Dear Bunny,

I recently IM’d a friend of my girlfriend, just to be nice. I said “hello” and asked her how her weekend was. That was it. Her friend replied “hello,” but was then silent. Shortly after, I endured an hour long lecture from my sobbing girlfriend over the phone about how it made her friend uncomfortable that I would try to contact her at all, and that I needed to understand that her friends would never see me as anything more than their friend’s boyfriend, and that I shouldn’t ever try to reach out to them.

It is my belief that everyone, every decision, and every character ever created fits into one of the nine alignments layed out in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Dungeons & Dragons third edition. The nine alignments are: Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, (True) Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, and Chaotic Evil.

The alignments seem very straight forward but on a closer look the line that divides them gets very blurry. A characters alignment is based on their most common course of action and not on individual actions. Think of it like a RPG game with a morality feature, it takes time for your alignment to shift from good to evil and not just one mistake.

You know that moment when the checkout girl asks “How are you?” with that practised, hollow, melodic inflection & tone, looking up at you from their station with a labored soulless smile? I see through the aesthetic delusion, to the evident sadness that lies within their corneas, the timing of the rise & fall of the smile. But as the smile rises, there comes a moment of mathematic possibility in the way the corners of their mouths meet their cheekbones, and for a split second an entire world of individual personality is brought to life. I try to keep this window of a smile open, by encouraging it with my own genuine smile.

Beauty and perfection has never played a tag-team trick as cruel as this.

I’m known for saying ‘Pain is beauty’ as I literally run around Los Angeles in notsogentle heels.  And I curse the stars that I wasn’t born with heels on like my mother. And who didn’t grow up with the notion of Cinderella and the perfect pair of heels?

Now because I’m Asian and a woman, it basically guarantees that I should have a weird fascination with feet.

Fact:  In my youth, I read in an issue of Jane (do you miss the magazine as much as I do?) or maybe it was Glamour that depicted accounts of Asian women who were inserting steel rods in their ankles so they could be two inches taller.

Expanding upon the idea that geeky girls will develop a +1 to attraction when meeting a guy who isn’t afraid or doubtful of her interests in all things nerdy you can increase your stats even further by treating her like “one of the guys.” Now, I know this sounds A) weird and B) counter-intuitive to your ultimate goal of hooking up with a hot chick, but–trust me–most ladies of the geek persuasion will love it!

You’ve already heard me bemoan that dating is hard to do. But you know what’s even harder? Finding the time to go on the first date. [..]
