Online Dating - my The-ARI (theory)

Online dating summary, for me:

• I've emailed to a bunch of mysterious & interesting picture-people,
• Met a number of people I would NEVER date,
• Dated a few people a couple times,
• no 'magic' yet.

My last housemate married a woman he'd met online.
They seem like a perfect match. Met on match.com in fact.

My biggest success online dating:

I met my ex-fiance while waiting for a 1st blind date with an internet woman. HA HA
That's all far behind me now, but it's a good story, no?

So far, no luck off the 'net, but I keep looking.
I think it's bc

1. I have high standards
2. I am a unique character
3. I seek a unique character
4. I am in no way desperate
5. I am healthy, intelligent, and upbeat in my life

I keep trying tho b/c I'm very optimistic. Dating for me is like finding the diamond in the pile of coal. Just b/c I've hit 95% coal online doesn't mean my diamond isn't out there.

Maybe I'll meet her online, or offline. Doesn't matter. I don't worry, she will arrive. But I make sure I put the vibe out that 'she' is wanted and I am making a place for her.

Frappr, CCGworkshop.com, and Grayson - 3 goodies

Google takes another shot at making a kick-ass technology 'commonplace' with frappr. I didn't like it at first, but it's an amazing software. Feel free to add me as a friend on frappr. I'm using frappr to meet w/other filmmakers in Bay Area and also to find a ShadowRun group ... speaking of which:

A true gamer-nerd joy was discovering the awkward CCGWorkshop.com (ccg = collectible card games), which lets you play a few free games a month -- after you dload their small but awkward softare and learn how to use it. I'm a sucker for the ShadowRun RPG and they made a unique and fun ShadowRun CCG awhile back that I bought too much of.

And for Comic Book fans, a cool short that will never see the theaters, but is available for dload on the internet --> Grayson, a story about what Robin does when the first Batman dies. The most impressive part of the film to me is the really high production values, while the film was shot on a shoe-string budget.
