You kinda helped me realize my ability to indirectly piss someone off without even trying. So thank you. But try harder next time. Stay mad! ;)

Deal breakers

Although I've been out of the dating scene for a while now, I'm pretty sure that everyone - myself included - has a list of deal breakers where there is simply no room for compromise for certain issues. You know, those things you find out about someone that make you go from "damn this guy/girl is pretty dope" to "oh, what the - are you serious?". For me now, it's more applicable to new guy friends as opposed to potential suitors, but anyways here are a few of mine that I would enforce if I were single (it will be obvious that some of these are less serious than others but all are important to consider):

_He already has kids.
I have nothing against guys who are trying to balance their lives with the responsibility of being a parent. I'd just rather not deal with the baggage that comes with it. And crazy baby mamas.

_Lil' Wayne is one of his top 5 favorite artists.
That's just...no. The gap in musical tastes - and who knows what else - would be of epic proportions and too great to connect the two of us. As Lance likes to say, "You can't explain bad taste to someone who has it".

_Potent B.O.
Do I need to explain this one? I like getting close and being affectionate, so please don't make me hold my breath everytime you lean in for a kiss.

_History of cheating
People make mistakes and learn from them. But I just don't need something like that always lingering in the back of my mind.

_"Bitches, sluts, hoes, etc." are part of his normal vocabulary.
I have to admit I've met guys who have done this within the first 10 minutes of meeting them. It's amazing how much respect I will lose for a guy when he starts talking about these "ugly, fat bitches" to his friends not too long after the initial "Nice to meet you Kristine".

_Doesn't like sushi
I enjoy my tempura shrimp rolls, plum wine and Japanese restaurants way too much.

_Flaunts their "intelligence" too much
This is for those people who are constantly correcting others and like to state random facts to prove how smart they are. They may also have the tendency to use complicated, long words just for the sake of it when it is totally unnecessary. Just say no to pretentious pricks.

_Does not tip
Not only is it rude, but I hate being embarrassed in public, on top of the second-hand embarassment for the guy. If you don't have money to dish out a decent tip, don't plan on dining out period.

_Annoying myspace/facebook profile pictures
Applicable if the majority of their pictures are: shirtless poses, myspace angles, altered by 2+ effects, shots of their body w/o the face, throwing up too many gang signs, etc. etc. Also known as trying too hard.

You Know You Love Me, XOXO

Here's a quick entertainment update for some of my favorite shows right now :

Gossip Girl

-So lately there have been reports that O.C. alum Mischa Barton was approached for a role on Gossip Girl as Georgina Sparks, a drama queen who brings up Serena's troubled past just as Serena is trying to clean up her act. Fortunately, she turned down the role so she can pursue...? The girl hasn't really done much since her Marissa Cooper days except the occasional Keds campaigns and DUI/marijuana possession, and that's about it. I never really liked her on the O.C. so now that her potential to ruin one of my favorite shows has been denied, I can optimistically anticipate the return of this show. Being a bitch has never seemed more fun thanks to my girl Blair.

Lost

-Am I right or am I right when I said last week's episode was going to be awesome? The whole plot with time travel/the constant thing was so crazy and intense but still easy to comprehend, compared to the show's other "out there" plot lines. If I wasn't watching the episode with the guys, the flood gates would've opened and I probably would've bawled like a little baby during the Desmond/Penny phone call. Ugh, so cute.

Making the Band 4
-I'm actually considering getting both Day 26's and Danity Kane's albums. It's not really thought-provoking stuff but I'm always down for some feel good albums that are just fun to listen to. Here are some snippets from both albums for you to make your own opinions about them.



As much as I love this show, I have to admit I miss the "gotcha gotcha/boom-kac" sometimes.
