Adept's Journal: An anthology of present events

An introduction: The life of an rAFC

At this point you may be wondering, who the hell is this chump and why the fuck am I reading this? Well, I can only answer one of those and I'll start by telling you I could really give a fuck if you read this. I didn't write it for you, I've written it because I've been compelled to start a new thread for my life, one of many that weaves it's self into a... Wow, theatrics... Fuck it, lets roll.

It started when I found some blogs written by David Deangelo, they intrigued me but nothing ever came of it. Then somehow, after a while I bumped into an old friend. We started hanging out and I turned 21. My party sucked, I didn't even go out and I didn't have anyone to have fun with. After that my friend and I started drinking together, he took me to parties, and I watched how he interacted with people and tried to mimic it. I lost my sense of self and became him. I had minimal success but something seemed to work because after 4 months I had seen more success than ever. I made out with seven different girls sometimes two at once, and got a notch on my belt for a lay. One day it all came to a head, I was depressed, unfulfilled, lonely, and drunk. I fell into a pit of inescapable blackness that I felt I could never climb out of and I tried to kill myself. Somehow, I pulled through that and experienced a marginal amount of success. I gave up drinking, partying, and even gave up looking for a mate. Two weeks later, she walked into my life. We had a ton of fun throughout the seven months we were together but over time I got bored, I didn't love her anymore. I gave up everything we had and now here I am. Single, homeless, and car-less but ready to start life anew.

I'm Adept, I chose that name because it symbolizes what I want to be. I am going to strive for excellence (not perfection). I want to be the Casanova of the modern age and I will succeed.

Day 0: A hope and a prayer

Originally I was going to write the Day 0 a few days prior to this posting but I realized I hadn't really done anything to help my game, nor had I even talked to women. So, today (July 08, 2011) I decided would be a good day to "officially" start. Anyway, on with the show!

Today I went to Target and the mall. While at Target, I smiled at a lot of girls I walked past and couldn't get past my AA. Eventually I got all the stuff I needed and took it up to the cashier, who after I made a bit of chit-chat with was laughing and smiling so wide I must have made her day. Then I hit the mall, while there, my buddy notices a cute chick that works there, so I go in and act like I'm there to buy something, she says something about closing, "but welcome to Game Stop anyway", so I respond in a joking tone, "Welcome to Game Stop, now get out", she laughs. Then we start talking about games and them not having the key so I gesture like I'm going to spartan kick the glass case open, again she laughs. Later we get into chit-chat about how we live far away and stuff then she tells up we should come back tomorrow (an IOI?). We leave, I'm feelin' awesome, the place is empty because it's closing. I'm still happy I talked to both those girls, confidence gained.

Day 1 (July 9, 2011): A trip to the market

Plans for today are pretty normal errands that I need to run however, I'm going to try to work some game in there somewhere:

1. When I go to Von's to apply for a job, talk to two of the girls that work there. I've been avoiding this because of AA and the saying, "Don't dip your pen in company ink" comes to mind but I'm going to do it anyway!
2. Open some sets that are patrons of Von's
3. Open sets in the parking lot

What actually happened:

I talked to one of the girls, who keeps saying, "Hey, how are you?" and smiling and showing IOI's but our conversation never really got past that. She always seems so busy and I feel awkward when the manager is standing nearby... And there weren't really that many girls in the store today. No more excuses, tomorrow is the day. Go chat up as many girls as possible, working or not. If they are really busy I'll let them go but if I can get a conversation going I will. Never give up. Never Surrender.
