      I have had success in both areas but I think that its easier to meet someone online than in the club/bar scene. Neither medium is better than the other, although I would advise strongly against dating someone that frequents the bar you go to on a regular basis.

      Well there I guess you have my answer... online is about checks and balances to an extent but NOTHING is final until you meet someone in person and in a bar is not necessarily the place where much happens beyond hookups and finding random punk rockers to play Sid & Nancy with...

      Unless of course it's New Years Eve maybe.

      *whistles innocently*
      Oh look a cloud!

      There most always is.. and most always isn't.

      Let's put it this way: I've learned the [sometimes] hard way that there are moments that are made to be legendary.

      I live everyday to its fullest.
      I value every relationship I have... weather it is romantic, friend, family, business, or acquaintance. These someones are all important to me because I learn something from the experiences with them- whether they are positive, negative or neutral.

      Bottom line: if I care about someone they will know it. But I don't need a significant other to make my days go by splendidly. They will do that on their own regardless.

      GDC 2006. Stranded in SF. While this would not have been a bad thing due to my love for the fog city, let's just say the rest of the details in the story made for... something that will likely be in one of the books I'm currently writing.

      Those super close to me may know the story. Others will have to wait.

      Ok, so there's a story connected with this question. We can call it "Nice Shoes Wanna..."

      I met someone randomly while I was out one evening one winter, so this is part of an inside joke that a select few people know about, however not blogged about previously.

      Meeting people while I'm out and about is not completely uncommon for me, but in this particular situation it was a bit of a rarity. I never approach or date, etc any guy I'd meet in a bar.

      Oh god.

      We ended up hanging out. He invited me to travel out of state with him (the first night I met him). He insisted we have sex.

      I said this was not going to happen. That's not my style.

      Additionally style wise, I noticed too late that he was wearing Ed Hardy shoes and a belt. Had I seen those when I'd met him it would have been an automatic dis-qualifier.

      While I knew it wouldn't be happily ever after with said guy, the night wasn't terrible. I just was never going to sleep with him.

      He texted me the next day friend-like. It was sounding semi sane of him. (Also uncommon for men I've gone out with after we go out. But that's another story.)

      He asked me if I'd be interested in hanging out and watching a movie. I am always open to new friendships of diverse walks of life. We might not have everything in common but that's not always a bad thing.

      I told him that as long as he understood there were ground rules- mainly reiterating that we were not going to have sex- that I could do that.

      His response?
      "Would you meet me halfway and give me head?"

      Seriously?
      Yes, he seriously asked me this.

      Summation: Yeah... um... wow. Gotta love dating in Los Angeles right? The worst part? I was sober when I picked this guy out. Good going me! /doh

      I'm a sucker for anything John Cusack. He was my first celebrity guy crush. (My first celebrity crush was not a male.)

      Someone told me that the guy I most recently dated looked like a young Cusack. It made me smile so much... just as he did by his mere existence in my life.

      On a completely other tangent, but still in the Cusack vein:
      I nearly named my daughter Ione because I loved Ione Skye's character in that movie (Say Anything) and am a fan of the band with the same name.

      My life seems to be full of many of these movie like happenstances. There is always a tune in the background... whether its a set of keys jingling or a train or your "normal" selection of notes strung together to craft
      something...
      anything...
      hopefully worthwhile.

      But then again it's life so even the bad is worth it as long as you learn from it.

      So yeah... anything.
