maybe i should have qualified that more to say "in this area, that aren't married".

[huckfinn.livejournal.com]

He's almost not married and is only ten hours away. You have to lower your standards!!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

i didn't mean he was married just that is a problem that comes up too.

and 10 hours is a long way.

plus he is canadian

[huckfinn.livejournal.com]

Ten hours = seconds when it comes to matters of the heart.

The Canadian thing, though. Whooo. Can't get around that one.

If I were cute enough, she'd make the trip. Yep.

Maybe if I were MORE married.

Thank you, I was about to feel insulted ;p

[bertine.livejournal.com]

yeah, i so said that wrong. LOL

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

you're even better at bertine-matchmaking than i am.

i told her if the new guy in the office wasn't my type, should could have him. she can totally have him.

[huckfinn.livejournal.com]

It's a gift. I can't just turn it off.

. . .

I think she should marry your new co-worker.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

nah, i think not.

anyways, i don't want to get married.

[f-o-n-y.livejournal.com]

agreed. i'll go buy the invites to the engagement party.

[watashi-no-desu.livejournal.com]

Ya know, he spring to my mind first, too!

I never knew he was married!!!

[sacramentalist.livejournal.com]

Ow!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

sorry!!!

You just need to start hanging out at more Star Trek conventions and AnimeCons. Stay away from the FurFests though. Those can get a little...messy. Or so I saw on CSI once.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

sigh, that is dorky, not geeky.

[woodoo24.livejournal.com]

doh...I always get those 2 confused. Plus I've never been to a Star Trek convention cuz they're...well...dorky. No really...

I'm starting to believe the worlds of geeky boys and geeky girls just aren't meant to collide. When I started my current gig 5 years ago there were 85 bonafide, certified (CCNAs, CCNPs, Solaris Admin, Fore LAN Engineers, even a CCIE...no cheesy Microsquish certs) geeks in my group. Of that number only one was a female.

Where is it that all the geeky girls hang out these days? I've seen them on the internet so I know they do exist. (I hope that wasn't just a Geeky-Girl Bot I was chatting with last night on IRC!) Do they have a Geeky-Girl Con I could attend?

p.s. I'll be in Va. Beach on wall-knocking-down weekend so I will not be able to attend. Have fun though.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

there aren't that many bonafide geeky girls out there. it doesn't help that many of us hangout on the internet but not many other places.

there should be a con. i wouldn't go though, neither would jenni. LOL

sad! though i knew planning it on that weekend was problematic. :\

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

...Maybe your not looking in the right places...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

yeah, i suppose i should leave my house more often, though with a larger space, better internet and a new computer i don't see that as likely.

[sand-in-my-soap.livejournal.com]

but there's always the computer store...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

aka, the interweb?

[watashi-no-desu.livejournal.com]

One day you're going to have to lower your standards, go for cute OR geeky.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

nah, i like being picky.
