An embarrassment of embarrassments
September 8th, 2004
The following took place in an instant message window in mid-August:
Co-worker: What’s up, [screen name that you only use on internet dating sites]?
Leia: Yo.
*pause while reality sets in that NO ONE should know this name*
Leia: Where did you see that?
Co-worker: http://personals.dallasobserver.com
Leia: Oh my, that’s embarrassing.
*pause while reality further sets in*
Leia: Wait a second! AREN’T YOU MARRIED?
And yet sadly, even after front page exposure, no love from the internet dating site. Even with something as alluring as an elementary school painting to entice men with.

You’re famous…I can’t believe dating sites do that…I thought they had to ask permission.
now i know where i know you from, ah ha!
i bet i know which co-worker too. *snicker*
Hmmmm….not sure who it could be!!! Teeheehee
The Asian guy at top bears a frightening resemblance to one of my old roommates. I don’t remember him being a Sarah McLachlan fan, though…
Oh, I thought you were suppose to smile in those pictures… huh.
You would think they would select a profile that doesn’t look as severe, wouldn’t you?
You’re such an Internet rock star!
See, this is why I’ve never bothered with the whole internet dating thing. I do a fine enough job embarassing myself without the internet’s help.
ahhhh….those are the moments that make life golden.
hey, who’s your friend (the girl above you)? maybe you can introduce me…

From the looks of that site, being married wouldn’t really matter . . . for example they include a “couples seeking” . . option
Oh good — you got to see a picture of what *I* look like now, and you’ve inadvertently returned the favour. It seems the past six years have been rather kinder to you than they have been to me….
