In no particular order.
1: Drink no more than 4 beers a night when in public or there is the possibility of such.
2: Only use the lift when in a major hurry
3: If a girl is nice and semi-doable then do it. Don't be paranoid of what others think, Nothing came of last time and you have no reputation anyway. Something > nothing.
4: Write a blog post, story, etc... at least once a week. Who cares if you're a shit writer and feedback is scarce. Only through trying can it be cracked.
5: Learn strummy chordy guitar playing. Its dull but widespread and most demonstrable.
6: Don't be honest
7: Social niceties are pointless but they happen. Even with girls from the med. They are not horrid elderly relatives.
8: Dance like no one is watching
9: Remember to write everything down
10: But don't post everything on t'interweb
11: Investigate when the nation's sports events are and go. Sure you're out of shape but only through doing it....
12: Be careful your colours don't match before you go out.
13: Keep your room clean
14: Don't do the dishes in the bathroom. Trousers or no. Fuck the prudes (non literally)
15: Figure out the source of the smell and eradicate it
16: Buy a spare blanket.
17: S.V.E.N.S.K.A. Swedish= More than just the coolness I thought it would. It means better social life AND the only chance of work. Work=No more abject poverty.
18: Stop dissing London. They love it. They're weird but they do.
19: Slow down when speaking. Speak normal. But slow. Spit is bad no matter how rarely it happens.
20: The above can be excepted when giving a presentation. If you're better than the teachers at something you deserve a A which you will get.
21: ALWAYS wake up in the AM.
22: Get moving
I like #3.

Generally good, except number 6. That one will fuck you, if you go by it.

try reading #14 harder.
I thought he was saying that sometimes when he's not wearing pants he washes the dishes in the bathroom out of modesty. But now damn the torpedos he's just going to wash them in the kitchen, pants or no pants.
Like when guests are coming over in three minutes, you have no clean plates to feed them, and you just don't have enough time to get those fucking pants on.

I largely agree with you. But then again, toothbrushes sit in the bathroom. Best not to think about it, I guess.
Doing dishes in the bathroom :lol: Put on some goddanmed pants. Or shorts or whatever.
I find it interesting that Ed would have a problem washing dishes in the very same room that he, well, washes himself.
Not that I'd do it either, mind you...but I fail to see the disconnect.

I guessed you missed the point of my reply. It was a joke :) To be honest, I'm not even sure what you were getting at in the first place - do you advocate deception of others, self-deception, or were you making some totally different point?
Anyhow, I'll cop both to a certain amount of vanity and a reasonable amount of issues as well; but the specifics of your analysis - from your understanding of 'adoring brides' and 'traditional cultures' to any 'lurking issues' - are pretty far off.
Good to see you around, anyhow :hug:

Tyr always seems a little depressed, and more than a little cynical.
Unfortunately, i'd think the genuine love of others, sustained over a long term, and the warmth of shared experience and a deep sense of trust is the best cure, but it isn't something you can readily obtain.
Still, I hope you end up feeling better, tyr. :)

While you can certainly do that on both, I'm not sure where you'd get the notion that they exist in order to do that. In fact, in places like the Foggy Bottom metro station, I think the whole idea is that you are going to stand and wait - not walk up that whole entire distance or in other words having an escalator in places where having a set of stairs would be impractical.
It may depend on the volume of traffic :hmm:
In my experience when escalators are really busy, say in a central London tube station at rush hour, it is best to passively let the escalator take the volume..........people can stand closer together and throughput is higher than if they are jostling and trying to walk.
