"Schrödingers Cat" or: TO THE FRIENDZONE, ROBIN!!

NanananananananananaFRIENDZONE

Schrödingers Cat is a nice metaphore for dating. The feeling of not knowing if this thing is alive and breathing, or just a dead, lifeless puddle of hummus dripping on the floor can be nice. But sometimes reality is just disappointing.

At some point, you've might came across said puddle of hummus.

It happens to almost everybody at some point in life. And it happened to me recently, so I came to think about it.

After several occasions I have come to the conclusion that the friendzone just doesn't simply exist. It exists on several layers.

There are some counter-theories like the "Ladder-Theory", it mainly tells us that males have one ladder while females have two. A male places females upon his one ladder ranking how much or how little he wants to have sex with her.

Females have two ladders: the "friend ladder" and the "potential ladder". If a male who is situated upon the friend ladder attempts to jump onto the potential ladder, he will fall into the great abyss and struggle to climb back onto the friend ladder.

While the "Ladder-Theory" is very true in in a lot of ways, the infamous friendzone consists of many stages and all of them are hard to get out of, potentially rising in difficulty depending on how deep you are in.

1. Friendzoned after first contact

• Friendzoned after the first date. It's not so bad in terms of "friendzoning". Just forget that douche/bitch and move on.

2. Plain friendzoned

• friendzoned after dating a few times, not getting to third base. Well, it can be hard, depending on how much feelings evolved over the short period of time.

3.Friendzoned after fucking

• AFTER getting to third base (even if you slept together for a few times). Well, he/she was obviously just in for the poon. Pretty bad, concerning the fact that a lot of girls only sleep with men when they have feelings for them.

4. Friendzoned after long contact

• Very, very painful. You've probably waited a long time to confess your feelings or been in an quasi-relationship with someone who can't commit.. Being dumped at that point is devastating and painful. Grab some Vodka and a giant Jar of Ben&Jerry's, you deserve it...

5.The Safety Zone

• Let's just say, it's bad. He/She can't imagine anything other than an amazing, platonic Bro-Relationship. Get some canopeners, they're on discount at IKEA. You'll need them for the next Champions-League-Season.

6.The Korean Demilitarized Friendzone

• "You're like the brother I never had!" Instant cock-block. Not even a hint of hormones. Break into a medical research facility to steal some hormones or sob quitely everytime he/she tells you about how great they are getting along with their crush. Who is SO not you.

7.The seventh circle of hell. Dante was right.

• I'll pray for you.

8. Regret Zone.

• There is no way out of there. That's eternal. Saying "Let's just stay friends!" at this point is like saying "Oh hey look the dog died. But we can keep the body." You were friends. Might even been a "Besties-Pinkyswear-Thing". You have dated, there were feelings but they remained unrequited. You've talked about it, decided to stay friends and never ever talked about "that thing that happened". It's there and it creeps arround everytime you do something together. If it was you that got friendzoned, you cry on the inside while smiling on the outside. The wound just festers and rots and stinks and you are suffering. Just drink yourself to a coma.

That's about it for my collected thoughts about the friendzone. Take care, have a jar of B&J's ready and tell me what you think.

From first hand and living proof that even girls get friendzoned,

We worked almost a week on this. Our masterpiece of nerdiness with many awesome parties yet to come :)

about moving

Well, yes. Here I am, sleep deprived and very very anxious about stuff. I want to crawl deep in a hole and not come out until it's all over.

My current mood could be described mainly like this: one third optimistic, happy and cheerful. One third nervous, scared and worried, all mixed with anxiety about the future. And one third sadness about leaving my hometown.

It's mainly that whole moving out-thing. I'm going apeshit horsepoo crazy over this. Saturday is the big day. Gaaaah.

It makes me sad driving and walking around town. I lived in this city since early childhood, alas at the same place for 9 years, and it's a giant leap of faith forward for me to leave this behind and make room for something new. I sure won't forget all of those precious memories and experiences and I'm positive about my future at the new place, but it still makes me feel kinnda sad. Still, I feel like the wee little child I was when I walk by my old Kindergarten.

There's also the convenient moving stress I'm dealing with. My future room will be a lot smaller than what I have been living in before, so I'll have to leave a lot of my stuff behind. (Even though I recently came to the conclusion that I don't even own that much stuff... It's just that I do own a lot of furniture xD)
Also, there's my usual depression about people - will they be ok with me, will I be ok with them, am I a freak to them, am I able to make it on my own and so on. I hate myself for that. *sigh* Time for some resolving art I guess...
All my cartoons are sorta based on stuff that happens in my life, but there's a lot of gloomy -"my brain won't shut the fuck up"-stuff going on as well. So, A very personal piece, but I needed to get this out of my system.


And just for the record: it's 05:29am and I still haven't slept a second tonight :( Well, it's an early shower, a gallon of coffee and breakfast for me and then it's back to packing...

May the fourth be with you,
CK
