messages i'm deleting
so you can only have, something like, 300 messages in your okc inbox (without paying a fee...lame.). i've been saving all my messages because they're fodder for this blog, but today i'm purging. had to document them before i hit the delete button though. guess i'm a bit sentimental. okay, here we go:
1. hey how's it going?
2. So if you had to choose between wearing a matted teal green crocheted poncho for the rest of your life, or only eating maraschino cherries, which would you choose?
3. I kept trying to think of a good way to write a first message to you, but gave up and decided to just write you anyhow.
4. Hi there,I just wanted to say hey, I think you sound like a lot of fun. You work in Architectural lighting sales? Where do you work? I work at AdLight and Sign, amongst lots of custom signs we also fabricate custom lighting. Hmmm, maybe we have more in common than you'd think.
5. Well, OKC wanted me to send someone a message and your profile popped out at me. :) Maybe we can chat sometime if you are interested. I look forward to hearing from you. And as always, don't forget your towel. :)
6. Hey how's it going? I'm Matt.
7. like your red dress! (ed note: i'm not wearing a red dress in any of my profile pictures...)
8. name a good song. GO!
9. i have a goofy question for you
10. If you were a banana for a day what would you do?
the last two were from different guys, they just happened to line up that way. kind of perfect.

Highlights of the Week
The third into the fourth of July, which thanks to a box of wine and a vodka-spiked slurpee - somehow feels like the same day. Suzy and I went down to Independence Eve last Tuesday night with our bike baskets packed of Snarf's, a blanket, a box of wine and a camera. Bailey and Graham (the cutest couple ever) joined us as we watched the Colorado Symphony play a dozen or so songs before the fireworks over the City and County Building. I love fireworks. Seriously. I'm the girl cooing over the private fireworks show that is inevitable on every season of the Bachelor. Post fireworks, we headed to the Irish Snug, shut it down, and started all over again the next day with said vodka-spiked slurpees at Wash Park and a grill in my courtyard that night. SS and I are real good at celebrating birthdays and America's was no different.
Boy date:
12 made me dinner Saturday night. Thanks to the downpour of the weekend, our grill out turned in to a grill in. I don't know if it was the rain. The food. The wine. The fact that it was our first night 'in'. The dogs. Or him. But it's one of those nights I hope to relive again soon.

He kinda nailed it.
Got this message this morning.
And yea, I guess I am that kind of party. Happy Friday!
"You look like a party waiting to happen. And I don't mean the kind of party where you drink too much and regret the decisions you made the next morning. I mean the kind of party where you wake up the next morning and keep the party going with brunch and mimosas then for a walk on South Broadway window shopping then maybe late afternoon margaritas and chips and salsa. That's the kind of party you look like. And that sounds fun."

IRL --> OKC --> IRL
The very first guy I met in Denver was when Kid Sister was visiting last Memorial Day. We were at Beauty Bar, his name was Nick. A musician, we seemed to have a ton in common and had great times the few times we did hang out. Which, if I recall correctly, was only twice. I couldn't ever even tell you what happened there - I just know that shortly after I met Nick, I was in Aspen - met Anton and then that somehow snowballed in to me entering the world of online dating.
So what are the odds, that 10 months later when I joined OKC, Nick popped up as one of my matches. I immediately sent him a "fancy seeing you here!" message and we started exchanging messages. As our Twitter friendship blossomed, we made plans to grab a drink once he was done with audition season.
Nick and I went out Saturday evening, 13 months after we'd met in real life, we were reconnected - thanks to the world of online dating.
And that's exactly what we discussed. Poor Nick, as we sat with vodka tonics - he heard probably more than he ever would have wanted. I took him through the entire Noah saga to the current state of the state. We discussed how a majority of our experiences through OKC have been mediocre at best, perhaps making the site's name even more appropriate. But even more importantly - we laughed. And it was so refreshing to be out with someone where there wasn't any pressure to make a killer first impression (pretty sure I already attempted that back in May 2011, drunk outside of Beauty Bar). And to hear that guys are going through the same things that Suzy and I write about here - made me realize that maybe we're not all so different after all.
So, OKC, even if this whole process turns out to be just 'OK' - at least you were able to reconnect me with someone who I think might just turn out to be a really, really good friend. Or at least one that will challenge me to a gin drink off.
