Will and Dave

Ok.. so update on the dating site. I've met 2 guys that I'm really clicking with. (Gosh this sounds so stupid).. but, anyhow.

Dave and Will.

They both are funny and outgoing and have lots of friends that they go and hang out with. (I always look to see if the guys pics have him and his friends or just him).. I think this is a total way to see if your a loner.. and I'm not cool with the loners, they tend to be clingy..

Ok.. Will first - He lives in Alexandria and is 28 years old. Non-smoker - Christian.. wants kids but doesn't have any of his own already (not unless he lied). He and I talk at least once a day. He likes all kinds of music and is very flexible on hanging out. He has an admin job at a physical therapy office... so, he works.. yay! I should probably ask him if he drives too.. ha


As for Dave - hes my favorite so far (but don't tell Will) - Dave lives in Arlington.. hes only 24.. but thats ok. He is hilarious.. we tell each other stories of crazy stuff that has happened to us.. and we've totally figured out a way to cuss on the site and not get caught.. maturity.. its great. He hasn't mentioned "meeting" me yet.. we just casually get to know each other.. its great. Plus, his pictures.... he seems nice looking :) always a plus.. I'm not even so concerned with that though... a great personality goes so much further than looks.


So.. thats an update... I could "possibly" be meeting up with Will Saturday night.. depending on my friends and his friends.. we want to make it a big friends thing and just all hang out.

First Night on The Site

Ok.. so yesterday I signed up for my dating site. WWW.plentyoffish.com

I have mixed feelings about online dating. I just immediately assume that people are creepy or just looking to get laid. However, to my surprise there were actually a lot of interesting people on the site. (plus, I'm on the site and I don't consider myself creepy)!!!

The site matches you with guys that you may be compatible with. Most of the guys tend to live in Arlington, Springfield or DC. Almost all of these men are city business men with no time for dating.. I've also met a guy on there who is deaf..I would have no problem with that. To me, communication isn't always about talking anyhow.. so, I'm excited and optimistic.

What I like most about the site is that you pretty much get all of the awkward questions out of the way by creating a profile. This profile answers questions like..

have you ever been married, do you have kids, do you use drugs, do you want kids.. and I'm not saying that people don't lie.. I'm sure some of them do, but for the most part everyone seems to be honest.

I'll keep you posted on the dates.. we will see if they just come flying in. :)

Coming out of the Slump

Ok.. so I'm feeling better. I don't know exactly why I was feeling depressed. I think I was just having one of those weeks. (and it wasn't pms .. ? ) but.. I'm feeling better.
I want to thank all of my friends for being so attentive to my feelings. You helped a great deal by talking me thru it. Thanks Cindy for going to the movies with me last night :) I had a great time, and it was nice to get out of the house and do something fun.
Thanks Roxanna and Shannon for calling me and talking to me.. Shannon - Thanks for giving me the pep talk on how to pick up a man.. I'm going on a dating site called "plenty of fish" . it is a free site and non-religious based. I'm excited!!!

Wish me luck on the dating scene :)

Fall Depression

I think I have it.

Symptons:

Lazy, fatty, sleepy, exhausted, bored, not interested in doing shit, no sex drive (which is unusual for me) and did I mention hungry and lazy?

What do I do to get out of this slump?

Love Yourself

Don't let anyone put you down. You will always be skinnier and always be fatter. Your hair will always be nicer and always be nappier. You'll never be as tall or as short as you'd like.
For those women who have "it" all.. They only have looks and money, but the real question is;
Does that woman have real friends, such as friends who cry with her, friends who hate her boyfriend because hes just not good enough for her? Friends who make her laugh til beer spews out her nose?

Does this woman know the meaning of home? The story behind the hole in the wall.. or the tiny finger prints on the wall from children playing? The days where air conditioning is too cold but just opening up the windows is too warm?

How about family? Does she remember the smell of homemade pumpkin pie.. or uncle Bob dressing up as Santa Clause? Will she remember helping her mom string up the Christmas lights and almost breaking her leg sleigh riding? How about hot chocolate with the marshmallows?

Does she get Food Lion Brand flowers or cookbooks for her birthday? Does her mom bake her a homemade cake for her birthday? Does her family call her and sing her the song? Does her dad wish her a sweet 16th birthday on her 15th birthday? Better question, was he even there on her birthday?

Best question of all.. does this girl know the feeling of love? Does she have a baby sister who takes time everyday to send an email signed with I miss you and I love you - even though she is in Kuwait? Does she have a dad who acts as master chef and gets thrilled at the thought of a delightful dinner? How about a mother who lives for her children? A mother who would die if anything ever happened to her?

I bet that girl who has everything.. has nothing but a nice smile and a great body.

Next time you want a piece of the chocolate cake.. eat it.. and don't forget to share it with your friends and family.. and laugh about it..

The Nightmare Before Christmas 3-D

Don't go see it. It was barely 3-D and it cost $9.25.

I was expecting stuff to come jumping out at my face (you know, a 3D movie).. it didn't.

Happy Birthday Shannon!

Today is my best friend Shannon's birthday. I can't wait to spend it with her and Roxanna :) I love our girls nights out.. and I have always spent Shannons birthdays with her. I love you Shannon.. and Happy Birthday. Can't wait to see you tonight!
