yay for good days

I figured out where my DIY home show obseesion came from . weather. It is very hot. the house is in the mid 80s -- which means outside hit the mid 90s at least. Right now I can't move away from the fan -- and somehow reading doesn't work with a soggy brain

Holy shit. They've arrested and charged someone for the Craigslist killing [link]

Is Jessica around?

Squee! Got it!

the story so far... I got home last night just in time to change and head out with D but somewhere in the middle I dashed off this note to the girl I like on OKCupid...

Hello there!

it's so wonderful to hear from another bi girl. I almost didn't open your message until I squinited and said, "holy cow, a chick!" I gotta be upfront and say I'm no princess. But I love Ethiopian food and I agree we have much in common. Usually I try to arrange a meeting as quickly as possible so that internet communication doesn't prejudice us too much to what we're really like in person. That sentence doesn't make much sense but I'm supposed to be leaving for Santa Monica right now. If you were at Harvelle's later this evening I'd be wearing a union jack tshirt. If not I have more to say and will write you again in the next couple days.

The princess thing is because she states in her profile she's looking for her princess. But she wrote me back already! Here's my response so far...

I knew it was extremely short notice but worth taking a chance. Especially since the thing I need to tell you is that my car is not currently running and because I can bike to work I'm taking a long time to decide whether I want to pay for repairs (again) or buy a new (to me) car.

Carlessness is a big red flag for me and I understand if you want to wait until I get this straightened out. I just didn't want you to think I'm not interested.

If you don't mind driving to Redondo Beach we could meet near my house, see if the compatibility trend continues in person and work from there.

What do you think?

Does this sound reasonable? Desperate? Psycho?

sounds good. reasonable. and interested

cool, thanks.

omnis, I couldn't find your OKCupid profile but I'm not sure they still do the thing where you can talk up other users. They've changed their format and I can't find it anymore.

Ha! Anthony Bourdain just had a random drink on the street of Cairo. he turned to the camera and said "tastes like fernet branca"!!!

Oh crap I'm a total putz. She im'ed me and I was a complete dork. I should have just closed the window.

You do know that "putz" and "dork" both mean penis in Yiddish, right?

I don't think you're a dick.
