Haven't been that active in the dating scene lately, just sort of put it on the shelf and became a hermit.

 

My half sleeve's nearly done, have color to to be put in, itches like mad as the interior portion that was inked on Wednesday is healing.

Leave on vacation soon enough to Atlanta for DragonCon, that should make my geek heart happy. Need to be among my own kind!

I should be sleeping but I'm not. 

 

I'm annoyed by my quiver and the men that keep landing in it.. but I think that's mostly because my quiver tends to fill with men I wouldn't date.

 

 

the stupid utherverse ads are completely squicking me out. I'd pay to not see them if I thought that would work..

 

and 90% of the men landing in my quiver are way too whitebread for me. Anyone else ever have luck with that?

In response to Fail: Got stood up by magpiegypsy:

Had good conversations, even talked to him today, even told myfriends & sisters that I couldn't join them because I had adate and I got bloody well stood up!

 

I mean, what, you couldn't tell me the two hours before when wewere talking in email that you decided you weren't interested?

Now I'm cranky.

 

Silence so far.. I have to admit my Italian blood is all stompy and fiery at the moment, and the only thing that would appease it would be that he had second degree phone burns and broken fingers..

I may scowl for the rest of the weekend.

Grinderman, Birthday Party, of course the Bad Seeds.

 

I just realized because I have this thing for Nick Cave and his music, it might explain my penchant for dating moody romantic weirdos (stalkers, almost) every so often.

Then of course that brings to mind Michelle Pfeiffer's line in Batman Returns -

"It's the so-called "normal" guys who always let you down. Sickos never scare me. Least they're committed.."

My chain of thought isn't always a well laid out track - the train likes to jump to another often enough.

I went out on a date about a week ago with a guy who turned down every dining establishment I came up with, leaving me without a hint of why. He finally said Chevy's - which was odd because I had thrown out a few local taqueria's that he turned down.

Turns out he thinks he's a "super taster" (which meant his taste buds were very sensitive, apparently) and that's why he subsides on fast food (I am enough of a food snob that I consider Chevy's fast food, you can shoot me later!) because home cooked and what I consider good food was over powering.

I get not liking certain foods or ingredients, because I despise peppers and other certain things.. but super taster?

Meh. It was a boring date any ways.

 

I'll get a cookie... or 5%.

It's weird, I erased my last profile (started seeing someone, didn't think I needed it, and poof it was gone.. much like the relationship!) and filling one out all over again is a pain in the arse.

I feel like I need a billboard, or at least need to brand myself correctly so I reach the right sort of "consumer".

There's deifinitely a rollercoaster affect here - you get inundated with messages, then there's absolute silence for a long time, then there's another flood, then silence.

I keep wondering if dating really has become this complicated or if we've simply made it that way..
