Dylan's Journal

my homework is growing… and I am having motivation problems doing it. :P

and tomorrow, I’ll have to deal with the idiots (classmates). They’re not all bad, but… Mostly they are.

it would be nice to have a good conversation with someone which lasted for several hours or more. There are things I’d like to say, that I have no one to say them to….

in other news, I have to do a week’s worth of homework tomorrow…

/* Oh, there’re sober men in plenty, And drunkards barely twenty, There are men of over ninety That have never yet kissed a girl. But gie me a ramblin’ rover, And fae Orkney down to Dover. We will roam the country over And together we’ll face the world. */

This song is oddly appropriate. Hopefully I won’t be one those men over ninety, but eh, the way things are it is possible.

Something unexpected is going to have to happen. I don’t really have any more ideas for locating people that are similar to me…

I don’t really know anyone (offline) that I can be myself with, I am forced to be “Dylan Lite”, and when I forget to modulate myself, people get annoyed, and give me that look, like I’m a martian… Now, I’m a good chameleon, but it is tiring.

The problem is anything I’m interested in, I learn much more about than a non-geek would. Well, no, this isn’t a problem. This is a useful and healthy facet of my personality… The problem is no one but another geek will understand this.

So the quesiton is, where would people like me hide? I’ve not seen a one at college, LUG, perl mongers, nor the half dozen other places I’ve tried. Probably anyone like me is hiding in front of their computer, hacking on code. :)

This is a logistical problem. Essentially I have to just pray to the Random Number Gods on accidently running into this or these hypothetical intellectual peers. I do not like that, no sir.

But what other choice is there? I refuse to believe I just have to rely on some cosmic rand() function… So I must think of ways of biasing the said function. :)

(Of course, if I really wanted to have a gf, I could probably find a ‘normal’ person, but there is no point. A pretty face is nice, but without a beautiful mind, I couldn’t care less.)

Ah well. Qué será será. What will be will be, but I hate that attitude! I am the master of my own future.

Still, I am content. It would be nice if there was a way you could go “Show me all geeks within fifty miles of $place”, though.

Post a reply explaining what you do not like about me, and then post this in your journal, if you dare. This should be constructive criticism!

Sum up your opinion or impression of me in one word, leave it as a comment in this posting, and then post this sentence in your own journal… IF YOU DARE

(more than one word may be used if only one word is not acceptable)
