I like you. I think you're a funny, good natured guy who is generally just pleasant to be around. If I could, I'd go to Texas just to buy you a beer or whatever you stupid Texans do.
Most of us are happy for you and Tam. We all deep down wish we could find someone we love as much as you apparently love her, if we haven't found that person already. And we know you're going through a trying time; being so far away from the person you love for so long a time, especially when she probably needs you now more than she ever will.
But Jesus fucking Christ, do you think you could make a single post without mentioning her? I mean, I almost had a heart attack in that Name thread the other day when you didn't mention her. But then in the thirty seconds it took me to post a one line reply you had already edited it to include her. We get the picture already.
Love,
Snoota
We 
you Pesco (and Tam), but enough is enough! 
Should've said something, but I've said it enough
By the way my words were faded
Rather waste some time with you...

Same thing for me, whenever I see a thread by Pesco I just skip it cause I know what its going to be about. [ 08-17-2003: Message edited by: Holden ]

Neither do I, and I don't understand why they bother so many people. The guy obviously loves her, and it's tearing him up inside being away from her, knowing she's in a world of pain and sweat and not being able to hold her and comfort her. Plus all this bullshit he's having to go through to get married. He's talking about her so often because he probably feels that if he doesn't he might go insane.

Me? I know what he's going through. He and I have discussed it at length, so I don't mind his posts. and yes, if you keep this sort of thing bottled up with no outlet, it will drive you nuts.

It's hard not to.
There could be a thread about the color of the last shit you took and Pesco would be like, 'Yeah. I took one earlier and it was kind of reddish. It was weird. I think I should go see a Doctor.
Which reminds me of the time Tam brought a puppy home.'

Snoota has a good point. It's hard to tell when a mention will come up.

I know you guys see the board as a place to laugh and be happy and mock shit and talk about games and stuff.. but sometimes when real life shit happens you need an outlet, and EC has become that for him, and most of us I am sure.
It's really lonely when you know that your loved one is deployed or gone to bootcamp, or you are seperated for months like this... It seems sometimes like everything will remind you of them, just like you said Snoota, yes, even a shit will. 
Pesco has the added stress of planning a marriage on top of her being in boot camp, so he needs people to support him and be there for him. It has to be extremely frustrating for him, and scary too.
I guess what I mean to say is, if you can't be there for him and understand what he is going through, just ignore his posts. They aren't hurting anyone, and I am sure they are cathartic to him.
Ya know?
Not to mention, someone I know tried to go into the Navy, and had a serious mental breakdown. That makes me worry about her, so I like seeing updates.
But even that having been said, if he kept it to one thread a week or something and just kept filling it, that would be fine. But for a while there it was up to two or three threads a week, if not multiple threads a day. Likewise, he was going into threads entirely not related to relationships, marriage, the Navy, Boot Camp, pants, claws, de-nuggetizing Arttemis, or Texas and was bringing up stuff about Tam. That's excessive.
I'm glad he's in love. I'm thrilled he's getting married (I remember back when all were friends, and Azakias jokingly called Lyinar and Deth IC "Mom and Dad" and cracking a joke about Az and Pesco...funny to think now they're IRL getting married...spooky, but amusing). Pesco's been pretty good to me, and he's a pretty cool guy in general. But eesh...

Mortious spewed forth this undeniable truth:
Shut the fuck up and skip over his posts.
You could have skipped over THIS post too! I BEAT YOU IN A CIRCLE!
I don't want to skip over his posts, though. He usually has something contructive to say until the last sentance where he forces a Tam reference into the post.
quote:
It is hard to watch you like this. I know that even though I may try to help, this is something I cannot give you any advice for. This is something I have never experienced in the slightest, so even though I want to give you advice I cannot. None of us here have, and I'm sure very few people you know have. While you seem to be getting better on the outside, I know it is just as hard as ever, if not harder, on the inside. I wish I could help you, give you some form of real comfort, but I know that in the end, the only real comfort comes from her. Almost 3 years of relying on someone for help through your toughest times, then having them stripped away during one of those times is hard enough. But knowing that they are having an even tougher time weighs more.I know what is happening though. You are looking for someone to temporarily take the job that Tam used to fill when it came to comforting you. You may talk about Tam all of the time, but you never speak of the mountain of other problems that lay across your shoulders. Those are the problems I'm sure Tam was the biggest and probably only help on. But since you cannot find that person, and you are set on helping Tam as much as you can through Boot through your letters, you have gone to just talking.
I can understand that. If you feel the need to talk, then talk. I know I will listen, I may not have something to say in return, but I will still listen. Even if it is just a goofy story about various things you and Tam have done. You know me, I'll just have another goofy story to throw back at ya.
That is a bits and pieces of a conversation I had with my dad several weeks ago. I feel it has atleast some relevance to this conversation.
Yall have probably a few more weeks of this to deal with. I do not plan on stopping because it helps me get through the day. And in all honesty, yall can blame yourselves at this point for a good many Tam posts. Yall started being vocal about it early on. At first I was pissed, now I'm just at the point where I want to annoy the fuck out of those of you that dislike the fact that I am trying my best to cope with a situation like this.
Some of you say I'm obsessing. No, I'm just dealing with a lot of shit right now. Every week it is something new with the Boot Camp situation. Other parts of my life change on a dialy basis. Because of this, I desperately hold onto the fact that Tam is the one thing that comforts me. That has helped me through all of this in the past. Mixed with the emotional breakdowns that come because she is away right now and I have such limited contact with her. It is always fun to be told it will probably never go away. It is something that no matter how long we live with this, the breakdowns will come. For once in my life, I find myself unable to control emotions I used to so easily.
There is only hopefully a few more weeks of this left til we are together again.
Anyway... In short...
OFF... AND... DEAL...
FUCK...
Hug?

She'll be gone 6 or 8 months at a time.
That time will be on board ship, where Boot Camp will seem like a vacation by comparison.
What she does will be dangerous as shit; ships routinely lose people each cruise--it's just the price of doing business.
She'll discover interests, make friends, see places--in short, have an entire life--that you aren't part of and have no frame of reference to understand.
Et cetera.

That's not to say you can't have a loving, complete marriage, but you should really learn to take this kind of thing in stride. You will whether you want to or not, eventually, but it's better to do it consciously from the start.
It'll save you both heartache.
Honest. [ 08-18-2003: Message edited by: Bloodsage ]

I'm already learning to deal with it better then I have. But it is something you'd have to be here to notice. Only so much can be shown over a message board
But like I said, there is a bunch of other shit happening that I dont talk about here.
In the end, I will learn to cope with all of it. But right now, I have more to worry about then just holding Tam again.
Oh and the real thing that bothers me is the fact that I only get letters. I read that they issue email addresses on ships now. We've lived most of our relationship through email, IRC, the message boards, and phone calls. Physical seperation I already know how to deal with, it is the lack of communication that bothers me. From what I've been told, the email on ships should help that issue.
He used to use his Navy email to send us pictures he took with his digital camera of the Asian whores he fucked when on leave in Singapore and other places. You'd think they'd monitor those things better!

And why the hell did you bump this without even fucking saying something original? Well, it's not like that's anything new. My mistake.
What the fuck are you even doing here at noon? Shouldn't you be sitting in a circle on the floor, with the rest of your remedial English classmates? I'm sure they miss the familiar shape of your sloped forehead, you fucking retard.
Take your hand off your cock when you try pitifully to reply to this, you slack-jawed faggot.
I'm gonna go get some damn coffee, just woke up and I'm too tired to make this worth reading.
