Let me know if youre interested.

GREEK LADY? GREEK LADY? Ok, the rest of the email is fine…. but there’s a big difference between Geek and Greek. Unless you’re a Greek Geek, I suppose.

Bachelor #14

I am a geek, and I’ll proudly admit it. What kind of geek are you? I will gladly tell you more about me if you’ll return the favour.

British spelling? I can forgive that. He seems okay, but offers no other information other than he’s a geek.

    Reminds me of an email I got a long time ago (2004 to be exact, thanks gmail!). A bit of background: At the time, I was using Hot or Not to find dates. This chick was one of my “double matches” and we talked for a while… As far as I can remember, she’s the only person I’ve ever stopped talking to because of her writing. I don’t have the rest of our correspondence, but here’s the last thing she sent me:

    “You a fucking ass hloe! i know i spell porly. you know u could have just said it to me straght. you fucking pussy! what ever. un eduagated prick!”

    I don’t remember why I told her I wasn’t interested anymore… But I’m pretty sure I didn’t say anything inflammatory. I actually don’t know how she figured out my reason… I just checked my livejournal archives, and I didn’t post anything about her except that last email.

    Bachelor #14 was in the second hour too. Seems like someone is copy & pasting and forgot which geek he sent it to.

  3. Graham says:

    Either the bachelor is… or e is… :P

  4. I still feel my paladin senses tingling when you do these things. But then its still funny and informative.

    Sorry for all you paladins out there, but this is all for the Greater Good.

    *hears echoes… “The Greater Good…”*
