Virtual Wooing

Well it's settled. I'm officially the worst wooer.

I just finished Mass Effect, unsuccessfully wooing the potential love interest of the game.

Mass Effect is a futuristic RPG, with very in depth dialog. In every conversation, you have many natural options to choose from. I guess it turns out for the potential love interest of the story, I must've chosen every wrong thing to say to her.

Guess that's why I'm single...

Carded

Wow, I haven't been carded in a long time. I guess I look even younger when I'm with my cousins. K/H and J/P were visiting San Francisco, and we went to the sony store at the metreon. They have some type of truancy/loitering policy or something (and even though it wasn't a school night/day), if you're under 18, you're not allowed in the store without an adult.

Well, we were just browsing, and a security guard said, "You're not allowed in here, may I see your ID?" I was quite flustered, since I had no idea what he meant (I didn't read the under 18 signs or anything before then). I was confused, and simply replied, why?

"Minors aren't allowed in the store at this time"

(So I was thinking oh,, he must be refering to J/P)

"Are minors allowed in with an adult?"

"Someone a bit older, yes, but you have to be next to your parents"

(Now realizing he was still referring to me, I matter of factly say:)

"I'm 28" (and shows ID)

And the guy laughs, and, takes a closer look at my ID. "Wow, sorry, yeah, you're fine."

I can understand being carded buying alcohol, and even understand perhaps not looking 21, but, looking like someone under 18? I definitely hope my mannerisms inflect a more mature age...

Misunderstood

Well, the BART station just opened up a 2nd parking garage, and so for once I thought I might have a closer than 15 minute walk parking spot to the station. Well, I get to the top (the 8th floor), and after spending a good 5-10 minutes just driving up the thing (*wishes for car elevators*), the parking lot is full. Normally, before the 2nd garage, ther'es an electronic sign saying if it is full or not, but it wasn't working (probably because of thme combining it with the 2nd garage).

But wait, there is one spot left, but a big ole truck is taking up .25 of the spot. My car is tiny, so I manage to squeeze through.

Then, when I return to my car after work, I get this note on my car. "I'd just like to let you know that you parked really close to me. Please spend more time watching where you park."

For some reason, despite its politeness, it still irritated me (Well, only slightly). I guess part of me gets annoyed when I am not allowed a rebuttal to explain the circumstance.

Well, a different more important question, though, is, what's better excerise? Walking up and down 8 flights of stairs, or walking 15 minutes to and from a far parking spot? Driving up the garage, probably wastes a lot of gas, and takes just as long to get to the station, so I'm not saving any time, so where should i park?
