Xiong Mao, Freaks and Lies.

So I lied, I admit it, my ego got the best of me. I know I promised no more dating posts but I felt defeated by claiming I didn't like match.com when I hadn't even given it a proper shot. Its hard for me to write something off that I haven't even tried so I extended a month, just one to give it a decent attempt and boy do I regret it. Its not even about finding someone at this point. I'm pretty content with my current situation, well kind of, but recently I've developed an addiction to trying every method possible. Realistically I don't think I am going to find someone over the internet but if I do in fact end up alone with my newly named cat, we will get to the later, I can say yes I gave it my best shot!

How was it you ask? Last night I went out with a leprechaun. Now don't get me wrong, I really don't discriminate against height and its hard to be shorter than me when you are a man but last night I found one of the few people who actually stood eye-to-eye with me. What was even worse was that he actually laughed like a leprechaun. I should of known on the phone when he giggled and it sounded a bit feminine/evil. I was willing to look past the short stature but then he opened his mouth and it was down hill from there. I don't think you should move from so what do you do for a living to....well what's your deal, why are you here, what is your dating history/issues. Of course I appreciate people who don't beat around the bush but this was a bit forward even for me. After I calmly responded I don't have any issues, they didn't work out thats it. What did he expect me to say? He'd already been psycho-analyzing me the first 20 minutes I had to protect my hand. From there he began to tell me how he lives a detached dating life and how great he is for it. Wow, right there the psych minor in me was going oh-boy does this guy have baggage. Some girl hurt him down the line and now he's "detached." Well detach this! I went to the bathroom, came back and said I need to get up early, let's go. Sure I'm opinionated but I am usually very nice, however this guy I was starting to loath. If we didn't leave then we were going to have problems.

I'd like to thank D for the e-mail template, it worked wonders, except he responded! I didn't think a polite, nice getting to know you, don't think we had any chemistry warranted a response but apparently he thought so. His response......usually I wait two dates to say we don't have chemistry but since you decided to say it first, I agree. Whew thanks, another date with him and I might swear off Lucky Charms forever.

One time doesn't necessarily mean I gave match a chance but I feel comfortable calling it quits. You try one, you've tried them all.

Next on my agenda.....crazyblinddate.com.

Rapid quickfire: other happenings in cupcake's life?

I renamed my cat. She was coined Haole by a previous roommate but last week I decided instead I was going to call her, "Xiong Mao." It literally translates to bear cat but means panda. I anointed her with the new name and she looked at me with her cutest angry face, really? You think I'm going to just accept my new name. She continues to ignore me so I may have to settle for it just being a nickname like "Hal." Also she tried to kill me last night for no good reason. Sarah hears a AHHH! smash, cups clink and me say F! She was kind enough to get up and check on me. What happened? Haole leapt off the floor, bear hugged my arm, bit my shoulder and sliced open my forearm.

Day 5 of finals.........only 13 more to go. I have given up looking nice and today tried to sneak by in dressy PJ's. Did I mention some law students are insane? Any day now one of them will lose it for sure. The closest I've seen is a guy who could only manage to ring the bell, stare at me for awhile and all high-pitched say, "Murder." I really thought that was it, this is for sure the one who is going to lose it right here in the office. I've seen him since and he still just stares with his very best Shining face.

Not only are law students crazy but so are the people in my building. A few days ago I forgot something and had to run in quickly to pick it up and this guy coming in behind me says hi. I mumble back hi and take off for the stairs as fast as I could and hear him downstairs going, "Hi! Hi! Hi! Weirdo! Freaking Weirdo! Weirdo!" I could still hear him rambling as I was entering my apartment.
