EHarmony.com

Okay, you will probably have one of three reactions to this entry: worry, disgust, or laughter. I hope laughter wins. You know those internet dating services? Okay, I know the reaction is starting now. Well, i had a friend (you know who you are... Philly) who really met someone special through one of these things. So out of boredom and curiosity, I filled out a profile last night on eharmony.com. it was actually really fun. they asked about 40 mins of questions and then they did a "match" search. I was actually disapointed at the match profile they made for me. There were a things they said I would want, that is practically the opposite of what I want. Like they said that my match would be financially stable and concerned for providing for a family. hmmm... that sounds great but a life of orphans doesn't include that (mom, I know you are going to comment on this, I know money is a good thing to have and a bad thing to be in want of, but I don't want a life obsessed with it). Anyway, I did a "match" search and no matter how many times I wrote that I valued intelligence, they wouldn't listen. The first two matches were SO wrong for me! But the third was actually really interesting to read. He actually basically did sound perfect, except he lives in London right now.
I wasn't expecting to find true love, but it was an interesting experience. I really enjoyed the reflection aspect of the questions. It made me realize just how much we are all individuals. And as I looked at my profile, I was happy. i like what I have done, what I do, where I have been, where I have come, and in general, I just like who I am. I am not saying that I am this perfect person or anything, I am so far from that, but I like who God has made me. Anyways, if Mr. Right is reading this (Ashlee, who knows right?), you can pay eharmony.com $24.99 to check out my profile online, or just email me.

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
