283 s usual, as things are bothering me, I tend to rant here… Girls and dating and school have been the latest subjects; big surprise.</p>
284
285 <p>I’m getting overly concerened re dating, to the point that I’m spending way too much time to thinking about it. Part of my recovery (beyond espousing my recent club activities later) is to remove the waiting links from MyIE2, and I’m doing that now. If I really get back into hunting online dating later, then I’ll worry about it then.</p>

1002 ts one of those post - trying to do something blog entries.</p>
1003
1004 <p>I’ve written this one in mind many a time, don’t think I ever actually blogged it.</p>
1005
1006 <p>Have I mentioned how much I hate barring/clubbing?</p>
1007
1008 <p>I’ll walk in, thinking I look decent, smile at the bouncer, grab a drink and pull up a chair. I’ll immediately notice the many groups of women, the thirty and fourty somethings, the random guys…</p>
1009 rizwank 1.1
1010 <p>Well, let me lead up a bit better. The day was a long one, lots of time at home, downloading Scrubs episodes, coding for class and in general working. After a particularly good Scrubs episode and a verse of “Brothers in Arms” in my head, I knocked into inspired mode… the ones that occur from my medication and a really good thought hitting at the same time (sans the meds this time) … and the world looked conquerable —- nothing I couldn’t do, <span class="caps">UCLA</span> won’t be a problem etc…</p>
1011
1012 <p>(By the way, during this time, the amount of time I spent playing/thinking about Magic seemed utterly retarded; the scrubs episodes as totally irrelevant, etc.)</p>
1013
1014 <p>Day passed on and I decided that <span class="caps">I MUST</span> go out. Delayed as much as possible, including emailing HeatherW, in the attempt to find <em>anything</em> that might be social in this hell hole that didn’t involve clubbing or a bar. Showered shaved, invited Brian and Nichole, saying that I had to spend time with non-gamers/non-glasses wearers.</p>
1015
1016 <p>Look nice.</p>
1017
1018 <p>Show up at the bar, have a half Corona, panic overtakes me, and I end up splitting after about ten minutes. A few randomly cute girls in groups, but some thought of Heather telling me that I objectify women starts floating in my head and I can’t approach anyone… Tried to call her, got Joel instead, and we talked politics for ten… Got to Brian and Nicholes, watched ‘The Surreal Life’ and I split again. </p>
1019
1020 <p>Went back to the bar. It wasn’t going to have the best of me.</p>
1021
1022 <p>Got back, had a Pepsi and looked around. A girl with glasses that I had seen the first visit was there… then Outkast’s “Hey ya” came on, and of course, I chickened out and didn’t dance. There wasn’t a massive dancing group but there were a few. A pair of girls wandered on and clung together after a rather large Hispanic man approached them… and continued to dance with them although clearly they didnt want him around. More music passed and some white guy flirted with one of the girls and I didn’t summon the guts in time to go try to dance with the other. Glasses girl sat down cause she was being surrounded by … guys; and I asked her to dance. Summoned all my courage and did it. Got shot down of course. I’ve learned to deal with it, but I’d <span class="caps">ONCE</span> like a good bar/club story. Tried to buy some girls a round later but I just got odd looks.</p>
1023
1024 <p>Just as importantly, this serial picking up on girls isn’t me, and I don’t know why I try to be like that.</p>
1025
1026 <p>Its just I’ve got no other alternatives to meet people… seriously. I don’t have dorms, clubs, friends’s friends… at least at <span class="caps">UCLA I KNEW</span> that if I tried harder… but it isn’t so right now. </p>
1027
1028 <p>Its very easy to vicitimize oneself, esp when I start getting paranoid, acting intellctual, as if I am making a study of the dating habits of <i>Homo sapiens</i>, or whatever to detach myself from the din of a bar… but I’m just like everyone else; … one can think that I’ve been led to feel myself as a victim or different due to what HeatherW called as my ‘team of shrinks’, but I’d like to think I victimize myself less… </p>
1029
1030 rizwank 1.1 <p>One of thes days I’ll learn that I dont like these places, and I’m not right for them. I’ll learn that im <span class="caps">NOT</span> that kind of guy and that I’m not likely to meet someone right for me AT this kind of place. I’m not an average guy and I won’t be happy with an average girl (nor would they be with me) … by average, I’m not being elitest, I mean different .. althought I’m not as out there as I’d have myself believe.</p>
1031
1032 <p>Its too easy to get trapped into ideologies… that online dating is terrible, or the saviour of the gods… that playing magic and doing gaming is a reasonable alternative to clubbing or hanging out with others…</p>
1033
1034 <p>I’d just like <span class="caps">SOMETHING</span> to be simple. Actually, I’d like this to be simple. I can be social, I’m not your avg. nerd; I like to talk to people and meet new people; can sit down and have a chat with a totally new person… I just can’t meet people in crowds, I come off as awkard, or something. Hating crowds doesn’t help. Being overly self-concious doesn’t either… but thats a human afflicition.</p>
1035
1036 <p>I tried at the club, at least, and thats a victory of its own.</p>
1037
1038 <p>A victory over myself.</p>
1039
1040 <p>/me wants to learn how to not overthink things.</p>
1041
1042 <p>I’m gonna see heatherw tomorrow, I’m sure this’ll come up (unless she cancels in fear of this conversation)</p>

1170 h lovely, I just realized that Valintines day is coming. I was about to say that I had never been with someone during V-day, but thats not true, I was with (ex-gf2) . I have a really cute picture of her putting V-day hearts on my paper (as I was studying insanely at the time)</p>
1171
1172 <p>Reminds me to keep up with my few H/n emails.</p>
1173

1300
1301 <p>Interesting enough few days. I had a blog title all worked out for a recap of the <span class="caps">GP,</span> and I’ll write that as soon as I get back. (I’m on a break ‘tween midterms.)</p>
1302
1303 rizwank 1.1 <p>Judging Magic is a new obsession for me. I’m spending too much time in <span class="caps">IRC </span>(EFnet #mtgjudge) and planning for upcoming events. That being said, I’m probably working <span class="caps">GP </span>Columbus (sponsorship) and possibly <span class="caps">GP </span>Washington (housing only)… My goal is to be ready for the level two test by <span class="caps">PT </span>San Diego, so that if I can take it, I can work the main event…! (Its up to Rune whether I can a) Test for L2 early or b) Work the PT as a L1) … Sheldon has some issues; but those are for the next blog entry.</p>
1304
1305 <p>Exams are going fine, one down, one upcoming. Friday is a day off; I’ve got a significant amount of projects in classes due next week so the timing is great; but with such a long break (Thursday - Sunday), I really feel I should be going somewhere or doing something. (Or dating someone.) But thats a constant point anyhow ;p</p>
1306
1307 <p>I’ve gotten the ball rolling on returning to <span class="caps">UCLA,</span> and its freaking me out. John, my counselor, heard some determination in my voice and thinks I should be ready now; but I’m scared to all hell. First, living with the ‘rents <b>has</b> helped with school focus and I don’t know what I’ll do; do I drive to <span class="caps">UCLA,</span> find an apartment down there? Live with extended family of some sort? Live in my car? ;p</p>
1308
1309 <p>Second, <span class="caps">UCLA</span> is a <span class="caps">LOT</span> harder than <span class="caps">CSU </span>Pomona. Lets be honest, I’m not being elitest or in any way degrading Pomona or its students, but what is expected of students <span class="caps">ISN’T</span> nearly close to that at <span class="caps">UCLA. </span>Stuff I get away with at Pomona wouldn’t be accepted at <span class="caps">LA,</span> and the question “Am I only doing well because Pomona is easier?” floats to the top of my mind (constantly).</p>
1310
1311 <p>All that being said, if I go back, and everything transfers ok, I’ll be at around (halts to Remotely Anywhere to my home machine to turn on Kazaa and look at my school progress Excel file)… Ok, I can’t remote in for some reason, so I started Kazaa via command prompt. Anyhow, its close to 60 units, which is 3-4 quarters at <span class="caps">UCLA,</span> perfectly managable. … and then I’ll be <span class="caps">DONE. </span>After (counts) … 99,00,01,02,03,04,05 … seven years (omg, I’ll be a seven year college student!) I’ll finally be done!</p>
1312
1313 <p>(The question that begs to follow is, what after that? I refuse to worry just yet)</p>
1314
1315 <p>I’m hoping to go abroad again this summer; hitting Japan or England are the two biggies on my mind… either trying to work at the Beeb in England or teach English in Japan… Aarif is in Japan, so he might be able to suggest something. Apparently it pays quite well, (but they ask you to have a degree), so some future investigation is required.</p>
1316
1317 <p>Ok, quick review of materials, then back to examming.</p>
