BECAUSE I CAN’T FUNCTION IN NORMAL SOCIETY!!!!
Okay maybe I can but not with normal people. I am a very strange person who, while can be very interesting can also be a very strange weirdo. Like for example online dating.
Now those of you that have followed my blog (however pitifully sad and small it is) know that I’ve been attempting to navigate the terrifying world of internet dating. Just call me the intrepid explorer. So I’ve been messaging people here and there, those that I find interesting, any who respond to me, and one who seems to be a very fascinating character named Tuna (more details as I receive them). However on one such occasion, I made a fool of myself.
Now making a fool of myself isn’t something that is particularly new, I’ve done it many, many times before but this time I particularly crashed and burned.
So I was talking to this guy and he asked me what I was passionate about, so naturally I exclaimed “HISTORY!!” (okay maybe not that excitedly). He asked what specifically, so I naturally said “Oh I’m really interested in Middle Eastern history and of course eastern European. My favorite person in history is Elizabeth Bathory.”
Now if any of you know who Elizabeth Bathory is, you probably also know that she is not exactly the most romantic icons of history. She had a very bloody and disturbing life as well as a vampiric legend that followed her around. It’s really interesting fascinating stuff. It’s just not….pretty.
He seemed unphased.
So I guess we’ll see. Gotta love a good ol’ fashioned vampire story on a first date!
