I slept really well last night. I think it helps when I close my bathroom door. Anyway, I started using a humidifier in my bedroom. I haven't used electric heaters in a long time, and I'm finding my room to be rather dry.
I'm really hungry right now, but I still haven't eaten. Last night my dinner consisted of a package of peanut M&Ms, 2 cucumber sticks, 2 tomato wedges, 2.5 slices of cheese, 1 slice of apple, 1 canteloupe chunk, and 2 pieces of bread with bruschetta. There was a lot of onion in that bruschetta. I can still taste it today.
The sidewalks were so icey, and I hate hills. Kelly's car got stuck on a patch of ice when she was trying to leave her parking spot. It took about 15 minutes to get out. She called her friend Colin to help rescue us. The poor Civic in front of us (on the decline) got a few dings. I almost slid right past the car while walking towards it. Good thing for door handles.
I think one of the speakers in my car is going. It has that muffley sound, and I have to turn up the volume to hear. This morning there was some LInkin Park on the radio. I can't remember the name of the song, but it always makes me think of James. He used to say they sucked, but I'd make him sing that song.
Speed dating was mentally exhausting. Keeping the energy going for so many people is tiring. I spent 3 minutes with each person (24 times). Sometimes the time would go by really quickly, and other times...you just kind of wished they'd ring the bell. There was one programmer that my friends and I all agreed he had a horrible attitude. He was a general downer and I had nothing to say to him. He had horrible smoker's breath, too, and his gum chewing could not hide it. There were a couple of cuties...some were into yoga...some were into triathlons...some had weak handshakes...some had lisps...and some seemed to think my eyes fell down to my chest.
There was a guy I discounted because of his breath. I kind of regret it now. Then there's this other guy I wish I did discount because he's been going to doubleyourdating.com. We were in the same program at school, and we knew some of the same people. And *then* I remembered how much he stunk in class.
I'll find out if I made any matches in a day or two, but there wasn't anyone that made me go oooh.
Kelly and Kira thought the Asian guys were the most polite and nicest. I never really noticed, but I guess it wouldn't surprise me. :wink:

That's funny about the speed dating and the smells. You know, dogs just go up to each other and do the butt-sniff thing. Maybe we humans should just cut to the chase...you see a guy you may be interested in, you walk up to him, and you smell his breath. At least that way you get one of the important questions answered right away!

Maybe you're onto something new here...Have smell dating...Everyone is blindfolded but you sniff each other. If you like the smell, then you connect!!
