My misadventures on display for all to read.

Dating Chronicles - Commentary

I have learned that a date can go one of two ways: well guided or completely off course. This aligns fairly well with how I tend to dance. 

My undiagnosed boogie down syndrome.

Despite my tendencies for graceful chaos, I still have friends who particularly enjoy supplying me with their two cents. What are friends for if but not a lovingly honest and supportive peanut gallery? Allow me to share with you the dating commentary my friends so willingly bestowed upon me.

Well, dear friend, I’m just glad that you’re out there and experimenting.

CatholicGelt is right to not take up all the offers - I personally saw the choices out there and many are less than appealing. Good luck with the next one CatholicGelt!

You made me laugh at “looks like one of my Russian relatives.” Don’t hate on your “kind”, You may just find your soulmate in the face of your 80-year old uncle.

Although I am a bad friend for reading these more than 24-hours after-the-fact, I am quite thrilled with the continuous updates. Before long, you’ll be one of those girls where I can’t keep all her “boy toys” straight.

Like Swedish Lief, I am behind on reading the updates. But I do agree that posting 56 dates may be a sign of desperation. Or instead, it could be a sign of someone who “lives” on sites like How About We and Facebook. Hmm, that reminds me of your own self-description, CatholicGelt: “Facebook is my home.”

Maybe the 56 date guy deserves another chance, then?

This is amazing!! Keep up the updates!

At least you don’t yet have a story like mine...where the quadriplegic guy told me that he lowered his standards after his accident and now he is open to dating girls who looked like me instead of only dating model-types! Classic!

We should combine forces to write a book on dating experiences when all of this is said and done!

It’s a jungle out there! You are in my prayers!

Fugly Doodle Friday - Congo Line

Wait, what?! Don't blame me, blame the vodka.

I recently flew on a trip and raced my way to the counter when they announced overbooking the flight. I earned a $400 voucher, first class, two meal tickets, and round trip taxi fares. When I boarded my 8:30 am flight the next day, I saw that the men seated next to me had Bloody Marys. I had no idea you could get those since I tend to purchase the least expensive seat possible, normally located near the toilet.

After three of these tasty Catholic treats, I took out my doodle notebook and started to sketch. Why an elephant? I came to a revelation that the plane in the air weighs somewhere around 45 African elephants. However, when I tried to draw elephants flying in the sky, I accepted my shortcomings and decided to draw one and a half really good ones in the Congo Basin.

You have got to love Delta Airlines when it asks for volunteers.
