I've been described more than once as an "old lady". I like to get up early and go to bed early. I don't like bars or loud parties. I like to read and hate vulgarity. I'm hopelessly optimistic that I will bump into the love of my life on a train or in a bookstore like girls always did in movies of the 40s and 50s. So like I said, call me old fashioned.
What I hate is this high-school-ish dating stuff that seems to be going on now. Where a friend is too involved in the state of your (or in this case, my) love life (or in this case, lack thereof). I know they mean well, but the constant discussion of who I like and what I'm looking for is tiring. And on the occassion I talk to other species of the opposite gender at work, I have to hear the giggling in the background during their IM conversations. Why is this love thing have to be so difficult? Where is this knight shining in armour that appears in every black-and-white I've ever seen to sweep the girl off her feet? I could really use my Cary Grant right about now, if only to get these friends off my back!

Amen, sister! This happens to me, too. It gets old. Another thing that gets old is hearing, "You're so picky." The next time someone I know who is married says that I am going to say, "Oh, you weren't? You just some random person?!"
