re: (galactiboy's Cantina) "Where everybody knows your name..."
For the first time at the Asian supermarket I saw an Asian dude taller than me! Abomination, I say. A bomination!!
I love the Asian supermarket out here, Mitsuwa. They have a lot of my favorite foods, but they stopped selling the sun-dried, flattened squids. Gotta find a place that sells those. I do hate all the wannabe white kids that dress like they're Japanese anime characters and hang out there, though. Damn gaijin.
I think she needs some suspenders.
oh man, i'm sorry ben. but maybe you guys have other things i common. what about big bang theory? I find that everyone loves that, nerd or not.
Her favorite show is Say Yes to the Dress.
She's never seen Alien, Predator, Terminator or Avengers. She's seen parts of Jurassic Park, but not the whole thing.
Not sure but I have learned this to kill the deal for me. So much of my love evolves around the pop culture and nerd world, I would never enter into a relationship that starts like that.
It's too much to overcome.
I also find that my friends that are both geeks at heart are so happy it's insane. I am super jealous of them. I would rather you find yourself a hot geek girl than just some hot girl.
Her favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption. I can get behind that. She's a true girly girl and I can understand that.
She actually said that she thinks it's awesome that Star Wars and my other favorite geeky things make me happy, but she just doesn't think she'll be into Star Wars and stuff. She wants to go to see Godzilla with me, so that's pretty cool. She really is a very sweet girl.
Got MOS last week for 13 bucks at Target as well as The Wolverine from Avfin for my SS gift... I'm half way through Wolverine and have yet to open Superman.
I thought you weren't a fan of Man of Steel, Rich. You giving it another chance?
Big Bang Theory isn't really realistic.
I gave up on looking. The speed dating thing at CVI really sucked. Perhaps I'll do it at C2E2 since the girls will be more local. But it really really sucked at CVI. I don't remember if I told you guys about this. There was ONE girl who I really hit it off with. She was fantastic, and she was from SE WI (Racine or Kenosha, I forget which). After the speed dating, I waited around for her (which you are not supposed to do). After she exited, she went straight up to a dude, and they kissed. He was NOT in the speed dating. He was waiting for her. She already had a boyfriend! I think she was paid to be there! There were a few girls who walked in after the session had started, and she was one of them. I think they went out and rounded a few girls up and paid them.
I also shy away from online dating sites, because of a bad experience I had when it first started. I only tried it once. I was thin, and had a full head of hair back then. I picked the girl up at her house. She was standing outside, talking on the phone. She gave me the "one second" finger, went in her house, grabbed her jacket, and we were off. We were doing "dinner and a movie", which I no longer like to do after this experience. We get to the theater, and I pay for both of us. I buy us snacks. We get our seats. She says she's going to run to the bathroom and will be right back. SHE NEVER RETURNED! She must have given a signal to her friend on the phone to pick her up at the theater. Instead of coming up with an excuse to cancel the date, she leads me on, I pay for both tickets and lots of food, only to get the shaft. That was my last online dating experience. Perhaps it has improved in the last 10 years, but I'll never forget that one terrible experience.
I agree. Big Bang Theory is pretty entertaining, but those guys are all nerd stereotypes. I'm also bummed they wrote out Kate Micucci.
Sorry to hear about your bad experiences, Kenben. I'm no stranger to that kind of bullcrap, so I know how much it sucks. There are nice women out there still, though.
A slight detour...
anyone in the need for the Batman PF Exclusive?
I'm about to call and cancel in 5min.
If someone needs it, let me know.
Just have to pay what I paid + shipping to your door (FedEx Ground/Home delivery...probably $25-35?!?).
I want this really badly Aaron, but I can't go down that path. If I get any DC pf, it'd have to be Harley Quinn and that'd be it for me.
Nope. So the Regular version comes with a brown jacket and one head. The EXs come with an additional head and we can choose between blue and brown jackets... kinda crappy as I would have liked both. I'm going blue and trying to snag a brown on TA.
That's a bummer. Especially since I want the brown jacket, but I'd like to have both heads.
C2E2 gonna
It should be pretty awesome. Hopefully, I don't skip out and avoid all the freaks again.
