Theme song of the day:
The Decemberists, "O Valencia"
So let me tell you a story. I was single this time last year. Then I decided to not be single, and post a personal on the trailer park of online dating sites (like all young professionals these days). My screen name was "O Valencia", because I was going through a major thing with The Decemberists. If I could have dated them, I would have. So I had lots of scary replies from not very interesting guys, and only a couple knew the reference that my screen name was making. Not that screen name recognition was a prerequisite for dating me, but it certainly helped.
Then this guy, this wacky guy sent me a snarky comment about my music taste, and asked if I had ever listened to Nickelback. This then led to a conversation about the Nickelback sex tape. Then we went out a short time later, in hopes of preventing a build up of expectations.
The expectations were indeed crushed. Smashed. Obliterated.
We're still dating.
It's been pretty damn good.
