Ted Bundy of Dating

NUNYA....yeah I have NUNYA.

My life is boring. No dating scene. I think I'm the Ted Bundy of dating. Everyone I seem to talk to disappears. Whatever.

...28 days left of school.

Off to Pittsburgh for the weekend. I will have more to post. More exciting news when I come back I hope!

A Way With Words

So it seems that I have a new reader. Yah! For years I've tried to put Uniontown into words. Almost impossible. Impossible for me, but finally my new reader has done it. For those of you I have shared stories with over the years, you'll love this one. Pechin's. I've taken a few of you there over the years to experience (sorry Smitty for making you afraid of a possible lynching.)

Thanks new reader!

Is Anyone Else as Crazy as Me?

Sometimes I think the things I do are pretty crazy. Not the risktaker way, but just, well, crazy. Does anyone else make decisions based upon your horoscope? I do that. Yes, I do. Not all the time, but if my "love forecast" or "career" scope looks good or bad, I will tailor the day to that. Is that strange? It's not consuming my life, but I definitely use them. Funny thing is, if I don't like the horoscope I read, I will search the net until I find one that makes me feel better. I know this is bizarre, but I never claimed to be normal. Other OCD issues that I have....

I won't step on the metal grates, manholes, or other metal "things" covering sidewalk holes. I will do everything to avoid them.
I read magazines from back to front first. (now I did find someone else who does that.)
I have to have hospital corners on my sheets-and I know when they're coming undone as I start to become restless in bed.
I drink my coffee from the side of the mug that is opposite the handle. (Especially in a restaurant.)

I'm sure there are other things that I do that are crazy, but these are a few. Why I'm admitting them to the general public...no idea. I was just thinking about them. Anyone have any strange habits?

Quizzes....I love em'

Okay...so I love quizzes. I just took Jen's quiz of what kind of coffee you are. Is this why I can't pick up a guy??

You Are a Plain Ole Cup of Joe But don't think plain - instead think, uncomplicated. You're a low maintenance kind of girl... who can hang with the guys. Down to earth, easy going, and fun! Yup, that's you: the friend everyone invites. And your dependable too. Both for a laugh and a sympathetic ear.

hmm...that doesn't sound like it will get me a date.

Take this one

What kind of coctail are you?

The bottom line is — you're a complete prize. Just like the South, you've got that fun, sweet, charming personality that immediately draws people to you. It appears that you embrace each moment fully and love to have a good time. You've got a gift for lightening up the mood with your silly sense of humor and with the unique levity with which you approach life.Let's not forget to mention your skills in the romance department — you've got the flirty moves that can attract anyone you've got your eye on. It's as if you cast your spell and there's just nothing left for the victim to do but fall for you completely. It's a great talent to have! And once people know you, they fall even further for your sweet, kind-hearted, caring ways that make you someone everyone wants to have around. So maybe it's time to order a cocktail that can complement your charm.

I like that answer better.

Quick Update...

I know it's been a while since I've posted, so here's a quick update.

Date boy...not sure. I have found out the he's very unreliable, but then started emailing again....whatever. I let my expectations run a little high with him and then forgot-he's a man. Jury is still out.


Got a few other emails. Eh. One is kind of interesting, but it makes me think of Jay's dealbreaker question. This guy (from reading his profile) is a vegetarian. I wouldn't care, but what if he was offended by me eating a big juicy steak? I don't think I could deal with that. Are people still vegetarians? I thought that was a 90's fad.

Tutored a guy down at one of the local colleges for a teacher test. Okay so I'm boy crazy and thought, "Ooh. What if he's cute?" Hmmm....hope he does okay because he was kinda dumb, duh, dumb, dumb.

Golfed on Sunday. Did pretty well for not golfing for 3+ years. (54 on the front and 60 on the back.) Ah... I forgot how much I love it. Have to thank Ex #3 for teaching me. Thanks. Also...thanks to Matt and Katie for going. Need a 4th next time...cute, single, employed, please.

Went to Bingo last night. I know, I know...but, it was worth it. I won $500. Couldn't have come at a better time either! (I bought a dauber, too...YIKES!) I just keeping thinking of the SATC episode when the girls went to play bingo. It was just like that as my friend Shawn and I went. Except it was in a fire hall, there were no drag queens (at least that were in costume) and I wasn't wearing Jimmy Choo's. But I still won $500. Yes!

Went to an Indian restaurant tonight in Morgantown, WV. Very good. I've never had Indian food before so my friend Lynn ordered for all of us. Very tasty, but I wonder if I'll smell like curry tomorrow at school? I'll just blame it on the kids.

I've also realized that I haven't been keeping my New Year's resolution by reading a book a month. I'm behind for April (I think I read two in February so that covered me for March.) I need to get on that. I also need to get disciplined in my writing. I have a fan-fucking-tastic idea on a book. Well, rather the ideas of the past have (hopefully) finally come to a head. Now I just need the discipline to write them together. Any ideas on how to keep focused and disciplined?

And, I just realized I haven't filed my state or local taxes yet. Oops. I need to do that, um, like now.

I've had some REALLY awesome dreams lately. I'm hoping the Indian food helps to follow suit.

I'll try to keep more updated on here. Maybe that will help me to kick my other writing in the ass, too.

Pimple Diddy?

Even P. Diddy is using Pro-Active. Brittany, Jessica and now Daddy. Okay, so I've been up since 4 and watching infomercials. Diddy kept saying "pimple" so often the word sounded weird. According to Puffy, he's got to keep his "sexy."

(Look how many ways you can refer to Mr. Combs. He's so cool he's even his own synonym.)

Thanks Puff Daddy for keepin' yo' sexy.

Don't Shake Your Baby!

I'm driving down the road today and I hear. "Please don't shake your baby. Put the baby down. Take a deep breath. Don't shake your baby. Are you stressed out? Don't know what to do? Just please don't shake your baby. Call 1-800-???????" Bizarre. I never imagined I'd hear this commercial on the radio or anywhere for that matter. I guess shaking your baby is more "popular" than I thought. I'm sure all types of people shake their babies, but I always think of white trash doing that. Is that wrong?
So in case you're worried...don't shake your baby.

Boy, That Was Dumb

So I was just reading my post from last night. Boy that was dumb. Okay...don't post when you're drunk. I'm sooooo nursing this hangover. And, what the fuck? Snow?? Are you kidding me?? Last time I checked it was April.

I Know This Will All Sound Bad...

I know this will all sound bad.

1. The Pope has left the building.

2. I like getting drunk on wine by myself.

I've had a girl's day, day to myself, alone time today. It's been fucking awesome. Ended up with a cold over Easter and then into an sinus infection so I have been happy to take it easy last night and today. Today I cleaned and then did some beauty stuff. If you're interested, check this facial out.
(This is my own mixture so use at your own risk...but it works!)
1 Egg Yolk
2 Teaspoons of Sugar
1 Bag of Green Tea.
Mix together and "smather" on your face. Leave dry about 30 minutes and rinse with warm water. My face is totally smooth and my pores seem smaller. Try if you like.

Other than that, I've done my nails, shaved my legs, deep conditioned my hair and have been listening to music (while watching the NCAA games) and drinking wine. I will say I'm slightly...well almost pretty drunk. I'm pretty when I'm drunk...I'm pretty fuckin' drunk! Who sings that?

I've been out with the "date" a few times this week. Still keeping it low. If/when it starts getting stable I'll divulge. Still NUNYA!

It's funny the music I'm listening to...I find it amusing how music can influence your mood, bring a memory, etc. I hate when I hear a song I've loved and then think about a past ex and I'm like, "Fucker. You ruined that song for me." I consider myself a mini guru of music. I like a lot of different types and can usually name the title and most of the time the artist. My last ex was an idiot with music as far as I'm concerned and ruined a lot of bands for me. Fucker. Oh well. I've recently been back to listening to my Violent Femmes cds (good gym music!) I forgot how much I liked them. I'm also realizing how hard it's getting to type when you're drunk. I'm pretty when I'm drunk....

April Fool's Day

Today is April Fool's Day. I remember when I was around 6 or 7 my dad told me he ran over my bike in the driveway as an April Fool's joke. I'm sure it didn't end up the way he thought as I started hysterically crying. I look back and I'm sure he felt bad, but I have to say...it's pretty funny now. It reminds me of that Jack Handy story of I told my nephew I'd take him to Disneyland. Instead I took him to a burned down factory and told him, "Hey. Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried....

Anyone have any good April Fool's jokes?
