Well THAT killed my joke.
Caesar salad dressing guys!
Not easy to make a salad with a bandaged hand.
Oh and small rant: the doctor missed some stitches and I had to go back to have more out....it's a yucky spot to have poked at.

ThatNickGuy Convinced me to give Locke & Key another try. I just finished volume four.
WHY IS THERE NO MORE GODDAMNED LOCKE & KEY!?!?!?!??!

Volume 5 just came out. Albeit, in hardcover, but still!
Also: do you see?! DO YOU SEE WHY I PIRATED THE REST!?
Baker? But you hardly know her!
I messaged a cute girl on Plenty of Fish awhile back. She was much younger than I: only 24. But her profile came across as much more grounded than the average early 20-something. She responded positively, to which I responded back...but then I heard nothing back from her.
And now I see why: in my e-mail, I incorrectly spelled "you're" as "your," one of my most hated common spelling mistakes that I've harped on many people about in the past.
I JINXED MYSELF!

Ever since I uploaded the picture of me holding my book and mentioning it on my profile, there's been a significant increase in messages. Huh, so writers really do get the pussy.
One woman, however, unintentionally (?) insulted me right out of the gate. She said, "Congratulations on the book! I sure hope it's not a comic!"
To which I responded simply, "Why? What would be so wrong with it being a comic?"
Lady, word of advice. Don't go insulting the huge comic book nerd who has a graduation photo doing a shirt-opening Superman pose.
I feel like you should have gone on a date just for the story. "After we put on our tinfoil hats, she explained how DARPA's time-travel program installed Obama as leader in 1976..."
I met my now-wife on OKC.
Met my husband via random IM on Yahoo.
I thought that website was run by Kraft.
The message I'm getting from you guys is "Meet strangers on the internet, fall in love."
Do you all have Stockholm Syndrome or were my parents just wrong about their warnings?

Are those mutually exclusive?
Met my wife on a video game music forum.
Joking aside, and I know the sample size here is small and likely skewed, but I may have to reconsider my previous kneejerk rejection of online dating.
But the crazy ones are the best in bed! Didn't you always want a "crazy ex" to refer back to? Bonus points because she's 18
I met my wife on eHarmony after 1 week of a paid subscription (I think I got 3 months for the price of 1). Her story was very similar.[DOUBLEPOST=1365503682][/DOUBLEPOST]One of my OKcupid horror stories was a young college girl that I started chatting with via text shortly after writing her via the site. We got into a conversation about a report she was doing on Nazi Germany. I don't remember exactly what I said to upset her, but I think it was something along the lines of many people in Germany at the time were effectively brainwashed by fear tactics used by their government. Fear of the "enemy". Fear of their own government. Etc. Basically that not everyone is inherently evil, but the majority of them are easily manipulated.
She DID... NOT... LIKE ...THAT.
After a slightly awkward conversation regarding the nature of man she asked me what I thought of the movie Inglorious Basterds. I told her I quite enjoyed the film. SHE... FLIPPED
Apparently I was a Nazi sympathizer and Jew Hater for my appreciation of a film that was clearly marketed towards the Neo Nazi movement.
I had to ask her "Uh... did we see the same movie?".

I also met someone previously online that Did. Not. Work. Out.
So... bear that in mind.
On the whole, Online Dating is much better than when many of the horror stories of it first started... mainly because virtually everyone does it now.
