More Comfort That I'm Probably Not Gay #1

Okay, unfortunately this came from 'rightwingnews.com' (I SWEAR that I was here b/c of a google search...I'm too young to be right-wing!) So, this is part 1 of 3 lists that I thought were interesting. I'm sorry for making you read this...you probably won't anyway.....but if you did you may discover that (I hate bragging) these things kind of 'fit' me....

How to land and keep the elusive geekfish

1) Make the first move. You'll die of boredom otherwise.

2) If they ask you out, they mean it. Oh, and don't be surprised if they know quite a few things about you already, like your favorite color, your class schedule, or your computer specifications.

3) You are correct. You do not exist when they are playing a game online.

4) Don't EVER accuse them of cheating on you.

5) They're easily embarrassed.

6) If you want some fun ::wink, wink::, kick their little behinds at their favorite video game.

7) Expect to know two versions of the person: The debonair online personality, and the social klutz of real life.

8) Computer programs can be sexy.

9) Encourage them to take care of themselves. That's right, make a big deal about how bad their room smells.

10) Pretend to understand when they go off about computer terms. The best way is to nod at key points, and glaze over. Don't tell them that you don't understand, because they will spend days, months, years, or eons trying to explain it to you.

11) Give them food. They are just like small animals, they keep coming back for food.

12) If they tune you out, or become glued to their monitors, it is perfectly acceptable to style their hair in weird and unusual ways. This includes, but is not limited to: flock of seagulls, braiding, and mowhawks.

13) Watch carefully for humor. From the socially inept, humor is usually so dry and delivered with so much sincerity, that it is virtually indistinguishable from when they are stating fact. Be careful though, you risk offending them when they were serious.

14) If they don't show up on time, they're either dead, or some new game/program came out, and they need to beat it before their friends. Assume the latter until proven otherwise.

15) Know the release dates of most major hardware and software releases. Avoid them when planning dates.

OK......so look for the next one tomorrow...
