That’s the nicer thing to do. That’s what I would do.
Mon Feb 13, 2006 20:22 (UTC -5)Yesterday I went to a surprise birthday party for Megan. Michelle had the party at her house. Megan didn’t really seem surprised, but it was fun anyway. Man, Michelle has a cool house. At least a dozen pinball machines, a pool table, and several jukeboxes are the makings of a cool house. And I didn’t even see the garage.
Alas, I thought I was done with this storyline, but somehow we got onto the subject how I got turned down by a girl I’ve pretty much always liked; she says she’s “talking to” someone else. Michelle’s boyfriend Aaron seemed really interested in my situation. (That Aaron, he’s a cool guy. We got along like old friends, kind of, although he’s probably going to think I’m weird for saying it.) He, Michelle, and Luke recommended that I do something about her instead of just sitting there and taking the rejection. Some of options they discussed included:
- Calling her a bitch. Whether yelling (or even strong words) would be required wasn’t made clear. I wouldn’t do it anyway.
- Playing the “other chick” card. In theory, if she can say she’s interested in another guy, I can claim I’m interested in another girl. But in practice, I can’t lie about something like that.
- Playing the guitar and singing at her window. That would be an excellent way for me to make a massive fool of myself among everyone I know.
- Stealing her away. I think that’s what Aaron said he did to Michelle, and they’ve been together for how long? One or two years?
Of those options, I would be most likely to carry out the fourth if I knew how. Maybe “stealing” her isn’t the best terminology, but you all understand. The fact of the matter is that I never act; I’m used to getting stomped on all the time. Can anyone offer some tips on making her fall for me in spite of the fact that she doesn’t seem to want to? Michelle? Sean? Luke? Aaron? Darkerday? Anyone else? Please leave a comment and help me out.
In other news, I got the results of my iFlurtz questionnaire today. Instead of feeling enlightened as to which girls are supposedly the best for me, I felt like I got ripped off. (Needless to say, the aforementioned girl wasn’t among the results.) Here’s where I mention how tests can’t really tell you anything important. More entertaining was the fact that they seem to have very recently changed their name to “eFlurtz” now that Apple Computer has trademarked the letter “i.” Somebody better tell the square root of -1 to watch out.
Here’s a planning page for Firefox 2.0. Be sure to check out the weekly status meeting notes. It’s interesting to see a discussion of cool new features that they’re planning on adding.
The village of Baarle is one of Europe’s most perplexing territorial anomalies. Basically, it’s a village in the Netherlands, and part of the village consists Belgian enclaves inside the Netherlands, and inside some of the Belgian enclaves are Dutch enclaves. Whew! (See also: a photo gallery of the town.)

I suggested what? I was mostly surprised that you were not familiar with the “other chick card.”

Now, I don’t know you, the girl, or anyone you know, and you don’t know me or anyone I know. I may sound weird giving you advice, but I’m one of those strange people who meddle with the lives of people I don’t know. Now, this may be embarresing to even think of, but have you considered showing The Girl this blog? It would show that you really have feelings for her. Sorry I said that, but that’s my suggestion.

You know, Peter, that might be a good idea.

Dude, you need tot tottally play the other chik card with some one 10 times hotter! (LIKE ME!!!….J/K) Then when you mention how unhappy you are in the relationship in this blog which she won’t see then she’ll try to steal you away and when she does she’ll be all ego high because she got you from a hoter girl who obviously saw the world in you :) (you might have to delet this post but first print it out and put it in your scrap book!)

I see a few flaws in your argument.
1. No one is 10 times hotter than She. Not even 1.5 times hotter.
2. Even if there was, how would I get her to play along?
3. She just wouldn’t try to steal me away like that, I’m sure. She’d probably continue going with the guy she’s going with now, whoever that is. (Or is she playing the other dude card?)

Dude, man, fuckin’…brah, you absolutely need to steal her away. Percistance is key in this situation. In all seriousness, something like “You know how i feel about you, and i think that i would be 100x better to and for you than the guy you’re with” would work wonders if accompanied by other really sweet, confident shit. If that doesn’t work then cut off her feet. That always works.

Feet are for losers… unless they’re 100x hotter…
