I just moved the first half of my stuff into my dorm. I'm getting ready for a new school year, starting tomorrow. They always have a big comedy show the night before classes start, and I'm going tomorrow night. Last year, some interesting stuff happened during that show, but it was fleeting. It's all documented in one of my poems. I call that night, 8/24/03, "The Day I Tried To Live". This year, I'm trying again. My goal is to make some friends, ideally, a female "friend". This year, I've decided to go without my glasses. From now on, I'm only wearing them for classes and driving. I see well enough without them, I look cooler without them, and they won't get scratched if I'm not wearing them. There's another bonus, a very important one. One of my biggest problems with talking to girls is intentionally avoiding direct eye contact because of its implications. Without my glasses, I can't see their gaze clearly enough for it to crumble me. This just might work. The irony: I might have to blind myself a little so I don't have to touch myself.
Not that I have any intentions of "getting anywhere"; I'm just playing on a proverb.
right... good for you and your plans I started my second semester at tech so it shouldn't be as hard but my problem with girls is different then yours mine was pure stupidness and nothing else so don't ask anymore
The impending school year. Errg. Thank God I found a job soon enough to about break even for the semester tuition fees.
By the by, what the blazes is the title to this thread mean? Part of that poetry?
Oh, and I'd suggest contact lenses for this appearance problem you think you have.

"An Unkind" by Soundgarden. Ben, the bassist, wrote those lyrics. If you don't own "Down On The Upside", you're missing out on the greatest grunge album of all time (personal opinion).

After a test run, it's safe to say that I can't see perfectly clearly without my glasses, and I already knew that. However, I kind of like this slightly blurry vision. I don't drink, so this is as close as I'll come to being drunk, without the lost brain cells, puking, or impaired judgment. Like I said, blurrifying my vision will help me for everything that doesn't require perfect vision. My natural eyesight will get stronger, but I'm more interested in the other thing. It kind of worked at the comedy show tonight. The girl sitting in front of me turned to me, and I think she smiled at me. Because I couldn't see her eyes perfectly, I was able to just look towards them and return with a nod and smile. With my glasses on, I couldn't have looked at her straight like that (hence the lyrics). I wrote a poem, a response, to B.E.T.'s Hip Hop Comedy Show. I'll post it in the Author's Domain.

I thought as much
well, contacts aren't really the best thing...my sister wore contacts for about a month, and she didn't take GOOD care of them, and long story short, she's really lucky she can still see...but if you do take care of them, i think they are pretty good, but you said you don't want to wear them , so right now i'm just babbling on about nothing, arent i?
as for meeting girls, just say 'hi' to them, they usuly respond, and don't try stupid pick up lines, trust me they HATE thoes(i have close to 10 friends who are girls, and they all say they would kill someone if they tried to use a stupid pick up line on them)

I've said "Hey" a few times, only when I've caught girls looking at me for an extended period of time. I've never said "Hi", (I like hey better, grunge/punk thing), but I don't think that should make a difference. My problem is what to say next. Perhaps it's because I try to take the girl's perspective too much, and I'm a very cynical girl. As a girl, if a guy starts a conversation with me, I'm thinking it's all a ploy for you-know-what. Alright, let me get out of girl mode. By the way, I can do that with pretty much anybody. I call it my Atticus Finch technique. Unfortunately, I've been around some real assholes, and I've felt their awful motives. Before I waste anymore of these poetic words here, since some people don't like going to the Author's Domain, I'll bring my poem about the show here. It's personal and non-Digimon, so I think that's still okay.
[b]When I Go
hey I replyed there hmm "To Kill a Mockingbird" right?
Quote:"To Kill a Mockingbird" right?
Yep, the most quoted line from the book.
Okay, good news and bad news on the girl front. I live in a co-ed dorm, and three girls from the room across the hall just toured my room, (and I checked out theirs). I think they probably noticed my Digimon Frontier wallpaper on my computer, although they didn't say anything. Let's hope they didn't notice the minimized "Digiartist's Dom" at the bottom of my screen. Not that I'm ashamed of this interest, but I'd hate to have to explain it. If they saw the wallpaper, it might get me pity points. They told me I could charge them to come in and use my air conditioner. I wouldn't charge, but maybe they were implying that they wanted more than air conditioning. That's probably what they were expecting me to say, "Oh, I won't charge, come in whenever you want." I was looking particularly cute in my new school clothes, but at the same time, I think my awkwardness, the practicality of my room, and my scientific talk, made it pretty obvious that I'm a virgin. That's where the pity points come in. Here's another Fincher: Both guys and girls have no extra desire to pop fat or ugly virgins, but when they see someone cute and innocent, they want to take advantage of her/him. It won't come to that, because nobody takes advantage of me. I'll be a sucker who gives too much, but I won't get screwed over.
well, when talking to a girl try to notice things about her(aside from her brests), if shes wearing a shirt that says 'i love nirvana' try talking about nirvana or music or something, or if she's holding something try to start a convo on that...it's not too hard if you are good at observation...
