^ Turn the hot water tap on, let it get hot, stick the jar lid under the running water for a minute. It'll expand the metal lid and it'll cone off easier.

I got an email from Grant. I next-to-never hear from him. When I do, he wants something. Usually tickets to something. So I opened the email thinking "What's he want this time?" ...yep, tickets. I told him I'd try. But I don't think I will.

Shame - he's a nice guy to hang out with. If only I could just, y'know, hang out with him. :)

I guess so. I thought maybe he just didn't care if it was obvious or not as long as it worked some of the time.
 
I've seen on Twitter that he's gotten tickets to the Nuggets, the Broncos, the Avalanche, and something at Red Rocks all in the past three months. I'm thinking I'm not his only ticket source. :)

Sounds like a moocher

Perhaps, but if it's who I think it is, I doubt it's done intentionally.

I have friends who behave somewhat similarly in that I hear from them much more often when they're having a tough time or if they need somebody to talk to. I'm not the funniest or most charismatic guy, but I do pride myself on being there for my friends when they really need it. Oftentimes, people take advantage of this and it can make the interactions feel a little one-sided. I actually find myself wondering on occasion if people are friends with me because they genuinely appreciate who I am, or just because I can help them feel a little better about themselves or their situation when they're down.

I'd like to believe that those thoughts are a manifestation of my own insecurities and not a reflection of reality though, because sometimes people just get caught up in their own thing without realising the impact their behaviour can have on others. I mean, I doubt this Grant fellow only stays friendly with Lex so that he gets access to tickets, but more likely he just sees him as a friend who has the ability to get them. He probably doesn't even realise that he's only been contacting Lex when he needs them, and I think if it was brought to his attention that it's what he's been doing, he'd be apologetic and inclined to adjust his behaviour. I think most people would.

As for my friends though, I think I'll just start charging them once I'm finished with my Master's. :lol:

I agree that i think he's a mooch and a parasite. There's plenty of people out there like him whom latch on when they realize that you can provide a special service, but give absolutely nothing back in return- or just the bare minimum to keep you hanging.

It is, and no, it probably isn't done intentionally. And I'm perhaps mis-informed, but from what I've seen, he seems to have two circles of friends. One group is what you might call the "inner circle" - that's the group of people he'll hang out with. And then there's the group I'm in. You might call it the "barter group". :) If I run into him, he'll say hi, and we'll chat a while. And he'll contact me if he wants something. Which, yeah, would classify him as a moocher...if he didn't expect people in that group to treat him the same way. I think he expects me to ask HIM for things that I know he can provide, except 1. iI tend not to need it and 2. even if I did, I'd feel weird asking for it. So I don't think he's "mooching" so much as he just feels I'm one of the people at the trading post.

The only pitfall I see is me thinking that doing enough trading will get me into the inner circle. Shame because he's nice, and his wife is awesome. Maybe I should just hang out with her. :)

I feel ya Lex. My bro has season tickets to the Bruins and my mom has Pats tickets. People ask me all the time for tickets but "quid pro quo" is what comes up and money is not in the equation. I'd never give up the Pats tixs cuz I love going to the games with my mom. My bro does hand me some Bruins tixs from time to time and I will take a friend or my mom along but almost never "give away" to a "friend".
 
Today is one of those days when you think it's tomorrow already...
 
fuuuuck

second day in a row with sinus headaches off and on.

stupid cold :( it's getting better, but having a fever + painfully sore throat has morphed into sinus headaches every couple hours. pattern seems to be sinus headache for 2-3 hours -> sneeze -> fine for 1-2 hours -> repeat.
 
Awww, how cute. I've just been propositioned online by a much younger guy for a BJ. I think he might be underage, too. Got to be careful.

As a newcomer to Aussieland with Asian ancestry, yes, racism in Australia is well alive. I remember when I was walking down the street in Brisbane in the morning, a bogan couple sitting on the bench yelled out Oppa Gangnam Style when I walked past them. This is only one small fraction of the racism I faced. And oh, don't get me started on Grindr, I been told I am ugly because I am Asian and I deserve to die. Seriously? But these people don't stop me from enjoying my time in Oz, I have met far more friendly and kind Aussies than those rotten shit ones.

You will always be my fav Aussie, Taz :)

There are bad apples in every barrel but I am glad you have appreciated the friendlier folk in Aussie land. Sometimes they are bigoted, but sometimes they just don't know any better. I've a friend that originated from Kansas and apparently his little sister thinks every Asian knows martial arts. :)
 
Grant seemed to accept my denial of his ticket request with equanimity, which I felt good about. Then he asked me for tickets to something else.

...I really should just start hitting HIM up for stuff now. Nothing to lose here. :)
