Oh, get your mind out of the gutter. I don’t mean *that* kind of body shots. (The very thought of tequila is oddly appealing and retch-inspiring simultaneously.) I’m talking about photos. Not even nekkie ones, just ones that show my entire (clothed) body all at once.

I added this shot to […]

Oh, the things you find by reading science blogs. God, I love sci/medblogs.
From Amy in the comments at Orac’s place:
I think, to be successful in Internet dating, you need to use a site like Matchmaker.com, where there’s a good filtering engine, and also put stuff in your profile that filters out, in this girl’s […]

First, a little profile business. I recently added this to my “about my match” section:
PS: You don’t send winks. If you’re interested, you take the time to write telling me why.
Happily, the deluge of guys who wink but aren’t confident enough to write a damned email has subsided.
Not-so-happily, this means I get emails from […]

This freakin’ cracks me up:

This? Not so much. It’s not because of the text. Honestly, I think I might have found it wryly amusing to wear while I was pregnant…IF IT WEREN’T SO GRAMMATICALLY WRONG.

“Whose my daddy?” Whose? UGH. C’mon people. If you’re going to sell something via […]

I’m still giggling at this post over at Partners in Parenting. That’s likely, because I can completely imagine saying exactly the same thing.
Let’s teach the kid empathy, shall we?

Shouldn’t someone inform Jim thatblack just isn’t his color?
I just received (and deleted, heh) an email from Sojourners, urging me to sign up for their Politics and Spirituality conference — with this image attached.
You see, if I go to Pasadena in September, I’m cool like Jim Wallis, Anne Lammot, and whoever that other […]

This one’s from Larc:

How Geeky Are You?
“Geekiness in Love” could have been higher, if I’d been willing to select “consider a good IM conversation a first date.” While a good IM conversation is […]

Go Fug Yourself is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I mean, c’mon…I’m not a fashionista (although I tried really hard in high school, as some highly-embarassing 1980s-era photos will attest), but some of GFY’s photos show people who beg to be mocked. I’m not above a little mockery. So sue me.

Seen on the “who’s viewed me recently” page:
I am a small town boy, who loves his momma.
Alrighty, then.
Yes, yes, I KNOW this can be a good thing. I want a guy to love his mother. But for the first sentence of a match.com profile?

Eh, more likely just an excuse to procrastinate for five minutes…
I’m starting to think I should offer profile consulting to people on match.com (men and women alike — but definitely men, since I’ve read hundreds of men’s profiles over the years). What would one charge for that, anyway?

God bless Statcounter.
Or was that, “ignorance is bliss?”

Every once in a while, Statcounter’s an entertaining pasttime. Let’s see…what have people been googling (or blog-searching) to land here?

I remembered that I haven’t visited chemistry.com for a bit (match’s attempt at something like eHarmony — they gave me a “free” lifetime membership), so I popped on to see who they’re suggesting I might like. Here’s the first entry:

A friend who knows me IRL blogged a happy birthday post for me, along with some (yikes!) photos of what I looked like at 18.
If only I hadn’t been trying so hard, I could have been really cute. In these three photos combined, I have on more makeup than I’d wear in a […]

From Hugo, the Quote Meme: Here’s a blogging meme for you: What quotation, from any source other than Shakespeare or the Bible, most resonates with you today? What quotation most resonated with you in your teenage years?
I’m not sure about my early teenage years, but I had this on my wall throughout […]
