GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Saturday, Nov 29, 2008

Yeah, I got my computer back the next day. Turns out that my mobo just died, so they replaced it with this new kickass-looking one! It doesn't have any fans apparently, just copper cooling pipes. Maybe I'll take some pics and post them later if there is sufficient demand.

I think I am going to break up with my girlfriend. I haven't seen her in like a month, and haven't really talked to her in like 3 weeks. I know the lack of communication is probably my fault, but I've been reflecting on this relationship stuff a lot lately, and I've come to the conclusion that I sorta rushed into things. The pressure from my friend and my newfound confidence were just too much I guess.

/facepalm

What I realized though is that I really like this other girl, Chelsea. I genuinely like her for who she is though (but she's really hot too ). I feel bad going out with the other girl while knowing that deep down I'm not really attracted to her, and am instead really attracted to Chelsea. My two friends that I talked to (not Andrew or Eli) said that I should break up with her and pursue Chelsea, and I think that's probably what I'm going to do. But I'm writing this so that you can maybe voice your thoughts/opinions on the situation (even though I didn't really give a whole lot of info). Keep in mind though that if I broke up with my girlfriend and failed to get Chelsea later, I wouldn't really be bothered by being single again. I didn't see its merits until I was no longer of that status I guess.

Song of the blog: Salieri Strikes Back by Warmen

I ****ing love this song! Please give it a listen, it's an instrumental.

Okay, there has been sufficient demand, so I have uploaded some pictures of my computer and new mobo:

Computer in the dark

Yeah I know, that last one's pretty sucky.

heh, bachelors life FTW

but seriously if you don't really like this girl then no point stringing her along, just makes it worse for both of you.

Yeah, if there's no connection its best just to end it...be tactful when do so though, it can come back and bite you in the arse....Id know.

As long as she doesn't have an older brother who enjoys boxing, you should be fine

Just end it. Prolonging it is just making it worse for the both of you when there are other opportunities out there.

@nutcrackr: Indeed! But yeah, you're right, there really is no point.

@Lairdo91: Gah! Yeah right now I'm trying to think of how exactly I should do it. My friend noted that the internet would be too cold, and in-person would be kinda weird, so I should probably do it over the phone I guess. But what to say...

Yeah I think (hope) she's an only child.

@Sajedene: Hey, haven't seen you around my blogs before!

But thanks, it's good to get a girl's opinion on this. I've made up my mind, and I'm going to end it. Now I am just thinking about what would be the most tactful way to do it.

Mobo's usually dont have fans.. the only fan is on top of your CPU, but that's not considered to be a Mobo fan Relationships are for the emotionally dependant. Single life is where it's at.

@The_PC_Gamer: Hey, you're back! I thought you had left GameSpot. Good to see ya man.

Anyway, ha! That shows how little I know about hardware. It still looks really sick though.

But yeah, I can't really comment on that last part. I haven't really had a true relationship yet, so I can't compare. I'll get back with you on that once I do though.

You player, you.

@msudude211: Hahahaha, what can I say?
Posted Nov 30, 2008 8:57 pm PT
you haven't spoken to your gf in three weeks? Ya..sounds like a break-up wouldn't hurt. Good luck with Chelsea

@horseyjesse: Yeah, we might as well not even be in a relationship with as much as we talk and stuff, so that's why I'm thinking it shouldn't be too much of a shock when I break up with her, but we'll see. But thanks!

Did you at least get some? Cuz you should get some and then break up, just to be mean and stuff. There's nothing sexier than a hurt feeling. Seriously.

And yes, you shall post a picture of your new mobo, because there is a demand for it. I demand it, and I know that's all you were looking for. Cuz I'm important and all.
Posted Dec 1, 2008 3:10 pm PT
My question is... what did you see in your current girlfriend... (other than looks)? But hey, if you have feelings for someone else, break it off. Please, do not do it in a text message. That is so weak. Anyway... this other girl... Are you sure you want to get into a relationship with her now? Aren't you like 17 or something? Because, if you are and you are going to college next year, and she's not going to the same college as you then... you might need to think about it some more before you ask her out. If you aren't going to college, then by all means... ask her! Unless shes going to college... then... Gah! I don't know! Do whatever you want!

*MM*

told you it's the mobo

@succulent_toes: I've always liked your sense of humor. Her and I did make out, but I don't know if that qualifies as "getting some".

lol! Actually, your demand for it was all I was looking for! I figured nobody else would care so I was depending on your demand.

@MistressMinako: Well, that's the funny (well, not really I guess lol) thing about it: I didn't really see anything in her (not even really looks to be honest. don't get me wrong, she's not like bad-looking or anything, but not really the type I'm looking for). I sort of did it because I could... which was really horrible. I was just so caught up in my newfound confidence, and then my friend was pressuring me so much that I just did it I guess. Plus, I had had a bit to drink that night, so that actually might have had something to do with it.

But yeah, I'm definitely not gonna do it via text or IM. I plan on just giving her a call.

Yes, I'm 17 (my b-day was in September). Well, you actually bring up a good point which I didn't really think too much about. I mean, I won't be starting (full) college until Fall of 2010. Knowing that, do you think that would be too little time? Plus, I'm planning on going to college in my hometown (I want to become a doctor, and UNM is really known for their medical stuff), although I don't know her plans (she's a sophomore).
Posted Dec 2, 2008 4:48 pm PT
@PredatorRules: Yep, you were right! I was hoping it wasn't though, because I knew the mobo would be expensive to replace.
Posted Dec 2, 2008 4:49 pm PT
Oh... Hmm... Well, I guess you could make it work, if you like to do the long distance thing if she moves away. But if you want to hold her and do... "girlfriendish" things with her at least a few times a week then... maybe you shouldn't? It's up to you. If it was me, I wouldn't try to get involved with people I met from school... the possiblity of you ever seeing them again... well, I know you should know that most of the people in your high school you probably wont see again. It's all up to you now. Hopefully, she will tell you... "I like you too Forerunner!" (Sorry, don't know your name.)
Posted Dec 3, 2008 9:59 pm PT
Well, she's a sophomore as far as I know (I could be wrong though), so if I went to college in town, then that would give it even more time.
As far as long distance relationships go, I've never had one, but I doubt I'd be into it, haha.

Actually, I didn't meet her from school. We met through some mutual friends, but yeah I get what you're saying. But then again, you can't take that reasoning too far otherwise what's the point of getting attached to anyone in high school?

Haha, thanks! Oh, and I'm John.
