Officer Veronica, Pandora AGAIN, Tinder Part Two, Steak


I have "cop" written all over me

When we were in Washington, and whenever I travel, and when in public, and in general, my inner cop comes out, and I end up doing things like checking under beds, in closets, and behind shower curtains before allowing anyone to getting comfortable.  Kate always says, "I don't like that."  This is one of many very quirky things about me, and I apologize. 


Pandora

I changed my Pandora settings, because, quite frankly, I couldn’t take it anymore.  Literally every single commercial was about “Are you worried about fertility?  Is your career and other life circumstances delaying starting a family?  Look into egg freezing!  Prime candidates are those in their early to mid-thirties, when fertility is at its highest.  Now is the time to register for the 2014 egg freezing convention in Washington D.C..”  So now I changed it to birth year 1960, and it is advertising greek yogurt and office depot.  Enough is enough.  Whatever will be will be.  I don’t need Pandora pressuring me to start a family.



Tinder, Part Two

I went to dinner with Daniela the other night, and we had a couple of glasses of vodka, and then I handed over my cell phone so she could play with Tinder.  She thought it was the most fun game.  She was on there for a good 20 minutes, yelling at the phone.  “EW NO.  That is a purebred.  HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF RESCUING FROM THE SHELTER??  EW.  GOODBYE.”  And then she forbade anyone with a purebred, and all gingers (I had to correct the second part for her,) and a host of other rules, and she might have talked to someone.  I’m scared to open the ap.  I don't know what she's done.

Here are a few good ones I’ve been collecting as I go:

 FIRST AND FOREMOST: 




Yup, that's right.  Sterling Archer is on Tinder near me.







It's the best profile on the entire Tinder, and I want to date whoever is behind it immediately.

Next up:




A lot of people put stacks of money as their photo.  Or their Audis. Or whatever.


Anyway, basically 95% of Tinder is a big Nope.



I run across of ...let's just go ahead and be polite ... clearly metrosexual gentlemen.  


I mean, what are you doing?



And.. wait... this is.. this has to be a woman...



Okay and.... Ready??  This:



Okay so.... 




Steak

The Temp here at work is VERY JUDGE-Y of people (I'm hoping he'll read this.  He also loves when I refer to him as The Temp.) 

Temp: "Veronica, if someone took you out to a lunch interview, and ordered at $20 steak, what would your reaction be?  What would you think of that person?”

Veronica (not missing a beat):  “I would order one too.  No wait, I would order a $26 dollar steak.”

Right?  What would you do/think?

Also, this morning, The Temp started choking on something, and I tried to not show that I was laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing.  Then I turned around, and he was just staring at me, whilst choking.  LOL.  Even now, I can't stop laughing.  He said I am the absolute worst.  He's right.  

2:31 PM  Veronica
Did you need me?  I can never tell when you are trying to get my attention
2:32 PM Temp
Good
then I have succeeded
Apparently choking to death isn't one of the ways to get it
2:32 PM Veronica
def not
it is a way to cheer me up, tho.

He's the best. 

Update:  As the temp read this, he yelled, "I AM VERY JUDGE-Y OF PEOPLE?!??!?!!!!!  ARE YOU SERIOUS???"  And I chuckled and said that was exactly how I planned that moment to go.  Then he said I was the worst, and I said I know.  Then he read the rest of it and said again, "You are the very worst."  And I said I know.  Then he said, "Everything about this moment went exactly how you thought it would, didn't it?  I reacted exactly as you thought I would?  You must be very proud of yourself."  Yes I am.

Okay, that's all for now.

Tinder, Fertility, And Assorted Findings

I know that it has been a while since I have posted.  I've been traveling, and fighting illness, so I haven't had a chance to sit down and write.  However, you people who read this blog, and then ask for more, are what encourages and reminds me to write, so thank you for your feedback.  




Some people even email me literally every single day with just the subject line "BLOG?!" and nothing else in the email, like a crazy, stalker, overly attached blog reader. 



It's great.  I love it.

Tinder - Time to SWIPE RIGHT!!!!(?)

One of my most beloved friends got a Tinder account and claims that she found the love of her life.  I do basically anything she tells me to do, so she tells me to download Tinder, which I do, and it is a total joke.  As in, actually hilarious.  I’M DOING THIS FOR YOU, BLOG READERS.  Mostly, for my married friends, who want to live vicariously through me.

  

I would like to present some of the best gems I have found.  You’re welcome.


I present to you… Alessandro





All I have to say to that is...



This intriguing and probably popular lover was found in the vicinity of Forks, WA.  You’ve got to be forking kidding me.  Apparently Forks has quite the BDSM scene.  In case you're into that sort of thing.  




Then there's this gem of a fella.  Believe it or not, there's a lot of this sort of thing on Tinder.


Ummmm.....



This guy got an immediate swipe left due to the fact that EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PHOTO IS WRONG.  Wrong form, wrong kind of bow… this guy is phony and a faker.  COME ON.  Joker.  Like Taylor Swift says, the fakers gonna fake fake fake fake fake.



More to come, if I remember to check Tinder.  YOU'RE WELCOME. 

Fertility

You know how I mentioned before that Pandora has been very rude lately regarding suggesting that my fertility is coming to an end?  Well now it is becoming more aggressive; it is actually inviting me to egg freezing conventions.


Facebook has also started making not-so-subtle hints.



Rude.

Self Envy

I have the app Timehop, which shows you your social media posts “on this day” from years past.  It’s awesome – almost every day there is a gem from something very clever and funny that I said in years past.

However, sometimes, I am just filled with envy… of myself.  I’ll look at a post and think, “What?... that’s crazy.”  And I’m actually jealous of my own history.



Flying over Greenland?  Ugh.  Jealousy.

Being white

Daniela keeps sending me links to articles about pumpkin spice and pumpkin beer and other things pumpkin.  Because I'm white.  I don't know if she's white or not, I've never asked.  Still.  It feels racist.



Out of sight, out of heaven? 

Hey, look at this sign we passed in Washington.



It says, “God does not believe in atheists therefore they do not exist.”


Thoughts, comments, snide remarks?


I know that I owe you some discussion about my recent trip to Washington, and I'll get there eventually.  Hold your horses.  Laters.
