Miserable as single

I must say I don't at all enjoy my status as single, which I've been now since February.

My (now) ex and I were together for about two years, of which we lived together for the past eight months. Despite our differences and arguments I have never been as proud as when I had her in my life. I confronted her with this the last time we spoke, the same day we decided not to have any further contact at all. Her response was, "what, like a galleon figure?"

I tried to explain to her that it was a matter of feeling belonging, of having found a girl I cared for, someone I actually imagined spending the rest of my life with. Well, she obviously had other plans.

I really do have to find a new girl to care for, because single life just isn't my thing. For that matter, neither is one night stands, I find myself repeatedly missing having someone in my arms while watching a movie, or just sitting and talking more than sex itself.

Of course, to find a new girl I have to listen to Brad's guidelines, which he posted in a comment on another blog of mine. I still fail #1

Brad’s n rules for meeting chicks for geeks

1. In order to meet girls you have to actually go outside and meet girls in places where girls are likely to hang out. Think of it like a directory on your harddrive. You have to go to the music directory to find music.

I'm not a very outgoing person, actually, I'm a very little outgoing person. If I find a girl at a club, I can be fairly sure that she isn't the girl for me, unless she is the one looking exceptionally bored in a corner. I actually even signed up for a matching site the other day, I have nothing too loose. The only thing I could've lost would've been my dignity, but somewhere in the breakup the ex got away with what I had of that.

Summer vacation progressing

My summer vacation progresses, with the company of my cousin from out of town that is attending a summer internship with Earnst & Young.

I completed the form to enroll to Law school today, well before the deadline to send it in at 4th of August. This comes in addition to the business school I'm primarily attending at the Norwegian School of Management, where I'm on my way for a Masters of Science in Business and Economics, with a major in Finance.

I still haven't found a new girl to care for after the breakup with the significant other in february, so should probably put some effort into that throughout the summer, at least there is an oasis of possibilities right across the street. That dorm house is fairly nicely located.

So for everyone else, maybe except for the ex, eh 🙂 have a good summer

Retirement from IRC

This is just a little notice that although people doesn't find me around on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) anymore, where I have been rather active for several years, I'm still alive.

I have been active on IRC for nearly a decade, and at one point it just got enough. People in different channels are tired of me, and I'm tired of them.

Those who knows me well enough and still wants to keep in touch, they have my email address, MSN address, or some other means of contacting me, otherwise I have a contact form on my primary website.

I have been active on multiple IRC Networks throughout time, but primarily Undernet, where I've been difficult not to spot in channels such as #asp, #linux, #html, #sql, #mysql and numerous others throughout time.

I've been through good times and bad times, including one regular over many years dieing of a brain tumor, spending her last days on IRC from her sickbed in the hospital, on borrowed laptop and a dial-up connection.

So long and thanks for all the fish
