The dirty (half) dozen

Here's a brief date recap for those of you playing the home game. I'll attempt to maintain the same date nicknames from now on so we can all follow along. I was needing a flow chart for awhile.

Date #1 : aka "Friendster Guy" - thought I wanted to be just friends but now think better of it. He's checking his schedule to see if he'll join me at a hockey game this weekend.

Date #2: was "Date # 3" at some point. Now known as "Buff Gym Guy". Very flirty. Saw him again last night. I brought him to a group thing at a bar last night knowing he'd be pretty flirty with not just me but my gal pals and I knew they'd like it. He was and they did. I learned he's a very interesting person and worth at least a couple more dates. He sang me a song from Les Miserable. And he was good. I didn't swoon but it's the kind of thing that would make me do so.

Date #3: "K." Physical disabilities and speech impediment. I've already told him we can be friends but that's it.

Date #4: "Glider Guy" He flies gliders in his spare time. A little boring. We may go out again to see if the awkwardness goes away but it probably won't.

Date #5: "High School Guy" Yes, I believe I'm going to call this a retroactive date. He was pleasant and funny and the conversation was relaxed and comfortable. We're going out again Friday night but with a friend of his. He's asked me to see if I have any single ladies who'd like to join us. There are a few red flags involving alcohol that I'd like to investigate. Friday night at a bar with a pal of his from Britain is the perfect venue. There are some things that are deal breakers for me. Overexcessive drinking is one of them.

Date #6: "Math Teacher" The jury is still out on him because we won't meet until Sunday.

So, Dates 1, 2, and 5 are promising and worthy of at least a second if not third and fourth looks. If dates 3 and 4 don't contact me ever again I'd be fine with that.

Date 6 is an unknown.

Oh, and in case you are wondering, only one of these dates ended in a kiss and it was the very, very briefest of pecks from Buff Gym Guy. Sadly I was like "oh my goodness I think he's going to kiss me on the lips right here in the bar in front of god and everyone!" instead of "Yeeha!" I may or may not be sharing any more juicy details here in the future. That might have been it folks. You may be trying to live vicariously through me, but not THAT vicariously.

Today is a day of rest. Aaahhhh....

A Phone Conversation: Me: "In the spirit of full disclosure, I should let you know I am signed up to auction myself off at a batchelor/batchelorette auction next month." Friendster Guy: "How much does a single girl go for these days? Will I have to bring my checkbook?" Right thing to say Friendster Guy. Right thing to say. Also, today is Compliment Day. According to this site , this day was created in 1998 by Kathy Chamberlin, of Hopkinton, NH. and Debby Hoffman, of Concord, NH. Sad that it took until 1998 to have a Compliment Day while National Pie Day began in 1986 (thanks American Pie Council and Crisco), and National Handwriting Day started way back in 1977. Spread the love today. Compliment 5 people. By the way, you're fabulous. * Mycology = the study of fungus

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...

TMI re: Nuvaring

Let's just state right up front that this post is going to contain too much information. It's about birth control, the prescription kind. Any modern straight gal must think about it unless they like playing russian roulette with their ovaries. (Thanks N for correcting my previously heterocentric sentence.) There is nothing fun about birth control except that you can kind of have sex without freaking out that you may get pregnant. Of course you may get pregnant anyway (joy! rapture!) simply because the gods are not smiling upon you and you are the one in 100 for whom the statistics suck. Pros of birth control: You are less likely to get pregnant. Sometimes your skin clears up. Less severe cramping. You have control of your own destiny, sort of. Cons of birth control: If you are on the pill you have to remember to take it every day. Sometimes, as in my case, it can make you think you are bipolar, even at a low dose. It's just a general pain in the rear end that makes you par...
