The Envy of Men

[ivellious]

I feel both really good and really bad today. Why? I'm not so sure

Dude, you do realise now that we are all going to be clamoring for a photograph of this vamped up you, right?

No girl is interested in hanging out with a guy who, when asked "So what have you been up to?", responds with "Reading up on the astonishing history of the Anglo-Saxons. Say, did you know our language is based off theirs? Fascinating..." And at the same time, no guy is interested in hanging out with a guy who wears concealer when his cheeks get windburned. I think that for potential friends of both genders, my persuits are viewed as somewhat arcane.

All I can say it, you're chasing the wrong girls, sorry man. And also, I have a lot of respect for you re: the whole concealer thing. I mean, I don't think anybody should have to use it, but it's a part of our fucked up superficial cultures that just ain't going to go away anytime soon, so, if you can't fight it, embrace it?
It's nice to hear a guy actually give a damn though, and you sound (forgive the word) fussy, without being vain and pedantic, cheers!

[ivellious]

Well, I am rather pedantic :P But I'm certainly not vain (as much as I claim to be), people are always telling me I'm far too humble - problematically so.

All I can say is, you're chasing the wrong girls, sorry man.

Aye, there's the rub... which, exactly, are the kind I should be going after? That I can never figure out.

[amarena]

See, I think this is maybe the problem... we all think we have a 'type' of person - we subconciously (or not) lump people into categories that, by all rights, they probably don't belong in. I mean, it's natural to do a bit of stereotyping, and impossible not to, but we rarely look at individuals, rather we look at what we think they are...
I don't know if I'm making much sense.

[ivellious]

No, no, you're making perfect sense. The human mind categorizes everything, its part of how we "file" stuff, so to speak. The problem is that no one fits into a single category perfectly. As much as I try to fight against it, I still do it: When I see people skateboarding in an alley behind my house... I tend to avoid them, etc. I just happen to have a hard time getting people to show me things about themselves that aren't stereotype, you know?

I'd hang out with you. We used to hang out when we all went to Moorpark and it was fun. You can come over whenever or we could hang out elsewhere...as long as we don't have to play that terrible terrible game that you and Kevin G. kept whooping at.

[loosedbow]

And by Kevin G. I clearly meant Kevin C. Go me.

[lirial_baenre]

what game is that?

[ivellious]

I honestly can't imagine what game that might be... Warhammer? I don't think we ever tried to sell you on that. Hmm...

And I was going to to go to the Eragon mignight showing with you guys, but I got totally ditched!

[lirial_baenre]

I would say a bigger city may help though it depends on where... LA probably not the best place... San Jose, Austin, Seattle, I'm sure I could come up with a few others would be much better then LA or SD...

[ivellious]

Europe? lol, that's where I need to go. Right smack in the middle of Nottingham.

[lirial_baenre]

that might work :P though i don't know why you would want to move to Nottingham... I have only heard dismal things...

[t3ckn0_fr34k]

Ya, where you'll fit in even less due to cultural differences ; P

[the_dutchess]

arsin is the tatoo guy right? (or how ever you spell it) i saw him at a party last year. i believe is words were this "DRINK OR IT GETS POURED ON YA!" and "DRINK FOR SATAN!"
ha- he was pretty drunk

[ivellious]

Ha, I dunno... he was with Travis, so if he's someone Travis would hang with then yes.

[t3ckn0_fr34k]

Go to Texas State and your problems are solved.

[ivellious]

Wha- how?
