24 Hours and Counting

I've officially been listed on OKC for 24 hours.  I feel like I earned a merit badge.  Potentially a demerit badge depending on how this goes.  I always forget how exciting this is.  Honestly, it's kind of like having 50 random strangers come up and tell you you're pretty.  It's never a bad thing to hear.

Nothing much as far as breaking news.  It's all introductory "hi, where are you from" stuff.  Scamming through a million pictures and profiles, guessing at who could hold a cocktail and a conversation.  I'm emailing with 4 guys as of yesterday.  Three seem vaguely normal; I'm pretty sure the 4th won't make the cut - he's not the brightest crayon in the box.  I've learned to steer clear of the perennial bouncer from my last run at this.  But, you never know.  And like I said before, if you're not going to wear my skin, I'll try it.

I'm also a big believer in messaging the hell out of people.  Honestly, I've probably sent about 8-10 messages in the past 24 hours.  I don't know, maybe men view that as aggressive.  All I know is that the messages I receive, 9 times out of 10, are from creeps or out of towners.  I literally had a guy from FL email me to say the following:

"You created a very enjoyable profile to read! I live far away and we most likely would never meet, but I though you should know from someone completely anonymous that you rock.  Rock on, girl...rock on."

I don't even know what to do with that.  I did an internet shrug and moved on.

The more interesting development is that OKC has decided to use me to moderate the website.  Yup, apparently someone thought that I have a great sense of propriety and decency (misread on that one), and they have now given me the power to review pictures, profiles, and messages that are deemed "inappropriate" by users.  I am not Spiderman - I do not believe that this great power comes with great responsibility.  So, I'll share a few of my favorites as this blog continues.  I didn't have much time yesterday to investigate.  But, I did come across a woman in a mesh body suit (nipples out!) posing with a dog statue.  The woman, by the way, was over 50.  Yahtzee!  I told OKC to "Leave It Alone"...I hope I'm that brazen when I'm 50.
