holy LAME batman!
what's with all the batman references?!
.... i don't actually know.
ANYWAY!
at work right now, we're between contracts. and while sitting around with absolutely nothing to do *sounds* sort of like a job come true..
its really not. it makes the days drag by. and out of boredom i just keep eating, and really?! its not working out all that well for me.
SO!! on a whim, and because i visited raceAthlete.com and they had an advert-banner at the bottom that my curiosity got a whiff of..
um. i sort of just posted my profile on fitnesssingles.com
(AND IF YOU TRY AND LOOK ME UP I WILL BEAT YOU. its bad enough im blogging about it!)
*ahem*
anyway.
so but yeah. i did.
i did it.
i enrolled in a "dating service".. but its for free and for fun and so it TOTALLY doesn't even count.
(not that there's at all anything wrong with online dating services. i just.. never though i'd ever be one to partake.
BUT!!! desperate times call for desperate measures.
as do omg why do i even have to BE here, if i'm just sitting around watching movies all day, bored at work times.
so.. whatayagonnado?!)
anyway, as with everything related to online relations, the first thing i was asked to do was!!?!
WRITE A PROFILE!!!
(actually thats not true. the *first* thing was answer questions about my height, weight, hair color and body type. god that was depressing. yuck.
good thing i know how to LIE!!!
tall blonde and beautiful. that describes me... right?!)
so but a profile. i loathe writing profiles. i mean what is it you're supposed to say?!
"why hello there, hopefully young attractive male species perusing my profile. how DO you DO!!?! my name is [fill in with some ridiculous 10 letter quip] and i am one HOT MAMA."
i mean please!!!
regardless, though.. what's done is done.
and although i'm sort of a little mortified, i'm also actually kind of intrigued. so stay tuned my good folks.. and wish me luck!
cuz i'm on a dry spell lately. and that's just no fun!

Good for you! That sounds like fun (the signing up part, not the boredom at work). Have fun with it and keep us posted!

I think I have a profile out there, too. The trick to writing a profile is to think of the stuff you want HIS profile to say (what you really want to know about, what combo of funny/serious you want, etc.) and then write yours accordingly.
Good luck! Lots of people have found love via on-line dating sites.

See this is what federal government workers get paid big bucks to do. Us local gov workers actually earn our salaries :p

Here's an idea, have the bloggy peeps collaborate on your profile. They already LURVE you and know how to sell it.

hi, i've actually done this-on that site. it wasn't so hot b/c (when i did it) the number of people using the site was low and there were very few (and all weird) people near me. i'm in boston and people from Texas would be like, HI! and i would be like, NO. i am optimistic for you though, so keep us posted! good luck!

I was actually on there for a few months (still am, but I let my paid subscription expire, so I can't contact anyone). In that time, I got in contact with one girl, and we wound up meeting at my first ever tri. Nothing came of it (no chemistry). I just did my first ever "speed dating" last night, and that was surprisingly a lot of fun. Anyway, off to look at your profile! ;-)

I was bored at work one day and was playing on an online thing...started chatting with a guy on the IM section and 3 1/2 months after we met in person for the first time we are still together. So you never know.

I met Hubby on match.com. So, it can work. Good luck - think of it like the shopping channel - there are sooo many options so, why settle?
