Just Because...

Facebook FanPage Contest

Congratulations to Colin Quek for winning our Facebook Contest!

The question was:  What is your idea of the perfect date?

Colin’s winning answer was:

On a Saturday night, much like this one, go to the Pond at Bryant Park for a nice round of ice skating. The perfect time would be a little bit later, maybe around 10, so it’s not completely crowded, yet not devoid of life either (so we can ask them to take pictures for us). Some clumsy, but cute skating ensues. Hold hands (aww), breathe in the cool, crisp air, and talk about the weather, what kind of day we had, gossip about other couples, politics… anything that comes to mind. Then make the brisk walk over to Starbucks and find a comfy spot inside. Melt away into a steamy cup of hot chocolate and chitchat about how lucky we are that Starbucks is on every corner, how lucky we are that we have a night free, how lucky we are to be together… Walk her home and while she’s getting her keys, linger just long enough to see if its the right moment……… End. Perfect.

We likey, Colin!  =)

First snowfall!

We got our first snowfall of the year, today!

Although it’s a bit nasty outside, it’s the perfect day to cuddle while watching a movie and drinking hot chocolate.

gotta love the holidays =)

First Impressions, Double Lives & “Types”

kylecooper:

“You’re not my type.”

The concept of “types” has been really intriguing me lately. A lot of this is due to my so called double life and watching how different people react to me based on how I look at the moment.

Your first impression of me would probably be miles apart based on when we crossed paths.

Suit & tie, or dress pants and collared shirts - Hard working, smart, ambitious.

Jeans, tees, peirced & tattoo’d - Slacker, creative, vagabonder.

I would venture that living this sort of double life is not uncommon for people my age, balancing a professional life while embracing what youth we have left.

Type really seems to have nothing to do with personality but instead is more of a social ideal. So “he’s not my type” deconstructs to “I think he’s nice enough to get to know, but he doesn’t fit into my social circle.”

I’ve noticed men are more easy going. The only guys I’ve ever known with types are the really religious guys who want an equally religious girl. Again, a social thing. They can associate and be friendly with any female but will only date one that fits into the social mold of being religious.

I guess my point is that stereotypes are bad and type-casting sucks. Get out of your comfort zone and stop dating people exactly like your fucking exs.
