Bike racers, Marshalls, and Cops. Oh My!

Oh my gosh. So. Eharmony is kind of awesome. It’s just really fun to meet people; to talk to people who I never would have otherwise. Like, with Lance Armstrong. I don’t know if I would have talked to him if it hadn’t been for this website. And now, I really look forward to talking to him, because he’s so clever and witty. I appreciate people with a sense of humor that keeps me on my toes and makes me think. Lance Armstrong called me during the week and we talked for a while. Then he called me yesterday and we had a conversation for about an hour or so. Today he texted me during the USC game (he was watching the Nebraska game at the same time). He was actually out at a bar texting me during the game, which is cute. Then he called me after and we spoke for about 40 minutes. He’s really fun to talk to. He hasn’t brought up meeting yet. But, I think he’s kind of shy and stuff. I like this whole “taking it slow” thing. And, I like talking to him so much, that I’m good putting off meeting him, in case we don’t hit it off in person. I’d hate to lose this dude I like talking to because I’m superficial. But, hopefully we meet soon. I think it’d be really fun to hang out with him. Tomorrow he’s going on a 50 mile bike ride. For fun. 50 miles. Fun. Um…yeah. I told him he makes me feel lazy. I don’t know if he was hinting around to see if I’m busy tomorrow, cause he brought up my plans a couple times. I told him I’m studying all day and then having family dinner at It Couple’s house. She’s making meat loaf. I will not miss meat loaf night. Not even for a date! I have priorities people! Meat in loaf form comes high on list of said priorities. Plus, I already have a date tomorrow.

So, today I got a call from Air Marshall. He was on a lay-over in Seattle. Well, not a lay-over, but a turn-around. I guess he took one flight up to Seattle and then waited for a couple hours for a different flight back down to LA. (What a cool job he has!) So he called me in between flights. We made about a minute and half of small talk before he asked when I wanted to hang out. I said any day but Monday works for me, since I am at school til 9:30m on Mondays. He then said “Ok, then how about Monday we grab dinner or lunch?” Um… I told him (again) that Monday was the one day that didn’t work but that I was free for lunch tomorrow. He was excited for that, and said he’d call me tomorrow around 11am to plan where we’d go. I said that sounded great. He asked if his number showed up on caller id for me to have. I said it did. (It’s funny how sometimes you can just tell that a guy was in the military. He’s very matter-of-fact and take charge. I like that. I then told him to have a good flight home. He said “you too”. And then he laughed and mumbled something kind of embarrassed. And I said “If I happen to find myself on a flight tonight, I will indeed have a good one!” He laughed. It was cute that he was more nervous than I was! He’s kind of adorably sweet. I’m really excited for lunch tomorrow. I need to start deciding what it is that one wears to a lunch date on a Sunday with a military man who is now a Federal Air Marshall. I also wonder if he carries a gun off duty, like a cop does? I think that’s why I like cops- there’s something about a guy having a gun on him at all times that is pretty cool. (Should I clarify that and say that the guy is lawfully carrying a gun on him? I am not so into gangsters.) Well, either way, tomorrow should be interesting. And, if he’s not so great in real life, I have plans in the afternoon which provide a lovely “out.” And if he’s awesome, maybe I’ll invite him over for meat loaf.

I have another date later in the week. The really, really cute curly haired guy emailed me this morning (well, 1:37am- did he drunk email me? Did I get drunk eharmonied??). He apologized for not writing me in the past week, and said that he had family and out-of-town guests staying with him. I’m assuming that’s code for dates with other girls, but to each their own. He said that he was leaving for Cincinnati for a few days, but that he’d like to meet up when he gets back in town. If I felt comfortable with that. Um, have you seen how cute you are and your adorable curly hair? Yeah, I feel comfortable! He’s also so close to his family, which is a few points on the positive side. I’m excited to meet him. I don’t know why he wants to meet me though. I’m such a nerd! In his email to me, he asked if I wanted to meet “for a quick dinner” and I responded by saying “I’d love to meet for a quick dinner. Were you thinking quick like McDonalds or like a hot dog eating contest with Kobayashi (yes, I know Mark Chestnutt is the champ now, but he doesn’t quite have the name recognition). I’m down for either.” Um…wow… Why do I write things without thinking? Is it possible to have diarrhea of the keyboard? Maybe I should write things, walk away for 2 hours, and then hit send. Or delete. But, this guy seems to find me funny, so why edit myself now, I guess. He’d find out how nerdy I am sooner or later. Might as well be sooner. I’m hoping he still wants to hang out after that email. We’ll see.

I’ve been talking to this cute cop from La Palma. I have no idea where that is. And, I think I’m a LAPD snob. It’s like “Oh, you’re not LAPD? Can you really even call yourself a cop then?” Ok, not really. I think being a peace officer s a noble and intense job no matter where you are. There’s another cop I’m talking to who lives in Chino. I don’t know which department he’s with. I just know that he may be the hottest cop I’ve ever seen in my life. His name is Hot Cop. If there were a Skin-amax movie made whose plot involved a cop, the part would be based on Hot Cop. I’m hoping to meet both of the cops in the near future. Maybe one of them will take me to a shooting range. The Cop (the original cop I hung out with over the summer) was supposed to take me, but we never went. I was really hoping we would, but that didn’t pan out. The Detective and I were talking about going, but I haven’t seen her in a long time. She said she would take me when The Cop and I stopped talking. I think she just wanted me to stop whining about him. I whined about him a bit. Not nearly as much as I whined about ATC, but I whined nonetheless. But, maybe one of these new cops will be cool and take me!

Hope to have some big stories for ye ol’ blog this week!
