No, YOUR the best :)

Hi friends.  It's been awhile, I know.  What can I say?  I've just had so much free time on my hands, and I've been so relaxed and not stressed out that I couldn't bring myself to blog about how spectacular my life is.  Oh, wait, I got that backwards.  However, I have recently entered the shitstorm/maelstrom/impending disaster that is dating.  Some of it online, and some of it the result of what happens when I blithely give my number to strangers. 

I have been on a few dates this week, and there is a lot to be said about each. Here's a teaser:  on the first I got the ole "bait and switch" wherein the photos of said person were clearly from another era in their life/taken from a sufficient distance to entirely misrepresent the person's appearance.  I also was the unwitting audience for what I can only assume was a dress rehearsal of a recitation of this man's medical history.  Not joking.  On the second, I went out with someone who unabashedly answered and made phone calls without any explanation or apology.  Call me old fashioned, and I'll call you a dick.   On the third, there was a lot of nervous and enthusiastic rambling accompanied by spitting.  He later admitted to drinking a Red Bull prior to the date.  Sweet.

Additionally, I think you can say a lot about a date judging by the follow-up texts.
