Got mine today, #91, came with an insert.

Wow, page 100 huh?!
So, I've been dating this girl since October now, and I'm completely in love... it's great. We had some rough spots in the first two months when we were both still trying to get out of single mode, but it's been seriously fantastic since we got over that. I can see myself with this girl for a very very very long time. It's impossible to fight with her, every disagreement we have is calmly and quickly resolved and set aside.
Now we are talking about how we can't wait to live with each other and how badly we both want to move, how awesome it will be etc etc. Thing is, we are both at the point in our lives where we don't want to move to another apartment, and we both have savings that are planned for house downpayments. We are talking about possibly combining our savings to buy a house together. Currently saying that we will start looking for a place come summer time, which would be about 8-9 months into our relationship. We would seek out a lawyer to draft up an agreement saying we go in 50/50 and come out 50/50 by selling if we happen to break up, so the only downside would be the hassle of trying to sell. We get all the benefits of owning a home and living with someone we love. (we both have lame roomies right now!)
How soon is too soon to shack up? Any of you ever purchased a home with someone you aren't married to? Looking for experiences and advice.

Speaking of the shards varient I find myself caring less & less each year about colors but god damn if I wouldn't love to own that lp it looks so rad

better call Paul.

i really wish taas would just get back together. perhaps my favorite band.

PMed.  Looking to just sell for cost + shipping.

I got the Casket Lottery "Real Fear" test. YES!

Been thinking a lot about my ex that I broke up with last month.  I have really serious commitment issues, so any time it ever gets slightly serious at all, I tend to get the fuck out of dodge.  It hit me last night that I probably really really cared for her, but did what I always tend to do- sabotage anything and everything, making things up in my head as to why it should end.  I was never vocal enough about how I thought things were moving a little too fast and now I feel like a dick.  I texted her this morning asking if she'd want to talk about things and she said yes and that she still had feelings for me.  So I think I'm gonna finally going to man the fuck up and face my fear.  Sorry, long rant.  Props to those who made it through the entire thing.  TLNR. 

I agree with everyone else, this new one is the one to start with. It took me a long while to truly understand Converge. The first time I heard them I was kinda like WTF? Even then I knew that I would eventually become a fan(atic). In some interview, Jake provided the analogy along the lines of listening to Converge is like learning a new language. Once you understand it, you live it. I am happy to have reached that point.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess someone is equating a lack of outburst with a lack of emotional investment in said argument, and by extension, relationship.
You should try and bottle all your feelings up until they eventually explode, preferably at inopportune times, so they'll know you care.

If I had a stick I'd chase some of these kids off my lawn. Ha ha.
By the way - I'm so damn stoked to hear this is in and will be shipping in the next few weeks. It might be sacrilege but this might be my favorite Converge album.

Damn son time to hit okcupid.com meet tons of ladies that way, some were dateble some just wanted flings

I agree with sjb2k1. Try to keep as normal schedule as you can. Keeping a constant (school) in your life will help keep your mind occupied and should help you start to feel better. Getting behind will just make things worse. Don't add more stress if you can help it.

Trusting that your side of the story is legit, my honest opinion is end it. If you are in a relationship and it hasn't been that long and you are missing the single life than it seems to me that you aren't that in to her. Than you add the jealously plus turning nothing nothing into a two day fight is recipe for thing ending badly. I have been in those kind of situations before and I ended up cheating and it all ended badly. I regret cheating but not the dissolving of the relationship.

you'd have to be pretty ugly, and the man would have to either be in a relationship, or get enough sex elsewhere to lack any sort of desperation.

you gotta fight the dub, and plug it in before any kind of stepping may occur.

wait...
there are more lyrics to gangnam style than just "oppa gangnam style" and "heey sexy lady" ??

Lol! I'm a child of the 80s so I'm allowed to 'get' this with no shame

You can never have to much squirting.

I heard it was because they're going to reunite Nirvana with a hologram of Kurt Cobain.

"It's like being around an unfamiliar language long enough that it eventually begins to make sense."
This was a great analogy. This is exactly how I feel about Converge. It took me a while for the music to make sense to me, though I always knew that someday it would. I kept on trying and finally understood. Now, I can't wait for this new album and to see Converge in October.

that's rough. It sounds kind of like she's got multiple options and trying to see which is going to work out the best for her. Which I suppose is smart, and kind of rude at the same time. Then again, you're almost doing the same thing. Hopefully she is thinking about you as much as you are her!

if a girl told me she met someone else and it went really well, i'd tell her to fuck off and move on. stupid cuntress. why would she say that??
i do feel for you because that does suck. we've all been messed with at some point of our lives... this might unfortunately be your time. i understand how you feel... but go get those other girls that you are chatting with captain!
