Survivor is a pretty good book, worth reading. Not convinced by his other stuff though.

Survivor was great, but Invisible Monsters is my favorite.
I don’t recommend starting to read Haunted while eating though. It’ll put you off of your lunch.
Bukowski’s a better read.
That might be it. Thanks Mighty.
Hey guys, found a resource some of you might find useful in your quest for love:

I actually thought that URL was going to take me to a “match the symptoms with the STD” sexual health quiz.
Meeting a woman from OKC later this evening. I’ll report later if a horror story ensues.
It feels odd to be one of those waiting in anticipation of someone else’s horror stories now.
I’m sorry I can’t contribute more horror stories. I decided a while ago to not meet women from OkCupid for anything more than friendship for now.
Though I’ve met some fascinating friends. With awesome stories.

Protip: Do not show her your magic murder bag.
I was thinking about waiting until maybe the 3rd date.
I’m afraid there are no casualties to report concerning this evenings meeting with the woman from OKC. We met at a local mall and walked in and out of stores and grabbed a bite to eat in the food court. About 2 hours later, the mall was closing so we decided to walk down to the nearby movie theater to see what was playing. Unfortunately the next show that was worth a crap wasn’t scheduled to start for another hour and a half. We were having a good time, but not really that good of a time that we wanted to wait 90 minutes to then see a movie for another 90 minutes. So instead we walked around the local park and told each other jokes for about half an hour before separating and heading to our individual cars.
I wasn’t expecting anything more than a “Hi, how are you? Tell me about yourself?” and a quick meal, but we hit it off reasonably well (We did talk for over 2 hours). She said that the mall wasn’t really her kind of place and that it probably wasn’t the best first meeting place and I agreed that I too would much prefer a less hectic and more personal setting (A woman who doesn’t love the mall? What kind of witchcraft/sorcery is this?). I chose to meet at the mall in the first place because it is big and crowded with lots of witnesses/security cameras/guards for both her safety and my own. She was quiet for the first half hour or so, but I slowly got her to come out of her shell. It was a little more nervous/awkward than I’d have liked, but overall I’d call it a success.
Fear not QT3 hive mind! The potential for horror stories is not lost for she has agreed to meet again for a second date! I know a great pizza place (best pizza I’ve had south of the Mason-Dixon line). Maybe I’ll give that a go.

Yeah, I went to the mall on the first night I met my current “dating situation,” and we actually went because neither of us like the mall and so it was something kind of unique we could do that we could agree would be an interesting 30 minutes of quickly walking around, eating a pretzel, and then going to the club.

Are you guys nuts? Don’t take your first dates to the fucking mall. Jesus.

Unless your date likes malls?
Look, where you go on a date doesn’t matter as much as how involved you are with each other. A mall date where no one talks is a failed date. A mall date where you involve your date with the sopping experience, talking about things you like, offering suggestions or something like a married couple… there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a way better idea than going to a movie.
