Above: Saturday night's dress
Stayed home sick today. Felt very dizzy this morning, and nauseous. And no, I'm not pregnant! Not even a remote possibility unless it was through immaculate conception. Maybe a food baby, though! Food poisoning? Dehydration? Maybe Night Man or Deja New (I tried going in for my patented cheek press with the latter, but he intercepted and planted a big one right on me) was sick. But they were so short and fast, so it doesn't seem likely. Dunno. Exhaustion? Whatever it is, I'm home now and have time to do my stats. I've already spoken about these guys before, so there's nothing new here. Just for the record, to keep up with the number assignments:
BACHELOR #5: DEJA NEW
OCCUPATION: Former mechanical engineer/ Current Real Estate Investor
ETHNICITY: White
AGE: Late 40s
RED FLAGS/ DOWNERS: Tries to pawn a lot of the dating work off on me, in terms of driving and arranging things. Has a young son (6 years old). His ex-wife lives a mile away, but there's supposedly no drama there.
BONUSES: Retired 10 years ago, so now leads a very stress-free, fun lifestyle. Lives a few blocks from the ocean. His kid mostly lives with his mom. Likes Seinfeld and is pretty funny. Is spiritual but not religious (although he mentioned some Christian Scientist church, uh oh), and eats health food. Is tall and from the same region I am. Is a Pisces!
BACHELOR #6: MR. SHOW BIZ
OCCUPATION: Executive at a t.v./ movie studio
ETHNICITY: Black (both parents from one of the islands)
AGE: 40
RED FLAGS/ DOWNERS: According to his profile, he wants his date to make over 50K- sorry! That bus doesn't stop here! Has a kid who mostly lives with his ex-wife. Is religious, but does not think I'm going to hell and promises to not push his beliefs onto me.
BONUSES: Is a Scorpio, yay! Has a bunch of letters after his name (degrees, etc.), well-traveled, we watch the same shows. Good looking, smart and personable. It's very easy to talk with him. He takes everything in stride and didn't write me off when I acted crazy.
BACHELOR #7: THE ENFORCER
OCCUPATION: Federal Law Enforcement
ETHNICITY: Latino (hasn't specified further)
AGE: 29
RED FLAGS/ DOWNERS: Immature and gauche (although funny) sense of humor, usually reserved for those you know better. Is a Leo, a sign not compatible with Cancers. According to his profile, he's only looking for Asians, Latinos, Pacific Islanders and Whites. Nothing about Blacks. I asked him about that and he said it was a mistake, an over-sight. I pretended to believe him, but I don't. If it doesn't matter to you, you just click on all of them, or you don't click any of them. I hate it when people regard me as an exception to some sort of racist rule they have in their heads, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for signs of racism.
BONUSES: HOT. Similar politics. Is easy to talk to and very easy-going.
BACHELOR #8: CREOLE MAN
OCCUPATION: Senior Exec for a national real estate company
ETHNICITY: Creole: Black/ Spanish/ French (looks kinda like me)
AGE: 42
RED FLAGS/ DOWNERS: Divorced with two kids (kids live away from home, yay). Is a Sagittarius, a sign incompatible with Cancers. Likes to make last minute dates.
BONUSES: Well-traveled, highly educated, politically liberal, spiritual but not religious
In other news, there was a 5.0 earthquake last night. My sister and I were really freaked out. We clung to each other under a door frame as our house rocked and shuddered. Our dog followed us and hid under our legs. It seemed to last forever. That's the only thing about LA that I just can't handle.
Going back to bed now...
It's interesting reading your pros and cons. Now all you need to do is get rid of this zodiac nonsense and you'll be able to make logical decisions based on the person, not some type of stereotype from his date of birth!
ReplyDeleteWait, was that too sarcastic? :)
Oh, Avitable, I would be disappointed in you if you weren't sarcastic! There's always a kernel of truth in what you say.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, I'm a Cancer through and through, and I've noticed I tend to gravitate towards certain signs without trying, so maybe there's something there... I am still seeing the non-compatible zodiac sign guys, however, so I'm not THAT into horoscopes. But I would be happier if I knew our chemistry not only worked here on earth, but was also "written in the stars" ; )
I really like the tone of you blog, in that we are virtually doing the same thing at the same time, although you have a much more methodical and focused approach than I do.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've only got one month, Rob, so I'm going to get my money's worth! lol : )
ReplyDeleteYou and your sister? Ahem, she may've went under the door frame for stability and support, but I don't believe that she was clinging to you. Why you gotta make her sound like a wimp? I bet she was cool as a cucumber and even came up with a game plan (although it involved waiting outside for the aftershock to pass... which didn't come until 2 days later).
ReplyDeleteOh, Booga! You're such a card! If you say so...
