Well, it's been a hot minute since I've put up a post. A lot has gone down, and taken up my time. I'm sporting some new ink these days. I decided the day of the house closing that I wasn't going to put off the tattoo that I had been contemplating for a while. Five minutes after receiving the call from my lawyer saying that the closing was said and done, I was on the phone with the tattoo shop booking my appointment for just over an hour later. I couldn't be happier with the end product and the daily reminder that this tattoo provides me.
Needless to say, that this also means that the house that I had purchased with my ex is now sold, and I no longer have any ties to him. After everything he has put me through over the past 9 months, or really 6 years, of my life I now have the greatest sense of freedom. Although some people tried to attack me for my expression in this blog, I remained both strong and mature and did not lower myself to the level of others.
**Dad, and rest of the family, this is where you stop reading, as the following will drive you nuts and baffle you! Love you guys!!**
It's no secret that I have been checking out the online dating scene. Most of these connections end way prior to ever getting to meet anyone in person. I initially started looking into online date because it had been 6 years since I'd even thought about the dating scene. I mean, I was in college when I met my ex. How does a 28 year old go about meeting someone (other than dating/ hooking up with someone you work with), and what is it like to be dating these days? So I set out to scope out the situation and figure out what I was inevitably getting myself into. I've always been one of those people that holds themselves to a pretty high moral standard. I always go out with the mind set that I want to make my Mimi and Nanny proud, and make my moral judgments based upon how they would view things. That being said, these men online are missing such moral standards. You know that it is a problem when Snapchat, Buzz Feed, and Cosmopolitan ALL write articles about the infamous "Dick Pic".
I must say that at this point I've gotten pretty decent at sensing an impending dick pic, and thoroughly side stepping the situation. When I completely don't see it coming (and thus don't have a chance to thwart it), I've gotten pretty sassy with my comebacks. My favorite comeback has to be Dory from Finding Nemo, followed almost immediately with the comparison of a penis and religion.
One of the articles explains how the one woman sent the dick pic along to the boy's mother, and explaining to the woman that her son had sent an unsolicited picture and that she might want to have a conversation with him. My issue is that I don't understand what boys think they will accomplish by sending such pictures. I get that we live in a world of technology, but are these pictures necessary just because we have the ability to take them and send them? Now don't get me wrong, there is a difference between these unsolicited pictures, and sexting in a committed relationship. Here's the deal, DON'T SEND THE PICTURE, and don't ask "You like that?" because you will get a sassy response, and get yourself blocked! Just because the good lord gave you one, doesn't mean that everyone needs to see it! (See what I did there! Sometimes I crack myself up!)
I have also been reconnecting with a bunch of friends from my past, and it has been a blast. I have ended up running into nearly everyone that I worked with in high school, old high school friends, and sorority sisters. Goes to show that it's nice to take it all back to simpler days every once in a while. What I wouldn't give for a Saturday lax day at good old Camp Lyco, and a night at The Cell with my sorority sisters afterward. I am thinking I'm going to have to go back to alumni weekend next year.
For now, that's about all I've got. I'm sure I'll have something to talk about soon, but until then "Stay Classy San Diego", and don't send dick pics!
I'll leave you with a link to one of the songs that I am currently addicted to. Enjoy!
