True Love: Option #817

"She's got a great personality though."

Online dating match service sites. Hmm. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, I swear just for curiosity's sake. So, I checked one of them out [the names have been changed to protect the innocent]. It only took me about forever to answer all of the questions they posed. So, okay, click: "find match." Well, out of 8 million people registered, only five of them were compatible with me apparently. However, to meet them, it's only a mere $59/month for the service. Oh well, Katie-the-insurance-adjuster-and-supposed-love-of-my-life, I guess we weren't meant to be.

And that, friends, is another lesson from Professor Beedow. Scams. Life is a series of scams. Do not fall victim as I did ... ahem, I mean, as I went undercover this afternoon to study and find an answer for you ... to the online dating match service sites. Dr Love, no, my readers and I will not participate in your farcical, obnoxious, scamming, expensive, mindless, impersonal, electronic, over-the-counter, fill-in-the-bubble, true-or-false, what's-wrong-with-me love fest of internet insanity. Have a good one, folks. Now, go out, get yourself a chocolate milkshake and fall in love, but don't tell me about it. Unless she's got a single sister and you pick the one who looks like cutie pie here. [And, if she's number 817, can you imagine what number 1,817 is like? Wow. Now she'd be a beaut.]

Mostly wanted to congratulate you on your 8000+ word showing during NaNoWriMo. I was curious how your effort was gonna turn out considering you had zero (in terms of ideas) going in. So, more than 10% of the goal is pretty good, I think!
Congratulations, again.

Meanwhile, besides my attempts at creating a comic book (writing and drawing), I'm also sporadically attending Dr. Spouse's writer's club at school, attempting to do a little writing, a substitute for NaNoWriMo. No novel... more like short stories for now. Although, currently, I'm more like idling at the writing exercise stage.
Interesting. Interesting collection of D & D nerds, too.

Finally, hope you had a good Thanksgiving a couple weeks back. Sorry we never got to see each other. The world sucks. All I do is miss plays and people who are in town. I suck.
Oh, well. What else is new.
Later!
