The Boring Life of a Microbiologist

[Fencing Fool]

WOOHOO!! I just got CoT in the mail yesterday! Now my friends get to wonder where I am for a few days :D

Hmm, I was trying to think of something else to say to mark the momentous occasion of starting a blog, but that seems to be it for now.

Oh, wait. I do have one thing to say. THANK YOU!!! Wotism has really helped to open me up inside and get me moving. I used to be a complete loser, and now I'm only a partial loser :) I've made a lot of friends in the short time that I've been active on this site, and my life is better for it. All of you helped in one way or another, though special thanks go to satan and jUstIn for allowing me to make up my mind about a certain small issue ;)

This place is great.

http://216.40.249.192/s/cwm/cwm/spin2.gif Lab got out an hour and a half early today! Even though all the radioactivity procedures were annoying, the lab was so simple that we breezed through it. Now I have more time to play LOTR:TT. My roommate got it and that's all we've been doing. I do need to go to the gym sometime soon, though. I've been kicking myself over not starting a routine, but I never think about it while I have time.

Ok, so the concert last night could be summed up with a resounding meh. The first band was from on campus, so they brought in a whole bunch of people they knew. Once they finished, half the audience left. I was so embarrassed for the other band. I mean, they headline a concert, and everyone leaves after THE OPENER? Both bands played well, but to me it sounded like the same over and over again with different words. I was so bored by the end. Not at all like last week's.

Of course, I didn't join this club for the music. I don't mind doing the work and I enjoy the concerts (mostly), but Jenna is the only reason I did it. AND SHE NEVER SHOWS UP! :mad:

It's my own fault for not being more aggressive in going after her. I haven't done anything since I gave her those roses on Valentines Day. I can't expect her to just fall into my lap. But I'm starting to think that I'm aiming too high. This is my first time trying to grab a woman's attentions and I can't even find her, let alone get up the nerve to say something when she's around. Talking with you all has shown me that I am, indeed, capable of such a feat, but telling myself that when I have a chance doesn't seem to work. :(

Ok, perhaps that was a little TOO aggressive. Goddammit, if it's not one thing, it's the exact opposite. How do people live like this?

I went to library because there was a note on her door saying that whoever it was would meet her there. I figured that she would be studying and I was going to ask if she wanted to go to dinner. So, I get there and she and the whole rugby team are sitting at a table doing a fundraiser. So, after putting in a couple bucks I asked her when she was going, and she said that she was driving out somewhere with a friend. @#!$@!%#@$%@#$%@#%@$#%@#$%$#@!!!!! The one time I know I can even FIND her and she's going out. I said ok and started to walk away, then (and this may not have been smart) I turned around and asked when their practices were. She told me, but said that people watching them practice made the team nervous. I said something dumb like "It'll make you play better" and as I walked away, I said that I'd be at all their games, too.

*beats self in head with very, very large stick*

What the hell was I thinking?!?!?!? The whole team was watching us and they all have to know I'm interested after THAT! :furious: I don't think she'll appreciate my having broadcast my intentions in front of a crowd. Especially a crowd of WOMEN, who UNLIKE men, gossip constantly and can't keep themselves out of something like this, whatever Nynaeve says. :grumbles:

Maybe I'm overreacting. Maybe nothing bad will come of this. Maybe pigs can fly.

edit: PM's with advice, or comments on my stupidity, are welcome.

Well :( ........I guess :( ......... I should have expected that. I did, in fact. I knew it was going to happen from the beginning. It's just that I had this small, small hope....

As you may have guessed, any chance I had is now officially over. I was stupid, and went to her practice, even though she said not to. That's not the reason, though. She wasn't interested in me from the start. I apologised after she got back, and she said that she felt that she saw me all the time and it made her uncomfortable. Which is funny, because I felt like I never saw her at all. Anyway, she said the four deadly words: I need more space. There's no arguing with that. If she doesn't want me around, I won't be around. Actually, it kind of sounded like she thought I was stalking her or something. Maybe I was, I don't know. I won't now though. If I see her by chance, I won't even talk to her unless she says something first.

I couldn't let her go without saying that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, because she is. Maybe that wasn't a good ideam but I had to say it. Even as she was shattering my hopes, I was still drowning in those eyes of hers. :( :) :mad:

:furious: :furious: :furious: WHY DO YOU WOMEN DO THESE THINGS!!!!! :cry:

Sorry, I had to let that out. In a way, it's probably better that it happened. I was going about it entirely the wrong way and it was getting me nowhere. Now, I have "Thou shalt not half ass thy way through love" burnt into my brain. Next time, it's all or nothing. I can't be angry at her, I can't force her to like me, so I'll just be angry at myself for being stupid. Then....who knows.

Maybe now I can stop thinking about it so much. :(

lol, I just looked back at my previous posts in this thread. If you told me then what would happen to me at Pennsic and beyond , I would have said you were full of shit. My head is still spinning with the ever more wonderful revelations given to me yesterday. I have no idea why all of this is happening to me now, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. A thousand thank you's to everyone involved. :)

Ok, here's what you've all been waiting for. I've found my story could use a little trimming of the excess, so here's the short version. ;)

I was at a two week long SCA event called Pennsic, where we dress up in medieval/Rennaisance clothes and do medieval/Rennaisance activities. After fencing all morning on the second Monday, I went to the classic swimming hole to cool off. The classic is clothing optional, so everyone there was in the nude. To feel less like a sleaze for just sitting there watching the women, I joined a group that was passing around a beach ball. They were also passing around jugs of mixed drinks. I never drank, but I decided to start then. :) The next day, I did the same thing, and got really plastered. On the third day, a man came up to me as I was drying off and asked how I was after being drunk for the first time. Then he said that the women of his camp were looking to kidnap me. Apparently, while telling everyone that it was my first time being drunk the day before, I also told them that I was a virgin, and the women were interested. I asked him which camp he was in and where it was, then I left.

I went to the Men Without Pants party that night depressed over another woman, but I don't like parties that much, so I only stayed long enough to get close to being drunk. I went to the camp that the man had told me about earlier in the day. He was there, along with another woman I had seen in the classic. They invited me in and we talked for a while, mostly about me. :blush:

Finally, the woman stood up, said, "All you need is a gentle tutor", and began to kiss me. After a bit, I asked, "Are you sure?" She nodded, and we went back to her tent.......

This is where the story takes a major, mind bending twist. We finished a couple of hours later, and laid down exhausted. After hearing voices in the camp, my lady said, "My husband is back, I have to check on him. Where do you want to sleep tonight?" A bit dazed from the drink and having just lost my virginity, said that I wanted to stay in the tent, and it was only after she left that I processed that she had a husband. When she came back, I asked, "Is he ok with this?" and she said, "Oh yes, he loves the idea of me deflowering a virgin." Her husband was unable to sleep without my lady by his side, though, so I had to return to my camp, all the way across Pennsic, at 5:00 in the morning.

I had to get up at 8:30, though, because of the sun. There was really no place to go but back to the camp. I spent most of the day getting to know the camp members, but I was incredibly tired from the night before, so I laid down in the Tent of India, an open sided pavillion with rugs and pillows inside, right in the middle of camp. My lady laid down next to me, and after a while we began to get each other ready again. :) Her husband returned, and she asked him if he would like to join us later. I was ok with it, so an hour or so later, we had a threesome in her tent. :D

Our last adventure was that Friday night. She and I were in her tent, at night, with a (strategically placed) lamp on. As the hours went by, we heard more and more voices coming from the direction of the nearby road. When we finally finished, the crowd erupted into applause and laughter. :)

You can thank the microbiologist in me for that horribly dry rendition of events, but it's just no fun without all the details. :)Plus, I'm on a time limit here, as class is about to start. That was the best week of my life, and it deserves better, but I'm in a daze at this point, most likely induced by lack of sleep. If you want more, feel free to pm me. ;)
