Damn, he's angry.

I'm on a downward spiral at the moment, it seems. I'm two steps away from going to B&N and filling out a job application. But I'm probably just gonna read in bed for a few more hours.

This is just so beautifully ridiculous: Mr. Rogers Was Gay!

Working at B&N supposedly rocks, according to a friend that worked at the downtown one a couple years ago. He mostly read books all day, tried to look busy, and met lots of cool people (read: girls). He also said the job was pretty cake for what they were paying him. This was back in late 2000/early 2001, and he was a bit younger than us, like 21.

I always thought that the bookstore would be a good place to pick up a groovy smart guy. You don't have to tal as quietly in them, nor do you have to be as polite (aka avoiding eye contact and ignoring every member of your species for fear you might bother or disturb them.

But alas, the b0okstore b0yz never look up, ever...and notice that a cute chick is checking them out. Dumb bookworms. This is a universal problem that I have come up against with every cute guy I've tried to check out at a bookstore. Bookstores/libraries are the finest things ever created, so of course ONE DAY I have to at least get to make out with a guy I picked up in one

Dumb bookworm intellectuals preoccupied with feeding their damn heads!

Id work part-time in a bookstore, mayhaps, to augment my income. I spend a lot of time in them anyway, cuz its cheaper to just pay a visit a few times a fortnight to read your periodicals and the thinner books than paying $3.50 a week for Time. (Which I did for several months, as much as it disgusts me now to admit it. Newsweek too.)

Women always expect men to make the first move, but if a guy does so and he was mistaken about the woman being interested then it's "harassment". Meanwhile, if a girl tries to pick up a guy, the worst she'll have to worry about is rejection. It's so easy for women to get away with this stuff, but they'll never try it.

If he isn't looking up, maybe he's noticed but written it off as a bad idea to pursue unless some kind of really obvious opening comes up beyond a coy look. Maybe he actually hasn't noticed, and you should just do something to get his attention . . . like say "May I help you?" if you're an employee of the bookstore, or "Excuse me," if you're a fellow customer and he's standing in front of something interesting -- then you can give him a brilliant smile and notice the title of whatever he has in his hands.

Don't just be a girl. Be a girl that knows what she likes and isn't afraid of that fact. You probably have no idea how sexy that is.

That's just a bit of friendly advice, from a "dumb bookworm".

There's only so much bullshit I can take. I made it through 8 paragraphs or so.

Haha. I *have* to make the first move. I am less comfortable with guys making the first move for some reason, even if I find them attractive. Which ends up being a problem since I am usually a wussy when it comes to anything beyond staring.

I am definitely a girl who knows exactly what she wants, no problem there. And I am a bookworm too, ;-). The "dumb" was directed towards the ones who are oblivious to my desire to run up and press my bosoms all over them.

I actually am sort of a "dumb bookworm," though, sometimes.

1. I often can't tell who's interested and who isn't, because the interested ones are all trying to play it off as though they're not. I'm oblivious.
2. I almost never am willing to even contemplate making the first move any longer. It's my experience that it never works. I just wait for 'em to come to me. Since I've been playing hermit lately, and not going out in public, that means none of 'em have been coming to me, though. I'm okay with this, actually.

So, yeah. There you have it. I'm not only oblivious, but more interested in planning for my upcoming vacation, catching up on some reading, and playing with my computer, these days; people have just kinda worn out their welcome with me.

I'm right there with ya brotha.

That probably means I should put some clothes on.
