In an inexplicable and alarming display of masochism, I have signed myself back up for JDate.  It’s been 9 months since I was in the saddle, and I guess I don’t have enough in my life that’s causing me strife at the moment, so why not shove red-hot pokers into my love life as well?

Let me tell you—it’s already been a little slice.  So far, I’ve gotten two “ignore” system responses (because I guess my IMs of “hi” were a little too offensive for some), sent out four read-but-unanswered e-mails, got a tease from a 41-year-old woman in Baltimore (well outside my posted age range and both her and my profiles say “I will not relocate for a match") and exchanged terse e-mails with JDate Central because the search function wasn’t working for me (and they still haven’t been able to explain why or fix it).  On the upside, I did have a very nice IM chat with Annabel Lee, who confirms that the IM function is actually working for me.  But I guess being shot down numerous times is what happens when you post this as your picture.
