Yesterday was undoubtedly the best day I've had in several months.
Ok, so, allow me to revisit:
It started just like any other day. Woke up at 4:30am, turned the computer on and surfed the net for some three hours. Responded to a number of threads, sat back and just generally chilled out. And by the time 7:00am arrived, I was out and about with my father taking a look at some of the high-end (expensive, in other words) houses around Vancouver.
And take my word for it, some of the houses in this city are just amazing. Not because of their price or lot size, but because of their artistic architecture. Again, these houses are not cheap, but let me tell you, I'd much rather live in a big house with a ton of lot than a tiny house on the beach with little lot space.
After that, I went for a walk around Granville Island and then went home to not only do my regular walking activities, but some good 'ol stomach crunches.
Here's the thing though - remember Sarah (that seemingly amazing girl or HotorNot.com)? Yeah, well, she never responded back to me after my last email message. Things were going great and then it all came to a sudden stop. Why you ask? Well, I know that I never said anything "wrong"... so the most obvious reason is that because - like me - she knew it was hopeless situation. Had we lived closer to each other, there's little doubt in my mind that we would have gone out on a date.
It truly saddened me, but I have long since decide to move on. Since then, I decided to go back on HotorNot.com and start my search for another girl. And two days ago, I clicked "yes" to this amazing looking girl named "Jocelyn". Actually, using the words "amazing" to describe how she looks is probably an understatement.
Anyhow, I clicked yes to her and she clicked yes to me... So, viola! When we first started talking to each other, I had immediately noticed that she hadn't lots to say. Not because she wasn't interesting, or wasn't interested in me, but most probably because that was her character. Nothing wrong obviously - everyone is different in this regard. Anyhoo - on Saturday, I had fired an email off to her to asking her a few more questions about herself, and had been planning to essentially ask her out after she responded back.
And honestly, I took her a little while to respond back to me (this is before I had asked her out, mind you), so I started to naturally wonder If I had said something wrong. And need I remind any heterosexual male, waiting for a girl to respond to you is awful. Few things will drive you as insane...
Nevertheless, I did realize that she is human being and has a life too... So, I just waited it out and she eventually responded. Naturally, I responded back as quickly as possible, and gave her the ever-daunting question.
And then I waited some more... In the meantime, our Landlord had dropped by our house and being the good chap he is, decide dropped off some rather expensive "Jackson-Triggs" Red wine as a Christmas present. I was surprised too, but then I guess it's deserved considering how expensive the rent is... Lol!
And suddenly, a previous blog post that I made about trying alcohol for the first time popped into my mind. And If you recall, I had said that If I was going to try it out, I'd most certainly do it alone. At that point, it was my decision. Having never been drunk ever before, it was now or never. And I did it... The first time ever. I poured a small glass of wine (12.5% alcohol) and drank it. Mind you, the fact that it was undeniably bitter (and in my mind, disgusting) meant that it took some 30 minutes to drink half a glass of wine. Though, within 10 minutes, I could certainly feel the effects. I had this strange headache behind what was best described as my eyes. At first, I felt real lazy and sleepy, but as my body adjusted I started to feel awfully loose. And though I drank very little, it was not only enough to make me dizzy, but dampen my reactions, distort my sense of balance (was tripping around for a while) and latch a seemingly endless smile on my face. I had also noticed that I was slurring my words and hanging onto things like a monkey. The scariest thing about this was the fact that I truly hadn't that much wine. And when I woke up this morning, I noticed that I had (and still have) a very strange headache.
Was it fun? For a little while perhaps, but it's definitely not something that I'd like to do often.
I had my camera on hand so that I'd remember the occasion. Here's one of the many photos I took:
Yeh...
After that, I went surfing on the net and stumbled upon a ton of fantastic Rush bootleg video's that I hadn't seen. And then logged into Facebook to read a private message from Jocelyn saying that she'd like to meet me too. Yep, that's right. We're currently working out the meeting time via Facebook, and have already exchanged phone numbers. Honestly, I think she had been waiting for me to ask her the question since day one.
I couldn't/cannot stop smiling. I'm cannot wait to meet her. Yesterday was just great.
Suffice to say, Sarah and I have had numerous more correspondences since my last blog post pertaining to the subject, and they're always amazing. Her messages never fail to bring a smile to my face. I feel so happy. I find myself clicking my email open 5,000 times a day, eagerly awaiting her response of course. And in that moment, I can truly see the strength of love (or what is seemingly so). Everything else in your mind just fades; things that were once bothering (or bothered) you fade away like dust in a storm.
We've gotten personal as we're now revealing secrets and telling our various life experiences.
I told her that I wished that I like in Kamloops or Calgary (or that she lived in Vancouver) so that we could meet. And her response to that was:
Sarah:
I wish i lived in Vancouver or somewhere closer to you id really love to meet you one day you seem like an amazing guy.
Of course, after she said that, I said the exact same thing about her; essentially, I more or less told her how much I liked her. She's just a fantastic person.
As her email went to a close, I had the slight feeling that - as it had for me before - reality had set in. We live so far away from each other. We'll never get the chance to really get to know each other despite our great connection.
Naturally, I do realize that this isn't the end of the world. I haven't any doubts that I'll meet another girl who I connect with. But until that time, the great distance between us (and the personality connection) is surely leaving me with a degree of heart-ache.
Sarah (see here if you haven't a clue as to what I'm talking about) not only think it's "adorable" that I shower in the pitch dark (yeh, it's a long story), but has started to call me "hunny". Ahhh!
Moreover, our conversations have undoubtedly gotten deeper. More personal, and even a little more flirty. And the similarities between us continue - like me, she doesn't drink or smoke.
It's starting to kill me.... I'M starting to get far too hyped about this whole thing.
In the meantime, here's new photo of her.
Now tell me: does she not looking amazing? Love is in the air.
Oh no, It's happened. I think I've fallen head over heels for a girl on HotorNot.com. I kid you not.
But before I breach on the subject, allow me to say that within a little over a week and and two days of joining for the website's "Meet Me" application, I have already managed to achieve no less than 6 doubles matches. Of the six, only two of them I accepted to meet first; the other four accepted to meet me before I even clicked them...
Mind you, that's only the double matches. They were a couple of others that I clicked no to. But by and large, the girls are coming my way - not the other way around. And I'm greatly surprised by that, especially as some of these girls are just gorgeous. One of the girls by the way, is the girl in the second picture with pink hair and glasses in this particular post.
Though, thus far I've only had the chance to speak with two of them. The first of which lived in Abbotsford and had 3 month old daughter. Yeah, I know what you're thinking... Because I was thinking it too. Worse yet, she just got out of that relationship that left her with the baby a week prior to talking with me.
The problem however, was not the fact that she had a baby (although, I'm not aiming for a relationship as such), but more the fact that she was about as interesting as a stone. No personality whatsoever!
But anyways, I had clicked "yes" to this beautiful girl named "Sarah" who was apparently living somewhere in British Columbia, and suffice to say, she clicked "yes" to me. And ever since that, we've been emailing each other back and forth(totaling several times now).
Obviously we haven't met each other in the flesh, but her personality is amazing. When we first started talking, she said that she had been looking for a boyfriend and clicked "yes" to me as she notably saw that we shared a great deal of the same interests.
After our emails, I have come to the conclusion she is not only the type of girl that I'd want to date, but marry... *shocking*. All-around, she's just incredible. Sassy, interesting, fun and undoubtedly intelligent. Our view points/interests are sookly similar: she admits to being insecure; she's a hopeless romantic; she likes the same television shows as I do; she likes the same movies as I do; she doesn't like new age music; she's an agnostic and she doesn't like big cities as she admits to being a small town kind of girl. The similarities between us are seemingly endless.
And she loves to help people, has been to poverty stricken nations such as Iraq, Africa and Pakistan and is currently going to college to become a Psychiatrist.
There is however, one problem and it's a big one. She currently lives in Calgary, and is moving back to Kamloops... When she told me that, I felt as if I had been gutted like a fish and as our discussions get deeper and deeper, I feel that every bit more gutted. Needless to say, Kamloops is not in Vancouver... It's more than an hours drive away!
And yes... Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but had you the same conversation that I've had with her, you'd be thinking the same. Ehh, I dunno what to say other than the fact I really like her. The sooner I realize that she'll be living in Kamloops and out of reach, the better I'll be. :(
And yes, before you ask, I do have a few pictures of her. Though I'll only post two...
Yes, the pictures are webcam quality (in other words, rubbish), but I've seen enough. I'm convinced.
Rather than going through the entire process of explaining my affection for girls with dyed hair yet again, I'll leave you with this link >> I Love Dyed Hair
Anyways, in looking through HotorNot.com over the last couple of days, I have noticed there is a specific set of characteristics for girls who like do dye their hair. The first and foremost being that nearly all of them have piercings; particularly face piercings. Not that I'm complaining... Oh no, I haven't a problem with a few piercings as long as the face doesn't look like a jewelry rack. The second most common characteristic and the one that doesn't fit my personality, is that most of them are hardcore emo chicks who are into hardcore punk and metal music. Additionally, most of them aren't into "regular" looking guys such as myself, but more the emo type rocker guy who - naturally - plays in a band. And lastly, they like to party and drink like a hound. Therefore, most aren't anywhere close to my personality type.
They're not all like this, but truth be told, close to 85% of them are. I feel disappointed, but I guess I should have known better.
In any event, here are some of my favourite "dyed hair girls" that I've found on HotorNot.com over the last couple of days:
My comments:
Picture 1: Very interesting application of dye. Cute girl too.
Picture 2: Hair looks fantastic. She's cute as well!
Picture 3: This girl is one of the best I've ever seen on HON. And yes, I'm being serious. I like her a whole lot! Love the application of dye too; the colours (green & red) are applied in a streaking style.
Ok, so let's divide this post into two sections:
2 Frustrations:
1) Yesterday I went to Safeway to pick up my regular brand of razors (Shick), but when I got there, they had none left. And because of that, I had to buy another brand... "Gillette" is what I bought, and I just used them... They're awful!!! Blades, literally.
2) The banner/heading for my three blogs are fucked! Because the template has undergone a slight redesign pertaining to the size of the banner, my custom made picture (with the ocean, the Zonda and the Trailer Park Boys) is too big; evidently, it cuts the bottom of the picture off. Bastards. Now I'm going to have to take the time to make a new banner.
Hot Or Not:
You may recall: a while back I entered my photo onto HotorNot.com and with 100 votes collected, I had an average of 7.6. Well, a couple of weeks back I decided to upload a better picture of myself and by the time I had just 40 votes, I had an average of 8.6. And now with some 190 votes, I've got an average of 7.5.
Anyhow, just yesterday I decided to sign up (because it was free) for their "Meet Me" application. Frankly, it's more or a less of a free online-dating system where once you finding someone you think is attractive, you click "yes, I would like to meet him/her".
Within the first day, a girl living in Vancouver named "Jessica" clicked "yes" to me. After reviewing her profile and pictures (she's cute), I eagerly clicked the option saying that I'd like to meet her too.
We have yet to speak just yet, but naturally, when we do it'll be online. Maybe from there it'll evolve. I dunno, we'll see.
Meanwhile, I've clicked "yes" to a number of other girls around British Columbia and eagerly await to see if they're interested in chatting. Even if all they want to be is a "friend" to talk to... I'm up for that.
Yup, now is the time. But in case you haven't been following my Blog and am wondering what the hell I'm on about, here's the skinny:
I submitted a photo of myself on HororNot.com last Friday, and was waiting until I collected at least 100 votes to post my score. See my two previous posts on the subject here and here.
Anyways, so here's my score.
I'm not sure how the graph works considering the peak is at 5 and the coloured bars have been in constant fluxiation, but my average (or perhaps median?) is 7.6. Whatever the hell it is, I'm pretty happy with the score. I've never considered myself "good looking" by anymeans, but my overall score is much higher than I would have rated myself.
Ahh yes... The photo of myself that I entered on Hotornot.com has now collected 74 votes. Though, as I mentioned before, I'm waiting until I get 100 votes to post my score. Should be a couple of days...
Yeah...
Honestly, I cannot think of much to write about at the moment. One of the few things that comes to mind is that last week's episode of Heroes was absolutely kick ass. Other than that, the weather has been very cooperative over the last couple of days - still chilly, but we're getting actual sunshine.
Oh, I've thought of something.... You know that site called "Hot or Not" where you upload a picture of yourself and people from all around the world rate you based on your supposed hotness? Well, I took the fall and uploaded a picture of myself a couple of days ago. So far I've collected some 46 votes and my score is... Nah, I'm not telling you just yet. I'm waiting till I get 100 votes to spill the beans.
