Snowed In!

Ok, I wasn't really snowed in (the joys of living in the city) but I was stuck in the house for several more hours this weekend. It's been a couple of weeks since I updated, mostly because I've been INSANELY busy but also because not much has happened.

JB Cop and I have exchanged many an email and even talked on the phone for a long time but have yet to meet in person. We're Facebook friends now, which I usually don't allow until I meet someone, but I was DYING to know what he looks like. He's cute - and quite a big/tall guy. With his crazy police academy schedule and my show schedule we just haven't made it work. It concerns me a little as we go into the holidays as I know from experience that it's hard to maintain any sort of connection simply over email. Maybe over the holidays since we'll both be in town.

Later, gators!

Yikes!

Greetings from a snowy and slushy DC. Of course, per usual, everyone FREAKS OUT over a little bit of snow. I am glad I'm in for the night.

Finally got a phone call from D - I had just written him off (isn't that how it always works?). I'll let him sweat it out - call him tomorrow, probably. I can't meet next week, though, because I have tech (hell) week, so I hope that doesn't discourage him.

Just got a closed notice from a guy on eHarmony. The reason was that "the difference in our ages was too great". His age? 39. I am going to be 32 in a matter of weeks - that just made me laugh out loud. Whatever, dude.

Also got an email from a guy on Chemistry. I was kind of iffy about him from the beginning but here's a bit of his email - I just don't think it's going to work out.

=============
Subject: WOOT...you passed.

"Eerrr....what I mean to say is that I inputted your answers into algorithm that rotates a 2 dimensional object in 4D to determine the area under the curve (don’t laugh, it’s an actual class I took back in college for my Aerospace Engineering degree…sadly the only thing I remember from Differential Equations is that …..and that it should have really been called difficult equations instead).

And you nailed the Answer…of course the real issue is “what is the question”? Answer: What do you get when you multiply 6 by 9! Hehe doesn’t even make sense…but that is the point…it’s not the answer or even the question…but the journey that matters (more special when shared!)

I love Sci Fi and wish I had the time…(more if only I would make the time) to read more, so I tend to just watch a lot of Sci Fi TV, Movies, and Anime to get my regular fix. What type of books do you read?
=============
Yeeeeeahhhh.

On another hilarious note, Hils (one of my BFFs) managed to set me up with a guy who lives in my building. Apparently she got his email for me - he's 26 (jailbait!) and a cop in training. At least that would be a convienient date, right? More on that once I get the details. Hell, I'd settle for a little making out, especially if he's super adorable jailbait (and let's be honest - even if he's average!).

Stay dry and warm!

Happy Almost Holidays!

Hello to my three readers! A little radio silence, due in part to an ever-growing rehearsal schedule (shameless plug: check out my next two shows at http://www.landlesstheatrecompany.org), the holidays, and not a lot of activity on the online dating front. Here are some updates/thoughts:

1. I've been emailing with D for several weeks now. He's older (40) and because I'm trying very hard to broaden my horizons, I figured I would expand my acceptable age. I tend to date my age or below. I love the jailbait! Anyway, he seems to have a good job, live in DC and does photography for a hobby. The problem is that between our schedules and then the holiday, we haven't even talked on the phone yet. I hate these online things that go on forever without a meeting - I like it quick and dirty so that we can decide if we are interested in going further without any extra back and forth. So, hopefully we can connect soon.

2. I just got matched with someone on eHarmony that is from Brambleton, VA. Where is that, you ask? Well, I had to Google Map it - it's near NORFOLK. That is certainly not within my 30-mile radius that I specified. Also, within this recent batch of matches, THREE of them had children. I'm not sure if the pickings are slim, but that is also another FAIL on the part of eH.

3. I'm about to do a first - close someone who I've almost made it through the laborious communcation process. His answers to my short answer questions really indicate someone who is depressed. He called himself a spinster AND a recluse in three sentences. Those are some red flags to me. Or, at the very least, someone who is not for me - I don't deal well with the self-deprecating folk. Plus, he lives fairly far away.

That's about it for now. Let's hope I can eek out a date in December. Laters!
