stuff my parents don't want to know about

Ok, so you know how you're supposed to let your roommates know where you're going and don't let strangers give you rides home, and don't let people you meet on the Internet know where you live, etc.? My only excuse is that it was raining heavily and the buses stop running around 10:30...jackass.

I've figured out a few reasons why i like geeks: (reminds me somewhat of what TA said about living in the Computer Science house).
a) Geeks are safe. Most of the time, they're not at wild drunken parties with girls Jello wrestling (not that they don't drink, but when they do, it's not like frat boys for the most part). They're sitting at home playing computer games. Or reading comic books.
b) Geeks make for good conversations, because they read/watch interesting stuff. The downside of this is that sometimes it's hard to get them to shut up about their favourite topics and get a word in...
c) Geeks tend to be shy, which gives you the advantage of confidence if you're not the most scintillating conversationalist on earth.

Disadvantages:
a) See caveat to (b) above.
b) Geeks can also be kinda hard up, due to (c) above.

Least scintillating and most revealing conversation of the night (this was in the Karaoke Kid bar):
E: I'm not very good at this sort of thing.
me: What, karaoke? (he sang "It's the End of the World As We Know It" quite well earlier)
E: No, the boy-girl thing.

[and I'm thinking, and WTH do I look like, the campus bicycle? *roll roll eyes*]

Oh yeah and JH? Next time a boy you barely know asks if he can give you a goodnight kiss, say "Sure" and turn your face sideways. Ok, not that that worked quite as well as I thought it would, either...

So yeah, I'm trying out the casual dating thing...i have become THE WHORE OF BABYLON!!!

On the other hand, the idea of befriending someone just because you're bored and he's hard up is quite repugnant, so either we're going to be friends based on a common liking for movies and comic books, or it's not going to go anywhere. Men complain about women overanalyzing things, yah?
