A formerly anon blogger, trying to make it honest
Debate:
How can Congress really be forced to vote on the issue of gay marriage? Shouldn’t the very institution of marriage be sacred – even if it’s not in a church? I feel that years from now, people will look at this much the same way as people look at the banning of interracial marriages. They will be shocked and ashamed of it and wonder why, with so much ugliness in the world, that people chose to argue about another human being’s right to happiness. Really, aren’t there more pressing matters for Congress to be addressing – say perhaps Haditha, or the status and unstable nature of Iraq in general? Where are our MORALS there?!?

We’ve all said it before, but I’ll say it again…the DC dating scene blows. I have tons of gorgeous, skinny, smart, laidback and cool girl friends that are single, and people ask why. Why? The guys in DC (with exceptions) are all some balding beta males who believe that they all deserve to date 10′s…but even worse are the girls (with exceptions) that are all pushy bitches who think that they are hot shit and deserve perfect rich men. Then these girls are bitchy to the beta males, and therefore, nobody gets laid.
I got news for you ladies though…unless you are of the 10% of the population on the Maxim Hot 100 list, then get it together because you are likely whiny, needy, insecure, unintelligent, and worst of all…average looking. What makes everyone around here think that they deserve Brad Pitt or Eva Longoria? Because you work for a Congressman, making copies and running reports? Oh, it’s because you work for a lobbyist and push around those people who make copies and run reports. Or maybe you’re the lawyer who ties them all together.
All in all, DC has a few select people who deserve to be at the top of the dating food chain, but for the rest of the city…come on. Give it up. Come down from the power trip and knock the supermodel/Prince Charming off the pedestal and join the rest of the world in reality, because DC is no LA. This is West Wing, not Melrose Place.

People, is this really fashion? Would you spend money on it? *shudder* It’s from Nordstrom’s for the love of God…

I went to the gym tonight and it was a very sad state of affairs. However, I feel a little better knowing I at least pretended to do something. Hopefully I’ll get back in a routine again and get it together for real. Speaking of working out, my roomie ran a 10K this weekend! YAAAY roomie!!!!
She even kicked her boyfriend’s ass (shhh don’t tell). Hehe.
Debate:
My trip to the lawyer leaves me with a bill for $900. Hmm…charge $900 and pay it off, or risk getting my license revoked or going to jail? I’ll take increase in debt for $900, Alex. Is getting a lawyer worth it in my case? I think so…
Discuss:
Why is it that the days you have “off” from work are usually the busiest? I wasn’t feeling well this morning, so I took the day off since I had to leave early anyway to go to the lawyer’s office. Well, damn if I didn’t work my ass off anyway!
Debate:
Other than the obvious point that I would get to mold young minds…damn why didn’t I become a teacher? This working 8-10 hour days (or more) is shit man. Summers off is the way to go. Or either that become an executive so high up that nobody gives two shits if you spend all your time golfing and away on “business” and out to 3 hour lunches. How come more people don’t choose to become teachers, other than the obvious (and unfortunate) pay disparity?
Discuss:
Does anyone have any good tips for moving? I think I’m pretty good at it, being a military brat and all. I can pack and unpack like a pro, but hey…even pros miss things.

Dam PMSing????????????????????????
This post is smoking hot…………..Jeez!!!
Yeah..DC women are stuck up…all of them…..But i’m used to it now…Its sort of like lion taming….
Congress talk about relevant topics that are actually important…Hahahahahhahaahha…But the rethuglicans think they can bait and switch people….Their gonna have to answer haditha questions and everything else….I don’t know of any gays that killed an entire village.
This is a lot of good stuff. Can we break it up into days this week? Let’s rant on the dating scene! HATEITHATEITHATEIT And I’m a “professional.” Well, not that kind of professional.
You hit the DC dating nail on the head, though NYC is definitely worse when it comes to silly boys with ridiculous expectations and egos.
But more importantly, that “sweater” is atrocious.
Issue 1) We’re calling it “Hate Week on the Hill” here in my office. I think that’s a little extreme, but whatever. The GOP is only going to manage to rejuvenate their base while alienating the moderates with this issue. Remember how hard they campaigned on this in 04? And has anything come of it? Will anything come of it this week? (no) Does their base even believe them anymore? Probably not.
Make lots of little trips before you move the big stuff, spread it out over a week, then move all the big stuff on a Sat. as early in the morning as possible so as to avoid the scorching heat of the sun in between air conditioned locales and Sunday morning church traffic and drivers.
Issue 2) I agree. It’s all the fault of the women.
Issue 3) It reminds me of my quilt.
Issue 4) Take yoga or get into karate of some kind. How many times do I have to say it? It will change your body.
Issue 5) Go to jail. How long would you be in for a speeding ticket? A day? And then they’d knock it down to three weeks of agressive driver rehab because there’s no room in jails for people like you. Plus, you’d get a vacation.
Issue 6) I don’t know.
Issue 7) Because it’s boring and because you have to deal with more difficult people daily in teaching than I’m sure you see now. Unless you’re a kindergarten teacher. My cousin is a teacher and it sounds really boring and unchallenging to me…she learns a subject and teaches it over and over and over every single day for a year. Boooring!

Excellent post.
And not one mention of LC or whatever.
Great post. I think the DC dating scene sucks, too, and it is because of the guys and girls, not just one or the other.
EGO!
Anon – Yes, it’s both that cause the problem.
MKD – That was just for you baby.
Twoste – Yeah, I have been told to do Pilates, but I want to do cardio some before I tone, gotta lose the fat before you tone!
Also, we do plan on moving smaller stuff over the 3 days before we get the truck – luckily it’s only a few miles away so we can make multiple “quick” trips – even though I’m sure it will suck anyway.
And, Hate Week on the Hill…love it. And, oh, I know you’re right – nobody will care in a few weeks par usual.
PaigeJennifer – NYC and DC are the same city for the most part – some things about each are better than the other, but a lot the same…
Velvet – You are the professional. Hah!
O-Face – Haha gays that killed an entire village hahaha.
Wow, you are thinking about a lot today! I haven’t figured out what I’m going to post yet about the bs Congressional amendment debate, but something is brewing. Dating sucks, but I wouldn’t really know cuz I don’t do it! Good luck with the move!
I’m with you on gay marriage. Let people do what they want to do and deal with issues that really matter, I say.
I think my head just exploded.
I agree x 10.
No one has addressed the teacher issue, and I am one (high school and college) – allow me.
PLEASE don’t go thinking that being a teacher is all wine and roses with summers off for big fun. Yes, summers off is a nice perk, but just you try dealing with a school full of teenagers for 10 1/2 months of the year.
Between the:
school bureaucracy (excuse me – TWELVE different grade spreadsheets!!!)
ridiculous demands of principals and parents (especially parents – it’s never their kid’s fault)
state and federal standards (that are leaving the BEST students behind)
AND the students themselves (difficult, stubborn, apathetic, lazy, and COMPLETELY self-absorbed);
teaching is one of the most difficult jobs out there that gets little of the respect it deserves – and certainly none of the loot.
Enough to dissuade you?
I’m curious as to why you threw “skinny” in their as a descriptor. Does being skinny make you even more deserving of a boyfriend?
I can’t wait to have summers off! (in school for education)…I am also hoping for some magical pay increase though.
You just blog bombed us!
Jesus. H. Christ I totally agree… I spent a few hours at a party recently talking to this guy – good conversation, well-mannered, even cute, then he breaks into the “oh-how-i-love-dc-because-its-such-a-wonderful-place-for-a-single-straight-guy-because-all-the-girls-want-you-so-I-can-pretty-much-take-my-pic” crap.
That’s two hours of my life I can’t get back…what a waste! Whats up with that?
