There Are 8 Types of Women With Serious Dating Hang-Ups
(CLEVELAND, OHIO) Some women find themselves in their mid-30s and without a committed relationship. Often times, they're stuck in a rut because of psychological issues. A shrink has labeled 8 traps women can get themselves into.

Old Faithful -- She desires the one she can't have, and can't move forward
The Standstill -- She's concentrated on her career and ignored her social life
Forbidden Fruit Hunter - Gets involved with men who are married
Uptown Girl - Attracted only to men with money
Compassionate Rescuer -- Looks for men with problems (or boys in the band)
The Wanderer - She always has a lover or potential boyfriend on the side
Whirlwind Dater - Constantly dating, but never with one guy for very long
Runaway Bride -- She's great at getting into relationships, but once it's time to make a commitment, she finds an escape hatch


SEVEN FRIENDS WOMEN DON'T NEED
Proceed with caution if you hear a woman say, "I just never really got along with women... I usually hang out with the guys." You know my theory... When you're the only girl in the room, you're the hottest girl in the room. These types of women are not interested in being your friend because they'd rather be the center of attention in a room full of guys.

Here are seven types of friends no woman needs, according to Lifetimetv.com.

The whiner -- Every day, everywhere, she complains about everything wrong in her life.
The leech -- She's only friends with you because of what you can do for her and her pitiful social life.
The busy bee -- The woman who is always running around, too busy for her friends.
The chatterbox -- All she does is talk about herself.
The adviser -- She's always trying to give you unsolicited advice on how to run your life.
The dumper -- Whenever something or someone better comes up, she kicks you to the curb.
The bragger -- She's always bragging about her expensive clothing, her great job, hot boyfriend, or exotic places she's traveled. Shut up, already!

Another list of random things

Okay, this is another random entry...
this time, to clear notes that have accumulated around my home, on scraps of paper and sticky notes. I'm trying to live a more clutter-free life, so here's getting rid of the notes, and recording them onto the Interwebs for posterity's sake.

People I've lost track of (that I wish I hadn't)
most of them from my life in Eugene
Colin Morgan - a good male friend from that time period, who I met through a guy who was in my stand-up comedy group. From the house of the questionably heterosexual, took a road trip to a college friend's wedding with me. Moved away to Chicago to architecture school about the same time I moved back to LA for Comedy World. Lost email touch, have no idea where he is these days.
Brett Lieberman - a friend of Jen's from Ohio who I became email (pen) pals with, and who I actually met in person when he came to Oregon to visit. Lost email touch. I'm sure he still lives in Ohio.
Kurt Loyd - dated briefly in Eugene, worked at the student radio station with me. Broke my heart, 'cause he strung me along. Was a few years older than me. Contacted me by email a few times, was shocked by my honesty over being heartbroken. His email addresses are no good.
Kris Hansen (Kristin James Broder Hansen) - was a friend of a musician I knew, Lael Alderman. Lived in Portland when I lived in Eugene. Dated briefly, long distance, and intensely. Broke up with me because it was too much for him. We stayed in touch by letter for a while, but then lost email touch when I was dating B.
Jeff Marion - co-worker from Harvest House publishers who shared musical interests and listened to my radio program.

(if you know where any of these people are, please let me know... They popped into my head one night of nostalgia and melancholy)

Just over two weeks ago, after a conversation with the pastoral counselor I've been seeing (therapist, but not a shrink), I went online and took a facsimile of a Myers-Briggs Personality Test. My results, on two different sites, were ENFJ (Extrovert Intuition Feeling Judging). I decided to take it after we discussed my extroversion, and some of the parts of my personality that I'm working on.

MUSIC I WANT TO LOOK INTO:
Mat Kearney, Nothing to Lose (song) - saw on middle of the night VH1
Ian Brown - British singer
The Scruffs - Wanna Meet the Scruffs (original album) & Teenage Gurls (album) - read about in a magazine on a shift at the bookstore. Reminiscent of Big Star and influence Clash, Nick Lowe.

random ramblings and life round-up

So, my life has been busy recently. Good, bad, and the rest, but busy.

I've worked late every day this week. We had a local power outtage on Monday that took all four of our radio stations off the air for almost an hour, and then intermittently for the rest of the day. Yesterday and today, a corporate guy was in to help interview candidates for a new PD and to help fix some problems. So, I sat with him today for about an hour and half and learned a program i didn't know prior. And, I've been getting to know the PD on the country station, and he's a great person who really knows radio and programming and talent.

I have been dating someone for a few months, a friends of a friend. We broke up on Sunday, over the phone. It was the first time in my life where I was glad to hear that it wasn't me, it was him. Because it was. It was also my first "mutual" breakup without acrimony. It just wasn't working, and we both knew it. And, there is no anger, but there is also no point in trying to make something work that isn't, especially if it isn't working in the early stages. He's someone I could see staying in touch with, so I'll try at it.

I'm thinking about doing standup again. 'Cause I really like making people laugh. For this, I need to start writing again, and then i'll try 'em out at Comedy TN open mike night. I've been told over and over again (admittedly, by friends) that my observations and the way I say things is unique and funny. But I haven't been on-stage performing since a bad show in Eugene, so it's a big challenge to myself.

Have you heard about Mel Gibson's spectacular breakdown? I want a t-shirt that says "Sugartits". If you know of one available online, tell me! Otherwise, I have to add it to my list of t-shirts I need made. I'm still searching for a local screenprinter or iron-on t-shirt shop, but I will use the internets if I have to for all my funny things I want to have on a t-shirt.

I'm going away for the weekend, a girl's weekend away with my friend Kiren and a couple of her work girlfriends, organized by her work girlfriend Emily (who was in Belly Dancing classes with us). We're staying in a suite, getting massages, going shopping, and exploring Nashville. Should be fun, and i've been saving up money to do this, so I'm psyched.
