"Man chowder" was the funniest thing I heard yesterday, so I used it for my MSN name. I had a couple of people ask me what it was, including UnPorsche Guy. *makes shifty eyes*

My workouts and running have totally sucked this week, especially the running. I don't understand the shin splints that are going on. Is it my shoes? Not warming up enough? Ugh!

Recently, I had to let a couple of guys know that I wasn't interested in pursuing anything with them. I would have rather told them the real truth, but instead, I told them the secondary truth.

I told Security Guy that I started seeing someone. He said he wished I had told him sooner. I told him as soon as I could. And I had also told him specifically, "I can't see you now;" I can't help that he took it literally..."Of course not. I'm going to work now!" But I don't have a status on UnPorsche Guy. Even if I wasn't interested in UnPorsche Guy, I wouldn't want to date Security Guy. I can't help that I need some sort of physical attraction. He looks like a wimpy teenager! I don't go for skinny! And I don't go for little boys!

And then I told... he doesn't even have a nickname. I'll just call him M. We'd been messaging off a system, and he'd been trying to ask me out and get my number, but I always declined. Only after a month or so did we start using MSN. With the system we met on...you can send "smiles" for free. He should have sent me one of those before sending me a message because I absolutely would not have "smiled" back. I didn't find him physically attractive either...short, skinny, Asian.

So he asked me if I was ever going to give him my number, and I said no. When he asked me why, I told him I was interested in someone (To that, he said, "fair enough." Man, I wanted to smack him). Even though he tried to hide it, I could tell he was mad and bitter. He went into the whole thing about how he needs to be a jerk. I think he just needs to get a life. And then he suggested I remove my profile. I tried to make myself sound more pathetic to make him feel better, so I told him I didn't know about this guy that was interested in me, and he started giving me more advice even though he said, "I can't believe I am helping that dude."

And this guy told me he had class...PUHLEEZE. I said I'd be glad to offer him women advice, but he said he already had wingchicks. I can see they're really helping him out. Anyway, what a loser. What made him think I would have been interested in him anyway? I turned him down for a date, and I wouldn't give him my phone number, and I never suggested getting together or even talking on the phone!

I am not that picky about looks, but my preference is still beefy, white men.
