Hey everyone. According to AutoComplete, this is the first thread I've ever started that began with the letter 'Z'
Life is complicated.
I had to call the public defender's office today and find out that I don't qualify to have a lawyer appointed for me, and have to pay for one to defend myself against my charges on my upcoming court date for when I got arrested. Nobody I've talked to seems to think there's any possibility of me going to jail for possession of what I had, but I still would like to have it dealt with in a manner that is the least damaging to my life, like a conditional dismissal, probation and if that stuff isnt enough, some combination of fines, counseling, comm. service or a suspended sentence. I'm hoping this doesnt wreck me financially, or cost me my job, because I wouldnt know how to continue, unless i put my stuff in storage and took a long break at the local funny farm. Which sounds really tempting right now.
Anyone know any good cheap lawyers in RI?
Other than that, things are going well... Michelle and I have been going out for two weeks today, but she is suddenly going on a trip to New Hampshire and not coming back until Sunday.. since this is the first really involved relationship I've had since I was 17, and the closest I've probably ever been to a girl, things feel alright right now, since she is really supportive. I'm going to miss having her around for the next 5 days or so, but she wants me to call her cellphone to keep in touch and try the long distance thing for a little while.
Asia has been MIA for the better part of a week, which sucks since the more time we spend apart, the harder it is going to be to clarify exactly what is going on between us.. ive only talked to her once since we got arrested, when she got discharged from the ward and placed back in the home she was staying at. so basically, I have to explain to her that I started seeing someone else while she was away, but im kind of waiting because she is probably fragile with everything in her life and I dont want to turn her world upside down if she was counting on us being together. When I saw her, things were wierd. Orion slave girl routine again.
I was really unsure until recently if I was actually gonig to commit myself to something with either of them, but looking at my actions this week its kind of clear the Michelle and I are staying together, since I have turned down dates with a few other girls. Subconciously I think, because I feel attached to Michelle. And they are all coming out of the woodwork! Nikki, Jenn, Jen and Kate have all called me up recently with the 'hey its been forever since we went out' thing, which is wierd because things ended badly with all of them before they even started. Nikki is a friend of a girl I used to like two years ago but I never noticed, because I was trying for her friend. Jenn is the girl from when I was in HS who is back from college and the one I had to say no to because I wasnt sure I wanted to go as far as she wanted to. Jen is the girl who I hung out with at school last year, and basically was my clsest friend for months of causing trouble around town when I was recovering from my drug problem, and ended up fighting with because she didnt like me like I liked her, but now she wants to visit with me and stuff bacause she is probably lonely because of the way she treats people (like shit, specifically). it would be exciting to hook up with her because of all she meant to me, but I think I won't because of Michelle. Kate is a girl I met at a concert and had a long online relationship with due to matters of the inconvenience of us actually getting to see each other. She disappeared for a few months and then popped back online and wants to pick up where we left off.
So confusing.. I find taking naps really helps.
Now, its time to make fun of me until the thread gets closed! Or you could try to discuss this with me and be supportive. Oh well, it could happen...

Yes, I'm sure everyone here will have loads of advice to give, based on their own experiences of having too many girls wanting to go out with them and being able to choose. . .
Which reminds me, I never got round to listing all the unusual places I've had sex before that other thread got closed. . . (in order of coolness)
5. In a tent. 4. On a beach. 3. In a hotel swimming pool. 2. At a party at my brother's house, in his bed (he walked in halfway through). 1. On the premises of a company I worked at, in the computer training room. 8)

Thank you for flaunting your sexual prowless to those of us who can't have that, Vogon

Good luck with everything, C. Mike. Many a friend of mine has been arrested over the years, and none of them have had to go to prison. And I live in Texas. I think you'll be fine.
At the most you'll just have to work two jobs for a while to pay for the lawyer, and you'll possibly get probation. Probation isn't that bad, and a good lawyer can get you out of it.
As for the women...well...good luck, I guess. Wear a rubber, and all of that.
Posted by Kosh (Member # 167) on :
Depending on what you had on you at the time, you'll probably get probation. I was arrested once, with less than 14 grams of pot, and got probation. If you have more tan 14 grams, it becomes "Intent to deliver". I had a somewhat expensive lawyer. He only charged me $2000, since it was a misdemeaner. That was 1990.

That depends on your definition of crooked.
If you define crooked as being in possession of drugs then no, you are not the only one here who is not crooked.
If you define crooked as being arrested for possession of drugs then no, you are not the only one here who is not crooked.
If you define crooked as pursuing an "involved" relationship with one woman, leading on another woman, all while keeping yet more women on the side as options then no, you are not the only one here who is not crooked.
If you define crooked as embodying the worst male stereotypes then no, you are not the only one here who is not crooked.
Posted by CaptainMike (Member # 709) on :
hm. well im looking at a problem because i dont think ill have the money to pay a somewhat expensive lawyer.. and what i had on me was a felony.. and i dont even have as much as you did in 1990 saved up available to spend... maybe if i cash in my vacation time at work... shit
yeah the girls thing is wierd.. i must point out that, in many ways im not the girl mad gigolo i seem to have started to become.. i am still puzzled by the interest in me, since six months ago i was apparently more untouchable than a plague victim to all but one or two, of the female sex, whom i declined to be involved with.. my status line name should read "(bold)Project V(/bold): Virginity".... (which i have decided to maintain from completion, because of all the frightening factors involved)
BTW RawCadet, is that some sort of crack on me or are you just generalizing? hmm...

Hey, fun, flaming people out of the blue! Only, like, it isn't and stuff.
Dat, there are plenty of other forums available for your perusal. Some of them about Star Wars and stuff! I suggest you visit them. I refrain from closing this thread only out of respect to our wild and woolly Cap'n Mike, and Thomas Paine.
Posted by Raw Cadet (Member # 725) on :
quote:Originally posted by CaptainMike: BTW RawCadet, is that some sort of crack on me or are you just generalizing? hmm...
Is that a pun?
To answer your question, yes and no. Dat was vague to begin with, so I cannot even be sure his post is meant to be taken seriously. However, I responded based on the assumption his post is, indeed, meant to be taken seriously, and in order to answer the question his post posed I had to interpret what he meant by "crooked." Therefore, I summarised the behaviors in your original post that could be considered "crooked" in the four pithy paragraphs above. Speaking for myself, I answered the questions posed by my paragraphs and thus responded to Dat's inquiry. If, indeed, he believes the situations you describe in your original post to be "crooked," and was implying in his original post that he was not crooked (and had not been caught in any similar situations), then I have answered his question by stating I have also not been involved in any situations similar to yours.
Mind you, my first two (multi-lined) paragraphs are not neccessarily "cracks," as I find many things much more "crooked" than (occasional, recreational) drug use (although I, personally, just say no; but as CaptainMike said himself in another thread, to each his own). (Of course, since said drug use is illegal, I am not going to cry a river for anyone arrested for it; "don't do the crime . . . . ") If any crack is to be found in my post it would be in the last two paragraphs. I must admit that frankly, I have been finding your constant reminders that supposedly half the female population desires to be conquered by you little more than a lame attempt to let us know how big your dick is (thank you Dr. Freud). However, upon further examination, I can see how your "girl problems" could be a real conundrum. And, since you say you are not sleeping around on all of them with the rest of them, I suppose you are not doing anything terribly "crooked" (by my standards, anyway). In fact, I think "playing the field" (not physically, of course) is perfectly acceptable, until one finds a person they want to be serious about. If you are serious about Michelle, though, I think it would be best to lose the other girls (hey, you asked for my/our opinion, I think).
Tired yet?

hey, whatever, man. if you dont like it, dont post in my thread. i dont like your attitude towards my problem. im not trying to brag to you guys, im trying to make sense of what i should do about these new and unfamiliar situations. emphasis on 'new and unfamiliar'.. if you have some mad-on towards members of the board who get more woman-love than you do, direct it towards those who have actually gotten some, or more appropriately, those that publish lists of places and people theyve fornicated with. i have only become physically involved with two of these girls, and those two in passing only, for, as i noted, while i am fully functional, i have yet to be prgrammed in a variety of techniques. or even one. so stow your presupposed attitude that im some kind of double dealing don juan. im a geek who suddenly has a lot more options and things to be concerned about than he did a month ago.

Is your post from 12:44 a.m. (PSD) directed at me? It certainly seems to be, at least to me, but I ask because I do not see how any of my words would engender such an angry response. If you are, indeed, posting to me, I may respond eventually (though you would probably prefer I do not). However, it is late where I am, and I have to work tomorrow. Today. Un-American, is it not? So, I will not be able to defend myself from the inevitable onslaught of "regulars" who will see fit to flame me until tomorrow night. Or tonight, I guess.

Anyway, you see, the deal with "Playing Nice" is that, get this, you deal with other people with respect and decency! I know, it's, like, totally out there and stuff, but you go to trust me: it's cool!
How it all works is that you don't make unfair and uncalled for attacks on anybody and everybody around you! You don't make baseless accusations against others, and, when the point must be made, you don't result to petty stuff like assaulting writing skills and personal hobbies. It's totally whacked, I know, but you have got to trust me that this is a really cool and great thing!

Since Simon believes I am flaming, I will stop. But until I see any real improvement, BWC will always be you know what to me.
Posted by CaptainMike (Member # 709) on :
Dat, for the last time, start your own thread about BWC. im not having it here, since thats how the last thread about me got closed down. by you i believe. nobody is forcing anyone to post in this thread. if you cant stay on topic or, in some peoples cases, treat me with a little respect, here's a link to a place where bullshit like that is allowed TrekBBS
Back on topic, pending another unexpected flame, or even worse, a UM sodomy reference, things are calming down a little. Michelle is away until Sunday, and her absence is making my heart grow a little fonder. I'm realizing perhaps that she is becoming the most important to me, and the others are kind of just distractions. this leaves me in a better place to deal with distractions, since im a little more sure of where i stand. so i guess im not going to be perpetuating some sort of disapproved-of-by-losers male sterotype thing going on here, and im getting into a relationship i want to stay in.. basically, the onslaught of these girls is easier to deal with now that im thiking less with my dick and more with my brain.
and i approached one of the detectives at work and fessed up as to whats been going on in my life lately. he said that he had known, what with my suddenly being clean shaven for my 'important appointment' on wednesday and my requests about 'my friend' getting arrested. actually he could look up the reports if he wanted to also. he gave me some advice and assured my that with the possibilities of this being my first arrest, dismissal, probation and the possibility of my record being expunged in a year, leaving me not a felon, is something to look forward to. but he did advise me that any lawyer would take me for all im worth.. so im hiding my money for a while to see if i can get a good deal.
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :

Where do you work and why are there detectives there?
Posted by CaptainMike (Member # 709) on :
im a cashier at a supermarket, and they hire out Providence detectives to provide security at night.. basically, starting around 5 or 6 every night we have a different detective there catching shoplifters and pushing the carriage when, after the doors are locked, they take the dropsafe contents to the cash-up room. its reassuring to have a guy with a gun there whos on your side when you are shoveling ten or twenty thousand dollars from a safe into a lock bag.
most of them are either homicide or vice squad guys, Joe, the one who im really good friends with, is in investigations.. he does fingerprinting and lab collection work.
Posted by Matrix (Member # 376) on :
Ahhh... it brings back the memories of trying to date a dozen women at a time... wait... no... no, I didn't.
CaptainMike, if you truly have that many women after you, it's your call on what to do. I mean I cannot tell you to dump Michelle, and take the biggest breasted, the fair tanned, the dumb blonde, girl that you have the best way of getting into your bed.
Can you clear one thing up though, you state that Michelle is the first girl that you ever been that close to before, and it's only two weeks. However the other girls, which you stated to have been close friends right? But some of the other girls, were either hitting on you, or just a friend who wants to be close. Now the big question is: WTF is wrong with you? If what you are saying is true, then why before you dated Michelle never asked any of these girls out. I can undertstand long distance, but the ones who actually live nearby...
But thats just me.

However, picking on each is not cool. Picking on people who are not even participating in this thread is very not cool and potentially hazardous to your posting privileges.
If you got a problem with another poster on this board, take it to email, AIM, ICQ, or private messages. If you have a severe enough problem, talk to an administrator or moderator.

my post was in response to this sentence mostly. . . .
Then I will limit my response to the issue of that sentence, for the most part. (In the interests of peaceful coexistence I will not bother responding to a number of other insults apparently directed at me, save one.) First, I apologize for posting the sentence; it is, essentially, a pot shot, and we should all be above posting one. However, the sentence, in hindsight, seems a lot harsher than I intend it to be. It is not meant as a personal insult, per se, but, rather, as an insult of my interpretation of your behavior. When I believe anyone, friend or "foe," is bragging about something sexual, I think it lame. But, as you claim that was not your intent, I am apparently wrong all around.
Above, I said I want to respond to one insult of yours apparently directed at me, and, perversely, addressing the issue might actually help keep your post on topic (of course, you may change the topic of your post as you see fit, but I have no desire to de-rail it (well, maybe a little desire )). Methinks that before anyone can give you any concrete, detailed advice, you need to tell them what you want. I say this because you vehemently deny any Don Jaun-ness on your part, but you later refer to anyone who disapproves of the male stud stereotype as a loser. Well, which is it? Do you want advice on how to lose the other women and pursue a serious, monogomous relationship with Michelle, or do you desire a more studly lifestyle, one disapproved by "losers?" (And, to a certain extent, you have elaborated on what you want, but perhaps you could be more specific.)
Mind you, I am not asking so I may offer better advice, as it would probably be better for me to bow out of this thread, but perhaps anwering such questions will help others advise you.

Michelle got back today. I ran into her on my way home from work when i stopped by T-street to see who was hanging out tonight. She was in a hurry and didnt have time to talk, and didnt seem very interested in talking to me anyway. I dont know if its because theres a lot on her mind (there is) or if its because i screwed up seriously somehow in some way i cant figure now.. im not sure if she got the liebe-mail yet. crud, im pretty pissed at this situation. i just want to know whats in her head because this weeks been stressful for me and it made me realize that i need her a lot, not having her around. having the week make her realize she doesnt need me would be really bad for my mental state right now. i was starting to really really grasp the idea that i wanted to be with her, and her alone. coming to that decision, over all the others, and having it fall through would be the worst crap.
yes, i know this is pathetic.

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :
No matter what happens, going with your gut is the thing to do. If, deep down, you like Michelle then you're better off pursuing her and forgetting about the other girls unless it becomes clear that Michelle isn't interested. The fact that she was a bit cold towards you shouldn't be too serious, you probably just need a bit of exposure to each other to become comfortable in each other's company again, that's normal after being away for awhile.

Ugh.. I had to get up for school and got here for 8 today.. I'm still in the process of deciding whther to take the early morning summer class or the late summer class, both of which will interfere with the work schedule I've already made for myself... and both classes are already full, which means i have to bootlick to get into them...
and the fact that i dont get home til 3 in the morning from my night job doesnt make getting up this early feel any better.. and i work again tonight..
Michelle sent me a few IMs while i had a pretty severely depressed away message up, so i think she'll be getting in touch with me and i can gauge how much she seems to care.. im holding off on calling her for a little while till then. I think she was really distracted by a messed up situation last night, but i still feel she treated me wrong when she greeted me, and its a basic problem in the nature of our relationship (and the nature of my life, but i cant really explain that now) that we need to address..
now im going to sit in the computer lab and draw ships until i have to be at work.. i havent been here in months, its wierd to be back.
hay has anyone in the eastern seaboard US area noticed this fucked up atmospheric condition? we have a complete cloud cover from Canadian or something forest fires, so everything is colored bright orange because the sun is blocked by orange smoke.. it looks like a perpetual sunset, or a sepia toned old movie.. pretty kinky but it doesnt quite match my mood.

don't try to supress the nausea, learn to work through it. the best way is to just suck it up and talk to her. the nausea should go away quickly if you manage to not make an ass of yourself in the first 10 seconds.

It'll also disappear if you don't (unless you get punched in the stomach for inadvertently saying the wrong thing at the wrong time).

I got a loan, against some money I had saved. Credit Unions are so cool, as you can borrow against saved money without telling them why.

Wrecks & Cartman: Thanks guys, I hope you're right. I threw up my breakfast this morning, but wrote the girl an email saying I wanted to talk to her alone. So I'm waiting for a response, and shitting bricks in the meantime.
