It's so ridiculous I thought for a second to scream in anger at the world. Then I thought about it in the context of my school and it made more sense. Still, it pisses me off. Here's what I'm talking about.
So I'm stalking people on FaceBook, right? Well, I'm really just checking out people in my degree to see if we have any common interests. That way I can go up to them and start a conversation about something I already know they like and make it a little easier. Call that cheating but it has worked for me before. It could work for you!
I'm browsing through the Engineering Physicists at ERAU. I get to this girl...let's call her "Amy". I think, "Hey a girl. Let's check out her profile." So I do. There's no picture posted so I have to decide if she's any good by her profile. At a glance I see she likes Space and Astronomy and Physics and Psychology and Bass Guitar and Beethoven and Led Zeppelin...hell, she even spelled "Led Zeppelin" correctly. I like all of those things too! She sounds promising already! I read her profile a little more thoroughly. I see she's also interested in Masochism and WOMEN.
DAMNIT!
Just when I think I may have met a girl with similar interests she turns out to be a Dominatrix Lesbian.
Which on second thought doesn't quite sound soooo bad. ^_^
But still, COME ON! Can't I have a fair chance? Like maybe with a girl that wants PENIS? That is something I can provide.
I've decided that I pretty much dislike most people at this school. They're just NOT my "kind of people". There aren't enough students at this school to provide me with the odds to meet a compatible human being. They all just suck.
Anyway, first week of class went alright. 14 days after my surgery and I finally feel better. I had a piece of chewing gum today and chewed it unhindered. I masticated this Orbit Gum with fervor. I chewed with gusto. Then I had steak for dinner. I'm glad I can finally go through an entire day without having to take pain medication. It was Bringing me DOWN man.
This weekend we learned that drunken poker is most excellent to play. Next weekend we will add more alcohol to the poker, PLUS a special showing of the SkiniMax film, SpiderBabe.
The shenanigans that go on in our dorm room are great. We have jabinero pepper eating contests, shoot each other with air-powered pellet guns, have "desk chair bumper car" fights, and all sorts of other wacky things.
And still I kinda want more. Like some genuine friends, not the kind you just goof-off with. I can't find those kind of people here.
Tonight when I was driving back from Orlando I was taking the SR-417 to the I-4. There is a ridiculous TWO DOLLAR toll ($ 2.00) that I have to pay. I turned down the Black Sabbath and rolled down the window. The toll lady smiled at me as I handed her the 2 dollar bills. She complimented me for having such "gorgeous hair" and told me how lucky I was to have such "beautiful natural curls". It was late at night and there wasn't traffic so we chatted for a few minutes. It was nice to have such an amiable conversation with a stranger in the middle of my dark drive. It made me smile for the next mile.
I start my job tomorrow working in the Physics Tutor lab from 1500-1800 hrs.
I hope to tutor obscenely HOT engineering chicks ..... and not dim-witted arrogant male pilots.
But I know that won't happen.
