Well, its nice to have goals.

Thanks to Penny Arcade I have suddenly become aware of this video , and then some boring articles about not being a creeper that were nothing more than common sense, which, quite naturally, then led me to search for how to pick up girls at conventions, and led me to this crap.

I don't actually like conventions that much, but I did go to PAX once with an attractive female friend, and holy shit were the nerds annoying around her.  So why would I suddenly be interested in picking up girls at conventions?

Let me tell you a story.  Have you ever been salsa dancing, and watched some cute girl out there on the dance floor getting tortured by some guy that is just awful and doesn't quite know it?  Or even worse, thinks he's great and mistakenly blames the girl for any missteps*.  And have you ever asked that exact girl to dance immediately afterward, just so she can relax and enjoy the music before another retard begs her to let him shove around the dance floor for three minutes?

That's why.

Also, the nerd in one of the links up there said not to do it, so I feel obligated to put in on my bucket list.

Would be a challenge though.  I would probably need an attractive wing woman.  And I would need either a badass but subtle (enough to go outside with normal people)  costume, or not costume to show I'm normal, OR a ridiculously outlandish (and probably expensive) costume that would make girls come up to me.  And I need to accomplish this while I'm still young and single.






*let me share a gem of salsa insight with you:  when you are on the dance floor, everything is the guy's fault.  Everything.  Trust me;  if you have any other attitude, that girl will bitch about you to all over her friends,  who will start avoiding you.  On a related note, if you are a girl and you are ever around me and need to be rescued from a creeper, the secret codeword is optimus prime.





[Edit]
Forget all that.  Now I want to see if I can build an awesome computer desk.  I don't know anything at all about carpentry, or metalwork, or even desks, but I have a feeling I'm about to spend lots of money on power tools!!! :D
