That it, both of you are grounded! Now knock it off, or I'll PULL THIS CAR OVER RIGHT NOW! [/dadvoice]

Yeah but you'll have to start driving again sometime, and when that time comes we will be waiting.

Shadowman, that's the kind of s**t that gets kids chained up in basements.

I'll tell you what I tell my dad: "bring it on, old man!"

Whoa now, that's the kind of thing you share with police, not relative strangers on the interweb.

Are you talking about my allegedly imprisoning children in my basement, or Shadowman's domestic abuse?

The latter. Why would anyone inform the police that they were in fact a weirdo who locks kids in his basement? You wouldn't make a very good criminal, Roddy.

...well. That went from 0 to 100 quickly. Time to put this site on lock-down while the FBI investigates this thread and storms all our houses.

Well in the battle of Shadowman vs. Shadowdad, it'd probably be an even fight. I still like my odds, though.

[BeastProwl]

Shadowdad? Is that Father from KND? Your personality makes way more sense now.

Hm. So remember how I was debating my current relationship?

So, one tiny bit of relationship advice: Things between me and my girlfriend have cooled and she's going to Montana for three months. I'm wondering if it would be wise to maybe talk about taking a break. Not like a date other people break, but just so we don't have to stress over keeping in contact (we're both phone phobic and I don't have social media). Opinions would be appreciated. And please, I'm actually asking you guys, I'm not whining to you like I was way 7+ months ago.

Well, decision made, by her. She's staying in Montana because the high school there had programs that are more interesting and useful to her career choice. Plus it's a way to apparently get back at her mother ( ). Honestly, while I really despise my mother, I'd not move to another state to prove a point. Also she dropped this bomb on me when she decided three days ago. She apparently wants to stay together, but a long distance relationship, arranged around school holidays with a 7+ hour drive time is not a good idea.

So yeah, sucks, but for some reason, I don't feel upset. Not even that she didn't consult my opinion in the matter (which seems strange, I mean, we've been dating 9 months).

you are way to young to even consider a long distance relationship. Live your life, son, it's too soon to lock your path on one long and lonely road.

Yeah, what the old fart said. Besides, even if she did it for the wrong reasons, I can't blame her for wanting to live in Montana. It's beautiful country.

TBH I think the best advice I can give has already been given. I wouldn't say you're too young (don't know your exact age, sorry). I mean I'd tell you to follow your heart, but simultaneously you should be aware of things hitting the fan and having a way to deal with the fallout from all that. Keep in mind, I'm just a mostly anonymous entity sitting behind a computer and typing on an Internet message board. You can do whatever you want with all that. Heh.

[Nemesis Maximo]

Take it from me, Mads. The single life isn't the boring lack of fulfillment some would have you believe. You save a ton of money! Money you can spend on college, transformers, video games, Cap'n Crunch, cookie dough ice cream that you can top with Cap'n Crunch, and home decor.

You can have a decent to well paying job and work it full time and not have to worry about your GF hounding you all the time about (a) not having enough money to buy her things so you need a better job and (b) not having enough time to spend with her because you work a full time job to afford her things.

You can get yourself the best pet ever: a goddamn lizard! And not have to worry about her being creeped out by what she calls a slimy weirdo even though most 3rd graders know that lizards are not slimy. And you also don't have to get some Godforsaken lap dog that will bark its effing head off.

You can smoke cigars as often as you want without a GF giving you crap about lung cancer because (a) you won't have a GF and (b) if your smoking it right, you don't GET lung cancer from a cigar.

Well, strange thing is, she's a really sensitive person, so it's odd she'd kind of disregard me.

you are way to young to even consider a long distance relationship. Live your life, son, it's too soon to lock your path on one long and lonely road.

Oh yeah I agree. Again, I was considering ending it even before this development came up.

Yeah, what the old fart said. Besides, even if she did it for the wrong reasons, I can't blame her for wanting to live in Montana. It's beautiful country.

Oh no I agree, I've spent some time there and it is a fantastic place, probably the only Midwestern state I'd ever want to live in.

I love the Museum of the Rockies, so I see your point. But yeah, at 17, I think a long distance relationship is a no go. I mean, you have school, which isn't like a job where you can take a few days off and visit your SO. Additionally, at least if you're an adult, you have the physical aspect of a relationship to help ground it. However seeing as I'll be 18 in Nov. and she'll be 18 in two years, I'm not even going to approach that (I don't want to do anything physical until both me and my girlfriend are legal age).

I've had the single life, and I know it's fine. Besides I'm pretty dang well off right now and set up for college. Plus she isn't that kind of girlfriend, for example, she got really mad at me because I bought her and her family lunch, even though I was their guest.

You can have a decent to well paying job and work it full time and not have to worry about your GF hounding you all the time about (a) not having enough money to buy her things so you need a better job and (b) not having enough time to spend with her because you work a full time job to afford her things.

See above. She's not a "buy me stuff" girl.

You can get yourself the best pet ever: a goddamn lizard! And not have to worry about her being creeped out by what she calls a slimy weirdo even though most 3rd graders know that lizards are not slimy. And you also don't have to get some Godforsaken lap dog that will bark its effing head off.

I've considered lizards, but truth me told I am a lapdog person and my family is considering buying a dachshund.

You can smoke cigars as often as you want without a GF giving you crap about lung cancer because (a) you won't have a GF and (b) if your smoking it right, you don't GET lung cancer from a cigar.

And I'm never going to smoke. Lost a grandparent to lung cancer, plus I have a nasty reaction to nicotine ever since I got nicotine poisoning.

Michigan is a Midwestern state, you twit. Now you've insulted my people!

In her defense, that is kind of a weird thing to do. Just because you're their guest, you don't have to lay for their food. You're only 18, remember. That makes you look clingy and desperate. Wait until you're like, 22 to start buying her whole family lunch. And then only when you're actually engaged/married.

No seriously, you can't get lung cancer from cigars unless you're smoking them like a complete moron. You're not supposed to inhale the smoke, just draw it out and let it swirl on your palette, then Release it. Repeat after me: cigars =/= lung cancer.

there is a small risk of oral cancer though, but only if you smoke multiple cigars a day. Winston Churchill did, and he lived to be 91.

Also, how did you get nicotine poisoning? Was it from a cigarette? Coz those are crap. I would never condone those chemical tobacco abominations.

[BeastProwl]

Yeah, long distance sucks...
Least she didnt want to move to Canada or something...

Ah. Yeah. To be that young again. Heh.

Frankly you guys are fairly young and at that age a hard lesson to learn was "nothing lasts forever" in a way. Personally I'm single now (and yeah, 31 ) and enjoying it immensely. No one to yell at me when I spend a hundred dollars or so on toys.

Plus I have a lizard to keep me company. He's adorable and I call him my son. He's therapeutic for me with my condition at least.

With or without nicotine poisoning, I agree with you on the whole non-smoking thing. Though, Maximo DOES seem a lot like the type that would smoke. He is too much like a younger version of Sullivan from Uncharted.

Aw, thanks!

Tryanno, what kind of lizard do you have?

[Madeus Prime]

Michigan is a Midwestern state, you twit. Now you've insulted my people!

Note, I've only been to Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.

In her defense, that is kind of a weird thing to do. Just because you're their guest, you don't have to lay for their food. You're only 18, remember. That makes you look clingy and desperate. Wait until you're like, 22 to start buying her whole family lunch. And then only when you're actually engaged/married.

They took me down to Spokane to go ice skating, paid for my pair of skates, and just in general I was looking to make a good impression on her mom and sister. Plus it was the last time I'd see her before Christmas vacation. And it was fast food (they picked it), so hardly a huge expense.

Stuff like this makes me worry about you, man.

I'm a dog person, sue me.

Also, how did you get nicotine poisoning? Was it from a cigarette? Coz those are crap. I would never condone those chemical tobacco abominations.

No, surprisingly enough. I got it from cleaning a wardrobe. I was helping clean out my grandfather's house after he died (multiple pack smoker, surprisingly, it wasn't a smoking related death). So I was washing a wardrobe in the back yard. I thought it was made from cherry wood, but it turned out it was oak with a thick lacquer of nicotine. I was laid up in bed for over a week and felt nauseous and sick for about a month. Not those symptoms tend to return around excessive cigarette smoke.

Frankly you guys are fairly young and at that age a hard lesson to learn was "nothing lasts forever" in a way. Personally I'm single now (and yeah, 31 ) and enjoying it immensely. No one to yell at me when I spend a hundred dollars or so on toys.

Like I said, not super broken up about it. This honestly gives me a really good way to break it off with her. I don't want to break up necessarily, but at the same time I don't want to do long distance.

Plus I have a lizard to keep me company. He's adorable and I call him my son. He's therapeutic for me with my condition at least.

I got a snake that's moved into my sun room. I personally call him Asmodeus (I read Redwall as a kid). He's a rubber boa and is fat, and eats mice that get into the house (#countrylife)

[BeastProwl]

Well i'm bored and looking for something new to draw, so anyone have any ideas ?

[Tyrannacon]

Tryanno, what kind of lizard do you have?

I have a Savannah/Bosc's Monitor. I named him Solitaire, like the card game. I posted a picture in the Pets thread the other day. He's about 7 now.

Snakes are cute. More cute when they do boops. Heh.

I had a cat for 19 years and she was infinitely awesome and quite the character. I lost her back in late 2006 and I was reluctant to get another animal for a while mostly due to my situation going on but the loss hurt me for as long as I did. When I got more stable was around when I got Solitaire. It's great because there's no fur to mess with my allergies.

I am currently drawing Titans Return Soundwave. Maybe draw some toys?

(Note: If you have an artwork page, maybe we should chat about this stuff there?)

I do but I dont wanna bump it from the dead unless I have art...I'll post my next TF related drawing there soonish.

speaking of bumping it, best transformers game track, easily:
