Icarus's blog: "Hurts to watch."

created on 09/21/2009  |  http://fubar.com/hurts-to-watch/b309843

Alright.
Today started on a high note since I had a Hall and Oats song stuck in my head.
And I may have dance to my cube.

And I may not have had an hour long panic attack like I did Wednesday.

Woo! Inordinate amounts of pain and discomfort for an extended period of time.
But man coming down from that adrenaline was awesome.

Anyway

I feel like I'm being pulled two ways right now.

For one there's She.
For two there's she.

And right now, she seems more receptive to my advances than She, and she is unattached.

So I struck up a few conversations with she, and she kept pace.
I was impressed.
Conversation led into movies.
I saw an in, and I said something noncommital that basically opened the invitation to viewing movies together.

Now...
I don't know if what I'm doing qualifies as flirting
I'm pretty sure it does though in the most chaste, rational and mature way I've ever seen.
And I think
I just offhandedly asked a girl out.
In that not-quite-a-date capacity.
Feelers. Y'know?
Suck part
I responded to the email she sent me AS she was out the door.
So.
I'm not going to get an "OMG that'd be great" or "I dunno... hairs needs washing"
for a while.

I'm approaching with cautius optimism.

But I can't help but get three steps ahead of myself and say
"while I like she... I can't in good conscience tell she that I don't -really- like She."

I mean, its not like I'd ... cover up several months of lonely, despondent prose if it came to that.
And that's at least a phase 5 problem and I'm tentatively at phase 0.5.

One thing's for damn sure
I need to clean my house and bop my dog on the head if there's gonna be girls comin over.
Oh... and figuring something out with my RAT ass couch :/

Yeah yeah yeah... gettin ahead of myself.

This could be fun though.
College educated, clever, refined, bookish, movieish, and shy.
She might not be my pace, but she might be my style.

Ano... in the mean time
I managed to bankrupt my character on fallen earth with a set of upgrades and a new rifle.
Sucky thing is, it requires advanced gunpowder to make the bullets... and wood components for the stock that were worth more than buying the gun whole.
But I do hurl death from a great distance now.
Things will work out better once I have bullet manufacturing down and I get clear of a stronghold.

Also, I've set my sites on my next model
(no... I haven't decided on Kampfer or Gouf to build first)
to purchase.

The Zeta Gundam.

I always liked the overall design and aesthetic of this unit
but
I'm already planning an alt color scheme.
The Zeta can run anywhere from 45 to 55 while its mass produced (and fucking identical counterpart) the Zeta Plus can run about...
26.

Both are MG kits, the Z Plus is noncanonical mass produced, has a flat grey finish (which actually benefits me) and features a different beam rifle, and full transformation into waverider mode

translation

its less popular so it is cheaper.

The one drawback I'm finding with it is that
... I'm not seeing any beam sabers or extra equipment.

Not a massive loss in the long run, especially if it
saves me $30
and grants me less basecoating

but... that bears looking into. The only evidence is the clear blue plastic runner, they usually reserve that clear plastic for beam effects. There's no indication on the parts list or instructions.

Uh, anyway,
you'll hear more on these topics I'm sure.
Y'know... girls and robots.

-------------------

Bottom center- I'd say that's a pretty clear indication of beam sabers... but hell it could be jet exhaust.

and there we have it

 

So... pink beam sabers and the classic Gundam color scheme that I'd likely paint over

or

same fucking kit different beam rifle, blue beam sabers, flat factory color that I'd ... likely paint over

 

... real brain buster :B
