The Dateable Dork

Lately I’ve been reflecting on the state of the dating market, and I’ve come to the same conclusion that I’ve reached again and again: I’m extremely picky when it comes to someone I’d actually consider dating, and once I do find someone acceptable, what are the chances that we’ll actually have chemistry and hit it [...]

Just checking in!  Not much has been going on lately – not much to write about.  BUT, I just had to share the following little tidbit: as I was surfing through grad school websites tonight, I started getting extremely excited and I noticed that clear salty liquid droplets were leaking out of my eyes.  DUDE, [...]

The strangest thing happened to me today.  I got up this morning, all excited about having the day off from work, and I headed out to buy an ice scraper for my car before getting to work on my school applications.  Suddenly I found myself in a shoe store (umm, how did that happen?), hemorrhaging [...]

Hot Marine took me out to dinner tonight, and guess what I managed to pry out of him?

I hate to say it, but my beloved little blog has been really taking a backseat these days.  Primary reasons include the following:

My life has been overwhelmed with (a) my transition to a new company and all the associated BS that goes along with it, and (b) grad school applications.  In essence, all my free [...]
