Can you really fall in love online?

Do you think you can fall in love online? I do although it hasn’t happened to me yet. I happen to know at least one person who’s very happily married to a woman he met and fell in love with online. I’ve tried my best to find romance online but with less than stellar results.

I’m not complaining, though. I’ve had a lot of fun and met some fascinating and wonderful men online.

Please tell me tomorrow

You won’t believe this but I started this post weeks ago. And guess what? I put off writing it. Hmm. Why is it that someone who loves to mark completed tasks off a list or plow through a month’s worth of housecleaning in one morning cannot write a simple blog about procrastination without procrastinating like hell? I’ll tell you tomorrow.

Update 7/19/08 I thought I was done with this throwaway post, until not once but twice, Martin asked me about it. It’s tomorrow, he said, So when are you going to finish it? he asked me, or words to that effect.

How can I tell if he likes me?

The signs indicating whether a guy likes you depend on how old you are. If you’re under 10, he likes you if he pretends he doesn’t. No, wait, that also applies to some egotists of any age. Avoid them.

The bottom line is that usually, unless you’re still in grade school, you can tell whether a guy likes you if you’re honest with yourself. He pays you compliments or keeps calling you or emailing or texting you. In short, he follows up with you. He pursues you. Sometimes he’ll give you a hint by saying something like I really like you.

I’m here for the vacations

I think people need to sign a legally binding document committing them to return the winning ticket if they decide to continue working after they hit the lottery jackpot. What a crock. Why waste your money on lottery tickets if you love your job so much?

It’s not that I hate my job. I’ve just got better things to do. The only reason I keep going back to work every day is that I’ve gotten used to the luxury of a roof over my head and food in my belly. Kinda hard to feed my habit without a paycheck.

Making the switch from plastic bags

Over the weekend I bought a canvas bag at the local food co-op. It’s for grocery-shopping so I can stop carrying home those awful plastic bags. I bought it on impulse when I noticed it was only $.99. I recycle grocery bags but still knew it was irresponsible of me to use them at all. If I’m buying only a couple of items, I refuse a bag altogether but they seem to accumulate rather quickly, regardless.
