names.

it's probably no surprise that i have rejoined the match community. sure, this relationship began a few years ago in an effort to make some new friends. maybe score a free dinner or three. it has had it's ups (not really) and it's downs (understatement of the century)... a lot. and here we are.

i'm at the point where i'm wondering if people purposely set their children up to be alone for the rest of their lives. just imagine, you're in the hospital room, your newborn baby is being placed in your arms, you can see great things ahead... and you think "norbert."

are you drunk? no really, just a little? i just got a very cute email from someone that looks reasonably attractive. he says he's single because he has high standards and would rather sleep alone than settle for mediocrity. ok, fair enough. words, words, words... etc etc... and the email is signed "norbert". newsflash norbie, you're not single because you're picky. you're single because of that god awful name.

delete.

you have a choice with first names... so why would you ever choose something like norbert? i understand that last names are different. there's really nothing you can do if you last name is, say, dickstein. yeah you heard me. dickstein. i went out with him a few times this past summer. sorry, dude. no girl anywhere wants to be mrs. dickstein ever. sheesh. might as well be mrs. twatman.

may i suggest a life changing solution? drop the dick.

twatman. ha.
