i haven't logged in to findsomeone dot co dot nz all year. and today i get all these smiles from dudes. today. valentine's day. two words: desper-ate.

so - just for curiosity's sake - i checked out the smiles. boys who say im instead of i'm get disqualified straight away. because it is infuriating. boys who claim tolerance as their key feature suggests that they are judgemental. which suggests i'm not interested. boys who tell me they are in to uwh can forget it because wtf? (although i added this one to my favourites because his ugly sunglasses in his profile picture made it look like he is wearing heavy eye makeup. i find that hot).

and since i was already logged in i checked out my top matches. there are heaps of people who were on there before. as in before the new year. as in before, when i thought it would find me the love of my life. of the new boys the highlights include: mr "27 year old hutt valley" who looks more like 47. a dude who quotes the pringles ad in his profile (i added him to the favourites) and a seemingly endless supply of boys who are either outgoing and outdoorsy OR not quite what you'd expect (more nerdy, less nerdy either way it is all about not judging a book by its cover, which is probably good advice, given wellington boys appear to be unable to take photographs of themselves). and a man who says he's fresh meat on the market. and that i should get him while he's hot. ew.

as always, it remains good to recognise people on findsomeone dot co dot nz. reading their profile is like looking in their medicine cupboards. ie it is AWESOME. plus i suspect the one i recognised today is stalking me electronically due to the way he basically set up findsomeone. so he has probably read my profile. and laughed in an uncharitable way about how i'm trying to seem oh so aloof. anyway it was annoying that i know him because his profile is handsdown the best on the site.

unfortunately my boyfriend from the bus yesterday does not appear to be on findsomeone dot co dot nz. i searched under his known name and variations (bus boy, bus man, bus guy, bus dude, dude on bus etc...) and nothing. also he was not on the bus this morning. i had especially worn practical shoes to work too so that if i needed to carry his flowers up the stairs at work i reduced the odds of tripping and or falling. sometimes i blur fantasy and reality. actually maybe i should edit my findsomeone profile and include this whole fantasy side to my personality.

anyway, apart from giving secret valentine's to each of my team members today, and crocheting two wool hearts, that is the extent of my VD celebrations. internet dating. it may be the best VD of all time.
