f|break: mid-week nooner

check yourself ... thanks to my girlfriends who left little support notes - and snarky tidbits - about an on-line okcupid guy who dissed me via text msg before we even met. yes, giving that internet dating site stuff a try, along with actually meeting new people through friends and fun stuff i do. back to the on-line thing this weekend - i should say, i wasn't bummed so much more so surprised. so this fiber break is an almost-date story and a fiber break.

(side note on posting about dating: i wasn't going to post this little, mild tidbit, but i figure i needed to step up the dating stuff. a friend recently scheduled a lunch for me with a guy she wants me to meet - sweet. in addition to yvette's lessons of love from a laptop dancer, i'm digging this guy's it's not a match, so we'll see what dating yip-yap stories may make it on to girlnutkin. from the past, enjoy my friend's perspective about photos to post and then some, my IJAM experience (aka it's a lotta-money-for-a-lunch-scheduler), breakfast buds musing over on-line dating, the booty call (aka 1503 among friends), and stuff white people like and apparently asian girl - me - like).

back to this past weekend ... after about 2.5 email exchanges (because - well, those doing on-line, you know what i mean about the 0.5 email), i called him (because how many times can a guy include his phone number and email addy? one answer: 2.5 email messages). the call and the aftermath went something like this ...

• saturday morning
  
  • me & him (aka 2.5 email msg guy or 2.5 emg): yip-yap, blah-blah, you seem fun, thank you, you're welcome, chuckles, using big words with lots of syllables, jibber-jabber, blah-blah.
    
    • 2.5 emg: chit-chat, yip-yap, i gave you four stars! i don't give stars out very often. jib-jab, blah-blah.
      (note to self: that's 4 out of 5 stars; where's the last star? how seriously do people take that star? oh right! it's kinda like yelp, ebay positive feedback, and like-kind, right?)
      
    • (apparently, after more yip-yap-blah-blah, we passed each others' gatekeeper & keymaster that a face-to-face made sense)
      
  • me: yip-yap, blah-blah, may go to farmers market in your area tomorrow, i'll call you later tonight, jibber-jabber, i may go to my friends rum party, blah-blah.
  • 2.5 emg (after phone call is over): text message - you have a great day (or something like that, and i can't remember if there was a smiley face.)
    
  • me: thnx.
    
    • (turns out, i didn't go to my friend's rum party. i cranked on a bunch of other cubeopolis and home stuff and yhd2011. i completely did a CYCCL (clean your closet, change your life) moment on my room and on about 3/4 of my kitchen. i took a power nap. i caught up on my dvr shows. i did some writing, reading, and 'rithmetic (bill paying).)
      
    • (and when it was 11:30 pm, i remembered - oops, forgot to call 2.5 emg. i'll call him in the morning at about 9AM, because any earlier is - EARLY for many)
      
• sunday morning
  
  • me (up by 4 AM): tip-tap, click-clack, writing blog posts, commenting on websites, exercise, checking the time, home stuff, cubeopolis stuff, more exercise.
  • me (at 9 AM): looking for my phone. gotta text that i'll be heading to farmers market. i hear it chirp. it's my phone. found it!
    
  • 2.5 emg text message (at 9:00 AM!): Thanks for keeping your word and calling back. One thing I value is honesty! Your loss!
  • me (at 9:01 AM): i did a quick double-take at the irony, chuckled, and proceeded to email my girlfriend, harold's girl, at 9:13 AM. and then i realized - 2.5 emg still had a keymaster of which i was not aware.
    

as i told a few girlfriends ...

"well, at least he didn't capitalize ALL THE WORDS. he seemed normal on the phone and on email. he is right - i didn't call back last night. i guess i should include on my okcupid profile that i can be forgetful and flighty?"

(btw, 2.5 emg dude ... you scare me - which means you probably scare others. i'm not easy to scare. not in the YIKES, run for your way ... in the ewwww way.)
