So I had another first date last night, this one with “the anarchist”- profile displayed below. The dinner was nice, conversation easy which are good things. There were a few things that were a little “strange” and I’m not quite sure what to make of them. For one, he made it clear that we needed to split the check which is totally fine by me, I never assume anything. But then he spent the next five minutes doing the math in his head to figure out exactly how much he owed down to the dollar, which was wrong anyway but I wasn’t about to point that out even though I ended up paying more than I should have.

I don’t think the jury’s out on this one. He seems sweet and nice, still a little young. Perhaps I’m waiting for the monster to come out of the closet. Not sure if there is any spark on my end, the ever elusive spark. I don’t know if that’s even possible on first meetings anyway.

So after the date, I went to the roommate’s bar to get liquored up and “process”. There always needs to be some sort of post date recoop. A random guy there gave me the old “propositiondisclaimer” which I found amusing. “So you want to come home with me? Just kidding, I have a girlfriend, I don’t do that.” or “I could just call my girlfriend and tell her it’s over right now….” Except he asked in various ways several different times. What is it about me that makes guys want to just throw caution to the wind and take me home? It’s a tough burden to bear but someone’s got to do it.

Trying something new

I have just graduated from Penn State with a degree in Music Recording and Production. After graduating, my best friend and I went on a road trip from NYC to San Fran and everywhere in between (you can see a few of those pics in my photos) Right now, I know what I want to do in life and am working hard to get where I want to be.
Music is my passion, I play guitar (and really well I might add) along with a variety of other instruments, and I love going to concerts. I also enjoy all aspects of the arts including theater, film, and literature and am looking for someone who enjoys these things as well.
I would like to meet someone who is intelligent who can carry on an intellectual conversation but also knows how to let her hair down and have fun. I, like most people I’m sure, love to laugh (especially at myself), love to make people laugh, and love people who can make me laugh!
I’ve got a decent sense of style; I know how to communicate who I am in how I dress, whether it’s casual or formal. I took Ballroom Dance classes, so don’t worry, you won’t have to try too hard to get me on the dance floor and I will look good up there.
Finally, I have a great relationship with my mother, so you can rest assured I’m someone you can “take home to mom!” The question is, can you promise the same?

So this P.M.P. has been calling me. About him. Pros: He is surprisingly easy to talk to on the phone. The first time was a little awkward, but otherwise has been smooth and the time passes without realizing how long we have been talking. On the con side of the list, he’s fresh out of college, 23 years old. Hmmmm. Listed agnostic under religious beliefs. Oh and he doesn’t agree with me that ninjas are better than pirates because of their versatility, also on the con side for SHIZZLE.

Funny story he told me. He’s a guitarist so I asked how he got into that. He told me that when he was around 13 he was in the attic reading his dad’s playboy magazines and his mom came home. She hollared up the stairs, asking what he was doing and he had to think up a reason fast because obviously he couldn’t use the real reason and the only one he could think of was that he was looking for an old guitar of his dad’s. Thus playboy was the catalyst of his musical career.

He has requested an evening with the Queen (does that sound sketchy?) which should go down (sketchy again! didn’t mean it like that I SWEAR! none of that will be HAPPENING!) sometime in two weeks. I’m not sure I’m ready to meet him and perhaps may prolong it until I can talk to him about more important things than say ninjas.

So I haven’t been here as much the last two weeks. As you may have guessed from the title, there was some drama. Boy drama. The drama of the worst kind. Apparently a particular gentlemen who will remain nameless (but you all know who he is anyway) was sucked in by my incredible hottness and drawn off the path. If I had been made aware of his particular situation (ie. Hi, Queen I have a girlfriend so while I may act like you are the dizz to my fo-shiz, I can’t go there.), there would have been no such drama.

But no. I was not made aware. Actually one could say that I was lied to about this particular fact because when you take one girl out you should probably tell her that you have a girlfriend, especially when she asks you directly, (the reasons that one might come up with about WHY he might be less than honest on this issue will be left for another rant) and was left only with the overwhelming evidence to the contrary thus making what I thought were some safe assumptions.

Grr. No matter that my little heart was let down. No matter that I was made to look like a fool. But then the offending PMP decided to BLAME ME for what came of the evening. I mean, we all know about the power of my “incredible hottness” but seriously? Can I be blamed for that? Can I be blamed that you were less than honest and apparently have no willpower?

No I think not.

But moving on. The Queen is tired. Tired of the drama and going out on these dates with boring boring people. I think that I am taking a break from the O.D. circuit. Maybe a week, maybe a month. I don’t know. There are a few gentlemen who have requested the presence of the Queen and I will blog about those. But otherwise….well we’ll see how it goes.

I would like to find someone to steal horses with.

So I felt like I should give the science geek a second chance, see if some of that personality I saw in his emails and profile comes out in person after more time. On paper, he seems fun and with a good sense of humour but somehow….that seems absent when he’s sitting in front of me. And even the second time around, he still seems a little self-consumed and unable to be himself. (Maybe because I’m so hott with two ‘t’s that I intimidate him, hehe.) Just uptight and quirky, like he hasn’t spent enough time with humans.

So I sent him an email saying we just be friends and wrapped it around some encouraging words, let him down gently. He didn’t freak out or call me names so it must have been ok.

So I’ve been told that the fans would prefer to hear more personal elements and less profiles. The majority of the day to day details of O.D. is kind of depressing and perhaps a little boring but whatever, the fans have spoken.

So update. I had a date this weekend with a gentleman we will call Ned Flanders. Not that he acts like Ned Flanders but because he lives in a town of similar name and well…it seems to fit. He could look like Ned Flanders with a little imagination. The date was…fine. He’s in manufactoring and Mr Tango pegged him well as boooooring. He shouldn’t be. He races autocross and well…i don’t know much else. It wasn’t terribly horrible but it was far from exciting either. I can’t tell if I’m getting used to the whole process of meeting people cold turkey or I just lost the energy to get nervous. It’s still incredibly draining. I did tell him that he could call me but I’m not sure if I’ll answer.

And we’re going out on a second date with the science geek. Figured I would give him a second chance to see if any personality came out. It can’t really go past a second date because I only have two dresses. Could this be self-defeating?
