Sarcastic, neurotic writer/editor on the verge of becoming a crazy cat lady. Sometimes I share my feelings stream-of-consciousness and sometimes I present methodical analysis. I also like puns, because you can't spell "analysis" without "anal."

I should buy this t-shirt and wear it underneath my clothes on every date with guys I meet online. Just in case.

ReplyDeleteThanks, newyork! Yeah, so far this blog is one of the only productive things to come out of my online dating experience.
ReplyDeleteNeurotic, I saw that shirt on Zazzle, and I had to link to it. I wouldn't have the guts to actually wear it on a date, but I like to pretend.
