This summer I built the most positive friendship I'd had since college. I had a co-worker, a few years younger than me, who I had befriended at work. After she quit back in May, we started hanging out outside of work. We had a really positive relationship. We called each other on our bullshit; she called me out for being too negative and cynical, I called her out for letting her parents think and make decisions for her. We had a similar sense of humor and we got along really well. We could hang out just spur of the moment and keep each other company when we needed it. We could have deep conversations or just watch dumb poop on YouTube, it was always fun. We could open up to each other in a way I can't with most of my friends. We were hanging out after work two or three times a week. She was even trying to set me up with one of her friends.

Then I went and skreeonking ruined it, exactly one month ago. I did something stupid and it ended our friendship just like that. I feel even more defeated than ever before. I had a complete emotional breakdown at work the day after our falling out (if you knew me in person you'd know how unusual that is; I'm known for being stoic and internalizing things to a ridiculous degree). My co-workers all wanted to know what was wrong but I couldn't bring myself to tell them. After a week, I got good at acting like everything's okay again but it's not. I've been drinking everyday since, more so than usual. I'm frustrated and angry all the time. I'm angry at her for ghosting me instead of trying to resolve our problem, I'm angry at her parents for convincing her I'm a bad friend because I drink and, most of all, I'm angry at myself for skreeonking things up the way I always do. I don't know if I should try reaching out to her again or just let her go and count my losses. I already lost another good friend this summer but that was on him, he chose to cut me and his other friends off for petty personal reasons. This one is my fault and I don't know how to get over it. All I seem capable of doing is drinking to numb the pain. I've been in this hell before but right now, on top of all the other horrible poop going on in the world, I don't know how I'm going to pull myself out.

I ran into him on Facebook recently on someone else's profile. He was still foaming at the mouth at the idea that some people might dare enjoy the Heisei films after Godzilla vs Biollante.

I remember he lectured me once on not being a "real fan", because I didn't know about the Heisei films until 1997. As if they was widespread knowledge of them outside fan circles.

Just to be clear, of the couple of prominent former board members with Legion in their name... are we talking about Legion1979 here?

Legionmaster matters more.

I do miss Mr. X and Captainaktion.

That just makes me think of how bad the feud between Legion1979 and Captainaktion was. Never understood it; I always had a pretty good relationship with both guys.

Thank you, this is what I've been thinking this whole time. Be like a movie about the horrors of war not depicting any casualties or gruesome injuries, the whole point is to make you uncomfortable about it. Will there be people who go into this movie looking for the objectionable parts because that's hot to them? Yes and it's gross, but you can't stop that. Maybe this will be the wake-up call for some of the parents out there who let their kids join stuff like this without thinking, we don't know.
