MissAdventure 10: Dating 101

Yeah... so I missed that one. Perhaps the title should be How Not to Date 101? Assholes 101? Avoidant and Cannot Accept Responsibility 101?

Or maybe it was just this second rebound Alberta boy (oh god is this a pattern spanning countries?).

It all started on a 22 C day, cloudy with sun appearing at 2:30 pm in the afternoon. And yes that is relevant. After a month of texting which should've been the major tip-off. Honestly the Hinge profile was riddled with red flags, but of course the only one I saw was the one with the maple leaf. Blinded by love for my country and the white pants on the first date that I should have run away from, fast!

This tale begins with the best first date a wild, spirited, twenty-something could ever hope for and ends with, well, not sure. That is TBD. The halftime show does involve being uninvited from a Halloween party because we "need time to adjust" (??). I'm sorry, WHUT? Only to find out that I was uninvited to be replaced by a horse girl. Like an actual horse girl, it's somehow her job. 

And so here is the story... (INSERT HERE)

I know what he did, to be clear. As we know, this wasn't my first rodeo. I pieced it together while he was away. Why did he post those summer pics (2 of which I took or was present for)? Huh, he has a new follower to put him up to a still very low 165. A pretty(ish) blonde girl with a horse... let the sleuthing begin. 

I'm sure you won't be surprised that I am an exceptionally good cyber sleuther. Which I demonstrated to this guy on the first date!! All I needed was a name to piece together exactly who she was, along with a conveniently public twitter. And this is which I preach privacy, because of people like me. Slipped up a tad and was logged into LinkedIn when clicked on her profile, a huge rookie mistake, but hey I deactivated it for a month and my life was better for it. I DID have a mild panic before realizing it was time to go underground for a bit.

MissAdventure 5: International COVID Escape

Now you can't think I DIDN'T do something covid crazy? What would a MissAdventure installment be without me doing something crazy, only to run back and undo everything a few months later to avoid breaking any serious rule (oops). Well you are in for a treat. This one involves being kicked out of a hotel for doing nothing wrong. Wish I could say I trashed the place like a rockstar but maybe next time. COMING SOON...

MissAdventure 4: How to Start a Career

Well, it’s been interesting to say the least and 100% qualifies for “MissAdventure” certification. In the first weeks of my newest post-university adventure I have had the pleasure of witnessing the downfall (whist being assured it is not) of a company division. Oh and yes, I am working at said division. Not exactly what I had been waiting over a year for, but if all was normal this wouldn’t be as tantalizing of a tale. See, it appeared that my troubles would be over after the severe flash flooding I witnessed from the “least safe place to be”, listening to the emergency radio broadcast and realizing that was exactly where I was. The terror really sinks in when you look to the left and quite literally see a car… sinking… in water. Submerged. Gone. Don’t worry, I’m still here to bring a good hearty laugh and smile to your day at my own expense. My apartment was fine thanks to my dear grandfather (thank you again!) who insisted I pour over a flood map before choosing an apartment. ...
