So about your English...

I wish I could tell eharmony not match me with people who don't have excellent English. This guy wrote something about "my advisor in the grad school," and I'm thinking, if he makes mistakes like that, how can I be my smartass articulate self?

I can't!

Ah, well. This girl from the Surrendered Single intro thing I went to said she signed up for eharmony for a year and met her fiancee right when the subscription was about to run out. That'll be in late November for me.

Sex and the City

Did I mention that I've been watching Sex & the City reruns on TBS - I DVR them and speed through.

I've reached the part where Charlotte has met Harry, found him off-putting but fell in love anyway, and is considering converting to Judaism. At the same time Miranda realizes she's in love with Steve, but he says he's met someone and, "Don't worry, I'm not in love with you anymore." Samantha's still getting over a cheater, and Carrie's about to embark on her lame relationship with Berger.

It's weird, watching Carrie with Berger and Aidan, I thought it was totally obvious that the relationships weren't going to work. Did other people see that when they were actually new episodes? Or is it just because I know how it ends?

Either way, it doesn't give me gobs of hope.

Never heard from 24

I hate it when I have a great first date and I know the guy is in to me but then nothing happens. I don't know how often this happens to me, but it sucks!

My really good friend said this blog is depressing because it just goes on and on. I posited that maybe I'm just not as far as I need to be to meet "the one," but three chicks laughed at me and said the closest they would go on that one is that I need more growth to recognize "the one." But if he's in my life already, god help me!

I met a cute guy last night but he just got divorced and only wants to play the field. Sheesh.

Bleh!

Email from 25

25, the opthamologist that flirted a lot with the waitress and seemed disappointed that I wasn't overcome with lust about his money, sent me this email:

I've been meaning to get back to you. I enjoyed our date and think you're very attractive. However, I don't thinkwe are perfectly compatible in a relationship but I'd like to keep in touch with you.

I wrote back, "Sounds good to me. :)"

Why? I dunno. Maybe he's fine as a friend. He certainly won't be all weird like 24 was, texting me and pressuring me to kiss him.

Haven't heard from 24

Which is never a good sign. What's up with that? A good date and then nothing? I swear, it went very well. Geez.

Date with 24

Went on a bowling date with 24 on Thursday at Lucky Strike off Lincoln Road. It was really fun! Okay, I spent the whole bowling time readjusting my clothes after every time I ... bowled a ball? But it was fun. Then we had some good Chinese food at Miss Yip's on Lincoln Road. Despite the fact that he's got 16 or 17 years on me (I'm not even 30 quite yet), it seemed like a good fit. He's uber busy, though, so I don't know when I might hear from him. I genuinely think we both had a good time. So if I don't hear from him, it's not about me. Dammit.

Message I got in an email by accident

This Portuguese researcher I've emailed with (about research for the disease I work with! Water research! That's it!) sent me this by accident, but it was weird because it was actually a response to my last email a month ago:


tb...
sabes o que gostava de ver agora... como é a tua lingerie :) (eu e as minhas coisas preversas)


You know what I'm thinking right now ... about you in lingerie :) (And I'm thinking dirty stuff)


I just had to share. People asked me if I responded, and I said no - why respond? To make him feel awkward?
