Monday. The start of another week. I’m not a big fan of mondays. I opted to go to school a bit earlier today. Hopefully I’d be able to meet a friend there and we could spend some more time chatting. Turns out that wasn’t the case! Before I knew it, it was time to hit the lecture hall. I think I saw stats girl sitting at a nearby table but I couldn’t be sure. For whatever reason, my friend managed to become friends with her.
It’s a long story.
Sociology’s just about the same as I remember it when I took it several years ago. I’m retaking it again to hopefully boost my GPA. I did well on the tests, but I sucked out on the paper. The class felt very bland. I was sitting next to one of those really over-eager first years. Yeah, the one that raises his hand to answer every rhetorical question the prof asks. One of THOSE guys.
Managed to meet up with my friend after. Not only that, this was the first time stats girl and myself were formally introduced. Seems nice. But she’s way out of my league. Anyway, she offered my friend a ride down the side of the mountain. She should’ve taken it. I would not have minded if she took her up on that offer. My friend asked me if I wanted a lift down to Lougheed with her, but I said no. I don’t know why. I’m sure stats girl was being kind and all. I have this weird idea that a person of a higher social class wouldn’t be interested in anyone below them. I know it’s not always the case. She still intimidates me.
All I can say is, I’ll never understand why amazingly beautiful women go out with douchebag guys. Must be one of those things, I guess. Oh well.
Anyway, hung out with my friend on the skytrain back. We were discussing things different book ideas that we’d write. If I weren’t writing about WoW, what else would I write about? Somehow I came up with a fitness book. Figured I’d call it “Lose Fat with Matt”. Wouldn’t that be funny? Too bad it’d never happen.
After the raid was over, I watched the 2 hour season premiere of House. What a great way to open the series. This is going to be an exciting season.
I started cracking open that dating book I got for my birthday. I didn’t feel like doing anything academic for the time being. Comics could wait, too.
So the very first question it asked:
Why do you want to be in a relationship?
It’s not that I don’t want to be in one. It’s been 5 years since my last real one (which ended fairly horribly). I’ve never been able to go back to the attitude and mentality before. But here’s the thing: I’ve got so many commitments right now and not a lot of time. I wouldn’t be able to invest as much time as I’d like into a relationship that deserves it. It wouldn’t be fair to the girl. Yeah, sometimes it sucks when you go out to parties and you’re like the 9th wheel. I try not to let that bother me anymore.
One of the next exercises involved listing every single relationship or crush and outline why it failed or never started. That’s a fairly decent sized list. Excluding Jessica Alba, I probably came up with around 9. In the early part of the twilight hour, I felt very awake. I’ve had a hard time getting any sleep lately. I sleep late at around 1 AM and I frequently get up at 7 AM. Too much on the mind I guess.
I still have to finish revising my article for the new WoW magazine. Need to come up with two post ideas for the wow.com site this week. I’m also working on an analysis of Robert Gates (US Secretary of Defense). He’s been responsible for much of the budget changes in the US military.
Time to play some Professor Layton!
