New Moon
I had a very serious and sad realization this weekend: I am a pedophile*. No, seriously. Let me tell you how I came upon this realization. I went with a couple girlfriends to see New Moon. I already knew that I am seriously addicted to the Twilight series. How do you not love a battle between vampires and werewolves? But, while standing in line, one girlfriend, we'll call her Ms. Adorable, because she's super adorable (obviously) pointed out that Jacob is only 17. And I am in love with Jacob. I was describing why Team Jacob is the way to go. He's loyal and strong and warm and loves Bella indefinitely. And the commercials where he is shirtless... Well! More of those please! It w

Food choices
What is it about dinner dates that is just so awkward? Maybe an easier question would be what isn’t awkward? First it’s like, what restaurant is good to go to? My date tonight took me to a vegan place, even though neither of us are vegans or vegetarians. I think that he was trying to be edgy and cute. I was scared going in, but it turned out to be a really great place. But, that was a risky choice, because what if I’m not down with fake chicken? But what’s a better alternative? Sushi is awkward. You have to stuff giant pieces of food in your mouth while trying to be sexy and witty. Awkward! And, I’m horrible at using chopsticks. I don’t know why I can’t get the han

Double check
I texted Curly yesterday to see if he wanted to reschedule for tomorrow night. He wrote me back today saying that tomorrow works and that we could meet at the restaurant at 7:30pm. I was excited, cause he's super cute and real adorable, so I decided to text the Comic. "I have a date tomorrow with the guy I flaked on last Friday." Send. That's so funny. The Comic will laugh and be stoked for me. I scrolled back two texts, right? Not just one? Of course I did. Maybe I should check my sent messages just in case. HOLY CRAP!! I sent that to Curly!!! So, I quickly type out "I meant to send that to my girlfriend who broke her ankle because I told her that it's her fault if you didn't w

Date with a Marine
I should never have doubted the United States Marine Corps. I meet one cute Navy guy and I’m ready to turn my back? What kind of fickleness is that? My mother raised me better than that! So, Marine Corps, I’m back claiming you as my favorite military branch and will never forsake you every again! You were always the one for me. I hope you accept my humble apologies. What brings this on? I had a date with a cute Marine. Duh! So, on Thursday morning, there was a cute guy on eharmony who had “government” listed as his occupation. We did the back and forth throughout the day. He responded nearly as quickly as I did, which was a plus. He asked for my number that night and we

I need an "interest"
It seems that most guys who contact me on Eharmony use the “what is your interest” question. I don’t know if “watching really bad reality television” is something that these guys are looking for. But, being lazy, I don’t know that I have any other interests. Well, my main interest is writing this blog, but I can’t very well write that answer! Originally I was putting “volunteering” and discussing my love of working with various charities. But, that’s kind of boring. And something I haven’t done much of lately. I think that the guy probably isn’t interested in that so much. I mean, I don’t think it’s turned any guy off yet, but it definitely isn’t gettin
