Doing my chores … October 29, 2006

I have updated my blogroll. Finally. And it was waaaay out of date. I started with 148 blogs this morning. I ended with 233. That’s right. I added 85 blogs to my blogroll. And then I got tired.

I am mortified that some people blogrolled me months and months ago and I am just adding them now. Mortified. Like forgetting to send a wedding present mortified. Like leaving the house in a white shirt with a black bra mortified. Sorry.

I may take Charlotte’s lead and get a blog personal assistant.

So, I went through Technorati links and my e-mail and my sitemeter and my comments. But I KNOW I forgot some. So, if I did, please e-mail me, comment here, comment on the blogroll page. Do all three if you want. Also, e-mail me if I misspelled your name or blog title or whatever. It was a lot of cutting and pasting and coffee.

A few notables from the new additions to the ‘roll:

Best blog title of the new bunch added to the ‘roll: I was told there would be bacon

This is funny. Especially since I hate bacon. If I were told there would be bacon, I would not be excited.

Best Halloween costume posted about on a new addition to my blogroll: The Franzia Box from bee-spot. Dear God, how much Franzia did I drink in college? My old roommate and I would alternate who bought the box. I want to puke just thinking about it.

Fellow NaNoWriMo participant: Life of a Georgia Farmer

Bring it. Because I have 50,000 words inside of me. I know it.

The anti-NaNoWriMo blogger new to the ‘roll: Jen All Day

I will not abandon my blog. I will not!

Two men after my own heart: Girlfriend ’07

Because I also want to have someone special to make out with on New Year’s Eve.

Pimping the online dating: Yahoo! Personals Blog

Yes, Yahoo! Personals has a blog written by their online dating experts. If I date online any longer, I may become an expert on how NOT to online date correctly. E-mail me, Yahoo! Personals Dating Experts! You read my blog. You know I need serious help with the online dating.

The blogger whose pain I feel because I am a professional wing woman at times: The Misadventures of Wing-Woman

Because I always wanted to be a red head, but no amount of hair dye and watching “My So-Called Life” could do it: Thoughts of a Crazy Red Head

Guys, this is who you blame when you have to ask your girlfriend to marry you in some crazy way. Because, seriously, if this works out for him … you’ll all be screwed. (“Flowers? Candles! HE PAID $2.5 MILLION FOR A COMMERICIAL!”): My Super Proposal

Because I’ve always wished I had a British accent: Girl Dates London

I really like the word copasetic: The Copasetic Fish

thanks for adding me! but my blog name is spelled wrongly haha!

your friend single girl is awesome. i wouldn’t have been able to tell the bartender to transfer my drink to a guy’s tab. if a guy is there and he’s paying then that’s not a problem at all.

ACK! more blogs to read!!!!

any rec from you automatically gets added on bloglines, though. very exciting to have new blogs!!!

re:guilt. don’t worry about it. i was sure that i would have NO MORE readers once i started to get behind on everyone’s blogs, but some people actually still read me!

now that i have internet at home, i should be caught up in no time…

Hello,

I recently published an article on the complexities of dating in general and blind dating and online dating in particular – here is a quote from it, in case you are interested:

How to create your profile?
1. Make a realistic profile. Try to show your best qualities without lying about something you are not. Try to find out what exactly appreciate the other at you;
2. List the most important features you expect your partner to have, but don’t exaggerate, just stick to the real life;
3. Learn to recognize a cheater from a sincere person by reading that person’s profile or by asking a set of questions that would reveal that person’s ego;
4. Start by chatting with more than one person;
5. Try to communicate with that person in an open manner;
6. Study the other’s profiles to help your create a more attractive profile for yourself;
7. Save yourself if necessary and don’t let these kind of virtual reality seize you completely. Give yourself more options in your life and consider virtual reality as one of the many, and not the only way.

If you feel this helps, please drop by my website for additional dating tips and resources such as body language tips or additional resources on dating mistakes .
