the big announcement

So i've decided not to tell my friends anything about my dating life and will be strictly reporting on it in my blog. Why you ask? well, let me tell you a thing or two about women, they like to stick their nose in things they shouldn't. They are also very annoying. and i'm a woman, so i think i'm allowed to say this. when i tell my friends i have a date, i get innudated with so many questions about what I'm wearing, who he is, his profile name so they can look at him, where we're going, etc. I mean the list literallyl goes on and on, then the next day i'm bombarded with emails wanting to know how it went. then that's followed up by the daily questions about whether mr. X has called or emailed and then i feel terrible having to say no if i really liked the guy. anyway, this has led me to be able to tell only one person just to get the story off my chest, it's going to be you the public. and no one is probably reading this thing anyway, so that's even more of an incentive!

now all i have to do is get a date...

is this thing for real

nothing much has been going on the past few, i had another bad date, well not bad per se, but not promising, not sure those things go hand in hand. Anyway, tonight I have to go to NY for a friend's wedding. I'm wearing my roomates dress which is a little tight so instead of sitting on my ass here and typing this out, i should be at the gym, trying to make this thing look more flattering. oh well, anyway, I'm taking the red eye and plan to drug myself up with ambien to make sure I fall asleep instead of being kept awake by the overweight person next to me who hogs all the room, particularly the arm rest. Did you know that they have seat belt extendors?? Now, like I said I'm no slim jim but If i'm asking the flight attendant for a seat belt exetendor, i'd like to think i'd take a good hard look at my life and think maybe it's time to dial back on the doritos if you knwo what i'm saying.

dentist

I went to the densist this morning. I had to get a crown placed on my tooth. now I dont' know if you're familiar with a crown, but it's this tooth colroed thing they put on your toothe after a root canal. the tooth is dead and basically all but gone, so they take an impression of your tooth, send it off to some laboratory and charge you $1200 for it. Now yes, insurance pays for 1/2 of it, but still $600 is a fucking lot of money. anyway, so after a month of waiting for it to be made, i summon up the courage to go to the dentist to get it cememnted onto what's left of my back molar. dr. vander picks up the crown with a pair of tweezers, sticks it in my mouth and immediately proceeds to drop it down my throat! MY THROAT, DOWN IT GOES!!! I freaked out, started choking and somehow coughed and coughed because I was not letting this $1200 little thing go down my throat. I finally coughed so hard, I expelled the tooth, it came flying out of my mouth, flew across the room and hit the wall and landed on the floor. now i'm a germaphobe, but after all that I let the guy put the tooth in my mouth. I feel like i should've gotten a discount of some sort. don't you agree?

anyway, no news on my dating life this weekend. instead i went snowboarding with a bunch of friends in mammoth california. we got a condo and had a blast. the weather was perfect, the snow was amazing and even though I had to sleep in the bunk room with the rest of the single folk, it was worth it!!

first date

okay so i went out with this guy, we'll call him James, total first date, met him on the internet. Anyway, he shows up and he's totally cute, great, finally, super cute dude. Then he opens his mouth. all of a sudden Isaac mizrahi voice comes out. yes, he has a major effeminate lilt. Which is fine, so some men have a high voice, that's just fine with me, but when he told me how much he loved musicals and then went into vivid detail about how joey and dawson should have been together at the end of Dawson's creek. And i'm not talking just ssaying that, but going through season by season including season two where Joey was always working on dawson's projects and didn't have her own identity, so he can understand why they would break up then, but once she came into her own, he thought they should've gotten back together. So my only assumption is this guy is gay, is that wrong? even if he isn't, it's weird how a guy can be so cute, so smart (ivy league education) and me not be attracted to him, HOW IS THAT HUMANLY POSSIBLE?

First Day of School

Hey everyone, this is my first blog. I'm very excited! It's also my first full day as a 30 year old! Not necessarily a happy day seeing as i'm still single. However, I have a great job, so i guess that piece of the puzzle is temporarily in place.

married people keep re-assuring me that being married is not all that it's cracked up to be and being single is where it's at. i tend to believe them, although as the ol' saying goes the grass is always greener... I'm perfectly happy with the way my life is going, if i could only get the dating thing down and for one split second truly get inside the head of a man to understand the thought processes. Like i often wonder if there's a synapse or a million synapses that aren't firing properly in their brains which causes them to act the way they do. At least then i could understand why they treat women so poorly (or is it just me who likes the ones who don't return phone calls for weeks and when they do, they never mention that they've been MIA for 2 weeks)

enough about that for now, my dating disaster stories are too many to sit and type in right now, i'm sure i'll fill you in over the next few entries (or over the rest of my life...)
