Dating Site Tip #3

Gentlemen, learn how to spell, please. For someone like me, if you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're," I'm less likely to be interested because it shows either a lack of education or that you're a lazy writer. I am a writer and editor, after all.   UPDATE: a woman who has an education will very rarely… Continue reading Dating Site Tip #3

Online Dating – Week 2

So...I'm kidding. Well, not much happening in week two other than I've had no contact with Bachelors #1 and #2, but have had a few phone conversations with Bachelor #3 (aka Nocturnal One) after having drinks and wonderful conversation with him last Friday (the 16th). I met him at 9pm at Barnes & Noble (my… Continue reading Online Dating – Week 2

Online Dating – Week 1

So... I know, I shouldn't start my post like that, with the word "so." It's bad form, kind of like starting a sentence with "anyway" or any number of other words I don't feel like typing. So...I had over 250 hits on my dating profile the first week. I'm not sure if that's good or… Continue reading Online Dating – Week 1

Dating Site Tip #1

Guys, when you give your personal contact info (such as an email addy or your yahoo IM) in the VERY FIRST email because you don't want to deal with the dating site, that's an immediate disqualification from the dating pool. Seriously. Now go take your time out by the locker room. *blows whistle*

Online Dating and Me

Okay, so some of you know, if you've been paying attention, that I signed up for an online dating service during my apparent inebriated state after coming home from Atomic night in Scottsdale on Sunday, September 4th. I'll admit, even with the buzz I carried, I was a tad nervous about the prospect. I mean… Continue reading Online Dating and Me

Pay It Forward

There's a very nice woman in my apartment complex who has become a good friend for Umi. They sit outside at night and chat, check in on each other when I'm not around...and when I am, and text each other almost every day even though they live roughly 200 feet from one another. Yes, it's… Continue reading Pay It Forward

Alas Poor Jinxie…

I'm just exhausted from the past weekend. Let me tell you why... Last Wednesday afternoon, I left for Chicago to spend the weekend working the Zombie Survival Crew booth at the Wizard World Comic Convention, since, y'know, I designed most of the ZSC gear, and because I hadn't been to one of these things since… Continue reading Alas Poor Jinxie…

28 Days

No, I'm not talking about the Sandra Bullock movie, nor am I speaking of 28 Days Later, which everyone thought was a sequel to the Sandra Bullock movie. Boy, did they ever get a surprise! Come to think of it, it very well could have been a sequel....but that's not my point. I'm doing a… Continue reading 28 Days
