Valentine's Day!

[furtech]

Happy Valentine's Day, particularly to those of you lucky enough to have an SO to spend it with! Despite my singular status, I have no antipathy for the day. V's-day is still my second favorite holiday (after Halloween). Mind you, the day would be a LOT more enjoyable with an SO, but still...

My border collies are wonderful in most every way; the one area they fall short in is in the romance department. Romance for a border collie is apparently a big, meaty bone for each and a putrid fish carcass to roll in and set the mood. They -did- help me dig out gophers in the hillside earlier while I was planting some oak seedlings, but aside from dogwalk, that's about it for today!



What this means is I'd better quit perusing pointless online-dating sites (where everybody wants someone they can't have and pretends to be someone they aren't) and get active in some local groups. Maybe I can fulfill my resolution to do more training with R0ndo and Apache -and- meet more people! The trick is finding someone in the mundane world who watches equal parts of Cartoon Network and Animal Planet, thinks SDCC is neat AND enjoys speculating whether the tail of a giant, rubber monster in a Toho pic was tube-formed or carved...

Ummm...lessee:

--Eharmony (several years and the most boring people on the planet Earth)

--Match.com (I don't think anyone takes this seriously)

--Several pet/dog owner match sites (women seriously into dogs often have some control issues...)

--OKCupid (Far more interesting people! At least you can be Pagan or Muslim or athiest here, as op to Eharmony! Cute memes and stuff, but lots of people looking for something too perfect).

--Geek2Geek (Interesting and lots of geekiness, but not a big enough database. After the first go-through, very few new people showed up)

--Soulgeek (Interesting, may have the same pluses and minuses as G2G: lots of geekiness, not many users yet)

Very possibly I'm too picky, too: The fear of hooking up with the wrong (read: crazy or emotional vampire) woman far outweighs my desire to play the field. I don't have the time for the former and (for now) have to consider the latter a luxury.
