The Initiating Response #1

Alright... This will be my third blog. My previous blogs centered around my [failed] career exploits (AnUnsungZero) or my interest in film (TheFlickAddict), but I had trouble really keeping them up because of a high dependency on content creation. In essence, I got lazy. This is no one's fault... Okay, it was my fault, but I think if I set my sights a little lower this time and make my contributions small yet steady, things should go unhaltingly smooth this time. Unhaltingly is not a word, apparently, but let's just pretend that it is.

Getting right to it, as some background for this blog, I've frequented the site known as OkCupid for about a year now. Thus far, I am unimpressed with how the site handles online dating. Interactions feel forced. The first email is perhaps the hardest part of this whole process because it asks that you create something out of nothing.

After a while, I started to realize that most the emails I sent were funny in my eyes, but probably not to total strangers--especially girls. I imagine they come off as borderline creepy or just plain weird. I have since altered my writing in these so-called "initiating responses" in order to get more responses. However, I'm going to take the liberty of sharing with you, the viewers, the many creepy/weird/funny responses that I've sent. Try not to take offense to anything that is said. It's all in good fun and no one was raped or killed. :)

So, without further ado, here's my first entry for the Initiating Response:

Jurassic Park kicks all kinds of ass. I quote Ian Malcolm all the time... ya know, when it's appropriate and applicable to the current situation. I'm clever like that... I think.

I'm Jamie! I'm sorta new to Portland, so as a native you are obligated to show me around and teach me how to make maze. Then I'll kill all your people, mate with all your women and destroy your villages. :)

Well, that was it. Stay tuned for my next update where I'll share with you another Initiating Response.
