three places that invited me to guest blog
Get down with your bad self, Erin!
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Good feeling: watching "Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition" while walking on a treadmill at the gym, so that at the end, when the trainer guy is all "She lost 200 pounds while being a single mom and working and having a horrible family, what's your excuse?!" you can be like "What what, I'm working out, little gay man!"
Slightly Creepy Feeling: Being the only person in the gym late at night (no staff members! I'm not sure how the gym "closes" at midnight, exactly...there's a keypad to get in, but before I left I closed the sliding doors...but I don't think I locked them)
Annoying Feeling: Having to take multiple showers in a day, what with the working out.
Now if only I could keep this up while traveling.
Anyone want some gluten-free cornmeal cookies?

Art Crawl!!!
I'm having to take multiple showers during the day without working out.

This is probably my last day with the head PT unless my PCP's call to her boss is successful. Wish me luck. I really hate confrontational situations so I'm a nervous wreck.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

“Not dead yet!”
PT ~ma, sj-- it'll all be good. Just remember, your well-being is what's most important.
IOmeN, we made the decision to enroll Abby in the same school Nate attends. Even though they're very different students with very different needs (and while she's very much a go-with-the-flow student) we did notice her grades dropping this year. Not because the work became harder or anything, but more because she's not being challenged enough. In other words, she's bored out of her skull. And when the outside world bores her, she retreats into AbbyLand, which is a wonderful place, to be sure, but citizenship there doesn't help much when it comes to keeping up with schoolwork. ("Schoolwork? There was schoolwork?")
So we're hoping that going to Chrysalis will engage her on a lot of different levels and encourage that creative side that's such a strength of hers.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
PT~ma, sj. I hope this situation works out in your favor. What a ridiculous unnecessary mess.

Oh, that was me! I hated it when people made me come out of InsideMyHeadLand.
Teppy, my boss violates HHIIPPAA all the damn time. She's been reported, and has never gotten in trouble for it. Probably because no one can prove that it happened. IOW, I hope that stupid bastard gets fired.
Aims, ouch! Have good drugs! But it might have almost been worth it, right, to find out how calm and clear-headed and helpful Em is in emergency situations!
Erin, stop accomplishing so much when you aren't accomplishing anything. You're making us lazy fuckers look bad. hmpf

Barb, that sounds like a good decision! I hope it works out well; it did for Nate, IIRC.
Zen, you can look at my old OKCupid profile if you wanna get some pointers. The fields are probably different for G2G, but it might be helpful. My user name is Pharaby. I never go there anymore, but I've got a couple of friends on there, so I kept the profile up, under MARRIED AND I DON'T WANT TO FUCK YOU.
Be YOURSELF is key

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OMG I kinda joined Geek2Geek and a guy "favorited" me and he's PERFECT ON PAPER. What do I do? I haven't even written a profile; he must have "picked" me based solely on my location and my photo. How do I write a profile for a geeky dating site?
Awesome!
I think the usual thing would be to just send a short email--maybe a few sentences. (Perhaps with a question or two.) If he responds then you could send longer messages.
There's a pretty big variety of profiles on gk2gk. I think whatever you come up with would be good, but you could check out other profiles to get some ideas....
The other day, someone "favorited" me and sent me a "wink" on Geek2Geek, but her profile is hidden, so there's no way for me to respond to her or even find out anything about her.
