kicking puppies is bad

That’s right. All of the OkCupid creepiness caused my sister (formerly triangle_girl) to delete her OkCupid profile. And now I don’t know how to refer to her in this journal. I used to call her “triangle_girl” and provide a link to her profile. But her profile no longer exists, so I can’t do that. I could use her real name, but she deleted her profile because you guys were annoying (and slightly creepy). And I think providing you with her real name could lead to stalking. And that would be bad. Last night, we discussed the issue:

Me: I don’t know what to call you in my OkCupid journal
Her: You could refer to me as “my sister”
Me: That is lame. I think from this point on I will refer to you as, “The artist formerly known as triangle_girl”
Her: What is my symbol?
Me: I don’t know. If it was a well known symbol I wouldn’t be calling it “the artist formerly known as triangle_girl”, I would call it as an “Exclamation Point” (or whatever its actual name was)
Her: Oh. But I want to know what my symbol is

At this point I went downstairs. When I returned she handed me a piece of paper. From this point on, she will be referred to as or when I am too lazy to link the the image (which will most likely be always), The Artist Formerly Known as Triangle_Girl.

On a completely unrelated note, I got an OkCupid email today that said, “hi how r u ……..where u from”. I rarely complain about the vast quantity of idiotic OkCupid emails I get. I’ve gotten used to the lame one line emails by now. I disabled “woos” – so I don’t have to deal with them**. But seriously, OkCupid posts my location information in about 4 billion places. If you are going to send me a lame one-line email, at least ask something interesting that isn’t posted in bold letters in 4 billion different places. Ask me if I prefer crunchy peanut butter or smooth peanut butter. Ask me why I think that belgian malinois are the absolute most perfect dog in the world. Ask me who would win in a fight, an alligator with a laser or a python with a .357 magnum. Ask me anything that even a (slightly literate) spastic gerbil on acid wouldn’t already be able to figure out.

** Except for the occasional person who circumvents the “disable woos” feature and sends me an email with message “woo” and nothing else. WTF? I disabled “woos” because I didn’t want to get silly messages that didn’t say anything. Do you think I am going to find it cute or innovative or something?
