Okay so I was bored the other night and I decided to post an ad on the adult section of craigslist, advertising hook up lessons. I felt like stirring up a little trouble :)
So anyways, I got a bunch of responses...and one very strange surprise...my ex-boyfriend actually answered the ad. Talk about a SMALL WORLD. Apparently him and his roommates were up til 5AM answering adult ads on craigslist for laughs. I texted him the next day and we got a kick out of it.
Something else kinda funny, this guy from Boston got to talking to me...I told him it was a fake ad...and we are now like penpals. He started telling me about this woman that he is engaged to but isn't so sure he actually wants to marry now. We are kind of going back and forth advising each other and stuff. He is a website creator and made . Its pretty cool...I recommend checking it out. It has great nightlife suggestions and is full of ideas for things to do for whatever city you live in.
talking to women makes men thick
So last weekend my friends and I went to HWood. I knew a promoter so we got in for free and even got some bottle service.
We immediately started dancing. This pretty cute guy came up and we danced for about half an hour. He was with two dorky friends who were dancing with my friends. After a while I lost my friends and I decided to leave the cute guy to go find the girls.
A while later, I lost my friends again (this is story of my life) and looking around, the only person I recognized was one of the cute guy's dorky friends. So I went up and started talking with him. He was really sweet, nerdy for sure...a little socially awkward. But we had a pretty good conversation.
He friended me on Facebook and we continued talking about random stuff, until he finally asked me if I wanted to go out to dinner that night. I had just made plans to go to dinner and a movie with another boy, so I asked if we could do it Saturday.
So later that evening, he starts texting me, calling me "gorgeous" and "babe" and using really sappy language that I don't like at all. All of a sudden, he was acting all cocky and shit. I didn't understand it at all! Someone smart forwarded me the link to this article, , which talks about how attractive women make men stupid. I can only assume that I am the cutest girl who has ever agreed to go out to dinner with him....what can I say, I've always liked nerds...and he got nervous or something. But the way he was acting was totally a turn off and I ended up canceling the date.
I felt bad, but better he know up front than let him pay for dinner for me.

Doing My Part
Yesterday I went to West Vernon (one of the lowest performing elementary schools in the state) and facilitated and after school program teaching drama! It was really fun...the kids were adorable and it felt nice giving back in this way. I was surprised because the boys were the ones who were the most into it and were actually quite good. I expected the girls to be the ones who let loose a little more and the guys to be more awkward about things...but the opposite was actually true. Then later in the evening, I went to a literacy training program at West Vernon....I'm going to be helping out Monday mornings in a 1st grade classroom with reading. I think its going to be a lot of fun!
Sugar Rush in Austin Film Festival!
I'm so excited! The movie I worked on all last semester has gotten into the Austin Film Festival! I can't wait to go home and see it screen...its going to be AWESOME!
It Starts
Well I finally figured out what classes I'm taking and I am almost completely registered for everything! We had Monday off this week, which is nice. I only have 2 classes this week!
I've read 10 books in the last 7 or so weeks, pretty darn good!
I haven't been great about going to the gym, but at least I am going two or three times a week...its better than nothing for sure.
Don't know which screenplay idea I am going to commit to and write character bios for and a beat sheet for my screenwriting class! Ugh, gotta nail that down!

The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists
Well I have just finished my 9th book in about 5 weeks. I can't deny that I'm pretty proud of myself. I feel like I owe a lot of it to these new pills I'm taking. I hadn't realized how long it had been since I had actually finished a book! I used to read all the time, but for ages my concentration had been so bad because of anxiety and I just couldn't get through anything.
While it isn't the high-brow literature that I often gravitate to, Neil Strauss's "The Game" has been a fun little piece of entertainment and a bit of a learning tool. Although it may seem sexist outwardly, in the end the seduction process is really about making the guys themselves more confident and finding in themselves the interesting, fun, relaxed nature that has been there all along. The guys who don't discover themselves and leave the community by the end, are considered the losers in the book. They are basically social robots.
I'm kind of excited to go out into the real world and see if someone tries to "sarge" me. I totally called a guy who the other night by asking if he was "peacocking," which led to a fun conversation about the book. Guys have been really impressed that I've read it.
Of course, the one thing that disturbed me the most about the book, was the rule that the pickup artist never buys a girl a drink....I dunno about you, but that would never work for me. If I'm talking to a guy and my drink runs out and he doesn't buy me another one, I don't think he has enough interest in me or the conversation and I go back to my friends and maybe start talking to someone new. They aren't worth my time if they aren't enough of a gentleman to get me a drink.
