A friend of mine recently started a blog called “Dating is Miserable.” She has fewer than ten entries up, and already – WOW. I am not much of a dater, only starting recently, but it’s amazing who’s out there. Some of her stories are hilarious. Others are just sad and make you want to lose all hope in the dating process. Goodness, I’m glad I’m not anyone she’s dated. Wouldn’t want to be one of the topics of discussion. At least it makes them a little internet famous!

Fortunately, my life is not anywhere near that level of excitement. Instead, I’ll bask in the random traffic I get here from being linked by my friends. YAY!

Her latest entry is about the questions she usually asks on a first date to gauge whether or not to continue on with the shenanigans. Here are my answers:

1. How do you take your coffee?
I tend to like the sweeter, mixed drinks. However, lately I haven’t been taking my caffeine very well. It keeps me from sleeping properly at night, and during the day, it makes my stomach gurgle.

2. How do you like your eggs?
Poached. Eggs Benedicts and versions thereof make me super happy.

3. Have you ever been married?
That’s a negative.

4. What is your favorite movie?
I don’t have a favorite, but movies I enjoy include: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Amelie, Garden State, Matrix, Serenity, Serendipity, Love Actually, Wristcutters: A Love Story, Big Fish, etc. This list could go on…

5. Taken from Chuck Klosterman’s 23 Questions I Ask Everyone I Meet, Let us assume there are two boxes on a table. In one box, there is a relatively normal turtle; in the other, Adolf Hitler’s skull. You have to select one of these items for your home. If you select the turtle, you can’t give it away and you have to keep it alive for two years; if either of these parameters are not met, you will be fined $999 by the state. If you select Hitler’s skull, you are required to display it in a semi-prominent location in your living room for the same amount of time, although you will be paid a stipend of $120 per month for doing so. Display of the skull must be apolitical. Which option do you select?
This one is just bizarre. If someone asked me on a first date, I’d probably just look at ‘em… like what?

6. What is the last book you read?
Sadly, nothing new lately.

7. What kind of music do you like?
Everything! Something different for every mood. I like to sing along to pop songs on the radio in my car or at home. I’ll dance to anything booty-shaking.

Yeah, I don’t think I passed…
