The Randsinrepose blog has a GREAT post about how the nerdular mind works. Rather than try to reiterate everything that has been perfected, I’ll just link! :)

A nerd needs a project because a nerd builds stuff. All the time. Those lulls in the conversation over dinner? That’s the nerd working on his project in his head.

It’s unlikely that this project is a nerd’s day job because his opinion regarding his job is, “Been there, done that”. We’ll explore the consequences of this seemingly short attention span in a bit, but for now this project is the other big thing your nerd is building and I’ve no idea what is, but you should.

At some point, you, the nerd’s companion, were the project. You were showered with the fire hose of attention because you were the bright and shiny new development in your nerd’s life. There is also a chance that you’re lucky and you are currently your nerd’s project. Congrats. Don’t get too comfortable because he’ll move on, and, when that happens, you’ll be wondering what happened to all the attention. This handbook might help.

Regarding gender: for this piece, my prototypical nerd is a he as a convenience. There are plenty of she nerds out there for which these observations equally apply.

It’s been a hell of a month since my last post. Mostly good helluva month I should point that out. Here we go…

On the girlfriend forefront, I can officially say that Justine makes me happier than I’ve ever been in my life. Sure she’s not the skinniest or “hottest” girl I’ve ever dated, but in my eyes, she’s drop dead beautiful, and I can say that I love her and mean it. She keeps me level headed, she talks to me, and knows what to say. We have a creepy parallel thinking on just about everything, and by that I mean, we literally blurt out the same thing at the same time after one of us finishes talking. It’s really odd. The mental, physical, and soulful connection of this relationship is mind boggling. Sometimes I really just want to cry because of everything. Cry in a good way. I feel I may finally have my family. She loves me, and for the first time in my life I can actually FEEL it.

Justine met Zie a couple of weeks ago. She really likes her, which is a huge relief. I know it’s a little weird, who knows how somebody will react to an offspring when it’s not their own. She took it really well. I’m happy about that.

We launched our new company a week ago, which is one of the reasons I’ve been MIA the last month. The preparations to get everything ready, then the actual equipment move and now the hellish work schedule is slowly killing me. The cost of doing business I guess. It will alleviate soon enough. Hopefully that dollar figure will follow for sure this time…

Cathy’s grandmother had a stroke at some point this week and she took the baby to Trenton this weekend (2/2, 3, 4) so there’s another weekend I didn’t see Zie. I feel bad for her grandmother, but I don’t know if I feel bad for the family. They use the only successful person in that family and nobody does anything for themselves. It’s not right. It’s not that it’s their “culture” Hispanics can be very successful, I’ve seen it. But I’ve gotten fucking used over and over again by that family. I don’t feel bad. Maybe this will be a cruel wakeup call. Mommy won’t be able to take care of you forever. People die. Get over it. Grow the fuck up you god damned lazy bastards. Get a job.

MDK. Oh how I miss you so. I just don’t have enough time to dedicate to PE at the moment. I’m not gone. Not by a long shot. Justine wants to play PE so I’ve been trying to find the time to get my spare PC up to par and we’ll get her in. The working 14-16 hours a day is really impacting my gaming.

I have, however, picked up Guitar Hero II. I can play 3 songs then goto bed. It’s quick and SO MUCH FUN. My left wrist is killing me tho. Accelerated carpel tunnel, but hey it was worth it lol

I’ll be getting the gallery up today hopefully, look for it. I’ll try to keep this updated a bit more often, it’s hard to find the time. C`ya!

It’s been an interesting week. Besides the daily bullshit, on Wednesday I walked out to my car to head home and when I sat down, much to my surprise, there were three holes in my windshield. My car must have been wandering around on other people’s property without my permission again, because I know my car wasn’t doing anything wrong to be the victim of a horrible BB attack.

Goodbye 100 bucks!

At least my insurance company covers glass, which was a very pleasant surprise. Vandalism sucks, but the $628 dollar bill would have sucked even more had they not covered it…

Cathy seems to have moved on, which is a blessing, and a curse at the same time. I’m happy it’s over but my heart still aches that I got used like I did. The problem is that I let myself get used…and it was okay…even though it sucked so badly. Now that Justine is in my life, I can honestly say that I’m happier now than I’ve been in years, if not the happiest I’ve been EVER. She warms my heart, knows just what to say, knows how to make me laugh when I can’t even smile.

The distance between us, which I thought might be a problem, is most likely the best thing for us to explore what kind of relationship we can and will inevitably have. It allows us to strengthen the connection of the mind, body, and soul, without the sexual connection. Anybody can have sex, not everybody can connect on that upper plain that creates that eternal relationship between minds. Once the mind accepts another inside, it’s easier for the heart to know for sure what feelings are truly overwhelming. And when both the mind and the body are in sync, the soul follows closely behind, naturally.

I’ve started playing with the body’s natural energy again, which is something I never thought I would do again, but Justine, without her even knowing it, has reminded me of what used to make me undeniably happy.

Let’s just get passed Him, as we’re both ready to move on, and He can’t let go, even though She has made it clear through the official channels of the court system, that this needs to stop. It’s getting potentially violent.

Haven’t logged into Entropia in over a week. Not that I’m abandoning the game, there’s just been some other things that have my interest at the moment, and endless skilling on Exo’s and Snable’s in Club Neverdie, isn’t at the top of my list. :)

She drools when I play Half Life 2 (one of her favorites) because she’s never seen it the right way. 19 inch widescreen, DVI, at uber res, with all options pumped. It’s purdy lol

Packed up Cathy’s shit last night. Little harder than I had thought it would be, but I found out some interesting information and confirmed it last night. Word on the street is that Teh E had some harrasing phone calls and email’s after my last communication with her about Zie. Cathy also says that she ran into Teh E all the time and like had it out with her 3 or 4 times during the last year. Teh E says she hasn’t heard from Cathy directly in over a year. The question is, which liar is lying. Teh E has absolutely no reason to lie anymore. She’s been out of my life for almost 18 months. The last time I talked to her was when she emailed me saying congrats on the baby and if I needed anything she’d be there. So why would that liar lie? There’s no reason in my eyes. Cathy denies it all.

Well, I found Teh E’s email address in her top drawer last night while clearing her stuff.

If that’s not confirmation enough as to who’s lying, I don’t know what is. I’d thought of her better than that. Which makes this decision I’ve made even easier for me to accept. I never wanted this for Zie though. I hate the conditions she’s living in but it’s for the best I guess.

Until next time. Do anything that I would do.

P.S. Justine is coming over this afternoon! YAY!
