Posted by beth on July 13, 2010

Look, y’all. When I allowed anonymous questions on the formspring page, this was really not what I had in mind.

Ok. I am 100% sure [...]

Posted by beth on June 14, 2010

Y’all know I’ll do pretty much anything if it’s free and doesn’t violate any laws or personal morals. I will especially join a dating site if it’s free just because it’s so dang entertaining. But this Zoosk thing – I just can’t bring myself to do it for at least two reasons.
First, there’s the name. [...]

Posted by beth on May 17, 2010

Today’s formspring question isn’t so much a question as it is a request, and a rather vague one at that, but here goes:
More on Jews, Please. Thank Jew.
Friends, I’m not really sure how to respond to this, but I suppose I have several options.

I could start an ongoing Jew segment, giving you the history, culture [...]

Posted by beth on May 3, 2010

I did it.
I went to the Verizon store yesterday after church and told them I wanted to downgrade. They turned off my PunkBerry and gave me a very normal, very unsmart Samsung “Intensity.” I’m not exactly sure what’s so intense about it. So far, here’s what I don’t like:

It doesn’t automatically capitalize the first letter [...]

Posted by beth on March 18, 2010

I think it has been well established that I like to write. And on that note, a sidenote: I’m about to hit 1,000 blog posts, and I’m trying to think of something exciting to do for it. Any suggestions? End of sidenote.
So I’ve been writing freelance for the past couple of years for various websites [...]

Posted by beth on February 23, 2010

I know many of you are just squirming in your office chairs waiting for me to post pictures and VIDEO!!!! from this weekend’s Powerboat Show and Sale. I can’t post them yet, though, for two reasons:

I’m waiting for SOMEBODY to scan and email me The Picture because the one I have is not good. It [...]

Posted by beth on February 12, 2010

So I tweeted the other day:
Dear Single Christian Men in Asheville, Do y’all know people? ‘Cause none of them seem to know any of you?
And I received an email yesterday containing the following:

Thanks, faithful reader, for this reminder that they are out there…even though the fact that he’s on an online dating site would indicate [...]

On account of it’s her birthday today, and in honor of that fact, I’d like to share with you all this email that my friend Amaris received long, long ago on this dating site that I think her mom signed her up for. Not sure about all the details there, but maybe one of them [...]

Posted by beth on November 17, 2009

Y’all. I am going to be headed home in like three weeks. That is crazy. Carla and I were just talking this morning about it. I’ll be in London in a week and a half for Thanksgiving, and then a week and a half after I get back, I’ll be on a plane. INSANE!! I [...]

Posted by beth on September 8, 2009

Confession: I’ve been on at least five different dating websites since I moved to Raleigh. I only do them when they’re free, though, because I am both cheap and extremely skeptical that I will find anyone decent on them. And as we all know, this skepticism is not unfounded, and really, why would I want [...]
