Be careful where you click

I have a REALLY bad habit of clicking on people's profiles on PoF while saying to myself "Hey... that person looks familiar". Most of the time I am wrong. But occasionally things like this happen:

hey you what r u doin on this site lol melissa

The profile I'd clicked on was one of my friends/drinking buddies. There is this GREAT stalker feature on PoF where you can see who has viewed you. I got SO busted.

And in OTHER humorous goings on... I sent my mother the link to my blog. She was one of the people who encouraged my writings when I was younger. It didn't occur to me that she would have time to look at the blog AFTER my last blog (I figured it would be before). This was her reaction:

i hope your address isn't available to any of these people. And, it's a good thing I live too far away to come over with a bar of soap!
Love, Mom

If I wanted a pussy, I'd go buy a cat!

There is a lot to be said about being mysterious when you first meet people. Laying to much out there can have the opposite effect that you could want. The same with imposing yourself on someone too much. I have gotten a lot of the "Where the fuck did you go" messages from people and in most cases it is because they have said something that makes me want to run screaming.

There is also levels of creep-a-tude. There is "Its nice that you like farm animals in that way, but I'm seriously not interested in Hoof & Mouth disease as an STD", "If this goes too far and then goes south am I going to have to go into witness protection?" (Sound familiar?!? Yeah, I totally should have listened to my intuition on the last one), "You sound WAY too good to be true, there must be bodies hidden in the barbaque pit in your backyard", "Does your girlfriend/wife realize you are trying to meet me to have sex in the backseat of my car" and then there is THIS:

Did you ditch me? (WTF!?! Do you have ANYTHING TO DO DURING THE DAY OTHER THAN TO BOTHER ME!?! Your first "did you ditch me", which the lack of capitalization is cringe-worthy, made me roll my eyes. But to change the subject line and make it accusatory?!? Yeah, homie don't play that!)

No. I left work late, my commute is over an hour each way, I got home and I needed to take care of my house therefore I wasn't online.

Fair enough. Well hopefully you're up for talking soon. (Really? You just felt the need to give me PERMISSION to act like a responsible adult?!? My MOTHER doesn't even have the invisi-balls to pull shit like that. You are so jacked up on steroids in your profile pictures that I'm 99.999% sure that the pretty miniature pink glitter Christmas balls I have on my Christmas tree at home are bigger than your set!)

Been busy at work. My life revolves around working and doing my job, not talking to people. (ok... anyone who knows me well knows I actually do BOTH!)

And this is my gift to you, dear readers... Needless to say this gentleman will be getting blocked and I will HAPPILY walk away from him, for no other reason than his true colors are showing and I've known him for less than 2 days.

Hell Hath no fury...

I wonder how often he edits his profile? lol.

Eject! Eject! Eject!

So close... and yet so far.

So what hold would u use to get me to tap (Oh god! Please let this NOT be a variation of "Hey baby! Wanna wrestle? I'll let you win." Seriously. That is the oldest wrestling pick up line and honestly? All it does is annoy me. But I'll give him a chance. Maybe it was a bit of fight humor from a guy who was to shy to say anything else.)

lol. Idk. I really wasn't into submissions when I wrestled. Was more of brute strength and using my height to my advantage.

Nice! know any martial arts? sound like you like impact (Thank GOD! He actually sounds NORMAL. And the grammar nazi is totally not having to come out. He is totally not cute, but you know? that's cool because I'd much rather have someone I get along with.)

I started training to do MMA but unfortunately the nerve damage I have from wrestling and the heart problems I have have sidelined training for a while. I want to get back into MMA, but I have to do it a little bit more slowly than I'd like.

How bout you? what forms of martial arts have you trained in?

Darth Vader?????) have amy (?!?) other pics? (there are 8 pictures on my profile! What?!? Do you think I am going to send you pictures of my tits?) care to chat?

are you dominant or submissive or both (FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! EJECT! EJECT! EJECT! *a large explosion is heard as the conversation rapidly self destructs*)

I have no words...

Ok, I lied... Yeah I do. This is a real honest to god message I got this morning:

how i would love to kiss your boots (Seriously? They are leather. Do you have ANY idea how much saddle soap it would take to recondition them after you slobbered all over them?!?) and worship at the feet of a true Goddess such as yourself (*rolls eyes* A true goddess? Yeah, that's cause you have never seen me PMS'ing and without coffee). You accomplished so much (*scratches head* Why? cause I managed to survive through a non fatal heart problem?) and to be a part of Your life in the most menial way (Congrats, you are now part of permanent internet history). to do things for you (thanks, I can do it myself), cater to you (Really... I am quite capable of doing shit myself. You are starting to look like a TOTAL pussy), make your life easier would be a real honor even if its not really much to others (Did you REALLY just insult me after kissing my ass?!?). You seem so perfect (*sigh* At this point I am ready to snarf my coffee). to know You (how hard is it to use proper capitalization?!?) would be a real honor (*flag on the play* Utter lack of punctuation!)

In WHAT world is sending messages like this ok?!?

I'm single yet again. I know I should be happy, but I'm not. The guy I was with was an incredibly sweet guy, but he also had issues. The biggest issue was TRUST. I trusted him, he didn't return the favor. Every time I turned around I was being bitched at for something that was on Facebook. And when I'd get upset, he'd swear he'd change. But hours later, it would happen again.

I forgot how much situations like that suck. He's upset, I'm upset, my friends are upset because I'm upset.

*sigh*

Oh... and the Biker Boy walked back into my my life.
