“When we first started dating, did you ever think we’d go on a romantic date to McDonalds?” Stick asked me. We were in line at the Kan Dan Qiao 24-hour McDonalds, getting milkshakes in what is likely to become a usual Saturday-morning activity for us. (I also got a Happy Meal so I could […]

On a completely unrelated note, I just found out there’s a World Of WarCraft dating site, where WoW gamers can, er, hook up. I’m not making this up, it’s called World Of DateCraft.
The site’s pretty new, with beta warning labels and tempting links without content (One of them is an intriguing murloc link! But […]

This is a sponsored post.
I just checked out the free dating site at DateHookup.com. I’ve talked before about internet dating (most recently about World Of DateCraft), so I was pretty interested in seeing what DateHookup had to offer.
DateHookup is a meeting and chatting site for singles, most notable because it’s actually free, not the unfortunately […]

Sorry I’ve been updating kind of sporadically recently. My free time has been sort of feast or famine these last few weeks. I had quite a bit of free time today, but it was while I was at the auto place waiting for them to really REALLY fix the car this time, which wasn’t really […]

I finally got onto a social networker before Kristin. I signed up with Spokeo, a new combination blog/RSS reader and profile network. Unlike MySpace, Spokeo seems to have users who are out of their teens. You don’t have to declare your dating status, list off your favorite movies or come up with a cutesy tagline […]
