Bob has decided to mix things up a bit. instead of starting my post with "you know what pisses me off" i will begin it with
I've finaly found something that makes me happy. the manly head nod. When bob rides a bike, jogs, walks etc and passes some other guy who is similarly involved we nod our heads. i find this nice. it's a bit like the teen grunt. if you see someone on the street and pass them you grunt, which means that you have politely acknowledged their existence but don't have to go into a discussion about the weather.
it is the opposite with (no offense) women. if you attempt to pass a woman and one of you says "hi" then you are in for a long discussion about the weather and some stupid local school politics. all the 40-something women who ware trying to get in shape love to take time away from actually exercising to stop and chat about some stupid inane little subject with someone they don't even know. this is different with someone you do know, as it would be rather rude not to stop and say hello, but with a complete stranger you should not be obligated to speak more than a word or two.
the other day i went on a local bike trail for an hour or so, during which (yes, i was counting) i preformed the Manly Head Nod 8 times. i had to stop and chat once, which really pissed me off. it was some lady with a poodle.
i hate poodles.
i believe the Manly Head Nod should become a more regular thing, not limited to guys. i don't know, do women do that? some sort of Feminine Head Nod? or do they have their own thing, like waving or spitting?
another good one is a combination of the two, a Manly Head Nod and a Teen Grunt. i haven't run into that all that often but when i do it is quite nice. i find the Nod very encouraging, and i think if we continue along this path we may one day be a society of people who hardly talk at all. my kind of world.
oh, and new movie by Bob, all of it made at 2 AM BUT BEFORE YOU WATCH watch the one below.
The Battlefield, a beautiful, toutching movie

See, I don't like stopping and talking to people. I can't stand the fact that women stand and talk to people they don't know.
I don't want to talk to you, and I can't find any reason that you would want to talk to me.
Unless you find my appearence to be interesting and would like to make sure I am not clinicaly insane and deserve to socialize with other human beings.
In that case, please ask and I will gladly oblige and say that no, I'm not insane.
In fact, I am perfectly sane. Possibly more so than the person who is talking to me.
I only nod or say Hi to people if we have made eye contanct. In that case it is only polite to acknowledge their presence.
I think you should change your post title to "I Am Man, See Me Nod". As silly as it is, it would make more sense.
I'M BACK!!!!!!!! hooray! omg! guess what! real women (meaning me) simply ignore people! unless as aiden says there is eye contact, but you see i am careful to avoid eye contact! you, bob, are just someone who attracts attention and women and women's attention! as you can see i am quite happy! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! okay, now that that's over..... i would call you, but it's too late now. i'll go look at ONE (well.... maybe two...) funny video(s) on youtube and then go to bed. bye now! \\//
yay! nice to have you back.
i like the title, i shall edit it in in a moment. much better. i couldn't think of anything so the one that's up now is all i had.
i attract attention a lot from hard-working joggers etc. because i will run about a block and begin sweating buckets, so it looks like i've been biking all afternoon.
correction: i do not attract women, quite the opposite.
update: after some experimenting on the bike trail yesterday i figured something out. the Manly Head Nod is also for some women, the kind who run several miles every day and have muscley, masculine bodies.
as you may know today and yesterday were the days Parents took their first vacation in 18 years. they went up north a little and stayed in someone's cabin, and as far as i can tell had a good time. they will be getting home in a few hours and my suffering will end.
as i predicted Smelly got even more bossy and writerish (because, as we all know, the difference between writers and God is that God doesn't think he's a writer). it's strange, when we're left alone for a while he isn't as crabby, however he becomes extremely bossy. enter (possibly fergie?) song on the subject. he's been very...strict. heil ethan. well, not that bad, but things have to go on his scheduel or hi face gets blood red and he yells until i comply. but for a long time left alone h's been doing pretty well.
last night i stayed up until 5:30 watching 28 days later (not all that scary after all...) and playnig hitman. that game should not be on the shelves. seriously, it's realy bad and kids will get hold of it if they want, i don't care what the rating is.
i know this should rightfuly be a post but it's a bit too short. rant over goodbye.
i wonder if i have a little dislexia. i odon't know. my coat has a lot of snottub.
wow....... oh my gosh. you are INSANE. and, yeah, trust me, if you don't attract women yet, you will. you're pretty good-looking. i thought that no man would EVER in this life think me pretty in the slightest. until last Friday one of them said i was, and i quote, 'passable for hot'. it was very nice to hear. and there are things i want to say to you, but don't want to say here. so i'll call you a little later. a little later meaning probably tomorrow, i have a ton of homework. and then you know what i bet is going to happen?! i bet you anything the teachers will give me another three billion tons of homework! honestly, i tell you! they are mean like that! i'll call you when i can...... sheesh, i wish homework was banned from existance. but as it isn't, i better go attack it now. \\//
Yes, Bob those women are really men trapped in a woman's body.
Or you can call them butch, or lesbians.
It is my beliefe that most masculane women must have something wrong with them. They must have more testosterone than women should normally have.
Thus they are manlier and might actually be more comfortable as a man, but just don't know it.
sorry i couldn't talk tonight craziness, ethan had a phone call that i think had something to do with work. i don't know exactly what it was but he has been very careful to make sure that i know that if i don't pick it up he will go Vlad the Impaler on my butt. ill try to talk tomorrow. do you have a AIM?
i'm good looking? news to me, i thought the face full of zits maybe was a bit of a turn-off. you're not that bad, not super-model gorgeous but a few miles away from ugly.
oh, i forgot to mention, during this last week-end i lived entirely on pizza. my stomache and arteries hate me. we had names for them, pizza 1, 2, 3 and 4. we ate them all. if only there were breakfast pizzas...
not ALL of them are lesbians, i know one who's pretty strait, just a bit...manly.
I said SOME are lesbians, not all.
There is this woman on one of our local news stations who looks freakishly like a man.
I can't watch her because I stare at my tv with my mouth hanging open and then start talking to anyone who will listen about how strange looking she is.
Maybe I can find a picture of her.
creepy.
yes you are good-looking. face full of zits?! you've got to be kidding me. okay, well, i am listening to black friday rule now. and wonder of wonders, i like it! it's so incredibly late for me to be up considering i have to be up really early dangit. so goodnight. after this song is done i'm going to sleep. i feel rather like sleep now. and food. actually i feel more like me. wow. i like this song so much...... i can totally see it getting stuck in one's head, especially YOUR head..... i never really get songs stuck in my head, except at the worst possible times. i.e., when i'm reading and i really want to concentrate on the book. goodnight, the song ended. wow im tired. maybe i'll listen to it again, after i take care everything else. wow i want sleep but i want to listen to it again. yeah, call me tomorrow if you really want to talk i don't have AIM, isn't that instant messager? er, messenger? i hate homework. i wish people didn't need sleep. i'd listen to so much music if i didn't need sleep. well ttyl \\// bye
maybe i will listen to it a fourth time and THEN go to bed... lol! /me smiles at good song and thought of interesting conversation tomorrow. my weekend was incredible. so yeah. somehow this song just got me very un-tired. goodnight now. i honestly will go to bed now, cross my teddy bear and hope to live. lol i am so happy at the moment. aiden, no one can define insane. because insane just means not sane, and how can anyone define 'sane'? there's so much gray area on that subject...... yeah. i'll talk to y'all later. wow.
currently listening to devil's dance floor..... i really want to stay up all night with flogging molly. but i have a really fun thing to go to tomorrow i'll talk to you about it after the fact goodnight wow i'm tired but hyper and happy. i am crazy.
you should read Beggars in Spain, all about people who don't need sleep.
if you like blackfriday rule try Rebels of the Scared Heart or Drunken Lullabies.
AIM is AOL instant messenger.you should get an account if you don't mind a popup every time you log on.
contradiction.
insane: to repeat one thing over and over and expect different results.
huh. i was just informed that i have a very mild case of lisdexia (kidding there). i've been noticing lately that every now and then i'll mix up a letter or two and when i asked Old People about it they said that i've always had a very mild form of dislexia. to tell the truth im not all that surprised. i think when God made me he was laughing hystericly as he formed my brain. "i'll make him psycotic, dislexic, shy and bitter. then i'll give him asthma and a love of running and the outdoors, i'll make it so that he can't stand to fit in in a clique, and to top it all off i'll make him love the country and outdoors and put him in the most annoying suburb on earth!"
i don't seriously believe that, i think all my messed up things are for a purpose, i know that having asthma provides a serious hurtle but (i just tried to spell that 'btu') i know that there's a reason for that, i know that i want to be in the country but if i had lived there i would not have the life i do now, and because i don't seem to fit in most places i have become an individual who doesn't do as the mob does and has his own mind.
i guess my life doesn't totaly suck.
yeah. i feel...... like a little kid. like i'm just five years old: lonely, angry, depressed, confused. but with moments of happiness. I had the same realization on my 14th birthday. just that i felt like that. i'm not particularly good at anything, except memorization, i'm not particularly passionate about anything, except ST, and trek-related issues, i have no ambition, no ideas about where my life is going. i think my mind/soul/katra! yes, there's the word, my katra is changing, becoming the katra of an adult. (katra is the Vulcan term for mind, soul, personality, whatever makes you you, it can't be really explained, but they call it the katra) but i don't know how it's changing, just that i'm getting sort of gradually more mature. yeah, bye. \\//
my krata doesn't seem to have changed all that much. im basicly the same as i was when i was 7, but a little more mature and a lot less hyper. and maybe a little more stupid riskwise. i supose i've matured, though im still all too much the same.
one more flogging molly song. swaggar. it's an okay song but i think you should listen to it and see if it reminds you of anything. i don't think all that many people whould get this but you might.
i told you about ehtan's idiots coming over right? in case i didn't ehtan has friends coming over and one of them is confescating my room for the night and i get to sleep downstairs with the rats and spiders. so today i cleaned up my room and realized something. my room would scare anyone who didn't know me, and this girl doesn't know me very well. so im washing the gunpowder out of my sheets, taking my oh so beautiful shotgun downstairs, throwing my knife collection (of 26) in the closet and hiding the illeagal fireworks and shotglasses. but it still looks scary. maybe i should put something pink in there. i don't know...im tired and misspelling everything. goodbye.
dude! you did not call me! so how could you have told me about Ethan's friends coming over? i will go listen to that song now and get back to you.
lol! that fits me perfectly.
eek. you called me anyway. its a policy of mine not to call people unless i have something especaily important to say, but ya i should have called. sorry. eep.
did you catch the tune? go listen to it again and sing with it.
hooray for cpt. spawlding, hte african explorer...
it's the same tune! it's the captain spawlding song only without the words.
i thought i may have told you on here. i need to go hang a garlic clove over my door in preparation for tonight.
close but not quite the same tune
http://youtube.com/watch?v=8vqvH4mr2M8
that, my friends, is the link to kirk/spock sexyback. watch it, trust me, you will find at least some of it funny.
You nod to people you pass? I always make eye contact and stare at them until they become uncomfortable and look away. They never talk to me. (except for kids)
im kind of dreading/accited about sexyback.
nat, you are the kind of person who would stare at people and not talk.
wee! new computer! this one is mine, all mine precious, yes it is, gollum!
it's a crappy old 98 but it can write so i like it. im not very picky.
well...they're here. Aaron (sir darth merlin etc. for those of you who know) and Heidi are here and overthrowing my room. i have been evicted to sleep wtih the mice and rats in my basement. however i plan on animating all night so it won't be that bad. oh yeah, and Aaron was sharpening my M1 bayonet with a carrot. i know, it makes no sense, take it up with him.
wee 1 am! hooray for cptn spawlding!...
yes, hooray for captain spaulding! omg, i actually thwarted the authorities and am listening to black friday rule at school. i will get in trouble if caught, but i doubt they'll actually notice. \\//
so how many garlic cloves did you put in odd places in your room?
okay, NOW i'm listening to gethsemane by nightwish...... this is so fun. subverting the authorities by listening to awesome music......
MONKEY!!!!!!!!!
i just saw a monkey run across a street in our tiny little 5000 person town. i am not lying, bluffing or making this up. i was coming off a biketrail that runs through our town when i saw something run, monkeylike, across the road. it was about the size of a cat so that's what i thought it was. but when i pursued i noticed a very long tail and an odly shaped body. it ran behind a car and i waited for it to come out. it did, and i saw for sure that it was a monkey, well actualy a lemur. ring tailed lemur.
http://www.sch.im/wlp/large%20images/ring-tailed%20lemur.jpg
one of those. i kid you not. a lemur. if it is found and gets in the news i will post teh article. i am sure of what i saw. it was a monkey.
and in reply:
i love sneaking things past authorities. like candy past an extreme health nutt hippie. same kind of thing.
sigh, couldn't get the garlic in time. im currently purifying my room.
first, i sprinkle it with gunpowder to make it smell like me again, tehn i mess everything up so it looks like my room once more, then i exorcise it.
oh, and check out new link. that's what happen's when you're up all night.
the authorities are powerless to stop us.
er, that was me just then.....
i know. they are. they can do nothing! mwahahahaha!
is it sad that i have almost as many gregorian chant CDs on my mp3 player as i do U2? i am very weird.
yeah, i'm weird too.
hi, how are you?
im fine today. new computer. and new desk that isn't too small for me. wee!
good for you! no news here, except having hydrogen peroxide in your ear feels really weird.
r.e. is telling me that i should tell you about some stupid video game. well, okay, it's new super mario brothers, and i stink at it. yeah.
i'm bored. i should go be stupid. then i'd not be bored, and then i'd actually have something to say.
ah yes, super mario borthers...been a long time. i'll have to try the hydrogen peroxide thing.
nice day out, i've already gone several miles on teh bike trail, around town (circling it) twice, all while recovering from a MASSIVE caffine/sugar crash. yesterday i was hopped up all day, seriously, every time i felt a crash coming on i would get another energy drink so when i finaly did crash it was multiplied about 7 times.
if you're bored you should go outside. ride a bike (if you have one) or blow stuff up or climb a tree. or have a tea party or whatever it is girls do outide. or do you do anything different from guys? i don't know. nice to have you around, it's how i learn things about females, as i have no other contact with them. except for the one girl but as i've said she's pretty much a dude.
man, i just checked my mcfly sucks vid, someone realy hates me. they'll probably be death threat #7. or is it 8...
oh, and They are ttoaly out to get me. a van is parked outside our house (basic servailence) on my last ride i had several cars drive slowly by me and one time as i went into an ally a white van pulled away. they are planning something. if i die soon publish my harddrive all over the internet ;)
yeah, i wouldn't have had hydrogen peroxide in my ear if i hadn't had a really annoying zit in my ear which my mom insisted on lancing for me, as i was certainly not about to do it. and then it bled some, so she put peroxide in my ear. it feels really weird fizzing in your ear, as i said before.
i doubt they're actually trying to kill you. if they did, they would have me to answer to! jk.....
yeah, climbing a tree sounds like fun. i used to do that all the time when i was younger, before we moved here and now we don't have trees. sad sad. but hey, my friend who lives on the same street has a good climbing tree.... if she's at her dad's house today, i'll probably go climb trees/swing on the swings at the park on the end of our street. you've been there, right? there's sort of a mini-woods-ish-not-really at the end of it. it's nice, because some people i could mention are too much of a wuss to go in.
oh. my. gosh. i cannot believe you just said the word tea parties in conjunction with me. I'M NOT FIVE YEARS OLD!!!!! okay then, just wanted to make that clear.
your friend might not appreciate being called 'almost a dude' behind her back. she might, of course, you know her better than i, but i doubt she'd be too thrilled with that.
i have to go now. Live long and prosper. (i love typing that out! and making the sign with my hands..... wow. okay, the Vulcan salute in Star Trek: First Contact, which is supposed to be one of the best star trek movies, is SO LAME! oh my gosh. i have to demonstrate. like you have to demonstrate the whatsit, the other bad place you blew something up? that's it..... anyway, so it was incredibly lame.) bye now. hopefully i will have done something interesting by the time i get back to you.
oh gosh. asd;jkl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay, no tea parties. got it.
she's fine with being a dude. in fact she may preferr it
i sent you a youtube message
call me ASAP
i lost three friends last night through my own stupidity. but i will call you asap. tell your mother not to worry too much. and..... don't be mad at me. please don't be mad at me, i don't want to lose you too.
okay, that was a really stupid thing to say. i know we'll be friends for a very long time.
don't worry. we're fine. my mom's not worried, one thing about growing up with her around is you learn how to dispell her worry rather fast, though you have her sympathies.
im sorry about your friends...that's all i can realy say. appologetic writer's block.
under the circumstances, i think it would be more appropriate if you called me. also asap, for reasons of i'm leaving at 6.
OK
AAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!! talk to me before my little brain....... omg that just reminded me of two things at once, one of which was Star Trek! I am now laughing silently but hysterically........ wow. wow. and again i say, wow. hopefully i'll see you tomorrow. yay, life. \\//
ug, had to go to dance lessons saturday. not pretty. but appearently i wasn't the worst there which made me happy. i should put a scope on my rifle. i have a rotweiler up the street that wants to kill me. now im tired and saying strange things. goodvbye.
what kind of dance? i also am tired. so goodnight. *mentally smiles at friend (too tired to physically smile)
\\//
ballroom, jitterbug, tango, useless things like that.
cool. wish i could do that instead of you.
HI EVERYBODY (hi dr. nick!)
I UPDATED BYSK SO GO LOOK AND COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT!!!
hi dr nick!
oh boy! new bands!
i wish you could too. be nice, wouldn't it.
oh, and appearently i'm "hot."
*sigh*
i should tell you this before you hear it from ethan in a not so factual way.
last night we were stuck at a mcdonalds until 11 pm (car broke down) so with nobody there the employees began observing us. we had been there since 7 and about about 10:30 one of the kids who worked there (i think he was the french fry guy) came up to me and said
"there's a bet going on, how old are you?"
"14"
"oh." he said, obviously disappointed by this result "the girl with the glasses thinks you're hot."
i smiled and soon he went away. i have to tell people as Smelly has plans to reveal it at very embarasing times.
That's funny.
I had this guy at media play (before it closed) stare me down and flirt with my.
He was a gross pimply red head who freaked me out.
I was about 14 when this happened.
I'm 16 now and it still freaks me out because I notice old men staring at me.
Creepy.
creepy. the fun thing about being a girl in those circumstances is you can MACE them and not realy get into trouble.
My younger brother Erik makes me nod to peeple who drive by whne we're out biking. I feel like some sort of goose. I'm always tempted to honk as I nod.

The Grownup Biker Dude version of this is sticking two fingers of your left hand out, just below the handlebar of your motorcycle, as another Motorcycle-Dude-And-Thus-Real-Man rides by with his biker chick letting it blow in the wind.
I'm just getting back into the motorcycling schtick. I have an AnteNicene, 1982 750 Yamaha, which was one hot bike back in the day but is now just right for an aging, fifty-something, fat dumpy guy just trying to save on gas and relive the glory years.
The first time I tried the two-finger "Hey, cool dude, we're part of a secret biker society" signal, I nearly lost control of the bike. I went to the head-nod for awhile, but am now practiced up enough I can do the two finger flourish with aplomb.
Of course, I wear a helmet, as I've grown accustomed to my head. So that makes me a second-class citizen in the biker rat-race.
When out on my bike, I either do the 'feminine head nod' or say 'hi' in such a bland, emotionless voice as to discourage all conversation. If, however, this greeting is said in any other tone of voice, I've found that it immediately invites dull and meaningless conversations about the weather, how school's going, and the hunting rituals of the coyote(usually brought up by me: perfect conversation stopper).
