Your Score: Modern, Cool Nerd

60 % Nerd, 69% Geek, 26% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn’t use to be cool, but in the 90’s that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn’t quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and “geek is chic.” The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Congratulations!

Time for another weekend update from your good old friend, Alex or Cephiros… whatever you wanna call me. Before we get started on updating you on my weekend activities. There is a weight update.

8/25/07 - 232.5 pounds - lost 1.5 pounds - total lost: 19.5 in slightly under 2 months.

Friday Evening - Kicked it old school style with two people from the Damn Portlanders Livejournal Community. That would be with [Freyis - ] and [Katlyn - ]. We went to Wunderland and played some Dance Dance Revolution and DMX and some other games as well. After that, we had dinner at a really and not too expensive Chinese place. I think it was around 29th and Belmont. I’m not completely sure. We talked, had fun, really glad I hung out with them.

Saturday - Seumas and I cleaned up the apartment a little bit. It still needs some work but looking better than before. Went to the mall, hung out with Aaron, Ben, Seumas. We also went to Fry’s Electronics and checked out the wares but I didn’t anything. Aaron couldn’t buy Invasion from Space on DVD I believe it was. The reason being because it had a street date of 9/4/07 or something of that sort but there was a copy on the floor.

Went to Bangkok Palace and had some really good Thai food that tasted like the stuff when I was really in Thailand. After that, it was time go to the Freezepop show. The first opening act, Operation Mission was really really good and he kicked the synths from his gameboy. Bringing back the sounds of 1989. PGE was okay, some of their stuff was good but overall, it was kinda bland. Michele Wylen, was cute, pretty good but it sucked as she was starting her show, since there was tons of feedback.

However, Freezepop was fucking great. I loved all the songs they played. Boys on Film, Brainpower, Pop Music Is Not A Crime, Final Countdown, Less Talk More Rokk and more. I was dancing and grooving to the sounds of great synth pop. After the show, were meeting people, selling band stuff and signing Guitar Hero controllers.

The only thing I did not like about the show was this group of annoying fucks who got really drunk. They started being abnormally loud, hitting machines. A guy and girl from the group were really drunk and they started making out and dry humping to Freezepop which was kinda funny.

Sunday - Hung out with Becky. Watched and got hooked on some Battlestar Galatical and I really like it that I moved it up to the number 1 spot in my Netflix queue. Took the our dog, Aeris to the Mt. Tabor. We had a blast, had some dinner at Burgerville. Did my laundry. Basically, a pretty lazy Sunday after all.

That’s all for now.

So, I haven’t updated in awhile and I’m bet you’re curious to how my weekend went? No? Fuck you, read it anyways.

Friday: Went to Superbad with my two friends Marcus and Christa. However, before that we had some sushi at the ever popular and best sushi place, Sushi Takahashi. We arrived at the Regal Pioneer Place theater around 5 minutes before the movies started and there was a long line to buy tickets, suckers. We came prepared, I bought our tickets on Fandango. While the commercials are horrible, the service is very convenient. After that, we just sorta hanged for a little, talked while we waited for my blue line MAX. Oh yeah, Superbad was Supergood and I suggest everyone to see it who likes these kinds of movies.

Saturday: Laundry day for me… woot.. Earlier this day I made a post to the DamnPortlanders livejournal community to see if anyone. Actually got a few people interested but they already had plans that night. However, I still went to Ground Kontrol but around 7pm instead of the time I posted earlier. I played some DDR, and of course other games as well. Brought some spare clothes for the excursion out. Impressed a few people with the Arrow smash skillz. Talked to some of them, talked to a cool bartender lady. Lots of cute girls there but I didn’t really talk to any of them. I’m in the stage of putting myself out there, trying to be more social and such. I’m sure it would be easier for me meet more if I had a friend with me. Perhaps another time.

Weight Update: Lost 1.5 pounds - down to 234 - Lost 18 pounds in the last 1.5 months.

Sunday: Becky and I were supposed to go out to Mt. Hood for a hike but there was a high chance of rain. I had cramped my leg pretty badly and I guess both of us preferred a lazy Sunday and moved our plans to next Sunday.

Overall, I think it was a good weekend.

This Week

Monday - Called out sick. Yes, I really sick. Going to see if I can make up some time.
Tuesday - Tai Chi workout, Vitamin Shoppe for more Tonalin and Protein Shake stuff, both or just the shake stuff
Wednesday - Free Day
Thursday - Dinner with Joy and Lee
Friday - DDR Arrow Smash with 2 people from DamnPortlanders LJ community.
Saturday - Possible Meetup with more DamnPortlanders who are going to the Freezepop show
Sunday - Hanging out with Becky and My dog, Aeris

The X if you do this, chicks will have sex with you seems to be a running joke between two sets of my friends now. So the past few days have been quite interesting to stay the least. I really like this whole social life thing. It is much better to get out and about and not sit at your computer all the time.

So, Thursday, I hang out with one of Summer’s friends, AJ, it was good hanging out with him. We talked, had some dinner and we hung out at Ground Kontrol for a little bit.

Friday, I hung out with Christa, we talked, had dinner at Burgerville. Played some games on my DS. Bitched about Customers and Cell phone companies. Watched some Upright Citizen’s Brigade. Went to Cocktails and Dreams, a strip bar and met the always cool Jasmine. Well! Just let me tell you this. I got a little too drunk I think. I mean I didn’t like blackout drunk but I got really drunk. I had 3 AMFs ! So, I finally spilled the beans, that I liked her, but I didn’t do anything about it cause I valued you our friendship and I didn’t think she thought I was attractive and such. However, that is neither here or there, everything is cool. I met Marcus, and he’s a really cool guy. So, I had to make a little note, if the only way I can tell a girl I like her is after 2-3 AMFs then that’s going to be a very expensive habit! <- bad alcoholic joke.

Saturday, I did have a date but because of issues and miscommunication.. the plans fell through but the person apologized and we have it rescheduled for Wednesday and we’re still going to Sushi Takahashi!

Diet update - Down to 235.5 pounds, that’s a lost of 16.5 pounds in 1.5 months. It is going strong and I’m doing well and I think this is making me more confident and as I told my friend Amy, I think everyone is a work in progress.

I think it has been decided that Craigslist really sucks for dating. I have made many replies to ads but gotten no emails back from them. My own ad didn’t do so well cause the M4W area was flooded with new ads and got bumped to the second page in no time.

So, you’re thinking, what the fuck is up with my post title. Go to Youtube, search power thirst and you will all get it. Today was the first day of my new job doing freight verification. It is interesting to say the least. I think the data entry part and invoicing is going to be the easier part of my job whereas research of the freight is going to be the biggest learning curve.

So for a bit of an update. I have not received any replies from the girls I replied to on Craigslist. I dunno, maybe I need better pictures because the current ones I have really suck. It’s kinda disappointing cause I know I’m a great guy and good personality and all that fucking jazz.

Nothing much else to report. Went to Vitamin Shoppe and got some protein shake stuff, vitamins and weight management supplement.

Use your firmware to boot my floppy into hard disk mode. I’m interested in converting my flash drive into a RAM disk. Reboots will be infrequent, but more than one will be requited to complete the installation.

Specs: 35′ 6′, 185lbs, brown/blue, d/d free.

Send your configuration to learn more… and don’t be SCSI. Let’s upgrade soon!

So, after 4 months, yes you read correctly.. 4 months! Christa and I finally hung out. I made contact with her from Craigslist of all places in the Strictly platonic section of women for men. Yes, that’s right, at least 2 people know what platonic means. The world hasn’t ended yet. Basically, things happen that prevented hanging out earlier.
So, anyways, we were supposed go to Wunderland and play some video games (eg: DDR =P) but her door wouldn’t shut properly and no one came to fix it so we just hung out at her place which was cool. Played some Sonic the Hedgehog 2 which is kicked my ass at. However, in turn I kicked her ass Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine. Truthfully, I got the general concept but I don’t know why I did so well.

So, after the video games, we talked for a bit before I left around 11pm ish I think. I took the bus line 9 home and got off at Gresham Transit Center. I discovered that MAX does not run past 11:33 on most nights so I walked +35 block home. However, I needed the walk.

So, I think we’ll be great friends, lots in common. Hopefully it won’t be another 4 months to kick it. However, I know that Craigslist can be the cesspool of humanity.. but good things can happen although rarely.

Went to  get Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix yesterday, it was good, will go into more depth in another post.

So, yesterday I went to the dentist to have a surgical extraction. It cost me $212 and took about 45 minutes. It still hurts like a motherfucker. I was given antibiotics and vicodin for my pain and relief. I am missing class today and I’m going to take the loss in points in my speech class because I don’t feel like getting up today.

Tomorrow, I will pick up my paperwork and complete it for my new job! Yes, I did get a new job, I am a general assistant in PCC Student Government. It doesn’t pay super well but I will be helping out my school and it is not a call center. I will be heading to New Orleans this summer in volunteer work.

So, today was a pretty uneventful day for the most part. I got up around 10:30 am because Becky got me a Egg McMuffin from McDonald’s. I love them even though they are bad for you. My friend Josh came over to get some stuff and then he head to my other friend’s house, Lonnie. Invited me another friend’s party going on next Saturday on April 14th.

After that, I chatted with little bit with my good friend Summer, and then I hopped off to go play some Dance Dance Revolution. Some of my family came up from Roseburg because my nephew has surgery tomorrow. Tomorrow for me is going to be a busy day of catching up with all my reading homework. I don’t have class this Thursday because of a college in service day.

So, today was a pretty lazy day. I got up pretty late around 10:30 am and we got dressed and visited our friend Lee in the hospital. I chatted with my friend [Summer : ] a little bit then I decided to head to my bed for a short nap since I didn’t have much energy. I logged on to World of Warcraft and was hoping to raid Karazhan but that did not go as planned since today’s raid was a continuation of this past Tuesday’s raid for both groups. So, I decided to log off and chat with my friend [Summer : ] again and we had a great time. We chatted about various things, shared funny flash and Youtube videos before I decided to call it a night to rot my mind with evil television and video games

After getting bored with that junk, I decided to make some changes on my blog. I added a bunch of various small plugins. Check the sidebar to see the stats for this blog, each post has a view count, added server info to my dashboard, turned off the cephblog-cache plugin, Organized the blogroll into different categories and added more links. Added Becky from Trannywreck as an author just for shits and giggles. There are some plugins I uploaded but did not turn on because I did not want to spend too much time updating them.

Speaking of Youtube, I wanna become a director and make all kinds of stupid videos so the misanthropic scum of Youtube who commentaries show their powerful yet limited vocabulary of idiot, faggot, gay, retarded, stupid, and fuck. Its only a hobby that I would like to pick up and could care less if I get many views, positive comments and anything else other than some cheap personal entertainment.

April 1st, 2007 - Things to do
