My awesome little sister let me write a guest post on her blog, "anything once." I wrote about driving on the boardwalk at the beach for the first time because I've never done that before. Lifeguards are the only people who get to do that in California, so Virginia now has one thing that they do better than California.
Here's the link:

2 Slightly Embarrassing Stories
I decided to join eharmony again last month because there hasn't really been a way to meet single guys around here. This means that I've gone on a couple of dates in the past month and here are two stories to make the 4 of you who read this laugh at me. I want to clarify that they're not actually super-embarrassing, but I'm hoping you'll be able to visualize.
Story 1:
I met a guy from eharmony at Panchero's for the first time on Wednesday. I had gone to Kohl's right before to: (a) put on a little bit of makeup because what I had applied that morning had mostly disappeared from my face and (b) go to the bathroom. We went into the restaurant, we're standing in line trying to figure out what to order, he looks down and says, "... you have something on your shoe." Yep, there was a trail of toilet paper on my shoe that I brought over from Kohl's on accident. I said, "Oh... that's awkward and that's never happened to me," then threw it in the trash.
Story 2 (this one made my roommate, Cara, snort):
I hung out with the same guy and two of his friends last night who are boyfriend and girlfriend. I felt like things went pretty well, but there were times when I felt like I was on a job interview. I don't think there's any way to avoid feeling that way when three people already know each other and they want to get to know one new person.
When they were about to leave, they said they were going to get a movie from Redbox and I thought they said they were going to get Starbucks. I said, "There's a Starbucks in the Barnes and Noble down the street, so that one's probably the closest." Then she said, "Oh, I like coffee," or something like that and he said something about liking Starbucks, too. This made me about 99.7% sure that they hadn't said something about going to Starbucks. I may as well have said, "I used to have a Yorkie" or "Transylvania really isn't that scary." I mumbled something like, "Oh... I thought I heard you saying something about Starbucks," but I don't think they heard me.
In conclusion, accidental non-sequiturs are awkward.
