This is nice and all...

...but will not get you anywhere:

I'm afraid I font have a question to ask but would like to say that I do find you intresting. Just one of those things . I'm always looking for a good friend and maybe if we can be friends , I would like to hear you play. Till then have a good day.

So let me say a little more about why this won't get you anywhere...

This is another message I got from a guy on a dating site. I explicitly tell people in my profile that if you want a response from me you need to ask a question because (and I quote): Conversations start with questions and end with statements.


The message above tells me nothing. Do we have anything in common? Does he like tacos? Why does he find me interesting? I know why I think I am interesting, but please, tell me a little more... how can we be friends if he can't ask me a question to find out more about me and or whether or not we can have a conversation? This tells me that the guy likes music and wants to see me play, and I all I can think right now is "what if he's a stalker? I know nothing about him!" So no, sir, I will not be inviting you (whoever you are) to watch me play. Not happening. I will also not be responding to this message.

Friday Funday + a font

Today has been a fun day so far. I am probably going to get a new camera, it's just a point and shoot, so nothing super special, but it will replace the camera I've had since 2004. That one is literally falling apart at the seams, so right now it's being held together by a rubber band.

Then I went to lunch with some coworkers and had a great lunch. Some of us at the office are going through a wellness program, and our personal trainer stopped by to say "hi" and also give us a hard time. We had a really fun time just kind of chatting about fitness and life at the library.

Then I read this awesome blog from my friend, the domestic nerdess... We're friends in person too, and since I know she loves fonts and typefaces I asked her once what kind of font I would be. I meant it as sort of one of those silly questions, but she took the question very seriously, and finally gave me my results:

 

You can read her blog about why she chose this font for me here. So thanks domestic nerdess, I love the font you picked for me!
