There’s a saltwater film on the jar of your ashes. I threw them to sea, but a gust blew them backwards and the sting in my eyes that you then inflicted was par for the course–just as when you were living.

As technology advances, our ability to communicate diminishes. eHarmony Advantures.

[Before we get to our next installment of the eHarmony Adventures series, our guest blogger would like to submit a bit of an update regarding the last post and the improbable odds she's up against when finding suitable dates. - Mat]

For those of you who think I may be exaggerating about some of the “matches” that I get, you’ll find that this profile excerpt isn’t quite as eHarmonious as you would’ve originally imagined:

“Wonderful music(All kinds of)bring me to the heaven, Singing in the public turn me on…I also think the best way to stay focus and peace in this uproarious world is spending more time on reading. When vacation is coming, I will packed up and grab my camera for traveling with my friends :) If the god allow me to make 3 wishes to be come true, that will be World Peace, No disease and No wild animal killing.”

I’m down with the “world piece and no disease” part but um, really? How do I get these kinds of matches, you ask? I guess only time, and a scientific experiment will tell…

[And on to the next blog... hit the jump for more.]

Statistics, destiny, and attractiveness. eHarmony adventures continue…

[This is the second post in the the eHarmony Adventures series by an anonymous guest blogger. More commentary after the jump. - Mat]

Update Two

For the past week and a half, I have been receiving 6-8 emails each morning telling me that I have a new match at eHarmony. At the beginning of this period, the prospect of an interesting guy (aka potential date) sitting in my inbox was pretty exciting. I thought that eHarmony – with its “scientifically matched” branding campaigns would do a good job of creating complements – but as it turned out [so far], I’ve only found 3 out of the 50-some-odd candidates to be potentially date-able matches.

The Good Left Undone

All because of you, I haven’t slept in so long. When I do, I dream of drowning in the ocean.

- Rise Against

This is how I feel at the end of every single semester.

eHarmony: The Adventure Begins

[This is the first in a series of posts about the adventures of online dating through eHarmony. The posts are obviously not mine--I've just agreed to post them so my friend can stay anonymous. Besides, I've laid out what I think about relationships. Anyways, here's her first post--I'm hoping this is the start of a long (and fun) journey to something substantial. - Mat]

The Beginning

For many reasons, my relationship track record hasn’t been great. Continue reading…

This year, I’m thankful for cupcakes in cones.

I’m sure I’ll have more Thanksgiving photos up, but for now it’ll just be these…

This year, I’m thankful for OReyes–my TiVo-master, fellow-procrastinator, always-up-for-Korean-friend-chicken, always-forgets-to-put-away-her-personal-items, rat-hunting, Facebook-photo-tagging, made-me-awesome-cupcakes-in-a-cone-for-my-birthday roommate.

Thanks for the birthday Cupcakes in a Cone. A month late, but hey… it’s the thought, right?

So awesome.
