That my ex from college is both married and has a child. This coming from the man, who when asked about marriage, responded "As Gene Simmons said, marriage is a wonderful institution but you have to be insane to be in an institution." Married with a kid... ha, funny how that works out. And in viewing the pictures of said kid on the ever popular Facebook, he spelled his own kid's name wrong. I was double-amused, first at the odd looking name and second realizing he's probably not gotten a good night's sleep in quite a while. He's a good guy but looks like life isn't going as he'd planned.
Glad I dodged that bullet. Woot!

Overheard conversations between the male of the species
From my favorite web comic:
Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net
In other news, I was out of town for the past week or so, thus the lack of updates. Mr. Avocado is still quite wonderful- this Friday is my turn to cook for him. They do say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach....

How to Spot a Winner
So a friend of mine that I work with told me a question that her fiance asked her on their first date- "If you could have one of these two super powers, which would you choose- front row/first space parking for the rest of your life or the ability to talk to ducks?"
I proceeded to laugh my bum off (thankfully, its now reattached) and texted the question to my sister, my best friend, and Mr. Avocado. All responded duck-talking but Mr. Avocado took the cake with creativity and hilarity of answer. His reponse:
"Honestly, I don't mind having to walk to get to where I'm goin and I have been attacked by fowl before without a single moment to try and resolve the situation. Plus, have you seen the teeth that geese have?!? With all the hissing and wingflappin, a guy would like to know what he did to deserve that. Duck fluency would be a plus. Also, geese are protected by law and for what? More goose turds EVERYWHERE?!? First, we learn the language... then we fight back! They can take our land, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!!"
If you aren't busting out laughing right now, there might be something wrong with you. Just sayin'
I've got date #3 with this winner tonight. He's cooking me dinner :) Who knew, there's a guy out there just as strange as me... and he's attractive to boot!

He took me out, it was a Wednesday night...
So the date with the new guy went very well. I think we'll start calling him Mr. Avocado due to a conversation we had before meeting up. I'd asked him a question I ask pretty much all my friends and people when I first meet them: If you were a fruit/vegetable, what would you be and why? Now, the whole point of this question is creativity; not everyone gets that and they answer with their favorite fruit/veggie rather than one that is appropriate for their personality. I, for example, am a pineapple. I'm a little funny on the outside and some people aren't quite sure what to do with them, but once you get to the super sweet inner fruit, you realize that it was totally worth the effort. His answer was avocado and he put a lot of thought into it- even made a joke about how he makes a great dip at parties.
Anywho, sorry about the long tangent. Mr. Avocado picked me up from work and apologized profusely for being 5 minutes late (he got slightly lost due to exit ramps being closed). I accepted and then proceeded to drool. I mean, I knew what he look like going into this, but he was even more attractive in person, with the personality and cheesy sense of humor to boot. Win! We drove down to Chinatown and walked around a bit in the little stores and admired the abundant Bouddhas and bonsai plants. Lots of great conversation and flirtation.
After some store browsing and lots of walking, we decided that we should work on that whole dinner thing. His friend had suggested a place, but after walking past it, Mr. Avocado decided that it wasn't the ambiance he was looking for. We looked for another place and passed up a place I'd heard about and had been wanting to try. We ended up eating there and talking even more. The food was good, but the conversation was even better. Its starting to get creepy how many random things we have in common, but good creepy :)
After dinner, we walked a bit more and got a tapioca smoothie (which are delicious by the way, aka bubble tea depending on where you're from). Mr. A is not a big fan of the tapioca, but after some teasing from me, he decided to suck it up (literally). The smoothie was mighty tasty, and we decided to attempt some more exploring. We got on the topic of 80s music, George Michaels/Wham! mainly, and he mentioned researching dances from music videos. I asked for a demonstration and much to my surprise, he obliged.
So recap, he's extremely attractive, intelligent, hilarious, and not afraid to act like an idiot for a laugh..... sounds like the male version of me.
He dropped me off and gave me a hug. After I got in, I texted him thanks for a great night and drive home safely. His response: Simply put, I hoped for the best and received! I'm gonna be selfish here and say that the pleasure was all mine.
He's taking me out again Sunday. I'm excited :)

Won't you take me to...
Chinatown :)
Props to anyone who got the obscure and dorky song reference there.
So after much flirting via text on Friday, the new fella set a date for our first date- Wednesday. We also had another 1.5 hours of phone conversation on Saturday evening- I was in watching the dogs that my roommate and I are watching. Good conversation yet again and lots of playful teasing back and forth.
I'm super excited to meet this fella. I got a new dress and everything to wear. And if you hadn't guessed, we're going to dinner in Chinatown. Don't worry, you'll hear all about it ;)
Woot!

Dorks Anonymous
So I talked to the new fella last night on the phone. I'm gonna go ahead and say it went well because we talked for 3 hours. It was wonderful conversation, and we kept finding out more and more that we had in common.
He's pretty hilarious and he laughed at my jokes. I adore people who appreciate a good dose of wit/sarcasm. Let's see, he's also a middle child, like myself. One of the best things I learned last night- he loves kareoke :) He's a pretty big dork, much like myself, and he embraces his dorkiness, again, much like myself.
He's supposed to call again sometime and then he's takin me on a date to Chinatown. I dig it :)
