Now look who's sorry!

[Melonpool]

It's now been Glych's and my 6th consecutive all-night conversation. Very interesting for someone like me who hates to talk on the phone. I apologize for the lack of updates on this site and the less-than-great artwork on http://www.melonpool.com. but we're both kinda tired.

I think we may both be deeply in "like"....

What a great world we live in!

I'm enjoying our conversations as much if not more than you, you know- can't wait to see you on tuesday, and I beleive the word "smitten" was used in e-mails...

A 'spacer and a 'spotter?

Perhaps I should just start looking at the stars from a balcony and let you listen to me talk to myself.

I'm jealous cause I'm not included. >:(

[Glych]

Do you feel lonely?

Do you like comics?

Do you have an unhealthy obsession with either TV shows, Puppets, Muppets, or Movies?

Well look no further! The bachelors and bachelorettes on the 4TT dating game just might be pewrfect for you! Filming this year at Comic Con 2002...

Be there!

[Melonpool]

Well, as it turns out, half our regular puppeteers are currently single (but not me as of last week's whirlwind romance).

That's right, as it turns out that whole comic-book-puppet thing was all just a front for an elaborate dating service!

Lonely ladies, check out our booth at the con!



Steve

[Shleb]

But what about us single girls working the booth at con???? What about boys coming to us?

Always
Shel

[Glych]

I seem to remember a Jolea stand up at con last year stating you had to be a certain height to "ride this ride"...

Shelby, I don't think you'll have a problem...'cides, I've seen pics of Erik (Ralph puppeteer) he's cute!

Welcome to the club!

HI CHRIS!

I knew it, I knew it! This was all just some big conspiracy to make me feel depressed so I would give in to my ex-wife's pleas to take her back. They even told me about it in the Illuminatus Trilogy, but I didn't break the code in time!

*Siece sobs.*

Curse this metal body..I wasn't fast enough.

*Siece sulks in a corner.*

Buck up. Shel's still available.

In all honesty, things will come around for you. My dating history's pretty screwy, too. If I can find someone I have so much in common with and is on the same page as me, then anyone can.

In all honesty, things will come around for you. My dating history's pretty screwy, too. If I can find someone I have so much in common with and is on the same page as me, then anyone can.

But it's all ready too late!

I suppose I'd better explain that...I live in Death Valley, so there's not much in the way of a dating pool. If you have any standards at all, 'not much' quickly shrinks to 'none at all.' Because I'm stuck here for at least another year, I turned to the internet in hopes of meeting the girl of my dreams.

As you probably know, there are millions of websites out there dedicated to helping people find dates/SOs/wives/husbands or whatever your personal preference happens to be. The problem is, no matter what they say about themselves in their personal profiles, girls who use personals sites[1] invariably fall into one of two categories. Either they're complete psychopaths, as seen in Torg's Blind Date[2] or the net-dating horror story of your choice, or else they end up being some spineless little milksop that you wouldn't want to date anyway.

Because of this, I pretty much stopped going to personals sites, and instead became more active on message boards at sites I regularly visit, in hopes that sharing a common interest would help me find a girl who is a)available, b)is reasonably sane, or at least not insane in a bad way, c)wants to date me, and d)is not completely spineless.

The sites I visit attract a wide variety of people, however, so there's always only one or two girls who are my type on any given board. I met a couple of nice girls this way, but things didn't work out. Usually, the sort of girl I want to date either comes with an SO already attached, or, because I take the time to try and build friendship so we can have a real relationship, some other guy who does things faster comes along and steals her away just when it looks like I might be making progress. *Siece gives Melonpool a dark look.*

Next, I decided that my problem was that I was working from too small of a pool. So, I worked out a list of all the traits I wanted in a potential mate, and ran the list through google, hoping to find a site devoted exclusively to the kind of girl I like. This search led me to the home page of Heartless Bitches International.

My computer has a sense of humour, so at first I thought this was its idea of a joke, like the time KFortune decided to start spitting out quotes from Miss Manners' Guide to Dating, but, after poking around on the site for a bit, I realized that it wasn't a joke. This was the site I had been looking for. I really do want to find and one day marry a heartless bitch.

At this time, one of the little voices in my head began asking me what I was doing looking all over the world for a heartless bitch, when my ex-wife is right here, and was actively trying to get back together with me. Just the other day, the matter was more or less decided when she offered to teach me physics, a subject for which the local college offers no real classes. How could I possibly resist that?

Yes, it true. She blinded me with Science. Unless some other girl comes along and steals me away, I'm probably going to end up remarrying my ex sometime in the next couple weeks, so it's too late for me to look elsewhere.

If only I had broken the code earlier, I would have uncovered your nefarious plot in time, I would not have become depressed because everyone else seems to be finding True Love when I'm not, and I would have possibly been able to escape from my ex-wife's Evil Clutches.

[1]at least, all the ones I encountered were

[2]Ask me sometime about whether the term 'psychopah' applies better to Torg or his date.

Anyone that knows me will tell you there's nothing farther than the truth. My ex-wife and I knew each other for 6 years before I ever got up the nerve to tell her how I felt. And it got me divorced in 18 months. There was a time when I thought I'd go back to her if she looked at me cross-eyed, but I've grown a lot recently.

Getting together with someone just because you're lonely is the worst reason to have a relationship. I will never go down that road again. I don't want to sound too cocky or anything, but the connection that Glych and I have made is unlike anything either one of us has experienced before. To coin a phrase: She makes me feel like my heart just woke up.

I wish you the best, and hope that you learn from your mistakes. I tried the match.coms and whatnot too, and no one wanted me either. It's when I stopped looking that something happened.

So, stop looking.

Steve

[Glych]

Oh, Seice- from what you told me, she is a heartless bitch- all the more reason NOT to go back to her.

I know you're lonely, and i know that you probably still have feelings for her, but that's no excuse to put both you and your child through the torture of a stressful and violent relationship...Maybe after her anger management, but somehow i doubt she has taken any steps towards that kind of recovery.

All I can say is that there are other fish in th sea and it is true about Steve and mine's relationship: We weren't looking for it, it just kind of happened.

It's like your when you loose your keys; it's always the last place you look
