I know this is neither the time nor the place to get into one of my huge, nerdy, gamer rants about games and the things that are wrong with them, but I was seriously thinking about this, not just as an excuse to look good for... girls, or anything, because you can ask my mom, I really have been complaining about this for years, and it just came up because I was reading this thing about Cortana from Halo... and well, I can't see how you could really go around thinking to yourself that Cortana is drop dead gorgeous, since she's mostly hologram and doesn't have a very definite bodily shape, except that you can always make out her... bosom. I think it's really painfully obvious that it's mostly guys designing video games, but that's been sort of a Captain Obvious statement ever since Lara Croft came out in 1996. I guess the question that I ask myself is, why does Lara Croft have to have such a large chest that it's nearly about to rip apart her shirt? I guess I can understand that they might just want to show that girls can be aggressive and fierce while still maintaining... 'sexiness,' but shouldn't people know that anyway? I don't like that so many of these video games feel the need to bombard me with virtual women in bikinis. It makes me feel like they know that I'm just a loser 16 year old kid playing video games in his room instead of... having social interactions with girls. Also, I just find it... WEIRD. I'm not attracted to 2-D people on my television screen... sorry, no video game is realistic enough.
I think I'm alienating a lot of people by only ever talking about video games or school, and that the only people that might comment are Dana, Larissa, and Lisa. The above opinion is my opinion, though. But I'm only a feminist up to a point where society raises women up, not to where it... brings men down. Is that selfish? I don't want everyone to think I'm misogynistic. Females are good. Without females, I wouldn't be here, and neither would any of you. On that reason only, I don't see how anyone could ever put down women, but that's only the beginning of the reasons. I don't know how my entry turned into a feminist rant when all I was doing 20 minutes ago was reading an article on Halo 3. Which I'm almost done beating for the second time. I'd be on my third or fourth at this point, usually, but, school and other things keep getting in my way.
Like how I've never had so many things to think about before. There's the ongoing thing with Dana, and just, well, being generally unsure how much she likes me, but then there's the most recent development of... Rhianne acknowledging that I exist. Which should make me really happy, I mean, it does, but it also makes me nervous because I don't want to make a bad impression, and maybe not being the first one to say anything to her was already making a bad impression. I don't want her to think I'm just some snobby kid from Manhattan. That's not me.

To be completely honest, I don't think a girl's ever liked me before. I don't wanna be... what's a good word.... presumptuous, about it, though, and I shouldn't even write any of this for fear that I could be wrong and look back on it and feel pretty stupid. I just never got out that much back at Hunter, and so mostly I just had guy friends and the girls who were friends with the guy friends who weren't into me but seemed to think I was... adorable. And they were nice but we weren't friend-friends. So this makes Dana the first girl who has seemed to actually like me for me and not for the guy she thinks I might be. That's a first for me. It'd be nice if I weren't so awkward in all of this, though, because first, she was the one to ask me on our date to see a movie, then she was the one to ask me to homecoming, and then she was the one to kiss me. But I swear I'll work up the courage soon to ask her on another date, because homecoming was a lot of fun... minus the encounter with some guy she knows named Kevin. That seemed awfully awkward, but I'm glad that I could help her feel better, and whatnot.
Homecoming was a good introduction to the ways of Abbott Academy. Of course, I would rather not be apart of the drama that goes on here, which is why I've been laying low and not writing any updates. Actually, that's not the reason, I've just been sort of busy with Halo 3 and wanting more cheats. I have gotten out of my room a few times, though--namely, for classes, to go to homecoming, to see "Good Luck Chuck" with Dana, and to study with Lisa for that evil history test. History really has been a terrible class so far, because our teacher like to speak monotonously, assign homework that has nothing to do with what we're learning, and then grade us meanly. I think the only way I can get through the class is by studying with other people, so I think this is my way of asking Lisa if she'd like to be my study partner for this class.
"Good Luck Chuck" was... pretty good, although a little strange. Dane Cook is pretty hilarious, but I think I just might prefer his original comedy rather than watching him in movies, because in his comedy, he's completely off the wall and always stumbling all over his words, and I think that might be what makes him so awesome, whereas in the movie, he has to just say his lines and can't do that, and well, I guess it just loses some of its Dane Cook-ness. Dana probably thinks I'm crazy for writing about "Dane Cook-ness," and she probably also thinks I'm overly critical. But I always enjoy hanging out with Dana even if we see really bad movies or have to suffer through sprinklers going off and not knowing how to Charlie Brown.
It'd be cool if Larissa showed her face.
