Killer Personality and Deep Pockets

I have a special double post for you today. I think I’ve snapped a little bit due to the snow, again. I got into work and decided that I couldn’t take it anymore. Then I posted the following ad on craigslist:

Wanted - A guy with a killer personality and deep pockets. Must be able to fund the lives of my friends and me with lavish vacations and relocation to a beautiful island where we can party all night and day. Let’s get out of the snow!!

Ten minutes later I saw I had my first reply in my inbox. I was excited, creating my resignation letter in my head, as my right index finger reached on the mouse to click the email open. I received this email:

What are you a fucking whack job? Who the hell do you think you are? Get a job!!!!

About an hour later, I received the following email from craigslist:

Continuing The Affair

Newsflash – the Married Guy texted me last night. (reference - see Feb 10 – “Married Life” and Dec 09 – “Cheater At the Beer Garden”). So this was a first. (His wife must have fallen asleep early or something, which freed up his night.) We went back and forth quite a few times, which is unusual for him. (His wife must have gotten in a fight with him last night before she went to bed early.) We had hung out last weekend and he wants to hang out again this weekend. I told him I had some up in the air plans and to give me a call to see if I’m around and we left it at that. Interesting. The saga will continue, I’m sure.

Love is….shoveling….?

I’ve fallen in love. It was a dark snowy, wintery day. I was at work. We’d been out a few times prior. He offered to come to my work, pick me up and help me shovel my car out. I gladly accepted the offer. The Fireman arrived at 3 PM, we had early work dismissal due to the massive amounts of snow that was falling. I went downstairs to meet him. I was so happy to have a ride, thinking how much better it was to not have to walk through the snow to get to my train, take the bus, then walk through the snow again to get home. My heart was already falling. It was a little scary driving, they hadn’t cleared all roads just yet but we made it to my place. As soon as we got there, I took the shovel out of my car and the Fireman went to work. Digging the snow out at an extremely fast pace, I realized at this moment, I am in love. I realized, I want someone to do this for me every time it snows. I want someone to do things for me all the time, in fact.

Clearly, because someone shovels my car out of the snow is an excellent reason to fall in love. Clearly.

I don't see you if you don't see me

I was taking the Path train home on Friday night and ran into someone that I had gone out with on one date a few weeks ago. We both pretended not to notice each other. Thankfully I had my cell phone game on me so I could turn my full concentration towards the game. He got off the stop before me and hightailed it out of there.

The date was ok by any standards. He actually has a job, some sort of engineer, has his own place in Jersey City, not with his mom, had more of a life than his job, had some key stories to tell the night we met that were non work related, but there were no sparks. I’m sure he felt the same way too. He was actually pretty boring. For a good part of the night, he talked about this girl that was his frienemy. She was his roommate in Florida, moved to NY, stayed with him for a little while, then she flipped out and thought he was in love with her (apparently she’s a bit of a drama queen). This went on for a while. I kept suggesting we get another drink but he was saying he was good, I didn’t want to look like a complete lush, next time I shouldn’t care as much how I look.

We did the “nice to meet you, let’s do it again” text afterwards but it was left at that. I believe we both knew we wouldn’t hang out again. And NOT seeing each other on the Path just solidified this.

The Boundary Overstepper

There’s another psycho on the loose, his name is Boundary Overstepper. Another guy that just doesn’t take a hint or know when to walk away. So I asked him, what is he thinking, what is going on in his head. As this little dating experiment goes on, I think I’m getting more and more jaded and less, um, what’s the word…nice. Sometimes I just can’t take it, I can’t help it, it just comes out.

So here we go. I started talking to this guy at the end of January, we had exchanged a few messages on the site, moved it to cell phone, he called once but I wasn’t around and he left a message, then I had to leave for South Carolina. I thought being gone for a while was a good way to clear some people out. And it was. But not for Boundary Overstepper.

Here he is with his constant texts. This is something I just don’t understand. If someone doesn’t reply to a text, why do people keep texting, as if that person didn’t get the text or forgot or something. Also, keep in mind that in between these texts, he would IM me every single time I signed onto the site, which I would also ignore. It got to the point where I was scared to even sign on and check messages! Finally, between 2/17 and 2/21, he IM’ed me and I asked him to back off. Obviously that didn’t help AT ALL:




Here I am being um, what’s the word, oh yeah, mean. And here he is coming up with excuses and lies, last time, yeah right:



He used his own language for this, “overstepped boundaries”, which clearly implies to me that THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS. It’s not me, it can’t be. Please don’t let it be me. Right??

Belated Valentines Day

Since Valentines Day was on a Sunday with President’s Day following I forgot to write about my awesome day. It’s one to be proud of. I had hung out at a friend’s the night before, we ended up drinking so I stayed over (I had driven there). We didn’t wake up until 1 or 2 pm, went to get Chipotle, and I went home with a stomach ache (thanks Chipotle). The highlight of the day happened next. Ready? Wait for it…..wait for it…..Ok, NOW: I watched Whip It on netflix by myself. I feel asleep around 9 playing this super fun game on my phone that I’m addicted to (Tap Tap Revenge 3) only to be woken up around 11 by this neurotic guy that keeps making and cancelling dates on me. Which leads me to part two…

When I first started talking to Neurotic, he seemed really funny. His actual craziness is probably why he has seems funny…at first. We had a second date set for 2 weeks ago. He called to cancel, didn’t really give a reason, and asked to reschedule. So it was rescheduled for the following Tuesday. The Sunday prior (V-Day) he calls. Wakes me up. Tells me he has insecurities (great). Something about he went out on Saturday night, he thought it was a good time, the girl came down with a headache. Which made him insecure about going out with me. Something about how he would have liked for me to reschedule sooner than a week from when he cancelled – hello crazy, what’s up? Keep in mind, HE IS THE ONE THAT CANCELLED ON ME ORIGINALLY. I basically talked him down from the ledge, told him to chill out, stop thinking about things so deeply, I’m not that girl, when we went out it was fun, blablabla, whatever it took to get him off the phone so I could go back to sleep, watch tv, or play my phone game. Tuesday comes, he sends me a text: “Between the snow and shame – tonight is not a good night for me. Hopefully you understand”. Here is what is going on in my head and what I want to say to him in my head – “go fix your mental issues and then come back and talk to me, you Neurotic psycho and I can’t deal with your insecurities at 42, I have my own issues!” There, just had to get that one out. Thank you for reading. He texted me last night asking me out for this weekend….

PS - I just think the picture is funny and gross but funny more than gross.

Always Practice Safe Online Dating

I decided to do some “research” for this blog last night. Meaning, it was time to respond to some of these winners. I was on the site, someone IM’ed me through the site, then all of a sudden I had some intrusive anti-virus screen take over my machine. I got a virus! Apparently I was not practicing safe online dating methods. I have no idea if it was the guy that send me the online STD virus or if I already had it maybe. I was so mad though! I had to call Dell and of course PAY to have them help me fix my computer. Lesson learned – always practice safe online dating. I just don’t know how to do that. Do they sell computer condoms at the drug store?

Married Life

(Reference – see Beer Garden from December 2009) So I’ve talking to this dude for a while now. Since December I think, maybe earlier. I’ve hung out with him 3 or 4 times. Each time is cool. He’s 34, well educated, decent looking, nice, semi-funny. However I strongly believe he’s married or living with a girlfriend. And here are the reasons why I think this guy is married.

1.He never has me drop him off in front of his building, it’s always down the street. I had to drive him home twice now I think.
2.He has mentioned that he has 2 cars. He has a Toyota and Jeep. This raised questions but I didn’t ask.
3.He never texts or calls at night, only during working hours
4.The last time we hung out, he got a call, looked at his phone, mumbled “whatever” and put the phone back in his pocket. He said he had to leave like 10 minutes later
5.He asked if I could hang out this weekend. He gave me choice of a. hanging out at my house or b. meeting up somewhere in Jersey City (where we both live)
6.When we initially first started talking, he mentioned that he wasn’t looking for a long term relationship. Which I told him was cool. But it’s weird bc usually people who say that are only interested in a physical relationship. Where this kid hasn’t made a move at all. This part is confusing for me.
7.He moved to Jersey City from South Orange (originally from Connecticut). When I asked him what took him to Jersey, his answer was "family". (his family's in Connecticut)...however please note, I was drinking when this conversation took place, this is the only point I have where I'm not 100%.

I mean, it’s cool. It’s not my problem until he admits he is or gets caught, not like I’m falling in love. At this point I just like watching to see where it’s going to go and trying to figure things out. It’s like an episode of Law And Order. Stay Tuned!

23 - The Final Chapter

This is exactly why I shouldn't have started talking to this 23 year old. This is NOT me being mean at all.

This came out of left field this day. Please keep in mind, I had responded to every single one of his texts for days, all day long. It wasn't always instant because, you know, I have a job and a life but there was always a response. Am I really the crazy one??

Contact with the Virgin

Fear not, contact has been made with the Virgin. I'm am currently trying to establish a solid idea of what he's about in order to move forward. Please stay posted.

Never Joke About High School Girls

I had initially talked to this guy weeks ago. He only signs onto IM at night and I'm only really on during the day we haven't communicated much. Randomly he contacts me today. Note to self, never joke about high school girls again...or joke more about them. Real note to self, people who say they have a sense of humor NEVER really have a sense of humor....

Alex: hey stranger how r u?
ME: hey. whats up.
Alex: 2 days off cuz of snow gotta say im lovin it
Alex: but ive got a cold so i would have been home anyway most likely
ME: must be nice. where do you live?
ME: i worked yesterday and i'm working today
Alex: hackensack U?
ME: dang. where do u work?
ME: i live in Jersey city and work in NY
Alex: teacher in nj
ME: my work didn't close
ME: ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ME: thats why
Alex: those dang teachers...
ME: LOL
ME: exactly
ME: what do you teach?
ME: how to pick up girls online?
Alex: no but could u help me in my online quest
ME: how?
Alex: tell me how to pick up the ladies online haha what s it gonna take

Alex: no i dont teach high school and I dont really like the last comment
Alex: not someting to joke around with
ME: some of these are just jokes
Alex: i know ive got an interesting sense of humor too but dont joke about teaching
ME: too many rules
Alex: rules?
ME: oye
Alex: im listeining
ME: i don't like to explain jokes.
Alex: recently there was a case of a teacher involved with a minor that is all over the newspaper so im sorry if i didnt think it was amusing
ME: was it you, loser?
Alex: no it wasnt

The fact that he replied, especially after I called him a loser is just too sweet. I blocked him after his reply, I couldn't let it continue, someone had to put the conversation out of it's misery.

**IM is kept as is, spelling errors included.

Mikegary

I think this IM conversation speaks for itself. Also. This guy says his name is "Gary", but his IM comes up as "Mike S". Who even knows. I roll my eyes at this entire situation!!

mike s: hi dana

mike s: enjoying the snow
mike s: :)
ME: that's nice. i'm at work.
mike s: ru
ME: do you even know who i am?
mike s: i think i do
mike s: :)
ME: i don't think you do.
ME: we talked on im. it didn't really go that well. then you contacted me on another website the very next week....as if we'd never "talked" before.
ME: do you remember????
mike s: oh yeah

The EU-US Merger Project


Toward:


1)- the Prevention of the Annihilation of Humanity

2)- the Resolution of the World's Major Problems

3)- the Restoration of the Balance of Power on the Planet

4)- the Establishment of World Peace and World Prosperity

5)- the Upgrading of the Global Operating System and the Existence of Humanity

6)- the Rendering of War, Capital Punishment & the Burning of Fossil Fuels Obsolete

7)- the Creation of a Highly Enlightened World Federation

8)- and the Advancement of Civilization


The "timely" solution & advanced global political strategy that i propose (i.e. my very own personal contribution to the evolution of humanity) to solving many if not ALL of the worlds major problems including war, corruption, global warning, poverty, the economy... lies in what i call the "ultimate power move," merging the 2 most powerful governments on the planet, the EU & the US. Precipitating or more accurately quickening the "already-in-motion" Global Unification & Integration process, toward the resolution of the world's major problems, is the overall goal (which includes saving humanity from complete annihilation & destruction of course). Merging the EU & the US will obviously "check" all aberrant countries/nations (North Korea, Syria, Iran...) from doing things they shouldn't otherwise be doing, included in the mix of being checked will be the US & the EU of course. After merging the EU & the US other countries can then be "systematically integrated" as well if they so choose. The "button-up" approach of the "North American Union", that is the US merging with Canada & Mexico, is childs play & essentally "less relevant" compared to the "top-down" approach of an EU-US Merger. The one VERY important caveat/requirement to having a "fully unified & fully integrated planet" is having the "right people" on top, unenlightened heartless half-wits will not only "not do" but they will worsen the already f---ed up & despicable condition of humanity & planet earth & obvioulsy that's a no no. So those impressed with and interested in bankrolling and/or contributing in other ways (i.e. ideas, media attention...) to my Global Business Venture/Independent Work Project you may contact me here. Thanks, Leo (a.k.a. "The Good Borg," "The Way of the Future," "The Director," "Regulator of the Free Market," "True Leader of the Free World," "Commander of the Intergalatic Battle Fleet"...)


Step 1- An EU-US Merger

Step 2- The Institution of Highly Enlightened, Highly Advanced and Highly Evolved Global Policies

Step 3- Aid to Africa and beyond

Step 4- The Inclusion of the rest of the Nations into the Global Union



P.S. - A shift from the old unregulated short-term oriented "Free Market Economy" to the new regulated long-term oriented "Fair Market Economy" (A Green Market Economy)

P.S.S. - Pay Rate/Scale dependent on level and degree of Overall Contribution to Humanity

P.S.S.S. - One "Monetray Unit" to free up the money system to print money at will to allocate accordingly

"XXX,
An interesting vision. And while I would not be opposed to it in the ideal, the practical implications seem abit overwhelming. If Ken Wilber is correct, and only 1-2 percent of the world is at yellow or above, then we may have to wait another generation or 3 to see this plan through to a gentle beginning. Just to many people on the planet still dealing with their magical or mythical past let alone those strung out in the mental world chasing the latest technological rage....."Current" technology not included...LOL... Good luck... Littlesigh

Virgin....continued

I've reached out to the Virgin. Stay tuned for more details. I have no intention of ever meeting him in person but I do have a several questions for him. I'd like to get to the bottom of his situation.

23 Continued

I broke down. I started talking to the 23 year old (see posting 23 under Jan 10)...I'm a cougar. He's actually pretty funny. I might actually see him in person too. I do not like where this is going at all. But now I'm on this train and it's a bit hard to stop. He just kept talking to me when I wasn't replying, telling me stuff about his everyday life. I'm not even sure what to think of all this except that it just makes me feel so freaking old!!!!

Eau De Moth

Date last night. Smelled like mothballs. Why would you smell like mothballs??? He wasn't old either (sometimes old people smell like mothballs), he was 37 or something reasonable. A girl in my dorm during freshman year used to keep mothballs in her room and her roomate flipped out and yelled at her one day. The mothball girl was Chinese. Last night's date wasn't Chinese either.

philman7

A few weeks ago I was added as a “favorite” by philman7. I have no idea what happens when someone adds you as favorite. I guess it’s their passive aggressive way of telling you they like you. Like passing you a note in school where you have to circle “yes” or “no” if you like them back. I’d like to share some of the best parts of philman7’s profile. This site asks you to fill out silly questions. You can totally choose not to fill them out and leave them blank if you want. But here are his answers, unedited, along with the thoughts that went through my head as I read them:

Site question: Things I can’t live without:
His answer: video games
My head thinks: Even if you love them, do you really need to put this as your best foot forward? Are you trying to impress other geeks or actual girls here, philman7?

Site question: Favorite movies:
His answer: Sci-fi/fantasy
My head thinks: Oh, really. Not surprised based on the previous question.

Site question: I spend a lot of time thinking about:
His answer: whatever comes to mine such as (day)dreams, concerns, etc…
My head thinks: Oh boy….really scared to think of those day dreams…

Site question: The most private thing I’m willing to admit here:
His answer: im a virgin
My head thinks: My head doesn’t even think, it just explodes at this point. (he’s 27)

God bless philman7. At least he’s honest. I’m sure he’s a really nice person. I’m thinking of reaching out to him. Try and help him. No, not with the part about being a virgin. But maybe with social skills in general. Everyone needs a little help. Although, he may not appreciate it. Stay tuned.

Photo caption: This is how I imagine philman7 spends his Saturday's.

Sky's The Limit??

For some reason I've been contacted by a lot of really tall people. I have no idea why this keeps happening. It's so odd. I don't lie about anything in my profile, especially height. So they obviously know I'm super short.

Alvin is 6' 7"
Eric is 6' 5"

I know there's been others but this is just last week. I just think it's funny. They are an entire little person taller than me!!
