I don’t know how you classify this “thing” I have, but I think it’s like a mini-crush or something. Not the ultimate, obsession crush, but what I might categorize as trivial infatuation. I have these feelings for a girl at school, and life can be rough at times seeing as how she is only in one of my classes, and she doesn’t talk to me much. Well, actually she doesn’t talk to me at all. So really, I’m just a creepy guy who likes a complete stranger.
Last week, however, the stars aligned. She sat one seat away from me. I was all nervous and giddy… ok, I’ll be a little more honest, I better upgrade this crush from trivial infatuation to good vibrations (I will release a love scale one of these days). I listened into her conversation with a friend. Not so much because I am a stalker, maybe a mild stalker, but I only listened because I had nothing better to do:
Girl I Sort Of Like: “Do you know Chad Garret?”
Friend of GISOL: “Chad? You mean Chip?”
GISOL: “YES!”
FofGISOL: “Yeah, he’s a goof.’
GISOL: “We used to play Mario Kart together -”
At this point, my heart raced. I love Mario Kart. I played it when I was a young teen, and I still play it to this day. She had to be the perfect girl for me. The opportunity to make my move presented itself: I put my seize the day socks on and interrupted the conversation:
Me: “Mario Kart? I LOVE that game!” I exclaimed. I must have been a little too excited.
GVG: “Really? My boyfriend and I play it all the time.”
I’m glad to see it’s not just me that freaks out when I find out a girl I like can and likes to play video games.
Ryan, you need to quit posting under Greg’s name.
awwww, poor greg….someday your girl will come along…a gorgeous, dirty blonde, green-eyed beauty and she’ll play mario kart (she’ll beat the pants off you, of course….unless you turn into “heartless bastard” greg and throw red turtle shells at her and knock her completely off course….but she isnt bitter) AND Battlefield, one of the best games ever….and then you’ll find out she’s got the hots for one of your roommates…er somethin’.
A Girl that can play video games, is what I call an upgrade in their attractiveness level. There are many upgrades in life…you just have to find the girl that has the most upgrades that fit you. Okay too many rpg’s for me.
Shannon, are you trying to say you’ve got a thing for Ryan?
you guys are funny. i never thought that just by playing/liking video games, a girl could be that much more attractive.
It doesn’t hurt, I’ll admit that
and brad, my eyes are blue, remember?
I agree with brad, it doesn’t hurt. It also wouldn’t hurt if every once in a while you’d let me plug a controller into your back and we could play “Super Housewife: Daddy’s Back.” My favorite move is B-B-A-Turbo-Half-Circle + X. It’s a special move that you should only use when the “enemy” has a lot of “dishes” that need to be “washed.” This turns the heroic housewife into “The Dishwasher” and afterwards, her powers can be used to “stain fight” in the “laundry room.”
