Stop reminding me that I should look into grad schools. I like having monies and paychecks and eating more substantial things than ramen.
Know what's awesome?
1) Not having to apply to grad school til Dec. 2009.
2) Having a girlfriend willing to work while I'm in grad school so we don't starve/starve our potential children.
Mumble grumble. At least I have more than half a year of prep, but I still don't even know where to look for what I want to specialize in (which I also haven't figured out). Aside from wanting to get into Yale, since I'd probably be able to retire at 26.
So there's this girl (feel free to skip to the next post now) we were like getting along really well. Almost dating but not quite although we did the things that lovers do etc. Shit was pretty sweet, then we lost contact for a few months being at different schools and all. We did a lot of the I miss you bullshit and that we need to be in the same town again. I get back in town, she tells me things are going well and that she's still single and can't wait to see me.
Then cold shoulder. She told me to call her the next day and we'd hang out or whatever and that's he last thing i've heard. Should I ever try to figure that shit out or should I just forget any of it ever happened?
Oh and I was kidding about the lonely thing earlier. I'm just bad with relationships. Really really bad.

Yeah, I haven't even really started yet. I have two papers that I might develop into writing samples but honestly I'm not sure. One might become a paper for a undergraduate seminar thingy in April. I think applications are due on Feb. 15th so I should probably get cracking.

I think, when she told you to call her the next day
that was the cue for you to call her.
Dumbass.
And that's love advice from Church. Because that's how Church does love: hard and fast.
Are there are side-scrolling Metroid games on the DS?
Yeah, two. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. Plus it plays GBA games, and the GBA had a shittonne of Metroidvanias from both the Metroid and the Castlevania franchies. Metroid Fusion, if I remember right. The DS has Metroid Prime: Hunters, one of the Prime games ergo FPS-ish. Oh, Megaman ZX is kind of the same kind of game as those, too. And fun. And New Super Mario Bros. is actually pretty damned slick itself.
Since H/A is a shithole, I have a serious girl question for you.
My girlfriend's father passed away from a heart attack some years back (I don't think she ever said exactly how old she was, she was in high school though and is now 20). Today (Tuesday) is the anniversary of said death. She cried a bit last night about it, I know she was very close to him.
I really don't know how to help make her feel better. I know I should try and take her mind off of it but the easy solution of going out to eat has been done a lot lately since we've both had a little extra scratch -- it doesn't seem 'special' enough.

I should have clarified. I did. She never responded. I did the next day and nothing. Then I sent her a message asking what exactly was going on and I never got anything. It's like she found out I was a terrible evil person between the time she told me to call her and when I called.

Suggestions?
I hear you. My wife's dad died of a heart attack when she was in her teens.
Other than being sympathetic and such you can't really make it better. Reminisce about the good times and respect her loss.
Tangentially she might appreciate demonstrations that you are taking steps to care for your own heart.

Maybe you should get off your ass and go see her.
Yeah that's kind of my question. Is a sudden cold shoulder out of left field a sign to just walk away?

If you're going to go with taking her mind off it or whatever, would it be too normal for you to prepare a really nice meal, not going romantic I'd say but just really nice? Alternatively, the opposite direction, watch a couple movies and stay home together and order chinese or pizza. Whatever. There's not a magic-solution, anything could help, everything might not, basically what matters is that you're around. I think. I don't really have any idea.

Yeah, I started doing that when I made the connection a few months back. I'm not exactly the slimmest of folk but the doc says that I'm decently healthy (a few years back, though). I've started to eat better and take better care of myself and I really do hope she sees that.
The last thing I need to do is fucking die on her. Just the thought of that gets me misty.

It wouldn't be way too normal to make dinner since I haven't in the past few weeks but the movies/order out isn't a bad idea. That's normal for the last few weeks but we haven't really been watching that many movies. We've been watching Freaks and Geeks together so maybe a few episodes of that with a dash of SuperBad might do the trick.

So you said "yeah", but the answer is no?
Note that I already have a GBA.
No, the answer is yes. You're fussing over an artificial distinction, like a pleb.

NO GO SEE HER YOU FUCKING DUMBASS.
Now go back to the really really bad at relationships thing, because this is like week old news. It was just bugging the shit out of me since i'm about to go back to campus.

Well I asked if there were any side-scrolling Metroid DS games
And you said "Yeah, two. Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow and Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin."
So, given that Castlevania is not Metroid, the answer, from what you've said, would be no.

Fine. Just give up and let her go find some other guy.

She's going to have sex with me instead. Tonight. In exchange for a medium pepperoni pizza.

Goddamn it Church.
edit: VC, i'll have sex with you for a small sausage pizza. I'm a better lay, I would know.
No. Castlevania is not Metroid just like Neverwinter Nights is not KOTOR. They are different.
No, Castlevania is not Metroid just like the Towncar is not the Crown Vic. They are superficially different and only superficially different.
Besides, Megaman ZX is also a Metroidvania. Obsessing about the branding is something stupid teenagers do to denote sufficient conformity within their chosen cult.
Let the record show that hard and fast was entirely successful.
If she does end up telling me that i'm just a shitty person and my seductive charm and enticing pheromones finally wore off i'm coming for you Church. To cry on your shoulder, then, maybe eat some ice cream and watch a movie.

I think it's more like the love of another human being is absolutely crucial to my survival.

Metroidvania is Metroidvania.
Just funny. Not ready-made jokes or anything, but improvising during class. Got more than a couple of laughs out of me.
