| ++No late fees? |

Riiiight. I knew of Blockbuster not charging late fees, but I wasn't sure what their practices were since I don't rent from there, but I saw a commercial today. Their late fees are now called "restocking fees." How lame is that. If you don't return your rental within 7 days after the due date, they charge your credit card for the price of the movie. But if you return it within 30 days after that, they will charge you only $1.75. So...they still have late fees, but you get a bit more time to return your movie. Okay, so I went on a date this morning. At least I thought it was supposed to be a date. Maybe it wasn't. Anyway, this date came about this way. I was going to meet up with TheMolester at some point so he could teach me how to cook meat. He was going to do it at my place, and I wasn't comfortable with that, nor was I going to be comfortable being at his place. So the plan was to meet up this weekend to ensure we're both not freaks. The only day good for the both of us was today, which is Sunday. Since I was only available in the morning, he chose to meet up with me at 8:30 am. I woke up even earlier than I would for work :shock: I was supposed to call him at 8:15 so he'd tell me what he was wearing. I ended up calling him at 8:30, and he didn't pick up, so I left a message. He didn't call me back, but he showed up several minutes late. For a moment, I thought he wasn't going to show up. He looked really tired...turns out he went to bed at 4:30...ah well. We ate our breakfast and the conversation was okay. He was not as tall as I thought he was going to be, and although I like my men meaty...he was a little more meaty than my prefernce. Was it a beer belly? Or just a plain big belly? I should just trust my gut more. I didn't feel any chemistry before our date, and the date didn't increase the chemistry. And would I sound too superficial to say it bothered me that he didn't pay for our date and that he doesn't have a car? I had to drive to his neighbourhood to have breakfast with him, which he was late for. I'm seriously tired of dating guys where I have to drive to them all the time or I have to drive the both of us everywhere. The thing with people living in Vancouver is that a lot don't feel the need to have a car because everything they need is easily accessible. But on the other hand, there is A LOT outside of Vancouver. And I guess where TheMolester lost points was where he made some comment about how I talk, which I felt really embarrassed about. I didn't say anything about his underbite, though. He was like, "did you get some dental work done? You don't really move your mouth when you talk." FFS, he kept asking me questions while I was eating. After the bill was settled, he walked me back to my car, and that was that. |
