I want to begin by saying I had options: I could have chosen an easier difficulty level, even ultra-violence would have worked. There are plenty of nice, moderately sane girls out there who I could have dated. But no, I willingly chose nightmare mode. I went for the unstable, completely batshit-crazy girl who taught me what it truly means to experience Hell on Earth.

I've got a thing for baristas, I can't help it. Unfortunately finding a segue from "tall americano" to "HOLY CRAP YOU'RE HOT" isn't as easy as it might seem. Flirting with a stranger is undeniably daunting: you risk rejection, embarrassment, or just plain feeling creepy. It's not hopeless, however - there are ways!

Thanks to Taloan for contributing this blog entry. Simply writing: “ur hot” - Compliments are great when included in a letter, but when the compliment

Being a geek in 2007 is nothing to be ashamed of, the stereotype that once existed is long gone and there are several characteristics of geek culture that could almost be considered chic. Consumating, Threadless, or even Apple are pretty good testaments to this fact.

First impressions are sensory. Take the time to clean up before the date: take a shower, trim your facial hair, wear deodorant, and don't wear wrinkled clothes.
