Today, this is what I am according to similarminds.com:
Extroverted (E) 53.13% Introverted (I) 46.88%
Intuitive (N) 54.29% Sensing (S) 45.71%
Feeling (F) 52.94% Thinking (T) 47.06%
Judging (J) 56.25% Perceiving (P) 43.75%
Your type is: ENFJ
ENFJ - "Persuader". Outstanding leader of groups. Can be aggressive at helping others to be the best that they can be. 2.5% of total population.
But for me, the results seem to change each time I take a test like this, so I will try again later, and see how it differs.

Since this thread still seems to be drawing the attention of people, I figured it was time for me to update my situation. At least as much as I can. After I posted the question, my friend read it, told me the advice was good and that I should listen to it. My friendship with her got a lot closer than before, maybe partly due to the thread, and just partly due to issues in her life where she needed my support. It got to the point where she said she was coming to see me. And then it ended. She disappeared and I haven't heard from her in over 4 months. No explanation, just gone.
I made the choice that her friendship mattered most to me. And now with her gone, I question everything I did. If I was going to lose her anyway, should I have taken my best shot? In the end, I don't really know what I did to lose her, if I did anything at all, so I don't know whether I would change what I did. I know that I would still tell her how I felt. It helped our communication. Knowing that I was in love with her made her trust me more. She knew I didn't hide anything from her. After my admission, she was more open with me than ever. She asked me for advice with her relationships, and life in general. She was aware that some times she had to take in to mind that my advice was biased, but it worked for us. She knew I always put her needs first, and my desires second.
It's tough to lose someone so important to you. I know that I would do anything to have her friendship back. I guess that's the answer. Despite the fact I still think she was perfect for me, her friendship is what I valued most.

I agree. Promotion and relegation would help teams develop markets. It's sort of happening in Montreal and Vancouver. They started off with USL teams, built up the fan base, and are now planning to enter the MLS. The MLS should make that the common progression, so that cities can slowly develop a soccer following.It's hard to do with an amatuer, or minor league team. But if you know the team could eventually be in the top league, would entice the fans more.
Toronto went after a player, Julian De Guzman, who isn't quite on the level of Henry, and Beckham, but he was playing in La Liga before they signed him, and he's only 27, so I think the league is making progress. But there's still lots of room for improvement.

Jebru! You stole my idea! I have thought about this for a long time, and Vegas was my ideal location! Eyes on your own paper next time! LOL
Great minds think alike, I guess. lol. I can't remember who I started talking about it with, but I know I spent a few hours discussing it with a former Vegas resident Lushie over a year ago.
Active Ink Slinger
This is not an official Lush idea, just my curiosity about how many people would be open to the idea of a lush convention. In my mind, it would probably an annual event where you could get together with the people of lush in real life for the weekend. The location mentioned when I've discussed this with friends is Vegas, but if someone else has a better idea, feel free to share it. I'd also like to hear ideas of what to do for that weekend, if you have them. (Writing workshops, booze, sex toy exhibits, etc) Any and all thoughts on the subject are welcome.

Actually I think Lush needs to have some kind of convention somewhere were all the members can meet. Well, all the members that want to meet anyway. LOL
I have talked about this from time to time with different people from here. To me, being North American based, Vegas would be the place to hold it, but I'm not sure if you would get many people from outside of North America. Whether people want to give up their anonymity could be a huge issue for this.

not a piss off as much as ... an "oh dear" - the incorrect spelling of masturbated - that I see all the time on here (it is spelled with a U)
masterbated - no dictionary results
I find this one particularly amusing when it happens in masturbation stories. The writer has to click on the button beside the properly spelled version of the word to put their story in that category, and yet, still can't get it right.

I think in non-violent crime sprees like this, it's easier for the public to be fascinated with, and maybe a little envious of the Barefoot Bandit. For those of us living boring, normal, lives, we can only dream of having an adventure like that. But when the spree is a violent one, then far less people see him as a hero, and instead see him as a menace to society who needs to be stopped.
It's been mentioned in other threads that the government (US, although others often feel the same way too) doesn't seem to care about the average person. So when we see an "average" person refusing to play by the rules, and actually being able to flaunt the rules, and taunt the big bad government, it gives us a little hope, makes us think that maybe we can make the government hear us too.
Or it could just be that it appeals to the child in us. I'm sure all of us have played pirates, robin hood, or even cops and robbers as a kid. This guy is doing it for real, and doing it well.
And considering Robin Hood is an English character, and I'm a Canadian who occasionally roots for the outlaws, I think I can safely say that it's not just an American thing.

I heard this on the radio this morning:
"Get ready for the Miami Heat to become the new Yankees. Get ready for all the 'You just bought yourself a championship' crying. Get ready to become the most hated team in the league..."
I'm sure there will be a lot of people who think like that, despite the fact the salary cap limits any teams ability to "buy" the championship. I'm still not sure this works. I think Lebron would have been better off going to Chicago, with that team around him, and the Heat would have been better off signing a good point guard, and some decent supporting players.

But if LeBron can give up the last shot to D-Wade, who absolutely is more dangerous in crunch time, then Miami's going to cream the rest of the Southeast Division.
I agree with you on that. But what does that do to Lebron's reputation? He seems to want to be known as the greatest. Can he still be that if he doesn't take the last shot? Will that thought be enough to keep him out of Miami?
Active Ink Slinger
As much as I dislike Kobe, I think he's still the better player. Lebron may be the better athlete, but Kobe can actually shoot. The announcement of where Lebron is going is only going to take a minute, if that. What are they going to do for the other 47 minutes of non-commercial time?
Active Ink Slinger
I think that the Heat will be better off if they don't sign Lebron. I just don't see it working well. There's only one ball. Who gets it in the 4th quarter? Right now, Wade gets it, and has the option to dish to Bosh, which works for both players.
I think the Heat would be far better to add supporting players, rather than another superstar. Look at what happened with Boston. The three superstars won one championship, but Ray Allen just isn't the same as he used to be. He doesn't get to be the man with the ball in his hands, and his game, and confidence suffer because of that. The same thing will happen to one of Wade and Lebron if they are on the same team for an extended period of time.
I think Bosh and Wade with a good supporting cast could win a few championships. That combination works. Bosh is an excellent number two option, and a very good defender. As a Raptors fan, it is sad to see him go, but at the same time, I don't think the Raptors will be that much worse next year. Having a power forward as your number one scoring option just doesn't seem to work in the NBA. Especially without a good shooting supporting cast. If the Raptors can find a way to get rid of Hedo Turkoglu, and build their offence around a team concept rather than just giving it to Bosh and standing around, I think they will be fine. I expect Bargnani to get more looks, and he'll probably average 20 points this year.

As for predictions, I'm going with Paraguay, and Spain. And my predictions for the entire show is Brazil vs the winner of the Argentina vs Germany game, with Brazil winning. I've backed Brazil from the start, no need to stop now.
And this is why I don't bet on sports. lol

Being a cancer survivor, I'd probably go with the Canadian Cancer Society, or possibly the Terry Fox Foundation. I did an unsuccessful fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society on the 20th anniversary of when I found out I had cancer. I think I raised $500 for the charity, but I spent $550 putting on the concert. So I should have just wrote a cheque for $550 and never done the concert. The charity would have been $50 better off. Not counting the coverage in the local paper, etc, that they got from it too.

The first thing guys should do, is learn basic body language...
If I am sitting at a bar, and you come over to chat me up and I face you and my body is pointed towards you, I am interested. If I turn my head and/or body away from you... I am NOT interested.
Of course this could be hard to read if the girl is also shy... If she glances often and quickly at your face rather than your eyes, then that will mean she is shy but interested. Then I would suggest, proceed with caution.
Quote by Jebru
Just a quick question on this from a guy who knows he tries to hard sometimes, and other times, gets the girl he doesn't want with no effort at all. How is a guy supposed to know the difference between legitimate disinterest, and playing hard to get?
If a girl turns slightly away from you, but her shoulders and backbone are straight, and she may be twirling her hair and running her fingers around the top of her glass ... I would say she may/is playing hard to get. As long as her arms are not crossed... crossed arms is another way of saying f**k off.
But if she turns away and her shoulders are slumped over and she is turned into the opposite direction as much as possible... I would say she is wishing for you to go and leave her alone and is hoping the ground will open up and swallow her.
Wow! That sounds complicated. I think I'll just go with Dancing Doll's suggestion, and stick to the girls who actually appear interested. The ones who play the games will just lose out.
And sorry Nicola, I think I hijacked your thread.
