The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

[Aeson]

We've never broken up. Mandy & I met at the dentists office on June 26th.

I think you are thinking about Mindy. She called it off with me about a year ago, I think. :\

If your next girlfriend is named Mondy then we know you're making them up.

Hiya folks....

Mornin', Myc.

Yeah, everyone has different definitions they operate by. I consider myself a nerd first and foremost.

My personal distinction follows something like this:

Geeks have a particular expertise or knowledge of a single field, generally of a science or popular culture icon. Thus one can be a computer geek, a Star Trek geek, a Star Wars geek, etc.

Nerds are classified by a heightened general intellect and a lack of interpersonal skills.

Being one hardly disqualifies one from the other, and a single person could embody multiple geekdoms. So it falls to each person to choose which classification best suits them. I enjoy my pop culture, but I tend to be diverse in my tastes and lack the depth of knowledge shared by those truly devoted to a single fandom. But I am an engineer who suffers from nausea at the mere thought of public speaking. Thus, I am nerd, hear me roar.

Hmm ... wonder what I am then? Both? Nah ... I'll just stick with plain "weird".

Mornin', Myc.

And a GOOD morning to you to you vicious amphibian!

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Good Morning Myc.

No arguements here.

Yeah, I vaguely remember. 'course, the Hive was a different group then, but still, nobody really wanted to be active in early morning. (Not that I speak from experience. God knows I was never active in early morning.)

Ohhh ... it's a doobahdeedoo
yes it's a doobahdeedoo
I'm singing doobeedoobeedoobeedoobee
doobahdeedoo....

A vague sort of dumpage.

[sblock=cut for being emo-tastic]
"When are you going to ask Catherine out", they said, "it's not like she's going to say no."

Turns out the reason she wouldn't say no was not so much because she was interested, but more because she felt pressured into it by her sister, and others. The same people asking when I was going to ask her out.

*sigh*

Apparently I'm a "genuinely wonderful guy", but she didn't feel "that romantic spark" with me. Not the first time I've heard that. . . guess I'm sparkless.

So now we're supposedly "just friends".

C'est la vie.[/sblock]

How do you know it's a spark and not just gas?

 

[Mycanid]

No arguements here.

Aha! Where two or three witnesses are gathered together (and all that)....

Ah, I think you misunderstood my "previously dated" question then. No problem. Mindy and Mandy though huh? Funny.

I have dated 3 different guys named Brian. Popular name.
