No, NOT ridiculous. You sound like me, in fact.

But you sort of have to try, don't you? And he has to feel the same way about possible-meeting-people as well, I'm sure.

And I wish I had something useful to say but I have three minutes to get to a meeting whoosh!

Ok. People. Wish me luck. Going down to the RMV to meet with the devil himself.

Yikes. Just got an email from the professor I'm working with. He wants to discuss why I'm missed recitations and be assured that it won't happen again. This is not someone that I really want to get into all the medical issues with, but I'm thinking there might not be a way to avoid that.

Good luck, vw!

Fay! I x-posted with you -- let me just say, the "accurate grammar" part alone is worth at least one date. That's all you have to do.

Don't talk yourself out of anything because you're envisioning the whole vast landscape of how it could go -- good or bad -- and the will-he-fancy-you part and the will-you-fancy-him part, etc., etc.

Just one date. That's how you figure out the whole do-you-fancy-each-other thing. Don't look any further than one date. Otherwise you'll spook yourself.

Luck, vw!

..so this is the part where my 'flee!' instinct kicks in.

No fleeing! He sounds interesting and you are interesting. Go for it!

Ugh, Hil. I hope it ends up being a productive discussion with understanding on his part.

Fay, there's always the Thai equivalent of "let's meet for coffee." Which at least makes judgmental comments an even bigger faux pas than normal.

I'm no expert on reading between the lines of personals, but it sounds like this guy is looking for a particular personality rather than model good looks. We've never met, but from the photos I've seen, I'd say you are good looking, though more of an English Rose than a Model. And his personality request seems to fit the way you come across here, at least enough to try for friendship.

And his personal as you quote it doesn't strike me as an Internet Weirdo. At least, not in any dangerous sense.

I am so twelve.

Not All Butt Plugs Should Glow

Dude, work/school/life are all eating me, starting with my bottom! LUSH, take me away!!

Katie Holmes is looking really good lately. I always thought she was cute but kind of forgot it in light of the Cruise hookup. Ew.

I'm getting my bob trimmed on Friday. I'm thinking of going a little choppy on the ends, but my hair always tends to curl under at the ends, so not sure the choppy will even show. I'm too lazy to use a straight iron on it every day.
