Negative Points

Well this is awkward. How long have I been absent from One Part Funny One Part Nerd? I have definitely lost points for my absence. And that's fine, I deserve it. These fake points I assign myself and to others, based on nothing else but the funny, cool, and nerd factor systems (which are also arbitrary and change depending on the now) are just there to make life a little more interesting, like a game (with no extra lives).

Clearly I lost points because of the funny factor because I haven't written anything funny nor is it funny that I haven't written.

On the nerd factor, I lost points for the same reasons as funny, I simply haven't written or done anything worthy of nerd points.

And let's just face it, my cool factor has never seen levels even close to Grandma-bridge-club cool. 

I do have an excuse for my absence, like a note from a doctor or parent excusing you from PE. Now, I don't really care if you don't think it's an acceptable excuse, this is my blog and not yours.

I have been busy sending my resume here and there, doing phone and Skype calls with this number and that screen name, and going on interviews over here and over there. I have been running around like a chicken with a diploma and no head, your 20-something standard. A chicken in slacks, a blouse, and a shoulder-padded power jacket: something stoner-college-chicken-me does not recognize. That chicken inside my head (which, by the way, I don't have) is laughing at me when the sweat starts leaking out of my body as the interviewer simply asks for me to take a seat. And that chicken is roaring with laughter as the sweat waterfalls down my spine with each question. As the interview ends, power-jacket-chicken-me as no idea how it went, well or hell. Is the joke on me? It must be: a chicken in heels? That's funny. 

Who knew you could lose at your own game based on your own distribution system with fake points which only you assign? And it's not like I have forgotten my blog, I guess this thing called life keeps getting in the way. I have drafts on drafts, ideas on ideas, for the blog. So if we count theoretical points, I'm in the lead. I'm the queen of fake points.
