Expect a message soon. We'll hang out, even if I have to pick you up. Are you going to the Pains of Being Pure at Heart show tomorrow?

Oh, Morbs -- sorry I missed you. Another tight schedule for both of us.

xp maybe!

i would like to but i might be at a graduation party for my brother's gf

Whatevs. I'm picking your ass up sometime this week. I'll mow through palm trees and shit.

ha, okay. i have a car now tho, so no worries.

Awesome. Let's meet for drinks then -- maybe in the Sunset area?

yeah that works

Sunday all good?

sure

I'll send you a message tomorrow -- if you don't respond well to my shit about Janelle Monae, it's over.

wait, who is RR?

just checkin

hey, I went to tabes' fab reading last night but we forgot to take a shirtless pic together.

So this guy messaged me on LOLkcupid and in the course of about 48 hours we talked on the website, talked on AIM, started texting each other, and got coffee in Philly. He thinks I'm way adorable or something and wants to do a dinner date. Omg.

My problem is he's like way cute and I want to really like him but I don't think I'm immediately attracted to him? But I want to get to know him better.

Awesome! Yeah, it happens enough on the internetz to keep typing one's credit card number every month (I met two of my best boyfriends online). Good luck, Stevie.

I want to post a picture but that is v creepy

I met and spent much of the day hanging with this cute artist guy from Colorado Springs yesterday. Not really sure which side he butters his bread on, but I have my suspicions.

Bun side.

Buns side?

I never want to be in a relationship, but god help me if I spend another day utterly alone as I did on Saturday.

"I never want to be in a relationship"

why not?

Yeah, you're not allowed to be more extremist than I am.

When I say "ever," I still mean "right now."

so for at least until tomorrow...

Went to a club/bar called Danny's in Bucktown on Saturday. DJ was okay, some poor transitioning between tracks. Mixed crowd but there were definitely some gay boys there, but it seemed like they all knew each other and I would have felt weird asserting myself. Maybe next time. :)

oh this is Daruton for those who don't know

also, I just found my Hot or Not profile from 2005. Hahahaha.

man, Chicago gay bars (except Big Chicks) are the worst.

I've been to Danny's! With deej.

Great place. Not a gay bar, though.

hit fannys
chillin w/ deej at danny's

ha

My glasses have a scratch from when they fell on the dancefloor there :(

J0rdan and I hung out a few hours last night. Great guy!

k so i signed up for okcupid back when it seemed like u all were and it was fun and i filled out a profile, did a couple of those tests (but they're kinda boring) and then pretty much forgot abt it. but just there a week ago two ppl added me as "favourites" (?) (the only other person to do this was Stevie D!) In my memory though i recognised that 1 of the guys might be this customer who I kinda got a weird sexual tension vibe w/ when he used to come to the shop but hes kinda stopped. Might not even be the same guy though, and he has no info on his profile except for photo and age?

the other day okcupid sent me this email:

subject: we have data on your attractiveness

body:
We are very pleased to report that you are in the top half of OkCupid's most attractive users. The scales recently tipped in your favor, and we thought you'd like to know.

How can we say this with confidence? We've tracked click-thrus on your photo and analyzed other people's reactions to you in QuickMatch and Quiver.

"data on your attractiveness"

I can hear Prince intone this on 1999.

not looking forward to getting the attractiveness email. do you think they give you tips on improving though?

anyway just emailed some guy off it, theres like eight ppl in my area so theres a helluva lot of arse sniffing

ew that's a gross term

good for u though! go through with it!

let's start a dating site called Arse Sniffing

I am considering going to the Folsom East thing -- haven't been since they started charging $10 for it --on Sunday.

I got the attractiveness thing after posting a photo taken with a webcam. Shitty photo quality = hot, apparently.

someone on okcupid called me ugly

OH MY GOD is it this Sunday?? Fuck, I'm going to miss it for like a 4th year in a row. GUYS are you going to come visit me at NYC Pride Fest at SummerStage on saturday? Please?

Also wtf j03 are you serious??? They just said "you're ugly"?

I've essentially been called ugly/annoying as people I've messaged visit my page and never respond.

oh that happens all the time to me. But i mean don't you do it too if you're simply not interested?
rather than send a msg and say "oh hey, it's cool that you like but I just don't find you attractive!"

context: he sent me an IM, i ignored it, i checked in the next day, he had written me more msgs while i was offline that were like "wtf, even ugly guys ignore me"
