So I got back from practice earlier tonight. This was our first practice with a new bassist. (For those who don't know, we asked our old bassist to leave over the holidays and thus the search for a replacement has begun.) She only got the material yesterday, but so far seems to have a pretty good handle on it. So it seems we may become YABWAHCB (yet another band with a hot chick bassist) -- heh. You'd almost think we are trying to indie-fy ourselves with each passing second.
Speaking of hot chicks, is it me or is every date-worthy (read: interesting, or at least seemingly so) girl in this post-college era either married or already in a long-term relationship? I don't really believe that -- it was part of a theory advanced by an interesting friend of mine -- but you'd think I'd see more counter-examples of this. Actually, maybe I do believe it and just don't want to believe it. Who knows? Anyone capable of shedding any light on this odd topic?
Meanwhile, I appear to have a leaking tire -- which based on inspection and empirical observation seems to be due to a slightly dented rim. This goes on the list of things to take care of tomorrow. Good night. [04:21]

Posted by: tony at January 24, 2003 10:00 AMMarried girls and/or girls in a relationship are not untouchable. Just more difficult. Think of it as a challenge. . .
Posted by: worm at January 25, 2003 2:15 AMHeh, trust me I realize that. It's just... an unfortunate reality. Outside of lucky timing or the "exceptions", you have to be kind of a bastard. Still, I'm not 100% convinced this is all true or even relevant.
Posted by: mlee at January 25, 2003 4:56 PMIt's not true. It's a complete and total fallacy. I have so many hot female friends out here, and they are ALL SINGLE.

Posted by: jackflaps at January 28, 2003 11:59 AM"Hot" does not necessarily meant date-able. A female can be great looking, but rather lacking in the intelligence or personailty department, which for some, would preclude date-ness.
I hope Leo was not serious, I had liked him.
So, who's this interesting friend of yours, Mike?
It has been my experience - albeit I'm not all that experienced - that roughly 95% of all the females I have been attracted to have turned out (having knowledge of status after being attracted to)to be in some form of relationship, be it dating or marriage, or soon to be married.
Although, I am slightly concerned that with your overall personage, you should not be having quite so much difficulty meeting someone interested in spending some time with you.
It would seem to me, that post-college, the means to meeting more people is the same as the means to better your prospects of getting a job - having a 'contact' within (and if I had a brain, I could figure out the phrase I'm looking for to describe that). If you are similar, and spend most of your time either at work, preparing for work, or sleeping so you can go to work, then the people you are going to meet are co-workers. This tends to not be the ideal place to find a relationship. And, if you're like me, you don't have friends in the area, the number of people you meet becomes very limited, especially when one doesn't visit bars or clubs or any of that other foolishness. Then, circumstances seem to work out such that those that you do meet and are interested in turn out to be in relationships.
So, my humble peice of advice is that if you are looking to have a relationship with someone interesting, tell your friends that you are interested in meeting people, and what you are interested in. Most likely, they either know of someone, or someone they know knows someone.
Posted by: haglund at January 30, 2003 9:59 AMWell, the latest encounter fell in the "seemingly interesting" category -- not someone I know real well yet. Anyway, it was just a convenient excuse to bring up a repeating pattern.
I'm not really having difficulty finding people who I want to spend time with/want to spend time with me. Just none of them are both female and single ;).
Anyway, (hopefully) I wasn't whining but perhaps I was. I think it was more intended as exasperated bemusement (and a springboard for other people's ideas/experiences).
