#NerdsUnite: An afternoon spent babysitting my inner child
I'm not sure how much of this entire journey I can document without further perpetuating a coping mechanism, but today feels good. This is authentic, and I am finally listening to this little being inside of me that just wanted SO DESPERATELY to be heard.
#NerdsUnite: The unexpected evening (a night at the @playboy mansion)
<tangent> I was actually approached by Playboy a few years back to be their "tech guru." I can't say why or who it was through but because a deal didn't end up in place their requirement for said personality dwindled. Thus, I didn't get it. It doesn't change the fact that I'm INSANELY passionate about the work Hef has done from an equal rights perspective, to even what he's done for women and their sexuality; playmates are goddesses. While I don't agree with how they are branding themselves anymore in the digital space, they are still a powerhouse and at any moment can change a few things around. Big fan of Playboy. I wouldn't ever pose, but I'm very very passionate about what they have done. </tangent>
#ThatAwkwardMomentWhen: You discover you're allergic to body paint ... after it is on
This is great, I said to her. It's thicker than I thought and while it shows your shape obvi it's not all BOOBBBBSSS!!! RIGHT HERE!!! BOOOBBBSSSS!!!
#NerdsUnite: A letter to my inner child, who apparently is still there ... I think?
I was a devious, devious little kid. Totally unapologetic about it too. I KNEW I could get away with murder, so I would CONSISTENTLY push as many of my parents buttons as possible smiling back batting my BIGGGGG blue eyes.
#RealDeal: Coding your subconscious & learning to close the end tag
I need to grow up. I've been living life by the seat of my corporate sponsored pants for the last 3 years and it's shit or get off the pot time in adding structure and developing an exit strategy. No one prepares you for the moment where you realize you have become everything you wanted to be, but you have to know when to let go so you can creatively grow in other manners.
#NerdsUnite: How to build rapport on a date
Rapport is an emotional exchange that helps people feel a connection on a deeper level. The next time you go out to eat, observe the people chatting with each other. What you’ll often see is people leaning toward one other, smiling, making eye contact and mirroring or mimicking each other’s movements and gestures. They’re in rapport. On a subconscious level, we all mirror the movements of someone we like or want to impress.
#NerdsUnite: My name is Alicia and I'm doing 50 dates in 50 states (Intermission)
Blasting through the country has led to some strange and possibly displaced emotions. Simultaneously I am soaking up the landscape, history, stories and existence of our country on a level that was incomprehensible before (and in many ways is still hard to truly understand) while a little piece of my head is bummed I have missed art show openings and birthdays of friends.
#NerdsUnite: Like energy attracting even in traffic!
I was just saying the other day how wildly random attraction is. It's ALWAYS like energy attracting!!! That's IT!!!! Then you have the added layer of wondering about a relationship and that boils down to timing. Where are you both in your life? Are your futures moving down the same path?!
#TrueStory: So, tonight I have a date with a guy I met in traffic ... seriously
I thought at first it was the car (since beetle convertibles are more likely than not driven by women), but even when I had the Ford Fiesta from the Fiesta Movement - people still came up and talked to me while sitting in traffic. Men AND women. I don't know why ... happens all the time.
