1153 Miles and The Weekend.
Monday, October 03, 20051153 Miles:
Thanks for your words of encouragement on the earlier post about Orientation Girl. However, I think there's one big detail you missed: 1153 Miles. That's the distance from where I Live, to where she lives. Grand Junction, Colorado, is damn near the western edge of CO and that 1153 miles makes for a 17 hour drive. While going through the mountains may be pretty, I'd have to drive through Iowa AND Nebraska to get there. No offense to Iowans or Nebraskans, but those states, like all the plains states, are B-O-R-I-N-G to drive through. Even if she moves to Denver, that only lops off about 200 miles and about 4 hours. The chances of us living anywhere near each other in the near future is pretty slim, so that makes much of anything pretty hard.
In defense of myself, I have made attempts to push things along before. If OG ever pops on here she could vouch for that. She's a tough nut to crack, but I have tried.
Anyway, just wanted to add that since several people left comments about the whole thing.
As side note on the female situation here in Slackerland, The Out of Leaguer stopped by the blog and left a comment, and I still do have plans to go out with Lotus Girl sometime this week before kickball, so we'll see how that goes.
The Weekend:
It was a simple, yet nice weekend. Friday I went out with G-Spot and some other people to Oktoberfest and had some nummy German beer. Gotta love the authentic stuff. We just chilled out and chatted, a nice relaxing evening.
The rest of the weekend I spent driving and visiting my friend D up in Bemidji, MN. I'm convinced that name was made by someone shivering while they were trying to say something else, and it just stuck. Bemidji is about 200 miles NORTH of the Twin Cities area. It's up there. I joked to D: "So have you made the drive to Canada yet? It's what? 6 blocks?" hehe.
Anyway, we chilled on Saturday and played some Playstation before hitting the local bar. Apparently it was a good night to be at that bar. Typically like most small bars, the population is usually about 2-1 guy/girl. Saturday there was a big bachelorette party and a lot of other ladies there. Unfortunately D is the shy type and not a very good wingman.
Flirted with this one girl for w bit before we mosied on over to another bar. After we were at the new place (which was freakin packed by the way) the same girl and her fiend showed up. Flirted with her a bit more. I'm fairly certain depending on the friend (Depends if she was playing babysitter, or helpful friend) that this could have gone somewhere, but I let it go. After D (Who also used to live with Big Mike) and had spent all day talking about how Big Mike is man whoring right now and also since I was a guest at D's place, I decided it would just be rude to hook up when he's still working on meeting people there. The nice guy won out because I didn't want to make a nicer guy feel crappy.
Anyway, we golfed on Sunday. I managed to get my score on 9 holes down to 60. Still pretty bad, but slowly improving. Chilled and watched some football, then I headed home.
A nice weekend, a lot of driving, but nice anyway.
So that brings us to today. I'll have to call Lotus Girl later tonight and see when she wants to get together. That and watch the Pack hopefully get a win against those little kitties on Monday Night Football. Yup.
See ya'll.

yeah... I'm calling big fat bullshit on the OG. Bullshit wimpy-ass excuses, that is.
Oh well... sounds like neither of you are really that into each other, cause if you were, you'd look between your legs and see that those balls are there for a reason and take a chance.
hmmm... that came off a bit more sexual than the tough-love I was going for.
I'm personally still thinking you should man-up and make a go of it, but alas... tis not my life.
just don't let something good fizzle out into the friendship oblivion... that would be a shame. -

We have a big Octoberfest celebration at a little German town here. Not for a couple of weeks though, but I plan to go an indulge in the good stuff...
Kira's right - the distance thing can actually work. My sister is now married to a guy she met who lived across the country. -

Pieces - See watching Golf, not so fun. Playing Golf however is pretty fun :O) Missed ya too.
Sunny - See, I don't do long distance, I need the contact. Tried it a few times at it jsut doesn't work for me.
Kira - Yeah like I said, i jut can't do it. I guess to me, seeing each other once every couple months and talking on the phone a bunch jsut isn't a relationship.
Carrie - I think years of getting shot down kinda has me gun shy ya know?
Amy - So did he get the concussion while on the date? Or did he skip out because of that?
Jaded - Gotta Love real German beer :O) It might work for some people but not so much for me.
Tay - OG and G-spot are good friends so it's not likely to come from them, but I do need to get some ;O)
Tay - Nah didn't make you sound like that, more like a Net Domanatrix ;O)
Pieces - Nah, I say Y'all here and there. Not sure where it came from. And hey now, no fighting, how about a threesome? ;O) hehe -
