OH EM GEE WHY GEE. I am the worst blog hypocrite on the face of the planet. All I can keep thinking is how I am supposed to get a book deal or a TV show if I don't update my blog. Now probably in order to get those things I need to be less obvious but...that's just not my strong suit.
But I digress....fans, online dating and blogging has proved more difficult than I thought. For many reasons that I will over time disclose..it's not you, blog. It's me. Yesterday as I drove to a particularly special encounter my thoughts wandered, as they often do, to my list of things to-do. Top of my list is always, update the blog. But I never do it. Maybe I'm disappointed because my dates, while funny, have been simultaneously depressing. Maybe it's because I'm lazy. Or maybe it's because my internet hasn't been working for a months and months. Excuses fans! And it shall stand no more.
Plus on top of that my friend recently emailed ANOTHER online dating blog. Written in a similar style to mine!!
And here we find ourselves again. I've been bad. There have been dates fans. Online dates. Dates that occurred in the real world but began online. And I did not write about them. As a recent online dating commercial informed me....1 out of every 5 dates starts out online. I looked up some other 1 in 5 statistics...just to you know, compare. 1 in 5 pregnancies end in abortion...literally that's the first thing that came up in google AND bing. 1 in 5 Americans has genital herpes. Equally uplifting. Oh here we go. 1 in 5 people in our world don't have access to clean water. Well thanks internet search engine for lifting my spirits. Whatever, that commercial makes no sense anyway how could they possibly figure out how many dates a person has been on in the first place?
So there has been a choo choo train of special gentleman callers over the past few months. Some were such a let down that it isn't even worth writing about. Some got a little too x-rated too fast. Some were so G-rated I had to sneak away. Best moment was explaining to a guy that Flag day made me feel a little homesick so I'd have to take a rain check. Most important fact is that none have stuck. So...what do I do when life is getting me lonely? Go downtown. Or find something else to write about. I've learned recently that living so far away from most of the people I know and love has led to some pretty interesting situations. I will be writing about them here. Trying to maintain my connection to the online dating world. Trying to keep things cyber. I'll be posting updates to my facebook page but I'm seriously considering deleting facebook and changing to some other internet home. But fear not readers. I'm on vacation and frankly, I need a hobby.
Until next time (which I promise will be very soon).
