Doom Metal Alchemist

I guess I just saw the common trope of the 34 year old loser who still lives with his mom on TV too many times?

Honestly I'm more worried about becoming an irl 40 year old virgin than zeni beating me.

Figured my mom would still freak out where I'm going and why. Yes, she's nosey. It don't matter now. Hell, I guess there's no reason not to do this now if I want.

They are still paying the mortgage. Will I inherit the house? Honestly that would be pretty cool, provided they actually pay it off before my dad dies (I'm 100% sure me or one of my brothers will have to take my mom in if my dad dies first, and I'm the only relative left in this town). Regardless if my money is going to hospital bills or the mortgage I am happy to contribute. Honestly I assumed I was burdening them by being here so it's a relief I'm not. I would not call it a hostage situation because the main issue I want to move out was just revealed to not be an issue at all (having pre-marital sex in my parents' house). Couple that with I STILL don't think I can even afford a place where I'd want to live right now.

I think I'm doing better in that department, I was able to get a band going (for a long time in my teens and early 20s I refused to look to join or form a band because I felt I wasn't good enough. I was dead wrong, but eh). I even asked a dude who has released full lengths on huge doom metal labels like Shadow Kingdom Records and Rise Above Records to join my at the time fledgling band on drums. I am immensely proud of my music and once it's more complete and polished I have a lot of confidence I can get a real cult following. I have a lot more confidence in my looks than I used to. I even have abs now, which I've never in my life had before I started my current job. I did feel "inferior" for living with my parents at my age but my dad just gave me a huge boost with this talk. Sometimes outside perspectives are needed in cases like these so in what ways would you say I seem to feel inferior?

My dad was first charging me $650, he arrived at that number because that's what my brother was going to charge me to live with him when it looked like I was going to move in with him in Sacramento for a job. At some point my dad confided in me that my mom's hospital bills were taking a toll financially and mentally, so I offered to up my own rent to $850. And believe me, he isn't screwing me. Ain't no way I'll ever find a place around here in a safe area for under $1,000. Even $1,000 is a stretch. Even though it's not the bay area or L.A., it's still CA. I was even planning on asking my dad to up my rent to $1,050 just to see how comfortably I can live on that without risk of being thrown out on my ass if it's too much to afford. And my dad brought up this conversation out of the blue all on his own, and I'm the one that brought up my concern of dating.

Well do you have any advice on how to get closer, or you just going to be a negative nancy just to be a dick?

Ok.

I recently got a decent sized raise and because of that I've been considering moving out of my parents' house. The chief reason I wanted to move out is because I really want to start dating and having sex, and I was very confident me having pre-marital sex would cause my mom to freak out. My parents know I've been looking around for affordable places to live in areas of town that are generally known as safe places to live.... my dad just out of the blue told me he hopes I don't move out soon because the rent I am paying them is helping them out a lot financially. See I figured that he wanted me to pay rent just because of the old "well if you're going to stay here, you're going to contribute financially" thing parents do for their grown kids, especially considering how old I am and how almost my entire life I've been financially dependent on them. But now it's come to light they actually have significantly MORE money with me living here and paying rent than they would if I was not living here at all, AND it's apparently it's not just extra disposable income they're getting from me, but money that's really helping out a real financial situation. So I told my dad of my concern with my mom freaking out at the thought of me having pre-marital sex in her own house. My dad assured me that should not be an issue, to my surprise. My other dating-related concern about living with my parents that I did not tell him, is that if I do land some dates and bring women here, they would probably think it pathetic that someone of my age lives with his parents and any dating I do while living here might not go too far because of that. Well, my dad just gave me a great excuse: My dad says he likes me living here paying rent because it helps them out financially. So next step: Clean my room because it's a pig sty. Then I can finally make that profile on Bumble. TL;DR I'm a lot closer to being able to start dating than I thought. Just got to get my room clean.

That's right, I also thought I tasted pineapple.

I had to google that. You may not know but Voo Dew is a mystery flavor that hasn't been revealed yet.... so I was trying to figure out what was in it.... especially since it tasted very different than other sodas I drink so yeah I was trying real hard to figure out what it was that I was tasting. Also I love Mountain Dew.

Happy anniversary guys!

The ATHF episode where Shake gets bit by a radioactive black guy which turns him black features orange as the stereotype. Fyrlock injected the antidote into Shake's orange soda. Though that is the only time I've heard of any soda other than grape being a stereotypically black thing.

i c wut u did thar

I think I tasted strawberry in it.... maybe grapefruit....

HBD! You were expecting a balloon cake, weren't you? 😄

Nightmare fuel.

Happy belated!

Not really into grape soda. I dig all kinds of Mountain Dew and I didn't even like their version of grape soda (Pitch Black, I think?).

Not particularly on-topic, but the pic in the OP provides nice context to this:

We can just TOSS that salad...... in the trash.
