cCacao+ clan: day 5 evening closeout

last login ... logged in yesterday (over here) with ending stats at 3 clickety-clack:14 tbd.

day 5 - prepping ... in the morn, had 7 new matches, thus resulting in 3 clickety-clack:21 tbd (with the 20 closed out remaining). rather than take any action, i decided to wait until this evening and it a few of the newbies login, i predict at least 3 will close me out, although possibly a total of 5. i will definitely contact 1. was i right? did i end up with 3:18 or 3:16 or did one of the tbd's initiate communications? tick-tock ... tick-tock ...

by the way, when email notifications show up ... they are phrases like get to know your new match manly-man-name ... meet manly-man-name: your new match ... find out more about your new match ...

day 5 evening closeout ... first of all, i thought i'd be getting back from the sf giants game (against the atl braves), so i'd be a bit tired. also, it'd be my first time at the ballpark in good company with text-man, and i'd have a bunch of pictures for fun. well, after a flurry of text messages during the day, i met my friend, text-man, at thirsty bear ... had a beer, a few tapas and paella. we never made it to the ballpark, watched the basketball game, glanced over at some soccer, and then headed out just before 10 pm.

i'm so tired. so a quick check-in and then sleep time. and i fear that math will be difficult tonight. i'm tired. anyway - no more whining. so starting out with:

• 20 matches
• 3 clickety-clacks (and waiting for 2 of the 3 to respond to my reachin' out - ha!)
  
• 1 closed me out (hmmm ... i figured 3-5 from 05/27 matches would close me out. shall see eventually - or perhaps i'll do it)

reading responses from 1 clickety-clack ... well, are at the must have/can't stand part. read his 10/10 list, and all checked out. next step. i've sent mine over. i decided not to edit my original list. it took long enough to select just 10 for each. the first 7 were easy for both lists, and narrowing down for the additional 3 was a bit tough. now ... it's a waiting game to see if (a) he sends over a set of 2nd questions to keep communicating or (b) i get a dear jane standard message to step off.

voices in my head ... for tonight, i'm going to pass on the longer version of the voices in my head. but as ticklers and reminders for me, i'll say that i have thought about a few things:

• friday fish & chips gal ... will share with you a few more details of her first experience with this service. a couple of years ago, when all was said and done, she had 1,548 closed matches. this was roughly over 10 months spread out.
• details, details ... there is a part where you can write a bit more about what you want matches to know about you. i've seen profiles with that section filled in, and it is nice to read a little more detail. that said, i cheated a bit by completing that section with content i'd written up back in late 2006. (want details? just ask. nothing earth shattering.) i still need/want to finish filling out the other sections of the on-line service.
• last experience ... (re)pondering that this time around is crazy nutty with the increased rate of matches.

and now for day 5 evening closeout ... i've gone back to the 20 remaining matches and started closing out some.

• matches still to clickety-clack = 17
  
• clickety-clacking = 3 (am waiting for 2 to respond; 1 took the next step for which i'm waiting)
  
• closed out = 24 (i closed out 3 more this evening. there was 1 i was a bit unsure simply because his profile was intriguing; it would have been neat just to meet him, but i am reminded it's not iamcuriousandyouseemneat.com)
  

until the next login when i'm not pooped.
