Actually, I'd be in tears if this weren't so freaking funny.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This is why I NEVER tell my parents I'm seeing someone until it's gotten to being an actual "relationship," whatever that means.
My students have their final exam on Friday. I had two hours worth of office hours today. Only four students showed up. I'm betting I'm going to get a whole ton of panicked emails Wednesday night, asking to set up an appointment on Thursday.

That was my plan. I should have stuck with it. I just panicked, ya know?

Oh, my god, are they *ever* more expensive. So much more that even visiting that site should be an orgasmic experience...which, okay, if they had a "Love of Your Life or Die" guarantee, I'd be less likely to think twice about the fifty bucks, but, you know...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
See, he submitted a job description to some very expensive higher education job sites today, so he completely gets how it is to "put yourself out there."
If it weren't contributing to your stress levels, this would be almost unbearably adorable. If your dad were here, I might have to pinch his cheeks.

You know. It is kind of adorable. He's trying really hard. He means really well. It's just...he so doesn't get it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I tried eHarmony, and the one guy I got along with got snapped up by someone else while we were talking. I did honestly wish the best for him. However, I found many of the guys suggested offputtingly shallow (like those that turned me down because I had no photo available at step 1--even though my profile said that my photo would be available at step 3, which was only a few exchanges down the road) and anal.
I've given up on the idea of internet dating anyway. I don't think it's my thing.
I do, however, like to tease my mother by saying "I'm spending time with this one guy" and then send her into a lather of "But! But!" by either explaining that it's just time, or by telling her strange details about him.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hil is me. My parents just don't need to know things.
