Although I doubt Batman could save us from aliens.
It's called OMAC/ReMAC, people. Come
on
I suppose befriending her boyfriend was my bizarro way of proving to myself that she wasn't all bad. I had blamed him for my relationship with the ENTJ gf going sour for a long time, but ever since we've gotten to know each other better I have come to a conclusion that the charismatic and spunky girl I made friends with almost four years ago was just a well cultivated cover for the bully I live with now.
I honestly think you did what you always do...you saw the fact that you couldn't be friends with him not as an excuse, but as a
challenge.
As someone who talks with this dude every day, I can definitely weigh in on the ISTJ/ISTP thing, not necessarily by functions (although that seems to be proof in oh so much pudding) but I mean additionally, observations indicate that:
a.) he defines his affections for people by figuring out material things/goods that people like or need, and then providing those for them. Tiny might be failing to mention this potentially, but the way he kind of "announced" his arrival at our house was by bringing all kinds of things that he had observed us talking about having, but not having, like some extra silverware, some different types of food and stuff that he knew we had liked from talking to us, and I think some like, pots and pans too. All incredibly practical shit.
b.) he strives for efficiency on the level of our household. I've had a conversation with him like 8 times on the issue of our trash and how to make it cleaner and more efficient. I often find myself at the same point with him, trying to waylay his fears about any given current mess or inefficiency with promises of plans and solutions to come....once I have the money. Also when you talk to him, he is a virtual encyclopedia of medical facts about the body and how to keep it healthy. He can tell you basically everything in your kitchen that can potentially give you cancer, and exactly how.
I'm N-type enough that when someone does that much for me for no reason, I tend to take it automatically as "Oh, so you're insinuating that
I am inefficient eh? Well fuck you!" so at first, I didn't really get along with him either. Plus his sexist ideas and theories like, can really mess with my head in terms of being annoying like a mosquito in a conversation.
Now I basically just leave him be and that kind of...works out.
LOL.
I can really believe you are a house of comic fans but why wouldn't this kid fit in? I feel like it's a showdown at a sci-fi convention between star trek fans and star wars fans. And Battlestar Galactica (classic and new) would be in there somewhere, too.
You'd think this, but remember the WoW and Halo act as transcendent icons in gaming culture. They are to games what myspace was to the internet, in that they have developed a culture to allow people who have no nerd-like qualities to compete and win in a nerd's world (video games, the internet). Our IST-whatever is in THIS cross section of WoW gamers, i.e. body builders who think Lord of the Rings is for wussies, and posit that "it's all in the arena" or somesuch thing. I'm willing to bet if you quizzed him on either Alliance or the Horde plotlines and story development, he would honestly not be able to tell you key points of the story.
hope the information helps!
