Beating em' off with sticks!

So match.com is proving to be a mix of emotions for me. It is interesting, exciting, nerving. I have decided that it should come with a warning: may cause anxiousness, obsessive compulsive disorder, rejection, confusion, excitement and will do wonders for your self esteem and may deprive you of sleep.

I find myself coming home each night anxiously checking my email and scanning my profile views and winks. I wonder if he is out there, the man of my dreams. I love the fact that when I read a profile, under their screenname where it reveals their age, it states "man." He is a 27 year old MAN, not a boy, a MAN.

I anxiously await emails from the cute doctor, or dream of corresponding with the lawyer/real estate developer. I mean c'mon, he's a lawyer, he doesn't need to be a slash anything, especially when he is already tall/handsome/motorcyclist!

I am getting a lot of emails from a lot of really great men, or paper gangsta's as I like to call them. They look great on paper but I suppose interaction is really the only way to determine if they are a good person or if there is a connection or not. I have narrowed my search down to two prospects; a med student doing his residency at the Akron Hospital and then an Interventionalist, also living in Akron (I'm starting to feel as if I chose the wrong city to live and mingle in here). Despite their obviously successful professions, they are attractive and I am attracted to them which I believe is the first step in a love connection. First impressions are everything. Both want to meet up next week, so I suppose time will tell. Unfortunately we are having a big family camping trip coming up next weekend for the fourth of July holiday and I am going to be gone Friday through Sunday. I suppose however, that if it's meant to be it will be.

I went to a hot yoga class again today. I tried to make it to the 6am class, but who am I kidding, I cannot wake up that early! So I went to the nine o'clock class instead and I didn't realize how many pores cover one's body that can excrete sweat. It was 100 degrees in the room, coupled with the 90 degree air outside and it was one of the hardest yoga classes I have ever experienced! I'm trying to workout everyday until next weekend so that I can feel comfortable in a bathing suit! I have been eating unbelievably healthy, I work on my feet for at least six hours a day and still it is proving to not help change my body at all. The only thing I do not do consistently is work out. So I am going to work out everyday, given one day off I suppose, and I am going to switch my typical beer drinking over to vodka and sugar free red bull and limit my intake on the weekends.

So a little bit of an update here. [Fighter] came over on Sunday and we went and had some amazing sushi at this restaurant called Shinto. Sushi rock has nothing on Shinto in my opinion! So we had a little bit of a discussion about where we are. Consensus shows that we are in that awkward dating stage where it is time to either get real or get lost. Apparently he wants me to come out to his hometown, meet his mom, and attend a couple's game night (pretty big scary step for me!) Nonetheless I'm not holding my breath until it actually happens. He said he is going to try and up his efforts a little bit (but I have heard this now twice before), and if I still realize that this isn't the right relationship for me than it would definitely be his loss (well I'm not sure about that one at this point). So I guess we'll just see where it goes from here.

Well I need to call me new agent about my book and then deal with a bunch of insurance issues and then take a cold cold cold shower!
