The "24 hours in Charlotte" trip was interesting. The drive of 6.5 hours EACH WAY kinda sucked but it was worth it. Got to meet a longtime SG friend and swap interesting stories and random knowledge such as:
- Jerome the Gnome
- Difference between a nerd, a geek, and a dork and where we fall on the spectrum
- How does frequency response of titanium differ from that of the cochlea? (right part?)
- What it was like growing up in San Diego (not me, I grew up in Bodymore, Murderland)
- Dinos that chomp down when you squeeze their wiener
- WTF is livermash?
Overall a good trip.
So anyway... after being hit on by a WT woman
in the dingy supermarket down the street , I have decided that it really is about time for me to try and meet someone down here. First stop, Craigslist. This could be scary. I may need madscience's help on this. She is the craigslist dating vet. Since my first option fell through recently, this is option 2.

First word of advice, don't do craigslist first if you've never done a dating website. There's a scary factor there you don't find in some of the other websites. Any of the paid websites are generally okay except eHarmony. eHarmony SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS. OkCupid is free, and a lot of people like it. I personally like the crowd on Nerve.com, but it's a paid site. But it tends to attract a more alternative-type crowd. Yahoo personals, match.com, etc. are fine (paid) - they tend to attract a wider range of folks. You might also want to join us over at the Online Dating group for more advice . . . Good luck!
