Journal Xerithane's Journal: Amusment at others. 19

Journal by Xerithane

So I'm going to write a bit about a friend of mine. He's a great guy. Absolutely hilarious, and never boring to hang out with. Insensitive in the way you don't have to worry about offending him, and doesn't sweat the small stuff.

He's a chick magnet. The only problem with this is every girl that likes him is hideous, in looks and personality. It's really unfortunate, and I just don't understand it. It's like there is some conspiracy amongst the lowest ranked tier of single girls to want to be with him.

Poor bastard.

So we're hanging out at our regular starbucks, and he runs into an old friend from high school. She's the same age as him, and on first look she was a babe. We hang out with her for a bit, the whole entire time she is standing next to him, complimenting him, showing him her ass. She has a great sense of humor, she's good looking, and seems to like him. I'm thinking fantastic, and sizing her up like a picky father.

She passes every test, and after she's gone I comment that there seemed to be some flirting. He blows it off, and tell him that he should pursue it. He says no! I asked his logic, and apparently the only thing he could think of is he wants to buy a car first.

I can see where he is coming from, but it's not every day that a girl he gets along with that is a babe, who seems to be really into him, comes along. I just don't get it. He's also convinced she doesn't like him, which from my observations were total bunk.

Kids these days.

  • I wish I had a fix girlfriend...
    lucky you - I wish you all good.
  • Congratulations! I wish the best for both of you.
    • Thank you much. I'll try to get online a few times while I'm over there and give some updates. I'll post the photos when I get back.
      • Ditto on the good luck with the wedding and have a long and wonderful marriage.

        Btw - good luck also typing on those japanese keyboards. Perhaps you can have your new wife do the typing for you ;-)

          Thankfully enough I've played around with the electronic translators enough to know how to use the keyboard. It's really weird to type a word out "daigaku" and have the kanji's pop up. Especially if multiple kanji can mean "dai" or what not. Then you have to choose.

          When you type 'da' the hiragana for 'da' shows up, then you hit 'i' and it turns into the kanji for 'dai'. It's really kind of cool. I don't know how it works under Linux, but I have to set it up for her when she gets back so I can tell you then.

          Learning to type in japanese is a wonderful thing too, it really helps you learn kanji as long as you know the word. I can only read and write in hiragana (and some katakana) so I still feel like some 4 year old kid. Well, their vocabulary is likely better than mine too :-)
  • Congrats on Japan and CGJ.

    I can relate to your friend. Life sucks without a car. Every time you meet a hot chick your like "okay when I get my car I'll pick her up. Any day now, I'm working on it." I've been "working on it" for three years now.

    Just my 2 my two brown coins with the Queens head on.

      I was fortunate enough to get my first car for free, just had to tow it off the property. :) I remember not dating girls until I got a new car purely because I was embarassed off that poor truck. Luckily, it was motivation. I got an RX-7, loved it (Thanks to my dad, and my brother for being stupid, I managed to land that car for dirt cheap). The bottom line is, it didn't matter. The girls I dated after I got the RX-7 I could have easily dated with the POS truck, and they wouldn't have cared. The truck was broken down more than it was running, which I think that it's better to not have a car than to drive something like that.

      If a girl likes you, she likes you. Not the car. It's different when it's a hot girl you meet at random, but if it's someone you know who likes you, it doesn't make a difference I don't think.
    • CGJ

      Alright I give up,

      what in the world does CGJ stand for??
      • I think it's supposed to be Cute Japanese Girl (CJG), but that's just a guess.
        • Correct Xerithane calles her "Cute Japanese Girl" or "CJG". I just though "Cute Girl Japanese" sounded cooler hence CGJ.
          • I thought about correcting you, but then got a chuckle over the SVO vs. SOV aspect of English vs. Japanese. Granted, there is no verb but still got a kick out of it.

            It makes translating very hard, and is also hard to read sentences when they are formed like:
            The boy the ball hits (As has been used before hand)

            Americajin desuka. American I am. :-)

            Riiiiiiight. Your impeccable spelling is notorious. I call typo. :)

              I got it from a cooking show called "Iron Chef". They have world class chefs come on and challenge their "Iron chefs" to a cook off. It's like the American Gladiators of cooking. Anyhow the show is Japanese and they have a chefs for every style. They call them all "Iron Chef <STYLE>". Hence "Cute Girl Japanese."

              theres noting werong wiht mi speling. :)
              • I was actually trying to enlighten CJG about her nickname on here. She didn't understand it. Her first thought was, "You write about me?" I said, "Yeah" and she said it was slightly creepy because anyone could read it. I said, "Uhm, if I wrote a book it would be the same thing." Granted, not many people would buy it, but regardless. Either way, it made her feel better. Not that anybody knows me, or would in any way be able to blackmail her with anything on here.

                Not like she's an international jewel thief or something. At least I hope not.

                  Hieniken actually knows about my journal. The other day at lunch he said. "You misspelled Hyundai in your Journal."

                  Do they even have thoes anymore? Did they ever?

                    I know one guy who reads /. and he happens to be too damn stupid to remember my nick. Even after he wrote it down.

                    Do they even have thoes anymore? Did they ever?
                    Well, I'm certain that there are. With all the jewelery store robberies that happen in various countries, a certain percentage has to be from a foreign country that has robbed places in other countries. I wouldn't think they are prevelant in society though.
  • I've decided to start a journal just to waste even more time than I already do. I was going to make this anonymous for you so you don't have to be associated with me and be all embarassed about it later. but here goes anyway.. so Anyway I read the last few entries you did.. entertaining. um. chick magnet.. I've been doing some thinking... the only girls have liked me in the last year or so ahve been overweight.. and anyone else I just don't have the testicular fortitude to talk to... and I don't have a car and I'm still living at my dads.. somday though. anyway good luck in Japan if I don't see you. ps so I'm eating this chimichanga
    • Hah, didn't realize you setup an account.

      You are a chick magnet, you just don't realize it. It's just the only girls you have the balls to be yourself around is those that you wouldn't do anything with because of their.. physical stature. :)

      You are money. Regardless of your opinion of yourself. You complain about living with your dad and not having a car, but so many people do when they are young. It's not nearly as a big of deal as you think it is I don't think. You should just try.

      Anyway -- I'm goign to try to stay up most the night tonight. Want to go spend many hours doing nothing at starbucks tonight?
    • I'm plugging your journal. Those are the funniest Slashdot JE I have ever seen. I'll write the JE in the next hour, so if you object, post now or forever hold your piece (or at least until you convince me to edit my JE and take it out.)
