Exciting things to come!

I am leaving for Australia in 45 hours!

I still have a TON of things that I need to do before I live ... fun things like going to Target to buy face lotion and hair clips, figuring out which books I am going to bring with me, and packing (ugh I hate packing).

I've decided to travel as light as humanly possible ... so I am only going to bring my backpacking backpack with me ... hopefully I remember to bring enough underwear :)

Other exciting things ... I may actually have a couple of dates when I get back ... internet dating is going a whole heck of a lot better this time than last time around, and I am hopefully going to get coffee with a couple of the people I am talking with ... hopefully they are not completely insane :)

If you want a postcard ... send me an email/facebook message/post here to give me you addresses :)

Palm Readings and Soul Mates

I had my palm read last week by one of my students.  Nothing of consequnce really came up other than I have a pretty crappy love line and an pretty long life line (or maybe it was the other way around) ... and maybe I am going to have 3 children (well i better get started I guess).  On my non-dominant hand, I am missing one of the key lines (again, I can't remember if it was my love line or my life line), but the girl who did the palm reading told me that it didn't matter because it is the wrong hand.  

This palm reading experience reminded me of something I had forgotten...

In college I dated a boy who had a freckle on his hand in exactly the same spot that I do.  The girl told me that freckles don't mean anything when it comes to palm reading, but I remember thinking that that freckle mean that this boy and I were soul mates and we were destined to be together ... sometimes I still think that is still true, even though I haven't talked do this boy in a number of years...I miss those days 

Something about internet dating #2

Well internet dating this time around is turning out to be a bit more interesting ...

I still can't figure out what is with boys in Fort Collins ... they tend to be fairly passive and the dont "just go for it" ... but after sending a number of messages out, I have finally gotten some ok responses  back and I have even started up a dialogue with a couple of guys.  Maybe I am not the horrible ugly creepy person that I thought ...

Everything is good for now, and I have yet another internet activity to keep me distracted throughout the day.  I think that I get even more excited when I have a new "internet dating email" than I do when I get a new facebook post (who know something could be more exciting that facebook?).

The real question is ... at what point do I start becoming an internet dating slut?  How many guys am I allowed to talk to at once?  And how am I supposed to keep them all straight?

Also, do I ever actually have to meet these guys ... or does chatting online count as some sort of male contact/dating??

AHH soo many tough questions :)

Why I suck at internet dating #1

Internet dating is good for people who worry about what to say to people and how to say it.  

Internet dating is good for people who like to edit and then re-edit themselves.

Internet dating is for people who are willing to "market" themselves.

I am not good at any of these things, I like to say what is on my mind without giving it a second thought.  Although sometimes I do wish that I would just shut my mouth, I have never been good at editing myself.  And I have no idea how to "market" myself ... I tend to just go with the conversation.  But in "internet dating world" there is no freaking conversation, you are just putting info out there and hoping for the best.  

crazy? I say yes

I might start base jumping ... if only for the outfits

Ok, so no I will never base jump, but how freaking cool are those outfits???

changing

I seriously need to lose some weight this summer ... no joke

changing

I am going to try something new tomorrow.

I am going to try and be positive about what ever happens tomorrow, and take everything in stride.  Whatever happens happens, whatever I cannot accomplish, I will not worry!

The lunch line

This is the conversation I had while standing in line to get lunch today:

Crazy old lady: "I really like your hair, it looks really cute"

Me: "Thanks, I really like it too"

Crazy old lady: "I especially like how it goes up in the back"

Me: "Thanks!"

Crazy old lady: "you know, like a witch. I've never seen witch hair before"

Me: standing their with my mouth open not quite sure how to react...

Do I have witch hair?  What does this even mean?

Swine Flu ...

So just for the record, I dont think that I actually have swine flu, but I do have a horrible cough and I've had a headache for 5 days (ugh ugh)

So I spent the weekend "recovering" which pretty much consisted of spending Saturday watching a marathon of "The Real Housewives of New York" and spending today watching episodes of Felicity on surfthechannel.

For those of you out there who love Felicity ... DAMN that girl is annoying.  I love the show ... but if i were Ben I would have been really FREAKED out  by her.

Tomorrow starts another teaching day, and I am extremely TIRED.

pretty much awesome

I am currently sitting on the couch in my PJs, watching the Notebook (yes its horrible, but nothing else is on TV), eating popcorn and M&Ms and playing scrabble with Michelle on facebook ... does it really get any better than this?
