Yup, not asking her. Saw her around some friends, not my kind of people. Different values.
I learned a little while ago that it's not having superficial stuff in common that makes you compatible. It's having values in common. I had a great deal in common with my last girlfriend, but we constantly clashed because we disagreed over basic values.
I like the truth no...

Sounds like a perfectly wise decision.
Eh. I don't think I'm going to ask her out after all.
Without really thinking about it, I did a little online stalking. I just happened to check the store's webpage and saw that her full name was posted there. I Googled it and found some stuff that's less than optimal. I thought she was about my age, but she's really quite a bit younger....

Sadly, no one is as perfect as you imagine them to be. And neither are you as perfect as they imagine. I don't like myself 100% of the time, how can I expect anyone else to?
As contrived as it sounds, the whole 'Go for it!' and 'Seize the day!' mantras make more sense as time goes on. Unfortunately, for me, they always seem to be in retrospect. I guess once you see that you are alright, it easy to say, 'I wish I had just pulled on my boots and done it!' You might end up with someone special who makes you feel happy (and that doesn't mean forever), you might end up with a good friend, and you might end up having to find a new comic store. That would be bad news in the part of Atlanta I'm in, because I only know of one decent one.
I don't like to tell people how they should feel, but I can say that you are not alone in the 'stalking'. Many, if not all, of us have done it at one time or another. It's like doing your research before buying a new car or a house. What's the neighborhood like, how often does it break down on the side of the road, etc... But for all the research in the world, there's always someone that the house or car will appeal to. There are a few Yugo owners out here, who've never had and trouble.

After seeing the cute girl at the comic store, I felt a sudden need to buy more comics. So I'm visiting about once a week, coincidentally enough on Sunday, when she always seems to be there.
If I'm buying comics, I want to actually read them, so I focus on picking up any stuff by Warren Ellis that I haven't yet read. You may or...

Thank you for your condolences....what you said has been the only thing that has made me feel remotely better about the situation.

Dude, you're pretty rad.
Maybe I shouldn't be so mean.
Sorry, Carlos Mencia. I'm sure someone thinks you're funny. I mean, statistically, it's almost impossible that there isn't at least one out there.
Been really into pen and paper RPGs lately. Still only playing 4th Edition D&D with some friends, but now I find myself constantly wanting to try out the different classes. I desperately want to play a...

Shut up, Carlos Mencia.
You aren't funny.
You aren't funny.
Regarding methods to approach a stranger (for purposes either romantic or carnal, or both), a friend of mine told me his uncle's strategy.
Guys at bars often send women drinks. Don't waste your time or money, they get that all the time. Instead, you send them a tuna melt.
That's it.
It did work with my friend's aunt.
It won't help me because I'm not...

I would point out that we tend to regard strange men bringing us food in a bar as a dubious proposition.
Food gifts really work on me[1]. I think they're just the right level of effort; more than enough for to make someone feel special, and not nearly enough to risk being overbearing.
Also, I like to eat. It's a popular position. Good luck with it!

First broken bone that requires a cast and crutches. I've broken toes and fingers before, but that's it.
I realized recently that I have no idea how to ask out a stranger. I never had to practice in college because I started dating a girl in my first semester and that lasted until a year or two after graduation. I sort of knew her through another girl I'd dated before, back in high school, so starting conversation wasn't very hard. "Hey, I know...

'Cunt' doesn't hurt my feelings. Do boys get upset when they're called dicks? 
My new computer's spellcheck is out of control.
For one, it just told me spellcheck isn't a word. If spellchecker is a word, spellcheck is a word.
But before that, it tried to tell me that "doesn't" isn't a word.
Yeah. Doesn't.
I wonder if they just threw in a couple dozen words from the dictionary and left it to me to add the rest.

It just gave me that "doesn't" bullshit too.
Do you use Firefox? The new firefox is being a bitch about spellcheck lately.

It's the new edition of firefox. It's giving me hell too. I just typed "spellcheck" and it isn't a word but "spellchecker" is.
Bizarre.
I've been journaling to her since before she was born. I have mountains of pages for her to keep, and I might include the blog in that too. I just don't know what to think about it all. I don't know what to tell her in letters. She's only 16mos old right now so she's definitely too young to know what's going on.
Thank you for your comment.

An unavoidable side-effect of atheism is lack of belief in an afterlife. There exists no scientific reason to believe that any shred of self-awareness or thought remains of us after death. This is what scares so many people away from atheism. They don't want to die. Not for real.
I don't exactly want to die either, but I no longer fear my own death. I...

heh...I turned when my aunt was denied baptism because she is "living in sin "with my uncle. (they aren't married but I call her my aunt anyway. she may as well be..been round for 14+ years now..) Only thing is, she was in a bad car accident in 2000 and now has the mind of a 12 year old girl and has seizures daily. ( with one a week or so being of the Gran maul type. ) not sure if i spelled that right. AND THEY ARE GOING TO JUDGE HER???? SHE CANNOT LIVE ALONE...wtf eva. is what I said. I'll stick to my sage burnin, herbal healin shamanistic ways of my ancestors, thanks. Spiritual but no god crap in there.
light_bringer:
I've enjoyed your blog here. The concept of an afterlife is something that I struggle with as well sometimes. The curious part of me wants to know what's next, if anything at all.
Mom's birthday tomorrow. For some reason she really enjoys getting burned CDs, so that's what I did for her. She can't figure out how to do it herself, so she still views them as something with value. It's just as well, I don't have a lot of money lately because of all the ridiculous expenses coming my way over the Summer.

His name is Justin, but it's from about 10 years before the name became popular, so he is in the same boat as you as far as names go. I'm Katherine. And I can't even tell you how many Kathy, Katie, Kitty, Kate, and/or Kat's were in my classes all growing up. Most of my generation shortened to Katie, so my Kathy was a bit different, but I don't want to do anything common because of that. I don't want her to go through that same shit. Although the names I like (and have always liked) are coming back into vogue, like Violet. And I don't want an "in vogue" name either :S
I've been an introvert all my life, but around 2004 I suddenly developed the ability to fake it. I don't really care for small talk socializing, but at least being able to fake it made the whole process simpler and faster.
Without any reason that I can discern, I lost that ability recently. I'm finding it harder and harder to dodge awkward moments when I'm...

I'm a very extroverted introvert, if that makes sense. I'm very social but I'm most comfortable in around only two or three close friends or by myself.

I'm so introverted, I don't even like talking to myself.
