Today was a day of small nice things

[vicarz]

So. I got my good performance rating. I didn't really think about it, liked it obviously but didn't think until I was headed home that I really didn't expect it. I also realized it means bonus money - that's not a bad thing.

Then I went to the gym, and picked up my old weight for the first time since I snapped my damn neck. I lifted it 6 times - not what I used to do but a ballpark figure! Happy! I had a pretty decent workout, was happy. Came home, ate a ton o' nachos and was more happy. Gym. Nachos. Happy.

I reiterate: happy posts suck.

I got COERCED into going to Alch - and had fun! The music didn't suck, and the crowd ranged from cool to visually entertaining. I had this one odd flash though - I really hadn't decided to go out until Tracy pushed my last button saying I should celebrate my work thingy. I walked into the club, and for some reason I thought about the underground club scene in Bad Influence. I found it funny that my boring government job event celebration was the 'wild club.' Neato. I really had fun, but much to my surprise they kept playing good songs (except for a nice long relaxing break of synthpop crap). I actually had to leave because I kept dancing, and I'm pushing the limits of my shin-splints already so it hurts like fuck and I know it will hurt more once it sets in. Sigh.

How to pick up a girl
1. Don't go out even thinking of picking up a girl
2. Have some girl notice you and go "Hmm."
3. Turn out to be a friend of the girl's friend.
4. Be nice, but not terribly interested in the girl.
5. Do something showy, like hug 10 friends or dance.
6. Ignore the attempts to hug or dance with you by the girl.
7. Right when she thinks you have no interest whatsoever, do something in passing like a light touch on the elbow or shoulder
8. Ignore them entirely after that.
This should lead to an infatuation that could last 6 months to 5 years. Yes kids, it's that easy. I'm not sure if this trick works unless you do it by accident when you in fact lack interest.

hahhahahah isn't that the truth... i think it works for both sexes though. *wry smile*

yes. Nothing gets me going as much as someone who gives a little interest then ignores the hell out of me.

Its sad :(

No question - it works on me too, only my apathy is getting larger with experience. It would be SO COOL if it wasn't real :(

Glad you had fun last night, but I am sorry we were interrupted. Damn good music kept getting in the way of any decent conversations. Grats on the great review, and hopefully we can someday actually talk outside of a club...

I thought I saw you last night but you must have left before I could say hi.

[vicar.livejournal.com]

Damn!

[desiringmachine.livejournal.com]

Either that or you were purposefully avoiding me so that I will develop a horrid school-girl crush on you :p

[vicar.livejournal.com]

Remind me not to publish my favorite strategies for garnering attention on the internet!

Hah!

[desiringmachine.livejournal.com]

I am now immune to your charms!

[cweaselle.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you went out and celebrated. I wish I had been there, I like when they play dance music and I haven't really felt like dancing to any of the stuff that gets played. Although, you haven't taken me to Alchemy.

Remind me of your 8 rules to pick someone up in 6 months. By then I might need them. In the meantime there needs to be alot more eye candy when I go out. ;p

You don't need rules - you're a girl. You dont' need to do picking, you just ahve to figure out how to scare off the trash and attract...well fuck that, that means accepting gender roles. You would have an easier time picking people up than I would though, based on gender. Hey, you picked me up...I think...

[cweaselle.livejournal.com]

No, you picked me up. I was *alot* less confident then.

And if you recall, I'm too geeky, all of your friends tried to escape talking to us. It's a good thing that I'm not interested in dating yet or I'd be disheartened.

[vicar.livejournal.com]

Disheartened? I'm sought after, and had tried to pick you up, and you...egads woman!

[cweaselle.livejournal.com]

You "tried" to pick me up 5 years ago. I was young and attractive then. Now I'm a geeky old crone. (Oh, and I don't think never calling me counts as trying to pick me up)

[vicar.livejournal.com]

You sure get a lot of attention for a geeky old crone.

Never calling? Ha! It was YOU who was doing the not calling. I was just the coy bitch who didn't want your number...hmm...

[cweaselle.livejournal.com]

I only get attention from my *2* friends.

We aren't going to go over the same arguement. You had *my* phone number and could have called me just as well as I could have called you. I really did lose yours...what's your excuse? ;p

[vicar.livejournal.com]

I'm just too pretty to call first.
Don't hate me because I'm bee-you-tee-full!

I love this argument. It's more like a dance we do - we know the moves and yet we never get tired of it. Spin!

[cweaselle.livejournal.com]

It's ok. We have a great friendship now and that's more than I can say for who I ended up dating. I think that it's better this way. Now, off to the Duff Brewery...I mean to the office.

You! You did this to me! Avoid not the blame I heap upon thee!
