Why does this guy ask me if I can make him a sandwich…serious question lol?

So yesterday, it was my first time catching the train go to my Tech course. I didn’t meet up with the group of people I was supposed to; but fortunately, I found a guy who also goes to the course, let’s call him “Eric” waiting outside of the station.

While Eric and I were waiting, he started saying, “Would you make me a sandwich? If I ask nicely…” and I said “Haha, yeah.” And he said some story about how he asked his Mom to make him a sandwich impolitely and she threw a loaf of bread at him.

Then at lunch when we were at Tech he turned around and said, “Will you make me a sandwich?” And I was just like… “..Heh, yeah (I went inaudible).”

Is it a “conversation-stater”? Is it because I’m a girl? -.- He also asked me: “Do you like cheese?” I said “Yeah” and then he’s like, “do you like d*ck-cheese?” I’m like…AWKWARDDD.

That guy also said that he did 5 shrooms (magic mushrooms) and he looked at a the picture on the wall and he was like “nothing is happening” until it started turning around.

And he said he took like 10 acid-tabs and he was holding onto the stop-sign because he was scared the ground was going to eat him.

He also kind of initiated that he wanted compliments. Like he said “haha some girls at my school say that my eyes are creepy, cause they’re a really dark green” and I just said “naw, your eyes are cool” and he was like “do you think i should grow my hair?” and i was like “yeah you kinda look like kurt cobain”

And he made a lot of dirty jokes. When we walked into Tech there was a fire-horse sign and he said, “no need for a fire-hose, i’ve got a fire-hose of my own if you know whatt i mean..” (dirty joke) and when we were sitting down waiting, there was a girl with a shirt dress walking and he pointed to her and said to me, “she looks like a sluuuut. don’t you think?”

this is my poem/credo that i have to present in front of like 70 people tmmro..please tell me what you think!?

I feel so alive!
I want to run to the end of the world and back
I want to answer my questions about death
I want to live life the way I want to live life
I want to lay back and stare at the stars every night
I want to wish upon the shooting stars
I want the wishes to come true
I want all religions to be gone
I want a fair and trustworthy Government that can rule us all
I want to train like a samurai
I want to wake up in the morning and see a beautiful face
I want to travel around the world
I want everyone to feel peace, joy, and love
I want to the first human on Mars
I want to fly a plane
I want the pain and suffering to end
I want the world to live amongst one another in peace
I want everyone to grow up in a happy home
I want a house to call my own
I want a car that runs on water
I want to make everyone happy
I want to make them laugh
I want them to smile, even when I cannot
I want to look at the leaves falling, swirling, and dancing
I want to ask question someday “Will you marry me?”
I want to feel the dedication to that one person
I want to have kids, watch them play, laugh, and grow
I want a job where I actually enjoy what I do
I want to live forever
I want to see where the world will end up in 1000 years
I want to jump of a cliff with a smile on my face
Knowing that I gave life my best shot

But what do I believe in?
I guess I believe in Life
It’s something we only get one shot at
No second chances
We fail, and it’s over. Gone. Done.
I don’t want to fail
I’m afraid of failure
It’s not like a game
Where if you die
You come back to life
There isn’t an extra life mushroom that gives you a second chance
You have to use the one life you have wisely
Choose the right path
Think about where today’s choices will put you tomorrow
But live life as if today was your last
One of my favorite lines I’ve ever heard goes like this,
“Yesterday was the past,
Tomorrow is the future.
Today is a gift,
That’s why they call it present.”
Shifu -Kung Fu Panda
I agree with that statement completely
Even though it’s just a child’s movie
That one quote goes a long way in my mind
I’m almost 17
I feel so old
Then I look at my parents
And I think, “Wow, I have another 5 of these 17 years to live.”
It seems unbelievable
But it’s true
If you think about dice
They have 6 sides
I’m only a 1; I’ve still got 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to live through
And the worst time to ask the question “What do you believe in?”
Is to a teenage kid
I know really know what I believe in
Ask me this question when I’m a 6
Then I think I can give you a better answer.

Is it really cheaper to not shop at the supermarkets and cook from scratch?

My question is more related to the hidden costs. I can go to a supermarket like Morrisons every day on my way home from work, so its not out of the way and I don’t need a massive freezer!
If I buy from a farmers market or local butchers, I can usually only go once a week, maybe once a fortnight due to the fact that you need an entire morning to go to the farmers market, butcher, green grocer etc – so its the time and the travelling from one shop to the next.
So your hidden costs is petrol and freezer running costs. I have a very small freezer – really big enough to store your ice cubes and thats about it. I would have to buy a small freezer to store a fortnights worth of raw stuff or batched cooked meals.
A loaf of bread for example is quoted. Yes you can buy the flour and make it yourself – so much cheaper, but the cost of electricity for your oven is never taken into account as well as the freezer running costs and storage if you want to bake more than one loaf of bread which would make sense so as to make best use of the oven.
Yes, I would like to scrap the supermarkets entirely, but I am annoyed with a lot of articles where people say oh its so much better and cheaper to not use the supermarkets but they don’t take into account details such as the fact that butcher is only open from 7:30am to 5pm. I usually finish work after 5 and I am not an early morning riser. Same problem with a lot of independent shops – they are only open when I am at work, which means I can only go there on a Saturday.
So in essence, is it really cheaper to drive around from butcher to grocer to wherever you go to buy flour for breadmaking etc and obviously does your electricity bill rocket when you start making more proper meals from scratch as a lot of nice meals can really only be done in the oven as the stove is not the best medium for quite a few dishes. And then the running costs for a freezer etc etc.
And time to go to 20 different shops. Also where does one go for non food stuffs like toilet paper. Wilkonson is still a supermarket like tesco, so I just don’t see where to go for a lot of things.
Growing your own food sounds great in theory, but again, if you are single, you work full time, the last thing you want to do is have to do gardening every weekend. Maybe I will grow strawberries and cherries because I like those and they are flipping expensive, but the rest I dunno.
Is there anyone who has actually lived a lifestyle where they no longer shop from the supermarkets in england and found it manageable to do all the shopping at farmers markets, independent stores which are never open when you are not working bar saturday! I would like to know whether you really think its more affordable or is it just some pipe dream for anti supermarket people. I have been to a couple of farmers markets and I cannot say that I have noticed that things are half price!

What was the most surprising time and how did you catch the fish?

Isn’t this a sad time of year? Here in Missouri, the rivers are strong and hard to fish. The stocked lakes have been fished to very low populations. Some people come right after stocking and catch the fish that still are used to fisheries and easy to catch. I don’t think there’s much challenge in that. Mostly I’m just gabbing.
I actually flatten out the barbs on my hooks on stocked lakes. Can just flip caught fish off line that way.
Anybody still troll on small lakes?
I got a nice stripped bass on a small lake in Michigan when my line was all tangled on the oars of the row boat. Made dinner for 6 or 8 of us. We were young and believe it or not, trolling in the boat.
Keep the faith, brothers and sisters.
my son also caught a duck the first time i took him fishing. we were fishing on Encanto lake in Phoenix AZ.. A duck about 20 yards away started squacking , flapping its wings, and splashing. Son kep pulling in line, I gotta fish, I gotta fish. Duck went under, popped up at boat. Real indignant. I unhooked it, it squacked some more, and TOOK off. Thanks for answers so far. Don’t fall in dirty water.
