Ice, yes, geeks do rule the world. I was a geek to the core in high school and college.

Max, why are you so surprised that is my real name? What did you think it was? Now I am going to find you on Facebook.

Rick, I am not gonna smack him...yet. Not until he hijacks one of my Facebook posts rambling on about useless stuff... Then I would smack him.

And Max, I am gonna come visit you. And we are gonna go out. So you can practice interacting with a girl and I am going to give you feedback. And another stupid thing that girls (and guys) do, if they see a guy out with another attractive, fun girl, they get all weird and stuff and want that guy. It's like a competition thing. Dumb but people do it. I even had a guy friend tell me that once. We were dancing at a club and he told me we have to go out more often because I was a "babe magnet". Ok, whatever...

so, i walked out of pepboys, after purchasing gear oil for ingrid. a sport bike accelerates from the intersection, obviously over-revving. i don't know what it was, but definitely an in-line four. a puff of smoke comes out, then a full on cloud as it goes down the road, the driver shifting gears, belatedly. i get on the SS and start in the same direction. the driver finally notices, at the next light, that his bike is pouring out smoke. he makes his way to the shoulder. i get on the freeway an go home.

i've seen cars and bikes smoking like this, but i've never witnessed the catastrophic failure. i am betting rings, as the bike continued running without much change in sound nor did parts of internals come flying out of the block.

The Formula Electric meeting was short tonight. Talking mostly about a few tuning things that need to be worked out from what was found during testing and then lots of travel/shipping stuff. I walked tonight since it was wet and I did not wat to get soaking on the bike. So I walked and brought an umbrella.

On the way back I saw one of my better friends, who happens to be a girl. I walked some with her and talked. We had a nice, normal, meaningful conversation. Mostly about engineering/school stuff but also our goals for careers and our interests. I've talked to her before like that. I don't have a problem talking to girls. It's just girls that I don't know (and who I want to know).

I feel lots of conflicting things right now.

I really should not be surprised about this following thought though. It goes back to the same thoughts as "never meet your heroes" or "the grass is always greener on the other side."

On the one hand it seems the more I talk to girls I think look great, the more I feel that interest waning. I still feel awkward and like I am crossing some line about not approaching someone better looking than you.

On the other hand, the more I talk with my friend who is a girl, the more I realise that that is what I am looking for. I feel more attracted to her because of the companionship. I feel like I am letting a great opportunity escape me. That I am ignoring something special that is right in front of me. That maybe physical beauty is not absolute. It is all in what I see. And my perception of what I see can change.

Why can't I talk like that with girls I am physically attracted to?
