Okay this is going to be mostly a lame post, so I thought I would start with something positive!

There is this rad re-purposed furniture store in my neighborhood called Space Oddity that I've been frequenting since I first moved here. My friend, Mira, who lives in my building, raves about it frequently, but until recently I just haven't loved anything that I've seen there. That all changed yesterday! I've been needing front-room furniture, like badly. Specially a place to throw my shit when I walk in the door and to put my shoes on! After months of being super picky about what I wanted in my front room I think ended up with some awesome pieces:


An awesome medical instrument tray and a reclaimed coat wrack


Stainless steal swivel stool and x-ray light box! I am totally in love with the light box I recently had a chest x-ray when I had to have a physical for work so I am going to get a copy of that and put it on display in my entry room


Other than buying some rad furniture this week has been generally pretty blah, I've been trying online dating by way of okcupid.com (this links to my profile for your humor) and wow has it sucked! I first signed up for the site when I first moved here, but after I made some really rad friends really quickly I ended up forgetting all about the site. Last week I remembered about it and signed in to find I had some messages from a few girls. Well I ended up hanging out with them and these are the dates went:

1. This girl messaged me something to the extent of "Hey want to get cupcakes and nerd out about science". So obviously I was stoked on this and she was really cute! So I'm on my way to hang out with her and she picks the weirdest location trophy cupcakes in u-village, u-village is an outdoor maze-like shopping center. Now they have other locations but she didn't tell me until right before I left that we were meeting at u-village, this resulted in me being late.. but only by 6 minutes. When I finally find her/the place she is sitting outside with a cupcake in a box and has her arms crossed. We talk for about 2 minutes and then she is like.. i have to go back to my lab and then gets up and walks away. I don't care who you are this cannot make you feel good about yourself when someone decides they don't like you in under 2 minutes.. at that point it is more than likely physical and wow what a shot to my self esteem.

2. Hung out with another cute girl on St. Patricks day, instead of hanging out with my friends. Date went alright, but generally there was nothing there, just totally blah.

3. On Friday I met up with a girl who lives here in Ballard and she was a total fucking weird-o. Like I was afraid she was going to follow me up and rape me kind of weird-o. Needless to say I won't be seeing her again.

4. Just another blah situation, the girl complained, like a lot! I'm not a fan of complainers, why can't some people just be happy with life??

Anyway this whole week and the online dating thing have been totally exhausting.

Lastly there is this girl who I have a crush on, she is like my perfect girl archetype.. she is totally nerdy, completely fucking adorable and I definitely want to make-out with her. Unfortunately I turn into a complete idiot when I'm around her and cannot seem to get any really good flirting done. Also I should mention it doesn't help that she is sort of a hipster (sort of like.. only kind of, not sort of like sarcasm) and probably thinks she is cooler than me. Anyway I'm not going to give up, I just need to not act like a fucking moron when I'm around her.


Tonight I'm going to see Alice in Wonderland with Basketcase, stoked!
