New Moon Trailer

I am sitting through the MTV Movie Awards 2009. Why? To see the New Moon trailer!! And you know what? It looks freaking awesome!! Can't wait!!

Right

Right, of course. Greg has appeared in my apartment. Sigh, give up!

Damage Control

Been doing some damage control this weekend. I guess I wouldn't have to do it if I wasn't so great at making messes. Reached out to Dance Guy and exchanged some texts. We'll see what happens with him and Rocketman...

Not Impressed

I went to a networking event at Le Club last night. I was not impressed at all. There were some nice guys out, but as I have already learned, nice isn't going to cut it. I made two friends, let's call them Tom and Jerry. Even though I spelled out in plain English that we are new friends, I don't think Jerry got it.

I tried to behave myself, but simply couldn't. This short, sweaty, nasty dude kept trying to talk to me. I was cordial for the most part. However, after the 8th time of him asking me if I am looking for a job, I told him off. LOL

Went out in Nob Hill with Tom and Jerry after the event. We ended up at a bar I have never been to. It was really a strange new world with an even mix of guys and girls (the girls were actually pretty cute too). The bar has potential to be great, but only if they get a lot more people older than 22-25.

Oh Dirty

Oh oh oh dirty. I texted Tall Guy (from the woodworks) back yesterday. He replied with a dirty text equipped with clothing requests. Ew.

There was a guy in class yesterday who could have sugar daddy potential. Is that a path I want to take?

Must Add More

I haven't seen Rocketman and Dance Guy in 3 weeks or so? Interesting... I really think I'll see them again in the near future...

A new guy was in class tonight, unfortunately, he is eh.

Must add more guys into the lineup. I'll be going out tomorrow night, so that will be a nice start.

Woodworks

It's that time of year...birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, sun is shining, girls are wearing less clothing, and boys are coming out of the woodworks.

My friend L and I have a theory...boys come out of the woodworks in the spring. Who are these boys? The ones that have been dismissed/ignored/passed up for a variety of reasons. Some might have been from weeks ago, others from years ago.

Tall Guy from February/March texted me today. LOL.

Apathetic

I have spent the past week swimming around in my own thoughts. With the help of some pals we have discovered I am not lazy, instead, I am apathetic which might be worse.

I really do dispose those ("friends" and guys) who outlive their entertainment value. I don't hate them since that would require precious brain cells and effort...I simply just don't care. Maybe I am a sociopath or maybe most people out there are a bunch of sissys or maybe I haven't met the right person yet.

What Do I Really Want?

It's time to ask myself, what do I really want? Am I more into being chased? Possibly; when I am not being chased, I lose interest pretty quickly. I already know I like the idea of things more than the real thing (a lot), so this comes into play too.

I spent quite a bit of time with married couples and couples in general in the last week. I used to think I was ready to find someone great and settle down. However, now I think I need to reevaluate my readiness level. Yeah yeah, I guess if I meet "the one" I would see the light blah blah. But, I don't know if I have met him yet...

Throwing In The Towel

I had dinner with a friend last night. We discussed guys, girls, etc...the norm. I always knew 90% of guys do not throw in the towel very easily, but wow...some of the things guys do!

• Drive, fly, ride incredible distances to see a girl they are interested in
• Watch the favorite movie/favorite TV show (even if they really have no interest in the movie/show) in order to be with the girl
• Read the favorite book to have something to discuss with the girl
• Constantly be in the neighborhood ready for coincidental run ins
• Always read to "help" with car troubles, household chores, homework, etc

DMV

As we all know, the DMV is never a pleasant place. I was stuck there for over an hour today. On the plus side, I met 3 professional athletes while standing in line. Even getting into trouble at the DMV...LOL.

Normal People?

If the people I saw on BART today are considered to be "normal" by society, then I never want to see a "normal" person again. One guy had greasy thinning hair, was obese, had red spots all over his face, and was picking his nose (and I mean digging for gold). Eww.

Disappearing Act

F*ck it, it's my turn to pull a disappearing act. I haven't done one of these since I moved out here to SF (well, if you don't count the weeks I spent in SoCal and the Tropics late last year / earlier this year). I am way overdue.

I am disappearing from salsa for a week or so. I need a break before I punch someone out. This means, I will not see Dance Guy or Rocketman (that is if they show...I'll actually be notified by a classmate if there is a sighting). If he/they show, I am sure he/they will notice my absence. Now the question is, would my absence compel someone to reach out to me? I'll see what happens and letcha know...

Class...Bah Humbug

No one interesting showed up in class tonight. I'm getting pretty sick of class. Well, not so much class, but the annoying turds that I am forced to see all the time because they also have nothing better to do. Most of these people do not fall into the "wanna see them everyday or ever in this lifetime" category.

I Heart Chuck Bass

I just watched the season finale of Gossip Girl. I heart Chuck Bass!! If you haven't watched tonight's episode, stop reading. If you don't care or have already seen it, how psyched are you about Chuck and Blair? I have been rooting for them all freaking season. I should be embarrassed, but I am not...so screw you :)

Overvaluation

I meet a lot of guys who over value themselves. Yeah yeah, it's common everywhere in the US, but it's most deadly in the SF Bay area.

Top 5 reasons why guys should not over value themselves in the SF Bay area:

1. There are exponentially more guys than girls in SF (take a look at every bar I have ever walked into) = the demand for girls is much too high and the market is over saturated with guys
2. In general, girls in SF are not attractive (number one complaint from the guys, especially from those who have visited/resided in LA and/or New York) = with the already low supply, we just lowered it a lot more if a guy is looking for a cute girl
3. Not many girls in SF are capable of holding a conversation (this is the number two complaint I have heard from the guys) = already scarce supply of attractive ladies just got lower with the addition of intelligence/being interesting
4. There is always a better looking, smarter, richer, nicer, more athletic, et al guy around the corner = competition amongst the guys is very high and it is difficult to differentiate oneself and demonstrate value
5. Getting a girl's phone number is nothing (that girl probably gave it out to at least 3 other guys that hour) = too many substitutes/competitors, lack of a captive audience and low switching cost for the ladies

Key TakeawaysThe sooner a guy learns these things, the better off he will be. I know a lot of guys who move to SF and think it's all soooo easy. Well, it is definitely easy to bag an unattractive unintelligent inebriated girl, but who the f*ck wants that? SF is awesome. I freaking rule out here!!

Chill Weekend

Had a pretty chill weekend. Vicki bailed last night which was quite nice. I really didn't want to go out.

Met up with Greg today. Unfortunately, he still doesn't get it. He made some very obvious moves. I totally ignored them. He can't seriously think I am so dumb that I don't realize what he is up to. He kept wanting to tell me something, but of course I changed the subject and did not press on. As a big hint for him to graciously back down, I brought up Rocketman. Greg was not pleased. He also isn't a big fan of Rocketman even though they haven't met...no surprise here.

It's simply spectacular that the guys I have to put up with all have gigantic egos. I have heard a variety of "issues" I suffer from because I won't hook up with a boy who is trying...

• Racist
• Ageist
• Repressed
• Prude
• Lesbian

Greg was trying to talk me into hooking up with him. Are you f*cking serious? What part of "I am just not into you" is difficult to comprehend? Or how about "Dude, how many times have you already tried? And, how well did it go for you?"

Neighbor girl is at it again as I blog...I could have sworn I heard spanking. What does her dude or dudes look like?

Unexcited

It was around 80 degrees today (aka way too hot for SF) which means tonight should be a great going out night. I am not all that excited because I am supposed to have girls night with Vicki. I bet I can prove my theory that I fare much better in solo operations than with a wing girl in tow. Already trying to figure out how to turn Vicki into a lunch/shopping friend vs. go out to the bar friend.

What's Next

Okay, what's next in this Rocketman/Dance Guy adventure?  I haven't seen either of them since Saturday and I don't think I will see either one of them until after Memorial Day (I'm pretty busy next week).

Do we think Rocketman gave up?  Or do we think he is calling in reinforcements and regrouping?

Ugh, What Is My Problem?

Seriously, what is my problem?  I find myself being very curious about Rocketman.  If he is playing a game, I suppose he is doing an excellent job.  If he is just Odie part 2, that's not great, but it's still working.

I Am Not Doing This On Purpose

It's really not my intention to undermine Rocketman's confidence. Sadly, I cannot prove this with evidence from the last month...I mean, just look at everything I accidentally did.  If we ever end up dating, this could be a really funny story.

I think he is interested, but don't know how much.  Come on, what guy would agree to me showing up knowing full well he is the only single guy there. I don't think he orchestrated it, that would be Dance Guy, but he must have signed off on it.

Let's think about this from Rocketman's perspective.  Imagine he thought I knew I was the 6th person.  Well, the sheer fact that I brought Vicki would say "not interested" because I added a 3rd wheel. Oops. Totally thought Dance Guy knew I would be bringing her, but he was definitely surprised.

Speechless

I am speechless.  Last night was interesting to say the least...  I did not go out with the roomie.  Dance Guy called me to meet up with him and his crew.  I brought Vicki.  I didn't realize it was going to be a setup, but that became clear when I saw the couples and a lone Rocketman.

At the first bar, I spent most of the time talking to Dance Guy and Vicki while Rocketman stared at me.  At the second bar, Dance Guy suggested me and Rocketman go on an outing sometime, Rocketman dropped the ball.  The boys got hungry and wanted to eat.  Dance Guy was sweet and grabbed me and Vicki some food even though we weren't hungry.  Rocketman bailed early with the others, so Dance Guy, Vicki, and I continued our evening at the third bar.

Even though Dance Guy is taken on the DL (and yes, I am not supposed to know about this), it seems like he is curious about me. He wants to have a chat with Rocketman (sounds like my roomie and Odie).  Apparently, Rocketman is also known for having 0 initiative. What is with the guys in SF??  I told Dance Guy it was fun and we should do it again (notice how I was intentionally vague...didn't specify who "we" encompasses, I'll leave that up to his interpretation); he agreed.

I do not want Rocketman to ask me out just yet...I don't think I know him well enough right now.  I would like to see them all collectively at least one more time to monitor his behavior towards me and gauge his interest level.  Rocketman is my type physically.  Dance Guy is really funny and knows how to behave around girls...maybe some of this will rub off on Rocketman?

Dance Guy is a schemer...we'll see what he comes up with next.  Just going to sit back and watch it all unfold; it's nice being able to take a break from scheming.  I am sure this is not the last of our adventures...

Saturday Night

Saturday night...what to do?  Supposed to hang out with Rocketman and Dance Guy.  Roomie wants to go out and get trashed.  Why not do both?  I don't think I want to see Odie though...

Intrigued

I wouldn't call myself excited, but I am very intrigued about Saturday night.

1. Will this meeting actually go down?
2. Will Rocketman show?
3. After having a real conversation with Rocketman, will I want to go out with him?

I still think it's weird that Dance Guy watches me in class...a lot.  Eh, maybe he monitors for his pal?  I am pretty sure Dance Guy was also trying to figure out if I was into girls the other night...

Holy Clusterf*ck

Oh man, clusterf*ck is the best way to describe this.

Vicki found out Dance Guy is not single.  Jenna was trying to do some more recon for me and Vicki. I hope Jenna didn't tell Dance Guy I think he is cute. Dance Guy really is a good looking guy, but I already decided on Rocketman days/weeks ago (see previous blog entries). Too many cooks in the kitchen!

20/20 hindsight.  Everything makes sense.  Dance Guy really is trying to sell Rocketman to me!  I wonder who else Dance Guy is trying to pimp Rocketman out to...

Haha Puke

I have a roommate I don't like very much because he is very negative and pessimistic.  He's got a couple of good days every now and then, but they're pretty rare.

He is puking in the bathroom right now.  I can honestly say, this makes me incredibly happy.  Evil?  Yes.

We Have Progressed To College

Okay, I might out of high school and have now entered college.

Puke, gross. Had to dance with a truly revolting guy at salsa tonight (hunchback). He was very excited to dance with me. Think frat party style. He kept trying to pull me closer to his crotch. Are you f*cking kidding me?  NO, keep THAT away from me!!! I wonder if he knew everyone saw just how happy he was...

Spoke with Dance Guy. I will be meeting up with him, Rocketman, and a bunch of people (guys and girls) they know Saturday night. Dance Guy is really pushing Rocketman. That's fine, Rocketman needs to man up. Why is it that he can't do this without Dance Guy's assistance?

High School

I feel like I am back in high school. I remember how I used to get sooo excited about guys I was crushing on. Yes, I still do that now, but it's just not the same. The intensity is much lower and the time frame in which I am infatuated is quite short.

Odie is done. I am tired of that stupid story which has gone on waaaaay too long.

I am still curious (albeit much more interested weeks ago) about Rocketman, but if he doesn't motivate sooner rather than later that might be the end of him... I mean really, take a look at yesterday's post vs. the "eh" seeping off your monitor today.

Oh, Let's Go!

I am in it to win it. Let's go!!

I can say with an 80% confidence interval that Rocketman is indeed interested in me. Let's see, it's Monday and raining, but he went to salsa class. That must mean a couple of things

1. His weekend was unsuccessful (didn't meet any cool girls at the bars) and/or 
2. He wanted to see me and/or 
3. He couldn't stop thinking about salsa this entire weekend

Hmm. I learned he is not the type to throw in the towel easily. Perfect! I am not even close to being easy to get; I see nothing wrong with being picky. We danced together once. I caught him glancing over a couple of times and blatantly staring. After class, he practically ran out of the building while trying to seem important (playing with the phone) and haphazardly said goodbye.

Well buddy, I am on to you!! Trying to play cool much?

I Just Knew It!!

You know when you just know stuff? Well, I had a feeling Rocketman would show tonight. Yeah yeah, 20/20 hindsight, but riddle me this...why did I put on mascara and dress like a presentable human being even though it is raining out? Cause I KNEW he would be there. More later...

For Your Viewing Pleasure

Just came across this on StumbleUpon. I Guess You'll Do is a hilarious 4 minute video on dating/marriage/etc.

Ivan, yes, I finally watched "The Murray Hill Song" (it's pretty funny).

Definitely Not (updated 5/4)

Just Say No!!
There is a kind of guy I refuse to date; programmers/software engineers/computer engineers. I have never met one who hasn't gotten on my nerves (or those around me) after more than 2 or so exposures. I actually dated one in college when I was young and stupid; it was terrible and I should have broken up with him much sooner.

Top Reasons Why I Don't Date Programmers/Software Engineers/Computer Engineers (updated 5/4)

1. They think they are always right (more so than the average guy or girl) about every topic imaginable...even ones where they really have no clue. For example, "If your skin turns green, that means the gold is real." Wrong!!
2. They think they are incredibly intelligent and logical. Okay, the intelligent part is sometimes true, but if this was actually the case all the time, why the f*ck would they choose to do something a trained monkey can do?
3. They have no social skills and can't talk to people. Maybe this is because they spend less than 1 hour a day away from a computer? I don't think I even need to give an example, all y'all have met at least 1 programmer/software engineer in your lifetime. Their excessive sweating is usually a dead giveaway.
4. They are pessimists/angry a lot more often than not...perhaps emotionally unstable is a better description. I would be too if I was a programmer. Little things set them off about humans because humans are much more unpredictable than their precious computers.
5. They usually have some kind of OCD/anal retentiveness. Everything has to make sense to them, not that it means their thought process is in anyway logical. For example, fruit must go in the fruit bowl; anywhere else is wrong.
6. They are ignorant. For example, "You speak Japanese, right?" I reply, "No, I am not Japanese." Programmer: "Well I figured you would know Japanese because you are Asian and Asians all know how to speak the other Asian languages." He was being completely serious.
7. They think they are clever. Right, so clever that girls like me got them to do both our homework all through high school.

Yes, these are stereotypes/glittering generalizations, but I live in SF and have met many programmers/software engineers...this list applies to every single one I have ever met. Programmers/software engineers, take no offense...I am sure you couldn't handle/wouldn't want an intelligent, well educated, witty, good looking girl like myself anyway.

Great

Great, the boys (roomies) are both in foul moods. Could it because someone is getting busy and they aren't? Yeah, the neighbor girl is at it again...I still think she is an escort.

And the world of Facebook. Apparently, an acquaintance is trying to befriend one of my girls. Hmm...

Careful Now

Oh sh*t, careful now. I have to rename someone because what I have named him is waaaaaaay too easy to find on Google. So, you will notice that Dance Guy is replacing P__ Guy. Must start working on this!!!

Phone Numbers

What's with guys wanting phone numbers? The ones I want to call haven't called yet, but I am sure the ones I don't want to call will without a doubt call. Yeah, this is all very interesting for someone who rarely answers the phone.

Young Guy wanted my phone number. Why? We are just friends, so isn't an email address sufficient? He is a nice guy, but I why would I want him calling me? Is he secretly trying the "friend" thing in hopes of more? Please, that wouldn't work with me...

I am leaning towards Rocketman. Going to have to see how this one plays out. Don't know if I am supposed to be meeting with him and Dance Guy at some point this weekend.

Pivot

I have been told I make a lovely pivot. What is a pivot? A person / thing that attracts attention when one enters a room / bar/ lobby / etc.

I went to a bar with a friend for a little while last night. Apparently, he got attention like he has never experienced before because I was with him. Hmm, I didn't even notice and I wasn't even dressed up.

Could I somehow generate income off of this? That would be great!! LOL
