A tale…A revelation:

Ever since I was a young girl I have been terrified of escalators. I didn’t wanna go up em, and I sure as hell didn’t wanna go down em. Most of my youth was spent shopping on the lower levels of malls because I was too lazy to look for the elevator, and on numerous occasions I would get lost trying to find some way out of the way stair well that was intended for emergency’s only.
Because yes, it seems much safer to go alone into a stairwell in some dimly lit parkade than to simply use an escalator.
LOGIC.
I AIN’T GOT NONE>

Anyway, A few weeks ago I was going to be late for a doctors appt. coming off of work and didn’t really have the time to wait for the elevator, so I told my dad if he stood right in front of me we could try to go down it. I figured if he was right in front of me and I fell he would be the one dying and I would be fine, LOL.
My legs were shaky and I was a nervous wreck, but I took that first step and made it down safely.
We then started doing this every day after work to save time.

Then the opportunity arose for me to do it on my own. I was fucking hungry and wanted to get to the food court as fast as I could so I told myself " I am using the fucking escalator NO MATTER WHAT".
As I stepped up to it the little voice in my head told me not to do this, that this was too scary, and I’d be much safer just using the elevator.
My heart was pounding like crazy, but I ignored that little voice in my head and used the escalator anyway.
As of today <AUG. 21st, 2013> I have not yet died from the escalator, and every day it seems less and less daunting.

Perhaps I can compare my fear of bald guy rejection to my fear of the escalator. I gotta ignore that little voice in my head and just take that first step.
Who knows, maybe I’ll get hurt, but maybe I’ll arrive safely to the bottom.
If it doesn’t go according to plan maybe it will be easier the next time around and maybe eventually the fear will not even be there at all.

ALL THE GOOD STORES ARE ON THE UPPER LEVEL.
I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT.

Jenn,

I suggested this book before:

The whole thing is about how to overcome the deceptive messages that our brains give us sometimes.

Your story reminded me of it.

Great story, BTW.

DONE/GREAT

Boy am I ever fucking awesome at exercising, I tells ya…

So I was talking to a girl at work yesterday and I said something about how people on T-Nation think I’m cool and I wish I could be as cool in real life as I am on the internet. And she was like
“But that IS you!!”

I was like
“OMFG!!! IT IS!!!”

HOLY SHIT, one helluva light bulb went off with that comment.
It’s not as if I made up this fictitious character to be and write up lines for myself or some shit. I just type without inhibitions cause none of you are looking directly at me, LOL.

DECIDED
I know how I am going to get bald guy!! I am going to wooo him with my personality. LOLHAH What a fucking concept!!

I am going to say whatever stupid shit pops up into my head without over analyzing anything, and then he’ll have no choice but to fall in love with me!!!

She willlllll be lovvvvvvvvved.

So today his posse was leavin’ and I was like “It’s my birthday this weekend. You know what that means? I’ll be 27 and I still haven’t become a superhero yet. I thought that woulda happened by like 23 at least.”
BALD GUY LOL-ED!
Not fake either !! 1
Here are the degrees of laughter one can have:
Heh
haha
ha!
HA
HA!
HA-HA!!! <----Bald guy’s
HAHAHHA
HAHAHHAHAH!!OMGOMGONAHHAHAHAHHAHHALOLOLOLOL

Then bald guy said
“that’s very ambitious of you”

I was like
HAHAHHA

My laugh was one degree higher than his but it was only because my heart was fluttering at the same time so my pitch was like high or whatever, if that makes sense.

So we’ve come alone way, I figure.
Before we started talking he was maybe 2% woo-ed just by my existence.
After our greets it bumped up to 7%
Then our conversation about me being like one of those crazy people from a beautiful mind with my exercise routine papers written up, and re written up all over again, and how I’m considering posting them all over my walls. That bumped it up to 12%.
After today’s laughter it’s been bumped up to a whopping 19% WOO.

Once he reaches 47% he’ll be at his most vulnerable and I’ll go in for the kill.
HE’LL BE LIKE PUTTY
HAHAHHAAHHAHALOLO

BYE

184

Wooing him with your uninhibited personality sounds like a great plan - go for it.

And the laughter scale got a ‘HA-HA!!’ Out of me (ironically the same as bald guy Ryan)

→ Accurate, but I’m still saying not fair.

I was approaching the Bald Guy story line strictly from a Pattern Recognition stand point. Not realizing the extent of your personal dating history.
But since I last checked things have progressed; interactions, texts, drinks! Exciting developments Spock
Hope it goes well, and bald guy breaks the cycle of Spock gets crush → obsessively pines after said guy → Create a small connection → [YOU ARE HERE] ← maybe the pattern will unfold differently than I first overstated.
But from a woman to another my advice is have a fun evening, keep things relaxed, go with it naturally without projecting outcomes you have dancing around your brain, resist jumping to the sex too quickly, unless you are the aggressor of it. [as drinks and temptation can make rational decisions more difficult] in the event bald guy just happens to fall into the “lousy guys I pick” category. As you say "I don’t sleep around with strangers, even though everything ends up being just a one night stand. I truly cared for them all. They just did not care for me. ← Hope different and more positive results follow?

Yesterday was great! I got my hair done and stuff and I really like it and I went out with some friends for a bit, but I really hate drinking and I really hate the bar so I went back to my hotel at like 11 cause I’m old and was tired, LOL.

I had a dream that I was working for Jack White.
Not like in his band or anything, I was an advisor of some kind.
I was like helping him with his divorce proceedings or something, very weird.

I’m really freaking nervous to tell BG I have a kid :S.
I can’t neglect to tell him that, but what if it freaks him?!
I know, I know, then he’s not the right guy.
But like…
I wouldn’t even introduce my kid to anyone unless we were super serious
WHY NOT WAIT AND SEE!?
I am getting defensive before I even know if I need to be…
I’m going to wear my new chucks.
They’re nice and clean and make me feel like such a lady.

Ya, really good workout.

No actually AWESOME FUCKING WORKOUT, RAHH.

Last night was one of the funnest nights out in the history of my entire life. It was literally like 4 hours of laughing.
My face hurts.

There was talk of manatee’s, superhero’s, those hedges some people have that are shaped like animals, beef, lamb, pork, being picked on in high school, gargoyes, dogs, making fun of people at the gym, pull ups, building bird houses, the planet Saturn, the planet mars.

Oh, and normal stuff too. Like what we do for a living and what movies we like…

He’s like the most perfect person ever???

He likes kids!!!
He knows I have one!!! He knows I’ve never had a boyfriend and he knows that I got knocked up as a result of some poor decision making, too much to drink, and fucking a bouncer, LOL.
He knows I live with my mommy and daddy.
He knows I don’t drive and that my daddy drives me everywhere.
HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THOSE THINGS! :O!

He has the coolest truck ever and it makes me feel like I’m in a monster truck!!
OH YA AND HE LIKES GRAVE DIGGER ALMOST AS MUCH AS ME!!
He has a real grown up person job and owns his own house WTF HE IS ACTUALLY LIKE A MAN!!!
WHO IS INTERESTED IN ME???
HE FUCKING LIKES ME
AND RESPECTS ME AND Didn’t try to make a move on me !
!
!

!

He texted me a few minutes right after he dropped me OFffffffffffffffffffffffffff
.WHEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
AND HE’S funny!
