I am truly weirded out by the weirdest thing, which really honestly seriously weirds me out even more.
It's so weird to me that the snow never melts. I didn't think that it would be the kind of thing that would bother me, but I hate when I'm driving down the road and I see all the snow still piled on the side of the street from snow that we had two weeks ago. Why doesn't it melt? I mean, I know why, but ... it needs to melt! It bothers me. Or when I go the the grocery store and there's a big pile of snow taking up several good parking spaces. Melt, dammit, melt! Why ... I mean ... it's still here! MELT!!!
It doesn't matter anyway, because it's snowing again today.
All day.

Just pick an emotion and escalate, dammit!
Yeah, I thought I could do it, but no ... I can't stand beginners.

What made Seinfeld so good was the ensemble.
I hate Larry David. All of his comedy is predicated on someone being an asshole. What I hate worse, is that we live in a society that applauds it. People are idiots.

Chinese New Year is Feb 7 - Year of the RAT
He didn't email back.
I'm back on CL.
I've signed up for another social activity.
There's a robotic kind of motion to everything.
I hear Nashville is pretty awesome.

"What exactly does 'woot' mean?"
Ok, so the improv class is pretty good. We're playing all familiar games and it's stunning how many I've forgotten. I'm enjoying the class ... although ... I can't really say more than that, because ... it ... would be bad. I mean, let's face it. Haven't we all learned the lesson of blogging about one's improv experiences? One thing that I can safely say is ... my new improv teacher reminds me so much of Jonathan Hardison that it's scary.
One guy in my class went to UNC and took a class with DSI. His teacher was Zach Ward. He knew Ross White. On that basis alone, I have deemed him a good guy. That and he doesn't stink at improv. He told me that DSI is now one of the biggest improv festivals in the country. Kudos! That's actually pretty f-ing awesome.
In other news, I got one of the other things on my Xmas wish list. No ... not Brad Womack.

I got crabs at Dick's.
What is going on in my life? Well, a lot. Let me tell you, AY-LOT! Yessirree, bob, a lot.
First of all, I had a date. That's 13 down, 2 to go. Yeah, I'm at the point now where I'm just trying to get these done. It's like the night before your term paper is due and you're just banging that thing out and you don't care if it's good or bad, just done. I'm intently researching dating options now. I'm putting myself out there boldly, in fact, callously, just to get this thing overwith. I'm being aggressive about it. I'm sure it's not attractive.
As for the date: it was bland. Insipid. While he was a nice guy and as much into television as I am (you thought that didn't exist, didn't you, Jen?) there was just no spark. I was talking to someone about it later and she agreed entirely that you have to have spark and you WILL feel it immediately. If it hadn't happened to me before, I wouldn't believe it. But now, I have no interest in someone who doesn't create spark. Yeah, so back to the internet.
The internet is turning into a pretty good place to meet people. Craigslist is nice because it's free and there ARE normal people on there. You just have to play the odds with it. You pick an ad, you meet the person, you see if it's a match. It's a bit like playing Old Maid. Ha ha, get it, Old Maid ... like me ... oh god.
I happened to meet a girl, who placed an ad on CL just for some single gals who wanted to be friends. I met up with her and had dinner. She was nice and we might hang out again sometime. We went to Dick's Last Resort downtown and the waitress made me a hat that said, "Lookin' for a 1 night stand." So, yeah, that's one way to meet people. I saved the hat.
I've been toying with the idea of match.com again. Some friends of mine have had luck with it. But I'd rather not waste money. I think I'm going to try Single Volunteers again, and I'll try something new, like the Young Professionals group. One good group that I've done a couple of times is called Boston Link Up. That's actually really cool. I haven't met too many people with it, but I like the idea of it, so I'm gonna stick with it.
Finally, I'm back into improv. I wanted to sign up for the Level 2 class at my nearest improv training ground, but after much back-and-forthing, it turned out that there wasn't any room for me in the class of my choice. So I could wait til the next session or take the Level 1 class. I went to the Level 1 class. To be honest, I was dreading it. I was so afraid that I was going to spend the next 4 weeks with someone who couldn't understand that "yes, but" was actually a denial. Or someone who thinks that he/she is funny and isn't. Or worse, thinks that being funny is far better than learning what improv is all about. As it turns out, my class was smart and funny. They actually knew what they were doing. So I'm going to stick with it. Once I got into the classs, I found that I missed it so much that I couldn't NOT do it. So ... maybe this will be another venue to find dates.
Because that's really what it's all about. Our purpose in life. To find dates. 2 more to go.
