Poor baby!

4 years. No, I am NOT BITTER.

Try 26 when I first seriously dated somebody. :P Close enough to 27 --
we started going out a week or so before my birthday.

This break's been around two and a half years now. I only care some of
the time, though, and I'm trying to keep busy enough that that's a
minimal amount.

I was joking about this turning into aus.geek.dating

I guess others weren't joking.

:P

Ooh, owies. And I CAN count to 1023 on my fingers. 1024 if I start at one
instead of zero. Be wary...

I didn't understand that number, it had digits other that '1' and '0'

Oh, so you want one of those bad jokes, do you?

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand
binary, and those who don't.

*giggle*

I like that joke. It never gets old.

26 years since you dated someone? I don't know whether to be in awe
that you started so early, or to give you sympathy for it being so
long! Sorry...

Yeah, it's not too helpful that there are a distinct lack of available
members of one particular sex on this froup. OTOH, if we were to
newgroup a a.b.g.d, then perhaps we could attract new members

I have an excuse! I'm killing time until Things Happen at 7:30. Not
enough time in between knocking off at 5 for me to do much of anything,
really.

Probably should go get some food.

Why do you think I am religiously checking for new posts on a.b?

Would you beleive I volunteered to go to a conf in Cambridge? But I
have to register and write an abstract by Monday? And I have to write
a little 4 page paper by 3 weeks from now? And I have no fecking
idea? I just *love* just jumping in the pot of boiling water.

Do you get that thing where you check and feel excited and then realise
that the "new post" is actually the one you just wrote?

At least you've got it in the right order. I mean, if you write the
abstract now, you should be able to do a related paper. I keep getting
sent to conferences with abstracts due 6 months in advance, so I have to
write a really vague abstract and just hope that I get some results by
the time the conference comes around. Of course, being a geek/nerd in a
sports-based field means that no one understands wtf my abstract means
anyway, so they wouldn't know if I presented something totally
different.
