Something I made…

Tomorrow, the 8th of December, also the first day of Eid (The second one), I will be going to Kuwait at 1500hrs. Wow, this sucks! I don’t really wanna go, but it’s a new experience so blah! I’ll be back on Saturday, or maybe even earlier.

So in the spirit of all travel-ness, here’s my list of what I must take!

1. Phone
2. Earphones
3. Clothes
4. Phone’s USB Cable
5. Money!

That’s it, lol. Very simple, indeed. What’s yours?

BTW - I’ll try to post pics from Kuwait (if I can).

Today, I was bored, so while I was chatting to Trisha, we made a up a little story Here it is:

“Brokeback Mountain”
By Trisha and Shaibanii

Once upon a time, many days ago, there was a boy named Fred. Fred liked to code and he liked to play dress-up. One day Fred decides to switch off his computer, and go out and play Football with his dog. As he was playing, a weird old man came up to him.

“Howdy, I’m a cowboy!” the man said and gave him a Electric Guitar and left. Inspired and motivated by the cowboy spirit, Fred started a campfire in the middle of the day and dressed up his Guitar as a cow.

As Fred finished dressing up his Electric Guitar, the cowboy came back and stabbed Fred in the back, Fred died. Suddenly, the Electric Guitar came to life and the cow started beating on the cowboy’s head. He then stripped the cowboy of his clothes and the cowboy felt something warm and long inside him. He liked it. Shortly after that the cowboy died and the cow lived happily ever after.

The End!

If you wanna use the current year for a copyright statement or whatever and not have to update it every year (if you’re that lazy :P) Here’s how:

If you’re in a WordPress environment:

1

<?php the_time('Y'); ?>

Output: 2008
(Yes, I can execute PHP in my posts.)

And in any normal .php page, you can get the year from your server.

1

<?php echo date('Y'); ?>

Output: 2009
So on exactly 31/12/2008 11:59, it’ll be 2009, and the next minute, well.. you know what’s gonna happen.

In the wide world of dating, there are many options. Do you go for the flashy guy with the smooth smile, or the dude in the corner typing away on his laptop? The following are reasons why I think my fellow females should pay more attention to the quiet geeks and nerds, and less attention to the flashy boys. (from a girls point of view)

1. While geeks and nerds may be awkward, they’re well-meaning 9 out of 10 times. That smooth dude with the sly grin and the spider hands? Wonder what HIS intentions are… plus, I’ve never had a geek guy not call me when he said he would. Score major points THERE.
2. They’re useful. In this tech-savvy world, it’s great to have a b/f who can make your laptop, desktop, and just about anything else that plugs into a wall behave itself.
3. They’re more romantic than they’re given credit for. Ok true, their idea of romance might be to make up a spiffy web-page with all the reasons why they love you, with links to pics of you and sonnets and such… but hey. It lasts longer than flowers, plus you can show your friends.
4. Due to their neglected status, there are plenty to choose from. You like ‘em tall and slender? There are plenty of geeks/nerds who are. You like ‘em smaller with more meat on their bones? Got that too.
5. They’ve got brains. Come on now, how can intelligence be a bad thing?
6. Most are quite good at remembering dates. Like birthdates and such, especially if they know it’ll make you happy. Due again to their neglected status, they’re more attentive than guys who “have more options”. Plus, with all that down time without a steady girlfriend, they’ll likely have mental lists of all the things they’d love to do once they GOT a girlfriend.
7. Sex. Yep. Sex. I’m not really familiar with this myself, but I’ve friends who’ve been intimate with geek guys and it’s raves all around. They say a virgin wrote the Kama Sutra… all that time thinking about sex, imagining sex, dreaming about sex, (they are male after all) coupled with a desire to make you happy? Use your imagination.
8. They’re relatively low-maintenance. Most can be fueled on pizza, Twinkies and Mt Dew. No complicated dinners needed here, so if you’re not the best cook, eh. Can you order a pizza?
9. Most frequent bars as often as slugs frequent salt mines. You won’t have to worry much about your geek guy getting his “groove” on with club hotties because, frankly, he’ll be too busy rooting around under his computer wondering where that spare cable went. You won’t have to worry about him flirting with other women because, 9 out of 10 times, he’ll zip right by them in a perfect b-line towards the nearest electronics store. I’ve seen this happen.Girl: “Eww. Victoria Secret’s Models… They’re so skinny. How is that feminine? You can see her ribs!”
   Geek Guy: “ooooooo…”
   Girl: “Hey!” *notices he is staring lustfully towards the computer store*
   Geek Guy: “What?”
   Girl: “Never mind…”

Bored? Wanna play a prank on someone? I’m sure you’ve heard of the Blue Screen of Death, and probably experienced it if you’re on Windows. Microsoft has a BSOD screensaver up for download on its site, so go ahead, play a harmless prank on someone.

Tricked someone using this? Let me know how it went in the comments. I could use a good laugh.
