Anonymous Rejection!

So, I was just minding my business, searching Netflix for Jackie Chan movies and new Anime, when I got a random text from a number I didn't know.

"You mentioned a late night walk. How about this friday?"

My heart skipped a beat. Could this be my long lost love? How should I play this?

"Wrong" Steve could be "right" Steve if you want!

So, someone added me to her phone, but doesn't know who I am. And, judging by the reply she doesn't know who she is either.

Attempt at being cute failed.

No walk for me. All I get is the Angry Android Face (tm.) Well, that and ... endless silence.


My search goes on.

You! Get Back in the Dating Pool!

Aaaaand, we're back. Me and the Ninja Turtles and the Blue Gremlin of Fate.

I had a bit of a dilemma where I started dating this really great woman, but I wanted to respect her privacy so I didn't post things about our relationship here. So, I just didn't post for a while. But now, great news for you, we broke up! (Maybe not so much for me, but I suppose it's Yin and Yang and ... why is the Yin Yang symbol reminding me of Hostess cupcakes?)

Warning: I stole this from the Internets

Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yes, well, it's time to start blogging about my (lack of a) dating life again!

Just to depress myself, I went back to my old dating sites. I didn't even polish or update my old profile. I suppose I didn't feel like putting in the effort. Well, I did update one picture, I think. Anyway, so I've been thinking lately, that maybe I don't want one of those beautiful cosplay-obsessed girls that look fantastic as Batgirl or Poison Ivy or Gamma Radiated Margaret Thatcher. They are simply always swarmed by fan boys, and I imagine this gives them a big head. Besides that, they are always swarmed by fan boys, so it would be hard to keep them, I would think. In fact, I just had a dream about this last night. I married some fan girl in a quick, bizarre ceremony (in a college dorm, where we were moving to) and then she proceeded to obsess about her every costume, sew and shop all the time, and practice for cosplay skits, leaving zero time for me. Forget WoW Widows, I was a Cosplay Widower!

Google search for "WoW Widow", also stolen

I'd still like to have an outstanding geek girl that would watch anime, play video games, sword fight, and LARP... hopefully even with me at times! I think what I'm looking for right now is someone nice, but also someone with drive, to do things beyond gaming and hobbies. So, I searched a popular dating site for some terms I thought might help.

Genius:            0 results
Extraordinary:  0 results

Okay. Maybe I'll try to find someone with similar interests to me, so I'll search for "anime."

Hello, my name is Jenny, I am a professional Dominatrix and an aspiring voice actor. 

Or, I suppose, I could become a hermit.

Why you should EXCITING date ADVENTURE Steve ROMANCE Racer! (part 2)

As I said a couple blog entries ago, I was told my other entry on why you (yes, you!) should date me made me look kind of boring. I can see that now. I mean I basically mentioned how I didn't suck and won't cheat or be mean or do all that annoying crap that your ex did last time, but that's not really a reason for you to get excited.

So. Prepare to... get excited!!


Live a Life Less Ordinary...


What do you want to do with your life? Do you have big dreams? I do. I dream of having a partner, a team-mate to have great crazy adventures with. Whether it is going to conventions all over the country, or live action role playing adventures, to just driving around with no particular place to go... I like to live life, and with a passion. We could swordfight until we no longer could stand then collapse in each other's arms for a kiss. We could create new worlds and dreams together. Sing, and laugh, and run, and even fly...

Live a Life Extraordinary with me...


Every moment can be precious. Even things as simple as a breeze, a song, a flower... these all can be treasured. It doesn't have to be some super amazing unique expensive trip to be an adventure, even just a walk in the trees is an adventure when your mind is full of wonder and imagination. It's also true that somehow  I'm a magnet for unusual experiences, strange and unlikely things just seem to happen in my life. Let me tell you this: it's never boring.

Making Dreams


Right now I'm working on several film projects I wrote, including a fantasy book and movie series, as well as a sci-fi animation, and then there's my next book I'm writing and new music I'm working on too. I don't just sit around and game and eat twinkies... I'm makin' stuff happen! I also keep myself in great shape not only for the screen, but so I can be ready to take on whatever comes my way.

So, that's a little about my life. Really just a small slice. There's a lot more to me; for instance, the fact that I am ridiculous, and inappropriate, and also ridiculously inappropriate at times.

If you can't tell my outrageous sense of humor from this blog already, then well... I guess you can't tell my outrageous sense of humor from this blog. I suppose I'll have to work on that. Anyway, I also got feedback that I wasn't smiling much in the pictures I posted last time and could have probably maybe a little bit kinda looked like a psychopath. So, yeah, let me show you some pictures where I actually smile and stuff.

BTW, I like a lot of music, but mostly modern punk and 80's. I won a Carbon Leaf CD from a radio station and... hey, they're pretty cool.

Ninja Turtles Stole My Girl

Feel free to blame the Blue Gremlin of Fate.

Scary, ain't he?

The Song She Never Heard

I'm one of those sentimental people I suppose. I knew my DragonCon romance would slowly disappear, even though she texted me and said "I promise I will never do that!"

This really doesn't help me trust people. This moment requires an emoticon: -_-

Edit: that Youtube recording was terrible and I deleted it.

Anyway, I could tell she was slowly drifting away, for whatever reason, and so I wanted to give her a goodbye present for the great night we had together. When we went to Trader Vic's we got snazzy drinks in plastic cups (I know Richard, what was up with that??) My stirrer had a rock candy on the end and I'm not really so much into candy so I gave it to her. She liked it and had fun with it and so somehow I came to associate that with her... and that made me want to sing her the classic by The Archies, "Sugar, Sugar." I texted her and sent her the link, but she never said anything after that. I don't think she ever watched it. So, here it is for YOU to see, at least someone will hear it right?

As an ending note, thanks for the feedback on my last entry. Many of them were like, "That's nice Steve, but you sound boring." So, I'm going to write another blog on why you should date me! Aren't you thrilled? All five of you subscribers?? :) Yes? Hello? Echo....

Why YOU Should Date Steve Racer!

So, a friend of mine who reads all these blogs said to me,

"You know Steve, I keep reading your blogs, and they are entertaining, but you really need to watch out that you don't come across as a #%#$@ whiner."


My response, "Um, uh, well I'm just trying to be honest."

Her, "Yeah. If you want anyone who reads this to actually like you, you have to give them some reason to. Tell them why they should date you."

Me, "You mean, I should make a list of how awesome I am?!"


Her, "..."

So, here you go, this is my blog about why you should date me. (Except you, Ashton Kutcher, please stop sending me those dirty texts.)

Steve Doesn't Do a Lot of Crappy Things That a Lot of Boys Do


I mean, this is a big reason right here. I talk to so many women all the time (who for some reason stay and put up with all this crap with their men) who elaborate on so many terrible things their boyfriends do. So, this is what I don't do:

* I don't yell, pretty much ever (except to be silly)
* I don't cheat (except at bingo)
* I don't manipulate or play games (except Dungeons and Dragons)
* I don't lie to you (except maybe about the size of your butt)
* I don't do mean things to hurt you (unless you're totally into that)


I've heard so many stories about guys who don't tell the truth, cheat, stare and drool at other women, and do things to make their girls feel bad to manipulate them. And women just accept this treatment! (Not all, but too many.) So, I'm here to say, I don't do that stuff. If you don't believe me you can a) try me, and b) talk to my close friends who know me.

Why Steve is a Good Boyfriend


I mean, you already know I'm into gaming, sci-fi, anime, cosplay, sword fighting, all that stuff. I'm a geek. So you get all that for free. But guess what ladies? I also do this stuff:

* Listen to you
* Remember what you say
* Buy or make special gifts and surprises
* Sing to you
* Have great personal hygiene! (I know, a man? )
* Compromise and work things out fairly
* Give a lot
* Explore your interests
* Am true to myself (I don't have a facade when you first meet me, I am who I am all the time.)
* Take care of my health
* Manly enough to rip phone books in half, while feminine enough to discuss different types of Hello Kitty
* Freakin' smart but not arrogant about it
* Affectionate (like a snuggly pet!)
* Experienced at quite a few different things

And there's a lot of other stuff that you'll just have to find out! And hey, the girl I met at DragonCon pretty much totally disappeared (as I predicted) so you should hurry in case she shows back up again! (Yeah, right. Take your time.)

Anyway, here's some other pictures of me, besides the main one in my profile.

DragonCon Romance! a.k.a. Practice at Being Shot Down

All right, fine, I admit it. I really want one of those beautiful cosplay girls that everyone stops to take pictures of. Why shouldn't I? I mean, then I could cosplay with them and we could even have beautiful cosplay babies! (Note: Steve does not actually want to have babies.)

So, I went to DragonCon this year, for the first time in 4 years. I was broke, as usual, but hey, I'd already bought the ticket so my destiny was set! On Friday I dressed as a samurai, and had fun walking around the con. I did meet some nice girls wearing some Japanese outfits, and even a beautiful single mom named Karen. Hey that's right I got a picture with them. I'll post it if I don't look like an idiot.

Yay! It's Blurry! But Karen is pretty!

I actually liked Karen, you know, if I had a way to steal her and her kid (kids?) from Georgia I might have. But I suppose that wasn't to be. Well, Saturday came along, and I dressed as Nightwing. I went to a really big DC Universe photoshoot and there were a lot of gorgeous super hero women there. One of the prettiest ones was constantly mobbed by photographers. I tried to talk to her.

Me: "Hi, I..."
Guy comes up for picture and she poses.
Me: "My name's..."
Five other guys start taking pictures.
Me: "I really like your..."
She changes poses, ten more guys with cameras show up.
Me: "Ok, well, see you on facebook!"

And this was after the official shoot! I did actually get her facebook. But you know how THAT goes from my previous blog -- she has never talked to me. I'll just be shelved in the fanboy collection.

Speaking of being shelved, I met a girl who is perfect for me on (unnamed dating site) yesterday! I messaged her of course, and she got back online today! And.....didn't answer me at all. Here's stuff from her profile.

 I enjoy in random order: books (the real actual paper kind), rock/alternative music, food, reading, jokes, fantasy, dragons, Japanese anime, watermelon, NPR, strategy games, A Game of Thrones, 12 Stones, Staind, Lord of the Rings, The Name of the Wind, running, delicious noodles, Memento, Count of Monte Cristo, science fiction, seafood, green, traveling in Asia, Thailand, Lakers, rain, numbers, perfectly round items, elephants, pandas, a breeze, Breaking Benjamin, The Hunger Games, The Exies, Linkin Park, family, action movies, Egypt Central, Hinder, Gandalf, hobbits, playing tennis


I mean, come on! I just read Name of the Wind, I love Count of Monte Cristo, sci fi, freakin Breaking Benjamin even!

So, I just totally ruined my chances by sending her this (but it should amuse you right?*):

"Oh come on! I'm reading Name of the Wind it's even in my profile! (Ok I finished it and the 2nd book by now) And I play tennis! 

What else do you want? Free cookies with every date? 

I can do that. ;)" 

Anyway, back to DragonCon. On Saturday I decided to ask every beautiful cosplay girl I found attractive (or any girl really, cosplay or no) if she was single or not. (I didn't say "taken!") 

So, over the next few hours I asked nine women. The result: nine out of nine were not single. 

After I got to nine I was so depressed that I stopped asking. Until Sunday. Sunday I was piratey-ish. I don't know, I wore my sort of ren-fest dashing vest thing without sleeves. Anyway, so I went to the Pirate Party. I sat down next to a nice piratey lady who asked who my piratey persona was that evening. Since I didn't have one I quickly made one up and switched to my British accent. Well, this lady in red (Scarlet), utilized several eloquent vocabulary words in multiple sentences to clearly establish she wasn't interested in any piratey rogue such as myself. So I moved on. Wandering the party. 

Then I saw her. A beautiful also piratey-ish wench. I decided I'd keep my British accent and talk to her. (And I'd just like to add, people who deride my British accent, she said it took two minutes before she realized it wasn't real!) She smiled so much, and her eyes were so bright. I finally steeled myself to ask her the question. Single? Yes.

I was shocked. What? How can this be? Are you telling the truth? Yes, she said. And, after that, we spent the whole rest of the night together. She actually... enjoyed being with me. For me, it was the best night I had had in months. We talked, we walked, we had drinks with my friends, we wandered around and danced to people singing karaoke. Then, of course, reality came... she had to go home with her brother, I had to go back to my hotel room. I got her number. We texted the next day but weren't able to meet up. Then I flew away and was gone away from her... she also lives in Georgia.

Over the next few days we texted a good bit. She even called me once. About a week later, she just kind of stopped texting me. I remember I had told her I was going to kidnap her to L.A. She texted me once, "Still going to kidnap me?" Yes, I would have. I wonder if she will slowly disappear, like so many others? 

*Just to let you know, yes, I'm being very silly and sometimes over the top in the blog. But hey, it makes it more entertaining to read, right?
