Everything's gotten a little bit weird lately. I'm terrible with women
SPOILERS! (Click to view)About a year back I had a crackpot scheme that involved organising a small film festival in our area. The idea was to rent out a local pub/club and get some short films on the projector. Eventually the whole thing was scrapped because of laziness and because we didnt have all that many films to actually show. Also the expense.
So anyway, whilst trying to organise this thing I'm off looking for people who might have short films we can show, maybe even people who would be into helping organise the event. It's around this time that I stumble across a MySpace page for a girl who lives not too far away.
Favourite films included Withnail and I and anything from Tarantino or Leone. A rarity in our backwards area. I contact her about the festival, and even though it's now long-since dead, we've still been in touch. Not too much mind, just the occasional comedy insult here and there, usually something about my smelling of poo.
Recently I actually started hanging out with her, although not as often as I might like. Couple of drinks here and there, although never just the two of us. Turns out she likes a lot of other cool stuff too, not least being Heroes and South Park (I swear im the only person to watch it after 1998)
To try and cut a long story short - I've gone and fallen for her. Annoyingly its very possible that I've left it way too late to even consider doing anything about it. She generally has a pretty low opinion of men, her last boyfriend having lived out in Canada where they broke up after she'd travelled out there to visit him. Now she's somehow convinced that all men are going to screw her over and leave owing her 700.
Part of me wants to say something, while part of me knows that would be stupid. Part of me knows it would make things pretty damn awkward, while the other part of me is very crassly thinking "I have plenty of friends and we're not THAT close. Who cares if saying something to her stops us hanging out?" A healthy attitude then.
Life was simpler before my balls dropped. I didn't have shit like this to mull over in my inferior brain, and Thundercats was still on telly.
Halo 3 is pretty damn good. Predictably the campaign is entertaining but not too long, and the real meat of the game is in multiplayer. Had a fun night on Tuesday playing co-op with Ben and Blair, although that much Halo condensed into a few hours was grating after a while.
Anyone wants to play some Halo, or any other game thats been out long enough for Gamestation to have preowned copies I can borrow - my gamertag is CaptainApathyUK.
Also, 300 is stupidly gorgeous on HD-DVD.
That is all
In non-nonsense related stuff, are you picking up the Orange Box this week?
