Marta

This is how you take MARTA to work when there's no station near your office:





I took these pictures on my way to work today.

Saturday - go to Scott's independence party.
Sunday - go to Leandro's BBQ and pool.

wow. I don't think I'll be able to eat any more burgers after this weekend.

Jdate

well, I am considering getting on Jdate. I have been kind of stuck in a rut here, and although I could blame it on all sorts of things, I am just going to say I haven't met the right person here, and it's because I haven't met enough people.

Now, I am sure some of you are reading this and saying WHAT?? but you know like...everyone in the world!! :-)

Luckily, that's not actually true. That means there are other people in the world that I haven't met that may be the person that is perfect for me. What does perfect mean? well, I am not sure. And I guess that could probably be part of my problem. A couple years ago, I wrote a blog post about what I was looking for. I just re-read the list, and my taste really hasn't changed much. I think that a few of those things are learned, and not necessary, but a few are still very important.

I've heard some great success stories about Jdate, but many more failure stories of bad dates. That you spend a lot of time dating people just not right for you, or downright creepy/crazy. Also that some guys are just on there to get with a girl for one night and that's their goal. ::sigh::
I am trying not to talk myself out of it before trying it, but it's hard.
