The Dateable Dork, version 2.0
That’s right, my peeps: I’m back! : )
For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s the 5-minute synopsis: I had a blog for about a year. It was friggin awesome. I wrote all sorts of crazy shit about my dating/sex life. Guys faded in, and guys faded out. But throughout all this, my cute little blog kept me sane and provided a therapeutic outlet for me to rant and rave to my little heart’s desire. My blog was my baby. We had a great relationship. It didn’t even leave the toilet seat up like all the guys that I dated! Wow. Then one day one of the aforementioned guys I was dating stumbled upon my little blog, read all the aforementioned crazy shit about my personal life, and dumped by ass hardcore. Ouch. Not only was I totally embarrassed and bummed out, but I was nervous about people in my real life (e.g, boss, clients, mom and dad) finding the site and having a similar reaction. So I killed my blog. Then I proceeded to feel like shit for two months until I came to a very important conclusion:
This blog makes me happy.
Yes, my dears, it’s that simple. I spent a lot of time trying to think of all sorts of great excuses for bringing this blog back, trying to please every possible person who might stumble across this site and wonder why the heck I’m back here putting all my personal shit out on the internet. I would lie awake in bed at night coming up with excuses. It was totally friggin ridiculous and a complete waste of time. Then one day I went for a walk on a nice fall afternoon, and as I was breathing in the fresh, cool air, the “blog = happiness” conclusion hit me like a firm slap on my sweet little ass.
Mad props and many thanks to a trusted friend who, upon hearing that I killed the old blog, replied with this little gem:
“DD, that is a really stupid idea.”
So simple! Who knew? Another friend’s response:
“What?!?!?!?”
Apparently I was the only one who was in the dark on this issue, and people, I have seen the light. Hence my triumphant return. Ahem.
So that’s the story. I heart blogging. And you know what else? I miss the blogosphere (that means you). Yes, you should feel very special. One thousand virtual orgasms to everyone reading this. So glad to be back!
Deliciously yours,
DD
Woo hoo! Way to go, girl. It would be no way to start off 2009 without a little blog action. Congrats on your triumphant return!

December 9th, 2008 at 7:06 pmThat’s right, writing is very therapeutic. I’m protective of my true identity too, but it’s possible to stay anonymous so long as you don’t share the wrong details. Either way, welcome back
December 9th, 2008 at 7:13 pmWelcome back!!
December 9th, 2008 at 7:55 pmDD,
My “After Dark” group of blog feeds is filled with dabauchery, wankery, swingery, sluttery, and all manner of things we wouldn’t discuss with our moms. Yours was at the top. Your adventures were not unlike a baby bird discovering that it can fly.
Welcome back. I spotted your blog announcement in my inbox (on my PDA) and had to rush home to see what it is that you’re up to. Yes, I have a bit of a cyber-crush on The Dork… So sue me!
December 9th, 2008 at 8:17 pmDo me do me do me!!!
So glad you’re back, can’t wait to read your smokin’ hot posts!

Holly – Yes, everyone deserves a little blog action, don’t you think?
Claire – Yay, thank you!
Chris – Aww, how sweet. : ) If only I had a Dorkmobile to go with the new blog…
Saturn V – Thanks!
Mr NYC – Wow, if I can make New Yorkers happy, that’s saying a lot. LOL.
Virgin – Thanks! I’ll have to talk about the whole anonymity thing in another post. Suffice it to say, I’ve learned my lesson.
fionna – Thank you!
RM – Oooooh, your comment is quite delicious, yes? I’m glad to have made your “after dark” list. About the cyber-crush… no legal action necessary… I’m quite flattered. : )
Lance – Thanks! We never did get to have sex, did we??? I’ll be waiting for Big Daddy Lance to come rescue me from the sea of ball-less, boring men that I see everyday. Oh baby.
Martinisand PR – Me too, thanks!
KT – Thank you!

December 9th, 2008 at 10:05 pmHammer – Hahaha, glad to hear things are working out for you. : ) And I still say that you’re way too young for me… and I’m too young to be a cougar!
Brad – Yeah, me too… : )

December 9th, 2008 at 10:10 pmYou may have missed your chance with Hammer, but I’m still available!
Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out. Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about.
December 10th, 2008 at 12:07 amGlad to see DD! Remember what I said…its a good thing that it happened early then after 6 months of being devoted and committed to him, where it would have REALLY hurt. If he was going to react that way, then he was never meant to be in the first place. His loss – not yours.
December 10th, 2008 at 7:56 amYour blog makes me happy, too! I’m so glad you’re back.
December 10th, 2008 at 9:07 amYAY!!! I am so glad to see you back…you were truly missed!!
December 10th, 2008 at 9:54 amMichael – Oh baby, bring it on! Thanks for the kind words. I’m very glad to be back. : )
Alexander – Thank you. I completely agree that it was better to have found out sooner rather than later (for him as well as for me), and I really do wish him well. I’m a little crazy, and I guess I need a guy who can handle that!
Iris – Awww, thank you!
Dee – Thanks! I really missed you guys too.

December 16th, 2008 at 3:01 pmHOLY SHIT I CAN NOT BELIEVE I FOUND THIS AGAIN!!!!!!!!
I accidentally hit the old link in my favorites today, and it instead did a search for you and I find this awesomeness.
I can’t wait to read all this and live vicariously through a hot New York woman!!!!!
January 8th, 2009 at 9:39 amDD, i found you by happy accident over at Honey and Lance’s place and am here to stay.. I absolutely love your blogs and am starting from scratch (ie back here in Dec 2008) to read them all. You are so funny, clever and, (wait for it)…. NORMAL. Yes,dorky, sexy,insightful, angst ridden, like the rest of us. And hey, isn’t it great when some thing so personal and intimate as sex can be shared by all of us and know EXACTLY what you’re talking about when you describe your fantastic fuck. Shit, you make me feel normal in the best way possible…keep writing, sister…maria
November 6th, 2009 at 12:01 pmMaria – Thank you for the very kind words, and thanks for stopping by! Honey and Lance are great bloggy friends, and I’ve been a fan of their site for a while now. Glad you’ve been enjoying their writing as well as mine! : )
