1. America's Next Top Model: Don't Hate Them 'Cause They're Beautiful
I was fully intending on doing what my Twin does with Project Runway, and recapping the season premiere of America's Next Top Model, but one of my online dating guys called about half an hour in, and I missed the other hour and a half. I'm sad, actually. Is is entirely bad that I wish I'd have called him back today rather than miss the show? I've already decided I have a total girl crush on one of the contestants, Elina. She won't win, but I love her. Next week, I'll start with recaps, if I remember.
One of the girls, Clark, I believe her name was, was a total bitch but so incredibly pretty. I want to hate her, but that's part of the reason pretty people have it so easy. You can't hate them, because they're pretty. You don't want to yell at them on the off chance that you'll ruin your chances of them ever making out with you.
2. DateGuy, DatIng, and Why I Need Therapy
So OnlineDateGuy called me and we talked for a while. Originally, he'd asked me to go out with him today (Friday. . .or, at least, Friday if I EVER finish this entry). I knew even while talking to him that it wouldn't work out to be anything earth-shattering, but I agreed to go out with him because I said to myself, "Self, you haven't even met this guy. You're not giving him a chance. You're taking your Way Too High Standards and applying them to someone you've never even seen in person." I mean, he sexual innuendoed me within 20 minutes of our first conversation. At least wait until you've met me, you know? And throughout the conversation, he did it quite a few times. There's a difference between flirting and sexual innuendoing. Flirting with people you don't know well is fun. You shouldn't sexual innuendo (you like how I've made that into a verb?) someone you don't know.
So the next day (Thursday) I'm contemplating this date, and the more I thought about it, the more I just didn't want to go. And THEN I found out that the next day (Friday, or today, in theory) was the big football game between the two public high schools in the county. I believe it's called something like County Clash and it's a big freaking deal. Like. . .everyone goes. And since I missed Border Bash due to CousinCasey's birthday soiree, I was NOT happy about the fact that I'd have to miss County Clash to go on a date with someone who. . .well. . .I'm Just Not That Into Him.
I broke the date.
You know, I have more, much more, to say, but I'm exhausted and I have to get up early.

The first time you mentioned, my exact thought was, "I love that she just made 'sexual innuendoed' a verb." And then you had to go and tell me I liked it.
Awesome.
Oh my god. We are twins.
1. I was thinking of recapping ANTM but knew I'd never watch it. I was a big fan of cycles 1-6, even so much that I (sadly) sent in an audition tape for cycle 7. (Which was pathetic and went nowhere, thank god.) I am very, very glad you're taking on this mission. All I know is that all the contestants have crazy names.
2. I also overthink and freak out about dates and have high standards. When in reality, I've had like, minimal "i'm a girlfriend" experience. We are the same, for reals.
3. BFF is playing in their hometown of Chapel Hill. But I doubt it could happen... I really love my job, but it's majorly demanding, and I'm already a part of the "inner circle". Also, I have zero vacation days and no money. Sigh. I'll be watching online. But how far away is CH from you?
You don't know me. But I know Karen. And so I clicked onto you a few weeks back. I encourage you to recap ANTM for completely selfish reasons: I cannot validate paying for cable. If you recapped for me, I would be able to keep up with popular culture in a much more enjoyable way than wasting the hours both before and after the show that I would inevitably get caught up in. (Confession: I really don't have cable because I would cease to be a productive member of society in any sense of the phrase.)
I also have dating anxiety. I'm meeting for someone for a drink Monday night. I feel less than blase about it.
Bleh.
Thanks for blogging. It (clearly) gives me something to find on a Saturday night.
