India, round 2

[metroid23]

Left work around 3pm to head to the airport. Picked up my dry cleaning on the way which concluded my packing. Have to say it sucks departing by yourself. A co-worker dropped me off at the airport and that was that. In a way easier, I guess. But just that feeling of, well, here I go. The feeling of being missed or being longed for is one that is

re: selfless

I don't think getting upset over they're response (or lack thereof) means it wasn't selfless. You're not upset because you didn't get anything out of it, you're upset because, well, what kind of entitled asshole receives help and doesn't say thanks or at least convey appreciation? As a side note though, I really don't think anyone's ever acted in true selflessness.

That is a hard one for me- I need to think about it :)

There are things that I know that I have an advantage towards and I will, completely autonomously, do as just a core reaction. If it's totally obvious that for instance someone is struggling with something high up, I will help out and not give it a second thought. I don't know if that's selfless or just being kind. But I know that I have an advantage that they do not and I almost feel a duty to assist.

Anyway, I guess like most (all?) humans, I like to be appreciated.

Microwave safe bowel?! What are you doing to yourself over there?

[metroid23]

You tell me if on day three of explosive diarrhea you don't want to try sticking your ass in a microwave!

[seiryuu26]

They've got microwaves in India now?

[seiryuu26]

actually, that's entirely clear at this point and was a poor attempt at a witticism.

I bet the microwave's in the bathroom, though.

Sorry to disagree, dude, but I personally hate the entire concept of ass-washing units. BOWELTOWEL 4 EVAR!!!!1!!11

Someone has obviously hacked your account because the majestic wonder of the Japanese bidet is a miracle of modern technology. FFS, man. They have heated jets and oscillating streams!

[quadhome]

Yeah, but what about when you gotta scrub?

[metroid23]

Toilet paper :) (or those baby wipes. love it.)

[dr4b]

They have DDR in India? I hope you made sure to keep everything in your pockets :)

[metroid23]

Apparently yes. I haven't seen it but they said a DDR 4th+ (of all things) was nearby.

The nearest one to me (far as I can tell) is a Pump: NX2. At least it has songs by Kyle Ward on there! ;)

Cheese first: though I didn't get to see you off, nor do we see each other as much as I'd like, please know that you are certainly missed (there's just something about knowing someone is across the world even if you don't see them often that makes you miss them even more). There is definitely a hug and an "I'll miss you!" from me in spirit. <3 :)

It warms my heart to hear of people being welcoming to you. Though I know you hate it there, I'm glad to see you have some cheer and are loved there as well.

One of my friends once mentioned this: there is no such thing as a female bidet... just a built in sex toy. XD

[metroid23]

I know, I know. It's emo. But it kinda hit me all at once as this send off was just completely different than the last one and it left me feeling melancholy. I hate to keep saying it, but if I don't write it down then I won't recall what it's like and what I need to do to make improvements in my life. Improvements that will ultimately make me happier. But I understand what you mean.

As for the bidet, oh trust me, I get it. I remember the ones in Tokyo having a female "option" as well and I'm sure that just saves women the trouble of making an excuse to take a bath. ;) Yes, of course you need a warm, oscillating, spinning, pulsating front sprayer. Uh huh.
