"Almost average" implies "close to above average", right?
I did poorly on my Prolog midterm. Not as poorly as I'd expected, but still poorly. I came in just under the average, which was 52%. The midterm is worth 25% of the grade. Doing the math, it means I wish I hadn't done the math.
Quite unintentionally, news of my poor performance led to my being rude to Colleen. I apologized soon after, but twelve hours later I still feel like an asshole for doing it.
On the plus side, I'm not as big an asshole as Michael Jordan.
My brain is filled with facts like "Michael Jordan is an asshole", which may be part of the reason there's less room for Prolog proficiency. Then again, I don't know how my brain is organized. Perhaps it's layered, like a layered software architecture: Data Storage on the bottom, Logic in the middle, and User Interface at the top. In such a case, "Michael Jordan is an asshole" goes on the bottom, writing good Prolog programs is in the middle, and my captivating eyes are on top.
On the Something Awful forums, some tiresome jerk started a thread about his dating rules. Reading his list, it's quite clear why he's single (errors not corrected):
- I work in New Meida. I study and apply my thoughts in media technology. You need to be able to converse in these topics.
- Conversation means being able to talk or learn about the things I’m talking about, not just listen. You should expect the same from me.
- If you find the following 'scary,' do not bother:
* Art, Math, Science, Engineering, Programing, Computers, SA's Alaska - No really, I won’t change for you. I may be perfect to you, you may love me, but I will not change my entire life for you.
- If you get the reference to the rule above, then there is hope.
- I’m not gay.
- I love musical theatre. See above.
- I graduated from Emerson College. See above.
- I don’t like sports. See Above.
- I can’t spell. Fucking deal.
- You need to be doing something wonderful with your life.
- I am looking for a woman to believe in me, and whom I can believe in.
- The following need not apply:
* Men of any form need not apply.
* Under 21 or over 29 NO EXCEPTIONS
* I voted not-Bush. Don't like it? Move on.
* Hard-core Red Sox Fans
* Hard drug users
* Born-again Christians
* * If two plus two equals Jesus for you, then there's something very wrong with you. - I have friends in many different backgrounds. My true friends are very important in my life. I'm not picky with the background of my friends. I want my mate to be as open.
- I find women who look good in corsets very sexy.
- Do not expect me to be your cash cow. Go post on Craigslist if you want a sugar daddy.
- Make a fucking decision!!!
- It takes a bit for me to start flirting with you physically. I’m very cautious of offending, so I need to make sure it’s welcomed.
- Physical attraction is mandatory. No exceptions.
- For anything sexual to occur, you must be disease free.
- Long-distance relationships will not work. No exceptions.
- When on a date and a committed relationship has not been established, do not take me to a clothing store.
- For a first date, movies, theatre, or any similar entertainment where I can not talk to the person I'm dating is forbidden.
- I drink. It's OK if you don't, but don't be a tool about it.
- If you tell me you like me when you're drunk, I can't fully beleive you. If you tell me the next day you meant it, then I will believe you.
- If you are waiting for marriage or engagement till you have sex, move on.
- All races are datable in my book.
- In order for me to have sex with you, you must have voted in the 2004 Presidental Election.
* If not eligiable for that election, waviers can be granted.
My rules
1. No means yes
2. Yes means in the butt
Love will survive!
