40 Things Every Drunkard Should Do Before He Dies

Not that I'm a drunkard, but I'm way behind. And it looks like I've been wasting my time slapping ass because it's just not on the list.

More On My Match

Looks like Stummy took the same personality test I took at Match.com and posted her results. I linked to mine earlier but for those of you who missed it or were too lazy to click a link here are my results.

Who You Are
You're always exploring
You're smart, insightful, and have an insatiable curiosity about life. In fact, you're always studying problems and finding ways to fix them. You refuse to settle long-term for a boring job or doing something just because it's expected of you. Life should be "balanced" with plenty of time for fun, spontaneity, and relaxation! You try to avoid scheduling every minute of your day and instead prefer a more informal and "go with the flow" approach. You're a private person and a little hard to get to know, especially emotionally. When you express your feelings, it's more likely through your actions and practical support than through words.

What's dating all about to you?
You believe dating and life in general is about learning and growing as a person. You're a great listener, so women tend to enjoy going out with you. However, it's hard for you to have a real intellectual connection with an attractive woman. Hopefully, you've found a way to "go with the flow" in dating as you already do in other parts of your life.

You face two major challenges in finding the love of your life. First, because you're shy, you feel like you have to be someone else or "wear a mask" to go out and meet new people. You're left feeling like a distant observer, and women find it hard to truly understand you. Second, although having a vision of what you want can be helpful, the risk is that your high standards can get in the way of loving a real-life imperfect woman.

Quirks women notice
Like all men, you have your strengths as well as your quirks and shortcomings. Ultimately, you want to find someone who will love and accept you "warts and all." Because you're a private person, it's especially important that you find a partner who understands.

You have a pretty even-tempered personality and may not have any especially annoying or quirky habits. Of course, seeming to be "perfect" could be seen as a flaw by some, in which case you may just want to pretend to have a bad habit!

Who You're Looking For
She'll be an enigma
You're looking for a woman who's smart, insightful, and has an insatiable curiosity about life. The two of you could share a very interesting and exciting intellectual connection. Getting closer emotionally takes time, since she's an independent and sometimes shy person by nature. But she's worth the effort to get to know! Your best strategy is to see her "in action" when you go out with friends but still find quiet time with her to talk. You'll discover she's a good conversationalist, especially if you get her talking about books, current events, or any of her many interests and hobbies.

Overall, it's important for you to be with someone who is almost always cheerful and has an optimistic outlook on life. The ideal person you're seeking shares a number of positive qualities with you, including:


No strong similarities were detected, which suggests that you may be more attracted to certain "opposite qualities."

Deal breakers
You seem ready to adapt to the good and frustrating qualities of the women you're looking for, but there are types of women you clearly do NOT like. Women's habits and attitudes you'd have a hard time putting up with include:

Women who are moody or overly negative.
Women who need frequent reminders that you care about them and would be upset if they thought you found another woman physically attractive.

Sex
Romantic sex
Good sex is important to you, but it's only one of many ways you connect with your partner. To you, life is about finding balance, and a romantic and satisfying sex life is a key part of your vision.

Among men your age, your particular combination of sexual drive and interests is similar to about 1 in 6 men (16%).

Is she sexually compatible?
You're looking for someone just like you, who values the quality of sex over the quantity. You want someone who would never pressure you about sex.

What's ahead for you sexually?
A good sexual match plays a key role in your "ideal" relationship. Your only risk is to have sex get too comfortable; too predictable. Since you're naturally calm and rational during fights, you miss out on great "make-up" sex! If you can bring your natural creativity and imagination to the bedroom, your sex life will never be boring.

I'm not so sure that it accurately describes myself but it does a fairly good job in articulating what I'm looking for. Now get to finding me my match.

Thought For The Day

Saw this quoted in a review of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind over at De Novo:

Chaucer’s human nature is essentially Shakespeare’s: the deepest link between the two greatest English poets was temperamental rather than intellectual or sociopolitical. Love dies or else lovers die: those are the pragmatic possibilities for the two poets, each of them experientially wise beyond wisdom.

Détente Anyone?

The whole Brian and Annie thing has me feeling like a cross between Jimmy Carter and a kid caught in the middle of divorce proceedings.

Hopefully it turns out so that I get both the Nobel Peace Prize and an ice cream cone.

March Madness Day 2: Supangans Dominating

I'm bringing up the rear, 6 correct picks behind Bunny. Ellisen is tied for second, three picks behind. Their Michigan St. pick is going to hurt them though. I'm still in decent shape - as is everyone else, but this weekend should be telling - as all of my Sweet Sixteen teams are still in it.

Quote This

"I was going to put 'Or see "A" for Annie'." - Bunny

"Instead, a convergence of three separate trends is conspiring to kill off TiVo."

Bunny and Ellisen may want to pull that item from their registry. They're also registered here and here.

They're good people, feel free to get them something.

Lots of Birthdays Last Night Plus One

I had dinner last night - fully dressed - with Bunny, Brian and Rose at Claim Jumper in Valencia. The night started with Rose seeing me come into the restaurant and suggesting to Bunny that they ignore me. It didn't last very long as I sat down next to her and said, "Hey." Not a few minutes after I sat down that we were paged to our table. As usual, not knowing how to judge traffic out here still, Brian had yet to arrive. So being unoriginal - this being another one of Rose's suggestions - we told the waitress that our late arriving companion was celebrating his birthday that night and told her that if she did a real good job of helping us celebrate his birthday she would get a good tip.

So Brian arrives, not too late at all, and was warmly greeted to the table by our waitress who proceeded to overtly and playfully flirt with him. This goes on for the whole night and at first Brian had no idea what was going on so he's just unwittingly playing along probably thinking that the people in Valencia are really nice. Then the waitress let slip that it was his birthday. In return, Brian almost - and actually may have, which means she was nice about it - let slip that it wasn't his birthday but saved it by saying that he didn't like to be embarrassed on his birthday and therefore didn't want anyone to know or to celebrate it, which only made our waitress promise that he would be embarrassed.

After we finished our meal, the staff came out and sang and clapped a "special" birthday song for Brian that ended with the words "splish splash".

So let that be a lesson to you. Don't be the last to arrive.

Moot Court Round 3

Best of luck to all those participating at the LA County Superior Court. With about a hundred people participating and 16 oral finalists, 28 oral alternates, 16 best brief writers, and 16 alternate brief writers being asked to interview for the moot court honors program; chances are good - even if there is some overlap - that you will at least get that interview. So don't worry about it and have some fun.

I'm sure section B will be overly represented.

If Match.com Doesn't Work Out II...

From CNN:

Lonely-hearts will stand a better chance of finding a soul mate thanks to new mobile phone dating technology.

Would-be daters looking for a "significant other" may soon be able to subscribe to a service which stores in their phones a personal profile and information on what they want most from a partner.

When there are enough similarities between two people, and they happen to be in close proximity, the service tells their phones to communicate with each other.

Today In Class

Just in case you weren't there. We got through the terminology part of res judicata but didn't go into anything else for class 19 on the syllabus for Civ. Pro. In Torts we got through the first two cases for products liability after a preview of what's to come in the next few weeks. A standard day in law school.

MIA

Both Stummy and Brian took the day off from classes. Hmmmm.... it's enough to make one wonder if Brian was getting bossed around.

Over 12 Hours Later And Still No Chafing

In fact I'm enjoying this so much, I'm thinking about making it my Friday ritual.

First Day Of March Madness

I'm tied for eighth in a pool of fourteen. Not too bad and too far off of the lead. And the ones I did get wrong, I didn't have getting passed the second round. Seems like most everyone else is pretty much in the same boat except for one of the Supangans - shouldn't it be Turners? - who had Michigan St. getting to the Final Four, ouch.

Yesterday

I was nominated and ran unopposed, securing me a position on APALSA's Board as their SBA liaison. So next year I'm VP Stummy's go between bitch. Lucky me.

UPDATE: Here's the full, short story. Stummy nominated me for the position against my wishes thinking it would help me. Thanks Macy. And even though I was running unopposed I had to give an improptu speech. So here's what I said,

Basically, I was nominated so I could hook up with this chick. So vote for me.

Short and eloquent, the way all speeches should be.

Underwear Isn't A Necessity

To her credit, Stummy made it to ten days without shopping so if you took the over, you won. She denies though that buying a bra counts as shopping because bras are a necessity, which means she is still keeping true to her self-imposed shopping ban. To prove her squirrelly ignorance - or mine - I am not wearing underwear today. Let's see if I can make it through the day.
