Wow. I know I have not blogged for a while but here is one for you.
Tonight I was on OKCupid browsing around and replying to messages. An instant message window pops up and the guy messaging me is pretty cute! You know I am a beard aficionado, and though he was only 25...what's the harm. So we were chatting, and he asked "do you have any dealbreakers?" And I said people who chew with their mouths open.
It turns out he was talking about "personal" dealbreakers, by which he meant things about me that might be a dealbreaker for another person. I thought he was going to reveal that he had a prosthetic leg or was in a wheelchair or something. But instead he said "I find girls' feet really cute." I was like "oh, ok...yeah, that seems pretty normal?" And he got a little detailed, in that he likes to see the bottom of feet with the toes stretched out and the girl's smiling face. I was like, oh, ok, that seems pretty specific, but to each his own, right?
Then he started on "do you have Skype?" and I said yes, I did, but I would prefer to meet up for a coffee first. It turns out he was asking because he wanted to see my feet TONIGHT. RIGHT NOW. My first thought is not that this is really forward/intense, but that my Skype username is my full name. Haha. So I tell him that my hair isn't washed, but going for a coffee later sounded great.
He tells me that he can't ask me out on a date before seeing my feet because he would be nervous the whole time thinking and wondering about them!
So I said "ok, I will message you later" (what is wrong with me?) and shut that window down.

So I tell him that I have to go and finish knitting a baby hat that I am working on, but he tells me that's cool, HE DOESN'T MIND IF I KNIT WHILE ON SKYPE.
