perking up
Go on a date? I've never done that before. Is it tricky?
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It's making me want to vomit.

Why? I gather that means yes, it's tricky, but I'm clueless about the whole ritual. Why is it tricky? Is he someone you care about?

Nope, internet date. And he looks fuun, cute, interesting, smart...I just HATE first dates.
I feel kinda like I'm up on a block, and I should have "caveat emptor" tattooed on my head.

Shouldn't he be feeling that way as well, then? I mean, same deal for him, right? And if you're both in the same boat, why worry?
And no, not really off topic. Stuff about how this stuff works, it goes into how I write. But honestly, I come from the Land of Rockonia, and the quiet forest denizens there rarely dated. We merely hooked up.

Yes, it is the same deal. And I should be fine -- I'm judging him, too. But I'm a hooker-upper too, which is why dates make me all bleargh.
(and no cheap hooker jokes, either!) I'm ready, though. My loins are girded, and I am having a smoke. It doesn't help that this date is at a non-smoking coffe bar. No cocktail, no smokes = stressed dater Erin

Deb, just thought you'd like to know I read "Restless" on the flight home today. Really, really liked it. I can see why he reacted the way he did in London Calling, now. I had a feeling it had to be something like that, but it was nice to see it actually written. A real gut punch.
