    finally told my best friend that I couldn't handle his narcissism anymore and that we need some time apart, and that maybe we could hang out again in a few months - when summer rolls around - and see where things go from there.

    this guy has been draining me emotionally for half a year now. he is a textbook example of a narcissistic personality, down to the pretending to care in order to get what he wants. I had no idea a person could really be that way. I still find it difficult to understand, hard to believe, but you can't deny what's right in front of your face.

    I don't want to post about it on facebook but none of you really know me, so I feel comfortable sharing it here.

    this is a huge win for me. hurts like hell. but feels really good too. that is some garbage I should have put out to the curb ages ago.

    life tip: friendship with narcissists is only ever one direction, and it's not the direction you want. if you meet one, run. run like hell.

    Best man at my wedding was exactly the same way. And due to my inability to make friends, I kept him around. It took him being the only person to not bring a gift, followed by the next 18 months where we only talked when I called him, and that he couldn't even be bothered to give me a call for me to cut ties with him. I've seen him twice since the wedding, and that's it.

    vaguely related, i hate situations where i am obligated to give gifts to adults because i never know what to get them and all the decent adult gifts are expensive as fuck. i much prefer spontaneous gift giving. a bit of candy here, a meal there, a silly poster... that kind of thing.

    I definitely understand that and for what it's worth I could have given a shit if no one chose to get us wedding gifts, and was floored by the overall generosity of people we did invite. I've always been the type that the thought that counts.

    For example my sister couldn't make it and knew she never could when I set an invite but she still sent a text the day of our wedding to wish me a great day.
    I just hate fake people which is what Melena was getting at. The signs were there well before but I think this was the straw that broke him.

    I think it comes down to both of us being loyal to a fault and willing to sacrifice too much.

    pretty much. givers do not mix well with narcissists... well, not from the giver's standpoint anyway. I'm sure it works wonderfully for the other guy!

    $30 gamestop gift card. Wasn't a usual pool based on entrants. The money from the tourney was to go into the club that was sponsoring it's funds. (wish it were like 60% because I'd have taken a lot of money)

    I'll probably put it towards a 3ds game or gta v for PC if I feel like it's worth rebuying that game (have it for ps3)

    Had a 90 minute phone interview with Amazon on Tuesday, felt sorta terrible getting off the phone with them.

    Got an e-mail today they want me to come in for an in-person interview. So excited I can't think straight.

    Sorta fail - I don't have the interview until March 23rd, so that's a long ass 4 week wait (Well 3 weeks and 3 days I suppose).

    Seems to be the norm for corporations nowadays. I'm in the middle of a 3-week wait for my in-person interview to be a market research analyst. Had a phone interview last week and I'm waiting till the 2nd week of march for the in-person. The wait is killing me.

    My 2 year fixed rate mortgage deal is ending and I've managed to get the rate down for the next 2 years, saving me £40 a month. Also my fees to my landlord are being reduced by £20 a month. I might save the difference and put it towards an overpayment and help reduce my mortgage a smidge.

    Those two things seem not compatible to me... How do you have a landlord and a mortgage? Do you own something in a larger building?

    Got myself a scalp massager that looks like an open-ended whisk. Shit is on par with sticking a q-tip in your ear with how good it feels.

    Those fucking things are creepy as fuck. My husband likes to try to get near me with one and I run around like a little girl. Fuck those things.
