Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yeah, too many creeps, indeed.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I think I found the last non-creepy guy on OKCUPID 7 years ago. Though I did have to suffer through a ton of "Shoe me yer titz" and "U look DTF."

Our wings are not tired.
Yikes. I think I am grateful I last dated prior to personal computers.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
One of my girlfriends has been seeing a guy for a couple of years that she met on OKCupid, but she's about the only one I know of. I've never been brave enough to wade into that particular pond.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Completely by accident, I paid off my credit card! (I mean it wasn't like I was all, "Who can keep track of my piles of money?" -- it was more that I knew I was close-ish, but not sure exactly how close, and when it turned out to be $160 away, I went ahead and did it even though my APR is 0.0% right now. I figured why hang on to debt when the APR could pop back up.)
And, of course, this is in time to get 2 crowns on my chalk-like teeth. (One of the many things I miss about Ginger is her commiseration about crappy teeth and getting dealt a bad hand genetically when it comes to the ol' choppers.) And I *really* ought to buy a new laptop.
But still, right now, I will take the damn win.

Yeah, a while ago, I met a guy on OK Cupid that I dated for a while. And I've met a few other guys there that didn't really turn into anything, but they were nice. This time, I've got a bunch of guys from India and Pakistan sending me messages about my breasts. I blocked them, and removed one of my pictures. (I hadn't thought that picture was particularly boob-ish -- I'm wearing a tank top, and it's clear that I have breasts, but it would be clear that I have breasts if I wore anything other than a burka.) And I really like my smile in that picture -- it's one of the few photos of me smiling where I don't look like I'm plotting to kill someone -- but whatever. Maybe I'll crop it or something.

I'm also trying JDate, but so far, none of the guys that I've messaged there have responded. And one guy that I messaged on OK Cupid responded with, "Wow, it's really brave for a girl to message someone on here!" which is starting to make me feel like I'm just doing this whole thing wrong.

I don't understand why people on OK Cupid send messages to people who live on the other side of the globe. Like, what do they expect to get out of that?

Thrive to spite them
I don't know it's weird.
YAY for paying off credit card.
My birthday is Thursday and I'm half way through finishing a job application. Part time. I need to get my start and end dates from my last job and look on my old computer for my resume.
I really need to dropbox that.
My birthday is on Thursday and I'm only having mild anxiety about applying for part time stocking position. Which I guess is progress. It's jsut something that a I don't know, a teenager shouuld be doing not a middle aged woman. WHich I guess I am at this point.
Although last week at therapy I stuck around and made a.. guess it's an art journal page.
"Their intentions are not your goals." And then later I was like "it should be expectations" but it works. I just have to remember it and try to embrace that.
