It's Christmas day today.

You know what that means?

Yes that's right kids, a full blog update!

Now I bet some of you are wondering why I'm updating now when I should be full of festive cheer and such.

Here is the essential problem with Christmas. Christmas forces me to spend "quality time" with my parents. Do you know what this means? Yes that's right, my parents pass the door of justice more times than on any other day of the year. And you know what this means? Yes that's right, no drinking myself into oblivion. This is a BAD thing.

But it does mean that my blog gets updated, restoring meaning to your insignificant little lives. Aren't you happy?

So anyway, I was asked by a friend of mine, just after he'd read the blog for the first time if I was as bad with girls as I claimed.

Two words for you.

Fuck yes.

Or perhaps, "lack of fuck," yes would be more appropriate.

But Raj you'll all shout, how can a confident, good looking guy such as yourself have trouble with women.

Well, it's a rather simple problem. So simple that I shall put it in Venn diagram form! (Ph34r t3h 1337 M4+h5 5KI115)

That's double maths well learned.

So, you may ask, what about girls that don't fall into every one of these categories? Why don't you go after them? Well the reason for 3 of said "circles" should be obvious. Nerdy girls however, that's an interesting one.

Here is the problem with flirting with or in my case failing with a non-nerdy girl. I've played games my whole life. While you were off buying MP3 players or playing sport I couldn't because my money and time were already being spent elsewhere.

It's the reason I rule so hard at games. It's not because you guys suck at them... well you really do but that's only because you're n00bs (Mara your Streetfighter wins were LUCK). However, aside from that, it's because I've played games all my life.

Girls who aren't nerds don't understand games, or geeky jokes, or what broadband is.

This leads me to a problem.

"So what kind of music do you like?"

Well shit.

For those that don't know, my music collection is tiny as I can't listen to music whilst I play WoW, as it puts too much strain on my CPU.

Here are my choices: Comedy rock, game music, wrestler's theme tunes.

Here are my choices which aren't horrifically nerdy:

If somehow I manage to dodge this silver bullet, we get onto the second problem.

"What sports do you play?"

The only sport I take part in is swimming. Here is the problem with swimming, it's essentially a guy swimming up and down a pool lots of times. You know what the problem with this is? It's possibly the most boring thing in history.

By this point any sane girl will have walked off.

But the crazy ones might keep at it, asking me about other mundane things.

I know nothing of mundane things except their gold piece cost in dungeons and dragons.

So to conclude. I am horrible with girls, it's not their fault. If I said that it was because they didn't see the glowing person inside I'd be some emo fag. Nerdery is all I have and while I'm incredibly good at it (good enough to make you worship my splendour) it makes talking about other, idiotic and pointless things, a helluva lot more difficult.

Merry Christmas (Which apparently is offensive to me. PC expressing my opinion instead of me! w00t!)
