#NerdsUnite: My name is Alicia and I'm doing 50 dates in 50 states (Missouri)
Quiet, unimposing and rather unassuming, Jake was anything but typical for a first date that was going to be filmed. Admittedly, while the men I’ve gone out with have been unique snowflakes, if they were books we were studying in literature class we’d be able to pick out a theme through them all: outgoing.
#NerdsUnite: Simple words. Spectacular impact. (my story on supporting @chris4cure)
Being told in this very last moment spent with my grandfather to follow my dreams versus being "realistic" and just directly pursuing a career in programming or engineering was extremely profound.
There was always this cloud of regret around my grandfather, but in this moment he displayed hope and I could see how much he not only loved me, but believed in me. He knew I was going to "make it," whatever the "it" was that I was after.
#Question: Do You Have Jessica Rabbit Syndrome?
Have you ever looked at someone and thought that he/she just looked mean? Or saw a beautiful woman out who looked angry, but after talking to her you realized that she was actually cool? I call that the Jessica Rabbit syndrome. This is about giving everyone a chance and not judging a book by its cover.
#RealDeal: How LOTR's put me in the "Friend Zone" & why it's awesome
Having nothing else to do on a Saturday night I found myself catching up on some of Jen's older posts, specifically about her past dates and relationship. I guess I found myself doing this as I have been recently hanging out (yes...just hangin’) with a specimen of the female variety which I thought may lead to some type of relationship, which in the end didn't (but more on this latter).
#NerdsUnite: My name is Alicia and I'm doing 50 dates in 50 states (Arkansas)
When a polyamorous man in Arkansas agreed to go out with me, my first thought was “Holy molasses, was it rude that I didn’t invite his wife and girlfriend too?” What worried me most about going out with a polyamorous man was simply the logistics of polyamory. Everything else was merely a first date in the purest sense of the term: Meet. Eat. Walk. The usual.
#RealDeal: Quit being awkward, start being awesome (the story of the Wells Fargo Hottie)
As I walked down the street going into the bank I could hear the displacement of air from all of the heads spinning. My outfit was a really, really, big hit as I received multiple compliments just walking those few steps. I freaking LOVE living in West Hollywood! The men are so complimentary and when you look good they make SURE you know it!!!
#ThatAwkwardMomentWhen: You're at a karaoke bar in Koreatown and Kiefer Sutherland walks in ...
See, this is my issue ... based on commercial attraction and mathematical symmetry of my features, I NEVER have a problem getting a dude ... but keeping them from wanting to punch me in the face before the end of the night isn't always easy. I'm EXTREMELY opinionated, and at bars guys genuinely don't care to hear it.
I kept dancing.
Float like the feather, be free and fuck everything else, I thought.
#NerdsUnite: Ask That Nerdy Chick (so you trimmed pot, eh?)
It is my goal for 2013 to take a lot of my weird and wonky experiences as a lifecaster and help nerdy peeps out by providing a frank (not shirley) and honest answer to some weird and potentially random questions you may have about life.
#DatingDetox: Officially, officially complete. I can haz contacts! (FT. Nate Berkus)
While I was couch surfing I wore the same pair (super gross), and then one day wound up losing one of the lenses in a complication with the case. It sucked major balls, and I had to stare at everyone out of one eye ball for quite some time. Thankfully, I wasn't driving but it did cause a series of rather uncomfortable interactions with men thinking I was winking at them.
#EpicFail: Remember that one time a super gorgeous guy hit on you and you froze? Yeah. Good job.
He then steps out of line and walks around behind the counter. I try not to stare but my eyes have a mind of their own and have already decided that the hunt is on, and MAMA LIKES!!!
I wait in line for a minute or two longer as I stare at him wondering who he looks like.
He's a perfect blend of Ian Smoldehalder ....
