it's not a job interview
 

but it may as well be.
I mean, what exactly should I be looking for in the guys I date?
I've noticed that I'm still clinging to this idea of who I'm looking for.
and it's rather unfair.

I used to require 3 things from each guy before I'd even consider dating him.
must be taller than me. must have strong religious views. and must not drink/smoke/do drugs.
and now?
well... I still want someone taller than me. and I still want strong religious views. but what else? I'd like to say I'm still sticking to the whole no drinking/smoking/doing drugs... but I mean, I drink and smoke now. and I've not gone out and hurt anyone. So I guess drinking and smoking is ok... but still no drugs.

what about age?
My best friend irl is 13 years older than me. r00 is 5 years older than me. david is 6 years older than me. All my sisters are at least 20 years older than me. One of my best friends, Rob, is younger than I am. And another close friend of mine is exactly my age (born on the same date, no joke).
In spite of the actual number, these are all people I consider to be my age.
I dated this guy jeremy for a while. he's 7 years older than me, but it was such a big difference. He'd already graduated, spent some time backpacking in europe, and had a real job. He had a career, rather. And a house, with a yard that he cut on the weekends. We had a lot in common, but omg he was older than me. Ya know?
So I guess age ~is~ just a number, and it depends more on the lifestyle the person lives.

And I'd been flirting w/ the idea of not dating outside my os.
I don't really see that happening. It's come up that a lot of people still use dial up. atm I guess I'm still wigging out about that.
guess I didn't think anyone our age would use such a slow connection.
it's creepy.

on a lighter note, milkdud's gone and gotten his tongue pierced.
he sounds like... well... he's got a lisp. and his tongue is swollen.
so he's having to relearn how to talk and eat and such.
and atm he's taking pictures of his tongue w/ his phone.
rofl
but he's a sweetie.
