive sunglasses to the beach patrol, the fatter of them kept it, and floated to his knot of friends about how he'd sell it on eBay.
This really struck a chord with me. I've heard stories about how the most impoverished of people lay out their entire livelihoods before guests, and I myself had been charitable enough to deliver a gaming computer erroneously delivered to my house, despite the fact that my family's bank account hasn't breached $2,000 in the last eight years. And yet here was this upper-middle-class family, with some of the best equipment on the beach and expensive clothes; this family that complained about not going to a resort in Cancun when mine has saved up all year just to secure a budget condominium for a week or two; this family, who had the gall to take a man's possession and sell it on the Internet with nary a second thought.
In a better world, this sort of family would be summarily strung up by their own entrails.

I find that the wealthier, and easier your life is the more materialistic and vain people are. They don't care about another persons possessions. They care about having money, and designer clothes. They care more about their new Jordan's than they do their own offspring. It's quite sickening really.

This kind of stuff is always hard. Or you get your way and make people suffer or you stay away and everyone's happy except of you. Also, do you know how she feels about him and stuff? Like, have they went out and stuff and how are you against him.
Just saying, if you decide to step aside you'll probably won't have a shot in a while, assuming that you don't talk to much girls. It's fine, there are more girls and boys out there.
If you decide to bite the bullet and go courting her, it'll be fine. Your homie will have to understand as you would if he is the one to be with her. Of course, there 'll be pain and you both would get angry at each other for a while for sure. But remember, it's your play now. Also, it won't guarantee 100% SUCCess on it. She could reject both u know or even be playing.
I'm gonna reccomend a song to listen to:

Are you me? Though when I was in this situation, I figured I was too awkward to ask her out anyway, so I just encouraged him to do so instead. They've been together for 3 years now, and though she's still undeniably attractive, I seem to have gotten over her.
Maybe if you are really good friends and both have a decent chance at getting her, you could both decide not to. Then again, I've never had a girlfriend - I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Do not let go that easily, trust me. I do not know how good your realtionship with your bf is, but if it's actually good they won't mind - If your crush chooses you; In turn you should try to cope if they choose your bf. Inaction is death.
My experiences with that exact situation have traumatized me for years now, and I would not want anyone to repeat what I did - nothing. It cost me my friendship with my bf, two decent friendships and my nerve in all things romantic.
One more very serious piece of advice: do NOT think it granted that your friend has the same thoughts about letting his crush go for your sake. (also they might go for your next crush as well)
(FYI, my bf was a good friend of my crush, and was at the time infatuated with another, who did not return his feelings but wanted him as a friend, while she was actually into me, but had held herself back, since she knew I was into her friend, as she told me years later.
My bf then turned his attentions to my crush and eventually raped her when they were out drinking. I didn't know until she told me after she asked me whether I liked her - to which I replied affirmatively. Well, she turned me down and made me promise I wouldn't talk to my then bf about it. Well I haven't to this day, years later - needless to say, I distanced myself from him over time. I still get sick when I see him.
In the end I still was hopelessly in love with my crestfallen crush and continued to pine after her even after being rejected as someone she wasn't into - until our A-levels, shortly past which she confessed to me that she had been going out with our 50-something school janitor, someone I had earlier thought a pedo, having seen him looking up the skirts of 13-yo girls - who had been there for here at the right moment.
Well, to summarise - I didn't do anything. I watched as two girls I truly liked got hurt and hurt while I couldn't do a thing for them, I trusted my then best friend not to act like a vile bastard and paid for it - over this I developed a hidden fear of close friendship and romance, and a habit of lying to hide certain parts of myself)

Well i kinda figured it out as i have more chance of getting her i guess and she also told me her feelings for me were too complicated but she already knew she didn't love my best friend so i think she loves me i guess but as i know now i'm going to give her the time and space she needs to make sure she knows what kind of feelings she has for me and i already talked to my best friend about it and he told me he knew and that he was sorry he fell in love with the same girl i did.

That'll probably be me in a few years. I could get it done if I really wanted to but it's simply not a priority for me.

Dude... What?
Don't you have, like, stuff to do? Y'know, family to help, errands to run, maybe even a job to get to? I get it, you might not have your own car, but I'm genuinely perplexed as to how people get by without a license.
