I had a little bit of a date even last night, so that was a positive change of pace - springtime, you know, and a young man's fancy.

It was at a place where there was comedy - not really my thing - but I was willing to be entertained, and I got driven there in a car - not really my thing - but I was willing to be driven - and there were a few breaks to go have fancy drinks - definitely my thing. So I'm out in Lakewood where things are different and somehow more likeable - at the bar waiting for a thing the people nearby are talking about bitcoin, what is a bitcoin? they see me glancin', they knowin' - I mean, hey, I look at reddit, I know about a bitcoin so I tell them, and then we're friends and have a conversation. They flatter me saying I'm probably 28 and I'm pleased, a young man! My fancy turns to thoughts of smoking, it's spring. Outside to smoke and there are attractive funny people - we end up getting into conversations about our favorite D&D games! Like, there are detailed conversations about mechanics & feat taxes. So that happened. And then there's a bit more bar, a bit more date, a nice time had in the driveway, you understand. I got asked out and went - which is like, not quite a date, to me, because, you know, I have to ask you out - that's it, rules.

Like, not going in cars or going to a venue to sit & be entertained - but you know, I will go along. That's my move, my true design. I have elaborate rules & preferences, some of them are straight up crazy & alienating - but that's the thing, they're not closely held convictions you dig? The closely held belief that I live by is to try and be dashing, like everyone & be cool. It's important to be cool. So sure, I ain't like dogs, but I'll pet yours, sure I don't like landlords, but I'm nice to mine. It's that whole business of believing there's a better way but you gotta meet people where they are at. You gotta be cool with people if you want them to be cool with you.

So I did alright, stayed out late, did some kissin and talkin and tied it all up nice with a sweet dream. Today I resolved to clean my desk of unwanted old garbage and am raffling off retired computers & equipment, it is spring & a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of tidiness.
