All is well! I am extricated from jeans (with only a little pain) and I have a gorgeous neighbour who is too good for me anyway, so it's not like we were going to get married or anything but she seems very friendly so maybe we'll get to be buds. Not sure what my opening line should be. "Hey, do you want to come and see my robots" probably doesn't cut it with most women.
Omg...robots! I had a robot army once. Only they were mildly retarded. All they did was squeak and bash into each other while bleeping "Old MacDonald". Their eyes glowed red, though. That counts for something, right?
Go with howami's cookie idea. She thinks of good stuff :) And a little bit of surreptitious stalking could be ok :P
You may or may not believe this but I honestly can make my robots "eyes" flash red and play Old MacDonald. They don't have wheels yet (but they will. Oh yes, they will) so they have to be dropped off at their stalking place and can't run away if discovered.
Also if someone treads on them, they die. :/ Terminator they are not.
You so are not! The best you are getting is a YouTube video of my robots doing red-eye and Old McDonald. Which I actually may do for you in lieu of a Christmas present.
You'll be disappointed, though. They're just circuit boards and wires and lights and stuff.
My robots were from the $2 store. They were cats or dogs (or both at the same time). My friend bought the first one because the label on the box said "super fun dancing puppet" and this intrigued her. Then we bought lots. They were meant to do certain things when you said certain words or clapped. They just got confused and span around in half circles and mweeped. There was one with green eyes. It was the leader. It fell down a lot.
The new robots I'm stealing from you sound much more awesome :D ;)
Bring her a plate of cookies to welcome her to the building. Then you have an excuse to visit again to retrieve the plate, or she'll bring it back to you.
Well, the problem is three people have left and three have arrived in the past week and I don't know which one she's in. The other arrivals might be hairy men and I'm not wasting cookies on them.
I might get one of my robots to spy on what time she takes her rubbish out and then take mine out at the same time. Is it still stalking if a machine does it?
Give it time. I'm sure with your keen observation skills you will eventually figure out which door is hers, and which ones belongs to the hairy men. Although, with your luck, she may live with a hairy man. Sorry. :( You can always send me the cookies.
Her loss is my cookie gain. As long as it's real chocolate.
And no joke, my co-workers were geeking out on robots earlier today. Complete with inappropriate racial slurs about Chinese and Mexican robots. Last I checked they were flying paper airplanes as a means to maintain sanity.
What were you doing at 12:12pm on 12/12/12?

At least for now! Mwahaha!

And maybe check the mirror first.

She was so pretty, I bet she has two hairy men! And I bet she doesn't even like robots anyway. I'm better off without her. :P
Want a chocolate chip cookie? It's robot-made so the chips are real computer chips. Mucho crunchio!
