Today, I clicked the 'Chemistry' thing again, and found someone who's a 100% match! What does that MEAN anyway?! I've been thinking all day about the term 'online dating' and what an oxymoron it really is. Online - sitting at a computer screen, reading something someone else has written through the lens of your own experiences. Dating - going OUT with someone to get to know them better. Usually it means *in person*... so when you put the two together... NO WONDER it's such a strange, bizarre, most unreal experience.
What else do I want in a partner-in-crime? Someone who likes themselves. Someone who LIVES for themselves, and doesn't live vicariously through their children. Someone who doesn't have to look up vicariously. Someone who is willing to pick up that copy of "The Automatic Millionaire" that the single guy left on the bus because he'd finished it, and read it, then leave it on another bus for someone else to take to heart (or laugh at, and discard on a bus). ;?>
Tonight, I stopped by Tony's fruit stand, and picked up some fresh corn, and avocados. The corn went on the Weber, and made a great supper. The avocados - a funny word for a fruit that makes a great chip-dip... look up THAT one, and see if you don't laugh - are for guac... natch. But that will wait for tomorrow night. No more 'viewed me' clicks tonight. No more clicks or cliques or kilometers for that matter. Unwatched Netflix's (what *IS* the plural of Netflix... NetFlixes??) beckon. Time to spend less time with the online oxy-dating moron.
