Can I just say that I get hyper reactive to the word ‘Toriaezu’
but basically, I think that’s the best way to go

Gunota is what you call a Gundam anorak, (an obsessive of the anime Gundam) as Toriaezu is the name of one of the lesser known battleships in Gundam

Well, it’s just that unless that was the case she wouldn’t be saying
‘Can’t wait to see you’ and ‘I want to hear your voice before going
to bed’
to a man.
Yep, definitely.

Have you checked out hotels in the area you’re going to?

Even if she was ok with it, I can’t imagine a hotel coming into it Plus she can make it home in her car at whatever time . . .

When it comes to relationships with women, I’ve experienced being disliked but never liked . . .
and that’s suddenly flipped and . . .
To be honest, I thought I was going to be single and a virgin till the day I die
that said, who knows if I’ll really be able to break out of this mould but . . .
can things suddenly change like this, for real?
can’t help but think about it
I have to clear my mind

I’ve lost all sense of time and I’m half in a dream. To be honest I’m half hopeful and half uncertain but I will do what a man’s got to do.

Up up and away you go!
Let’s say Hermes has heard about 2-Channel and understands the two sides of the coin here. if she finds out about this place, she may be moved to tears.
But I guess since she doesn’t have a PC, it’s not likely.
I hope today is the happiest day of your life!
Train Man, the computer nerd who shook with fear at the thought of calling a girl had transformed in two months. Train Man, having gone through what many would call a drastic transformation, carried the hopes and support of the netizens of the thread out the door as he walked towards his showdown with Hermes. No matter the outcome, Train Man and the netizens had no regrets. Train Man’s efforts were pure gold. Go, Train Man!

I just broke up with my girlfriend over the phone. I hadn’t heard from her in 3 weeks.
As I read about Train and Hermes I got to thinking about how in the past, we got excited just like this but once you lose the ability to get excited and giddy over each other, well, it’s over. I’m looking forward to today’s attack!
