So, here’s the weekend update.. only 2 days late this time!

Weight update: As of 9/15/07, 223.5 pounds, lost 5.5 pounds last week, with a total lost of 28.5 pounds in the last 2.5 months. Hey, I like this progress and I am very proud of myself. I didn’t know I had to will power to this until one day I decided to just do it and here I am now.

Friday & Saturday: These day were spent hanging with the Friend of Epic Win, Christa, we played video games, for the most part, watched some videos on Youtube, listen to some music. Played beatmania IIDX, DDR, Keyboardmania (which sucks) and Guitar Hero. Of course, when were playing DDR, she used the controller while I used the Cobalt flux dance pad.

Saturday night, we met at Hobo’s while she and her friend were having dinner and we head over to Ground Kontrol for some DDR that night. We didn’t stay long since their legs were tired from walking all the way from Washington Park and I just didn’t have it in me to play more than 3 games.  I liked her friend from High school, I forgot his name so I hope they forgive me for that memory loss. However, a guy who is funny, smart, and plays DDR is a friend of mine.

Sunday was the usual lazy day of watching tv, doing my laundry and finished up season 1 of Battlestar Galactica. I can’t wait to get Season 2 from my Netflix queue. Also, almost done with Season 5 of Queer of Folk which is not shaping up to be that great. Arrested Development Season 1 coming up in my queue too.

The Job is going well, last week, I made 309 costing tickets and 2% overall error rate. I made 4 errors on two reports today so I think it going up again for this week and I don’t know if I will get to my projected goal of 350 tickets. Starting next report week I will get my own logins.

Hey all, sorry for not updating for nearly 2 weeks. First of all, you’re probably wondering how the diet is going. Still going strong, still have not had regular soda for going on 2 1/2 months.

September 1st, 2007 - 230.5 pounds
September 8th, 2007 - 229 pounds
Total Weight Lost So far - 23 pounds

I did not have much money on Labor day weekend so I did not do much except watch some tv, play some video games, and went to Becky’s BBQ on Sunday. Met a few hot trangender women from Trans-ponder, Mila & Jayna along with their friend Mandy. Some of our other friends were there and I got to see my puppy, Aeris. I miss her alot. Overall it was a great evening.

Last weekend was great as well. Hung out with Christa and other friends at the Ambassador Restaurant on 47th and Sandy. It was my friend Joy’s birthday along with some of her co-workers and her other friends. I had 3 AMFs, got pretty wasted and yes, I did bust my Karaoke cherry. I sang 99 Red Balloons with Joy.

Was supposed to go to the Widmer Oktoberfest at the Widmer brewery but those plans were canceled because she was not feeling well because of a bad headache. Completely understandable, so instead I straighten up the apartment a little and took a nap among other things.

Sunday was a lazy day, took a nap, did laundry and bought some groceries. That’s about it.

Today… well today I went the Muse Concert because last week my friend Bob gave me his ticket since he could not make it because of work. I meet up with Christa but we only saw each other for like 10 minutes since we were in different parts of the concert hall.

Muse was great, for not knowing much of their music, it was really fucking good. I am want to get more of their albums and of course I will see them again once they come back to Portland.

However, it is now time to move onto a new topic. Emotional one so bear with me or don’t read it.

Between the end of the second opening band and the beginning of the Muse. I felt really lonely. I’ve been feeling rather lonely for quite awhile. I mean, here I was at a concert of a band I don’t know too well with no one else there I knew on the ground floor. Sure, My friend Christa was there but we only hung out for maybe 10 minutes at the most.

Seeing all the couples.. it affected my loneliness. I’ve been single for nearly a year. I’ve tried meeting people for dating on Craigslist with no fucking luck. Other dating sites have not proved useful as well. I cannot get out as often as I would like because of my job works me from 8:15am to 4:45pm, Monday through Friday.

I’ve been on this diet because I thought I was/still unattractive to most women out there. I mean sure I’ve lost weight and that’s good for me. I dunno, I am thinking maybe there’s something wrong with me. I just miss having someone around, to talk to, hang out with, be intimate with, kiss, caress and cuddle with. I was really emotional at the show. Before Muse came on, I had to fight back tears cause I was thinking about this alot… it was rather depressing.

I am trying to optimistic, expand my social network, gather more friends, go out and do more. All in all it has been a sucess but I have not found anyone for an romantic interest. *sigh* Sorry about that. Had to let it out.

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!
