Can You Believe Heidi And Seal Are Splitsville? Me Either!

Right before I go on a date, especially one with a stranger, I like to Pin my ass off on Pinterest and look at a gossip site.

Several reasons:

1. I can say "Oh, I cook this all the time" when we order something because I know I just pinned a recipe similar to it. Lying is key. Especially to strangers.

2. I see 34,781 wedding photos. This gets my head right. Be the ball, Danny.

3. I have already lied out about 6 different hideous outfits. I can pin a few that I like and turn around and pick something similar out of my closet that doesn't scream "I'M NERVOUS! AND CAN'T DECIDE WHICH PERSONALITY TO CONVEY TO YOU! ALSO, I HAVE LOTS OF T-SHIRTS."

4. Maybe he knows about and wants to discuss Miley's haircut.

5. He definitely knows about and maybe wants to discuss Kate Middleton's nudie shots.

6. Pinning, for me, is the equivalent of talking out loud. If I went ape shit on Autumn recipes and emo quotes, maybe I won't spin out of control, seemingly trying to reach some daily word quota with this dude.

7. He looks a little like James Van Der Beek. I have to see pics of JVDB to judge if he looks enough like him that I'm willing to let a racist comment or 2 slide.

8. I feel slightly cultured when I look at thumbnails of Greece and the Maldives. Enough to say "I'd like to visit Greece. And the Maldives"

9. If he's boring as shit, I can silently get myself excited to come home and learn more about that yummy looking breakfast casserole.

10. Pinning is less sweaty than jacking off. For the most part.
