Nope, I expected to be dead no later than four years ago

Well then what happens if I kill myself again

[–] slazer2au 10 points 4 months ago

Somewhat. I have to be somewhere at some stage, why not here?

Am i a bowl of petunias or a whale ?

The improbability of either is infinite.

I take the Gandalf approach.

No LOL.

He had wiser words to quote...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.

[–] TwoBeeSan 5 points 4 months ago

No. Glad though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

No, but what can you do when the buses are like this?

[–] idiomaddict 2 points 4 months ago

I never expected to get married (though I also didn’t really understand what marriage would be beforehand). I also thought I lost my chance at emigration, but luckily I made it. I didn’t think I’d be here, but I’m so, so glad.

I also never expected to be back in school, but that’s a necessary evil.

When do you ask if I expected it?

[–] Monster96 1 points 4 months ago

Dunno where I was going to be since I wasn't really thinking about it. But, there are worst places to be than here so I'm not complaining.

[–] SelfHigh5 1 points 4 months ago

Not in my wildest dreams.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I didn't expect to be most places I ended up.

[–] BugleFingers 1 points 4 months ago

Probably yes, there was a time I thought no. I've got a solid routine so I can pretty much guess exactly where I'll be in 5 years from now too. So, if I Still exist at that time, I can make a good guess

Man, I thought I'd be asleep by now!
