Belated New Year

I once said that I would try to blog more.  So much for that.

But it has been a while since I updated, so let me give you the rundown...

1. I lost my job the weekend of Another Anime Convention.
2. My girlfriend dumped me a week before Valentine's Day.
3. I am back in college.

First topic: I took a sick day and emailed that I wasn't going to be there. I get a call from the agency about my whereabouts. I send another e-mail, forget to send a copy to the agency.  Around 4:30 that afternoon, they drop the ball on me.  So fuck MDRC.  I knew you guys were going to ax me when the contacts list was updated with the new temp, with him having an official title and me as still a temp.  Fuck you guys.

Second topic: That will be for a separate blog post because there's a lot to talk about.  I will say this, I feel guilty as a manwhore for dating other women and not telling them of my status.  I had legit reason, but it still doesn't feel right.

Third topic: After being fired and doing another temp job, my unemployment is enough for me to live off of comfortably for a while.  So I figured that instead of job hunting, let me go back to school and finish up and get my degree, that way my job hunting will go a lot better.

That's it for now, peace!

Geeks and Dating

Today I'll be talking about two things.  TLC's Geek Love and the Kotaku article, Nerds and Male privilege (which originated from here).

Geek Love-

Yes, I watched it.  Not just because I was on there, I wanted to see how it turned out.  It wasn't as much of a train wreck as I thought it was.  What you saw was no edits whatsoever.  Also what you didn't know is that in the Sunday session I was in, about half those girls I speed dated with were in the Saturday night session as well. 

Did I get a contact? Yes.

I was expecting more contacts, but I realized something yet again. I am not eye candy to most geek girls.  Yes I made them laugh and I got along so well with them.  But if I have the personality, but not the looks (I know I'm not an eye catch, but I am handsome), I will not be walking away with those digits/facebook/email, etc...  This is something I figured out a long time ago. I don't like it, but I've accepted it for what it is.  I understand when we all look for that someone, we have various expectations.  But be serious with yourself, you're not going to find that 100%.  You find something very close and when you give it a shot, that person may just turn into that 100%.  Looks don't mean a thing if the person can't carry a conversation. ^_~

And I speed dated with Anna, the Star Wars fangirl. She gave me the stink eye when I said that I was not into Star Wars...

Nerds and Male Privilege-

I back this article 100%.  I thought I had more to say about it, but I really don't. I reread it, fully understanding it a lot more.  I really don't see myself as having the male privilege, because I tend to think of myself as the average geek, but it is what it is.
