Striving For Mediocrity

Ramblings of a thirtysomething sometimes bitter single girl living in Southern California with her gay cat and crazy neighbors. Doing her damnedest to find one good man that won't drive her completely nuts.

More fun with personal ads.

Man, trying to figure out how to get my crap over here from diaryland is a motherfucker. Any ex-diarylanders living here who can offer up assistance on how the hell to do this will get all my love and affection, because I don't know what the sweet fuck I'm doing.

Thanks.




Thank you, Jenna for this wonderful piece of internet gold. Holy crap, was I laughing my ass off at work today looking at that site.




So, my wacky Diaryland High (goooooooo Bloggers!) dream was entertaining to everyone involved, I see. It was really funny, because so much of how I perceive the peoples' personalities in my mind was how they were in my dream. I mean, I already knew what everyone looked like, so that wasn't much work, but Clarity was an artist, Jeremy was a bitchy queen (shutup, you know you are, <3), Judd was a jock, Jenna was the girl with the crush, Loopy was the brainy girl, Warcrygirl was the outspoken smartass (SO shocking), and RDC... well, she really didn't do anything til she jumped up and socked Judd and then they were making out, so I didn't really get to see any of her personality.

Except the ASS-KICKING-MAN-PUNCHING side. Awesome.

Judd better watch out, is all I can say.

That is not my first diarist dream. Though, it may be the first one that's not dirty. I have had dirty dreams about five different diarists (I am such a whore). The funny thing is, one of them I've never even seen or talked to, and another one I had only been reading about a week.




I have a personal ad on yahoo personals, and this gem of a man sent me a wink. Just look at his profile:

Hi:I aint,all what I thought,I was.but that's ok.I good w/being "rick".I dont sweat the petty s_it.It's all mostly petty ,u know.Life's too short.Im a down,cool,open to anything fun,kinda guy.Im not independently wealthy.Dont ever need to be.I have a lot to share w/someone."regardless".It would be nice however,being $ rich?I could go there just fine, and be myself......heavy on "comfortable".That might get old,ya think?............Naaawwwww!..never.If you wanna have some fun?I'm alway's good to laugh at.........errr....good for a laugh,or two.:) U don't have to be a rich,super-model.Please be,optimistic,reasonably,physically fit,not too overweight.Positive,and humorous attitude, are a must.Gimmie a shout if u like.U won't be dissapointed..........shocked,and appauled,possibly.Insulted maby.Not dissapointed.No way!..............C-ya!


That's exactly how it is on his profile. And I don't understand why he would try to contact me if he likes his chicks "physically fit and not too overweight." There a bunch of pictures on my profile that show just what I look like.

JESUS, do I hate being single sometimes.




Oh! And don't forget to go vote for me in warcrygirl's keychain contest.

Is asking people to vote for me tacky? Because I would *never* dream of doing something that might be in poor taste.

I was going to transfer my last note from your notepage..but you can just go there and read it, I imagine:). At any rate, it was just saying how your dream made me laugh:). I can't believe you left Diaryland for Blogspot:(. Come back!! I feel like I'm on a sinking ship and I'm singing "white Flag" by DIDO. At any rate, looks like we're competing for the current keychain and I'm losing miserably. LOL. damnit! Why do we have to have the same taste?!. Take care!

i used to have a different diary name and when i changed it i had to move all of my entries over. your choices are: 1. instead of immediately redirecting everyone to your diary, put a link to blogspot and use diaryland as archives. 2. if you want to completely close down the diaryland and have only the blogspot with your past entries in chronological order, then you need to copypaste them into blogspot and you'd probably have to delete everything you've already written in blogspot and add it again at the end to keep it in the correct order. i cant think of any shortcuts.

From the looks of it, he must be some kind of punctuation savant.

It's the BEST ever. I think he's a fan of dramatic pauses. I bet he's a VERY engaging public speaker. ;)

You should totally respond to that personals dude with some thing like, "Hi: I like my men to be able to form complete sentences without sounding like total asstards."

Also, I'm a bit hurt that you didn't discover the Tom site a few weeks ago when I linked it, but whatEVER -- hehe!

Jenna, that site is so awesome. It's almost better than porn. ALMOST.

Pete, he's some kind of something. I am only sad I didn't copy his picture and post it along with it, because it just screamed "Deliverance."

I attract ALL the hot men.

Meany, d'oh! That link must have missed me. Oh - your cd's going out today. Weee!

I wish I could tell you there was an easier way to do it other than copying and pasting...there just isn't. I also copied my comments into my d-x entry page from dland because I liked them and didn't want to lose them (go to any entry before july 2005 to see what I mean)

If blogger has a forum where you can ask questions go and see if you have to take everything previously posted off while you do the transfer or if it will put everything in order by date.

Andrew sucks. I'd love to send him a bill for the 4 days I spent redesigning my d-x page and moving all the shit over. Good luck.

I refuse to consider any internet romeos who can't spell or punctuate correctly. I used to be a copy editor at a newspaper. Why would I have sex with a person who can't wield his comma correctly?

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation?
My website has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd certainly appreciate
it.
