Credit where credit is due

Also, I feel I should give my friend Em credit for her many contributions to my blog. Except I don't remember how to do that. So, credit to Em! And someday I'll re-figure out how to link to people's blogs, and all will be happiness and roses.

Trying to fix my word cloud

Hey there, gentle readers. It's been years since I posted. I have no apologies. Shit has happened. Let's move on.

I'm posting mainly because someone has alerted me to the existence of a site called Wordle, where you input a bunch of text or a URL, and it generates a word cloud.

I inputted this website, and the largest words (after my name) were "HOMELESS" and "BOOZE".

Obviously it's pulling from the most recent post, over a year ago, but still. I have better things to say for myself, and better things to show for my existence, than homelessness and beer. As such, I feel it necessary to write about literate things so that the word cloud my life creates is filled with lofty concepts like Purpose, Determination, Inspiration and possibly even a little je ne sais quoi (no, I can't spell that, and I can't google it neither).

Also, because dating shenanigans continue, let's note the following:

There is a new dating site called "How About We." The premise is that, rather than giving a laundry list of your perfect mate's characteristics, you give a date idea you'd like to try, and go from there. You know, like, "How about we... go to the museum," or "How about we... drive to the lake and skip stones." The site launched in New York a while ago, and just recently expanded to Houston. I signed up.

There are currently six available dudes in the greater Houston area, which to my surprise goes as far as Austin, which is over two hours away. Only one of the six guys is in Houston proper. Here is his date proposal, verbatim thanks to the wonders of cut&paste:

"How about we... Between the ages of 20 and 35, tall, thin, very attractive, classy, fun, outgoing, sensual, intelligence, wit, humor, open, honest, real,"

It is no wonder to me that I am still single.
