Stuck at Home
Online Dating... Where do I begin. I was flipping through my Instagram and came across this site for dating within a BDSM community. I was totally interested. I have never really thought of online dating before, but why not. I mean, I am stuck at home for six months. Anyhow, I click on the link and there it is, all professional looking. I made an account, the usual -- email, name, username, password. Done. NO, not done. After I made the profile, they wanted a picture, and then a little note pops up telling me it’s pending verification. Nope, not done. They want a picture of my ID so they can verify my age. Now, I’m not dumb, but I didn't cover up the address. Oh well, moving on.
No, still not done. They want a picture of me holding up a sign with their website on it along with my username, 2 pictures actually. I mean, really, a sign? What, am I supposed to get a Sharpie and write it block letters on blank printer paper? I don't know, but something in my gut started to turn and I thought, “See, this is what you get for trying online dating anything, shit, and now they have your address. Fuck.”
I know, its not the only site -- but still, what a way to start out something new. I could say its the stars telling me to just wait until after the trial, and when I’m off house arrest, but it’s so hard to sit here, going circles between the same walls. I thought online dating could lead to some interesting chatting, or something like that. I don't know. I guess this topic is to be continued.
On another note, I took a vegan challenge -- vegan food all week long, 7 days. Today is day one. It was very long, and I am very hungry.
