My brother once described OKCupid as “a lot of meat that I can’t have” because he never got any replies. He’s still single.

Omg, men are treating those dating sites like a supermarket! "Hmm, I think I'll pick up one blonde to ravage for desert… Oh. Oh she snapped at me. This item is rotten. Where is the sleazy isle? I can't read the packaging. Does this say 'treat with respect'? That can't be right. I don't want this product then." So embarrassing for them.

You, darling anon, are a  beautiful, perfect, fresh brioche.

I've been dating again lately. I met a nice guy last month, but he didn't want to see me again after the second date. That was sad...

Last night I went on a first date with a guy in Dekalb. Quite a guy. He's handsome, tall, academic, but I thought very negative, didn't like baseball, and very strange. At first I thought I had a catch, but by the end of the date I was a bit put off.

Look at this. What is going on here?

Do guys even know how to answer the questions on this site?

Wow I had a bombshell on my date last night.

The attorney mentioned that he didn't want kids, so I pressed him for more information, and got that he doesn't want kids ever, and would like to have a vasectomy someday. I also got the impression that he doesn't like dogs either! Wow. I'm glad that was discovered early, on the third date. It's too bad, I may want kids in a few years, and he seems like a really good guy. I thought it might work out. Oh well, on to the next guy.

A lot of things have happened lately.

I went to San Francisco with Aunt Debbie. She was really weird, but not a bad travel companion. San Francisco was beautiful and I wish I could go back.

I had my first appointment with CMS at the state office. I have to go in starting Monday to take tests and apply for jobs. I hope I get something quickly.

I have my 3rd date with the attorney tonight in town. I'm excited. We are meeting at a bar/restaurant, but we have moved up to a dinner date. I feel like I could really like him, but I don't know him that well yet.

Things have been slow since I came back from Chicago. Just hanging out and seeing my friends. I'm going to San Francisco with Aunt Debbie on Saturday.

I went on my second date with my cute attorney last week. Hopefully we can hang out before I leave. He seems really nice and he wants to move to Oregon someday. The idea of moving there with someone instead of by myself is really appealing. After reading Sarah's blog about moving to Chicago on her own I realized how lonely and difficult it would be to move to an unfamiliar city with no friends, even in the U.S. Sure, I've done it before, and I could do it again if I had to, but moving to Japan came with the expectation that it would be difficult. Even so, it was ridiculously easy to find and make new friends there because all the English speakers tend to stick together.

Mom is on vacation this week and the first two days we worked hard to get the new cabinets built for the garage. Yesterday we had a more relaxing day at home. Today she took my car and went out with her friends and went shopping all day. I waited for her for a few hours, but then gave up and did my own thing (watched Doctor Who). I wish she had told me she wasn't coming back for 6 hours.

I hung out with Kourtney a lot this weekend. We have been drinking and watching Japanese dramas. We should probably find a new hobby.

My goal for September is to find a job (a good paying one that is only M-F), and possibly from there get a new car and move out of my parent's house.

September will be a month of change I hope!!

Character: Maureen Johnson Appears in: Rent Commonly Interpreted as: Bisexual

Maureen has always been attracted to men and women. She was in a relationship with a man named Mark (played by out bisexual actor Anthony Rapp) but she broke up with him prior to the beginning of the movie.

Throughout most of the movie Maureen is in a relationship with a woman named Joanne. The two have a rocky relationship because Maureen is incapable of being faithful. Maureen and Joanna almost get married, but it is called off when Maureen flirts with the bartender.

Her friends sometimes treat her flirty and flighty nature as a joke. A few jokes are thrown Mark’s way about the fact that his girlfriend left him for a woman. But in the end, Maureen’s relationship with Joanna is treated with equal weight as any of the other relationships in the movie.

Thanks joannaagain for this suggestion.

Homosexuality is unnatural! It says so in this book where snakes talk, people come back from the dead, a guy walks on water, and a virgin has a baby.

I am not Mike Brown. I am white. I am middle class. I am female. I am small. I am not considered a threat. When police see me they see someone who looks like them. They see their mothers, their daughters, their sisters, themselves. I am not at risk of being shot by police for existing while black. I am not at risk of being shot while unarmed. I am not at risk of being shot while armed with nothing more than a BB gun. I am not at risk of being shot for reaching for my wallet. I am privileged. But I am outraged. And if you aren’t outraged, then you aren’t paying attention. This is America in 2014. This is our reality. It’s so easy to get jaded and to ignore these atrocities, to act like this doesn’t affect us. It’s so easy to get apathetic. In the past it was the youth who protested. Where is the rage of the youth? Where is our rage? Like I said, I am not Mike Brown. But I am outraged.

This week I'm visiting Ashley in Chicago. We went downtown yesterday and walked around a lot, did some shopping, and tried to see a concert in Millennium Park, but it was too crowded. Today she has to work, so I'm going to do some more shopping in the suburbs and maybe see a park. It looks like rain, so hopefully I don't get soaked.

My car made some weird noises on the way to Chicago. I think the undercarriage of the muffler or something is dragging, so every time I hit a bump or hit the brakes and the front dips, it drags and makes a sound like metal on concrete. Maybe it's not a big deal, but going 70 down the highway when your car is making weird noises is not fun.

Today I took my car to the shop to get it tuned up, and everything checked out!

Then, I had a date with a new guy. He was really funny and nice and I think I'll see him again.

The current guy is ok, kind of boring. He's shy and quiet like me, so I feel like I have to be the interesting one in the conversation. I can be fun and interesting, but my conversation partner has to give me some energy to work with.
