I went on a date tonight. The guy was okay. I think he has Asperger's. That seems to be the syndrome du jour these days. The date was a little bland, but I have had worse. We went to Outback. I was curious as to what sort of tip he was going to leave as I think that is a reasonable predictator of a guy. The service was good and our food came as ordered. He left a $5.00 tip. I was embarrassed. We sat at the table for a while after finishing. I slipped a $10 bill under my coffee cup when my date wasn't looking. I didn't want to embarrass him, but I certainly couldn't leave without giving our cute waiter something additional. I won't be going back out with this guy for numerous reasons, but that is at the top of the list. On the plus side, three cute guys who worked there flirted with me every chance they got.

I ended my evening on a "high" note...I watched the horrible and poorly-acted movie Survival Island. It is not even worth searching on Amazon to read about. Smug warned me it was bad, but I had to torture myself to be sure. Billy Zane is in it and well, he is a hawt bad boy, but even he couldn't redeem the movie. Poor guy is going bald and he has these two strange weirdly-placed tufts of hair on the top of his head. I just wanted to grab a razor and shave him completely.

As a woman, I occasionally have to strap on an invisible dildo to be taken seriously in man-run businesses. Case in point with a client I fired late last year. They drove me crazy, but I tolerated the behavior. The owner pushed my button one day and I fired him. I had enough of the not-so-veiled implications that a man could do the accounting better than I could. "Great, get the guy to finish the project because I am done." Well, client emailed begging me to come back. My response was to raise my rate and state that at the first sign of disrespect I was outta there for good this time. When I go to this client, I mentally strap on a dildo. I know that sounds crazy, but hell it is working! The client actually thanked me for helping out today. I state without hesitation what I want, when I want it and I get it. The men that run the business are definitely more respectful towards me.

Yep...Wrestler Dude took me out to dinner. We had a great time! Wrestler Dude is smart, funny, sweet, charming and a gentleman through and through. It was one of the better dates I have had in, well lets face it, forever! Wrestler Dude is quite smitten with SassyAssy....and I am liking his style...time will tell as my friend Brent says.

Internet dating is an interesting concept. You get to meet a wider pool of people than if you confine yourself to the local pub/library/bookstore. You also meet a wider variety of people from all walks of life.

This fall I met a C-List actor. We haven't worked out the logistics of meeting yet since he is currently in California making his appearances in a variety of movies, tv series and even some commercials (and yes, I have checked him out thoroughly and he is the real deal).

This week I met a famous wrestler (who shall remain nameless at this point). Wrestler Dude is smitten with my funky hair and that is what prompted him to contact me. I chatted for a bit, but then I tried to kibosh him by stating emphatically that I was not a "wrasslin" fan and I was quite sure that he had plenty of women throwing both themselves and their panties at him and I would not be one of them. He thinks I give good snark and grew even more smitten.

This morning he called me because he was thinking of me and he has bought me a gift for me while I was on the phone with him. He saw something with purple dragonflies and he thought of me. He said some VIP passes are mine for the asking. I just have to pretend I like "wrasslin" when I am with him and fans approach. That is all he asks of me besides my charming company. I am bemused that this gentleman (and he is indeed one) is so interested in me. Perhaps it brings it out the protective streak in him...he is 6'5". He is originally from NYC and on the surface we have much in common (wrestling aside that is).

I have also befriended some published authors at the tail end of 2008. I am orbiting with some stars right now...very interesting start to my 2009!
