Weekend Thoughts on eHarmony

First, a pop quiz...
What's worse than going to the grocery store while hungry?
Going to Sam's while hungry. You end up with some random stuff. Like bacon wrapped filet things that don't come out of the package looking anything like what's on the front of the package. Or off the George Foreman Grill. Such is life.

But I digress...This weekend was a free communication weekend for eHarmony.
I thought I was taking a little tour, but I quickly realized I was filling out the whole profile and was not in fact ever going to get these 25 minutes of my life back. So I thought I'd go with it for the weekend while it's free. Because I'm not signing up for it again. I'd like to pay off debt, not incur more.

I am still very wishy-washy on the whole internet dating thing. I tried a couple of different sites when I first moved out here, eHarmony included, and nothing really worked out. I still don't think I like eHarmony, though. "eHarmony matches you based on compatibility in the most important areas of life - like values, character, intellect, sense of humor, and 25 other dimensions."

I'm just not sure if I'd agree with their ways of matching things up. See, some of my good good friends are no surprise to anyone. People know we'd be friends. But some of my friends are nothing like me and I cherish that part of it. We see things differently, and that makes me a better person. I guess I just don't like the idea of ruling someone out simply because they don't fit a certain set of criteria.

But, one of the guys wants to communicate with me. I still haven't decided if I want to communicate with him or not. I don't have to decide tonight. And I did start the year off agreeing to say yes to more things. I don't know...

Things that make my world go round:
- the kids today that weren't being spoiled little jerks (and it's not a lot)
- milk and cookies
- the Sword and the Stone and a project to keep me from pity-partying it
- knowing that I'm only teaching for 1/2 day tomorrow
