#GOPPickupLines, in honor of VD (part 1)
A year ago, I boldly took my blackberry where it had no business going.
Namely, a blind date.
On Valentines Day (VD).
With a Republican*.
As Fate would have it, six months later I did find my current boyfriend, thanks to Twitter. We met each other by accident, bonding over Chuck Norris and Wu Tang jokes, waiting for a big speech at a conference. (I know, we’re dorks.)
But back to the trainwreck.
So in Part 1 of my homage to Twitter and Valentines Day, I give you archived tweets of #GOPpickuplines:
nerdette: ok peeps, I need #GOPpickuplines Any ideas? and no, I’m not wearing red tonight on my bipartisan #blinddate.

*My blind date played one on twitter, anyhow.
I’m trying to piece together what I could find of my blind date – so bear with me – it might take me until Sunday to pull it all together. And I am seriously going CSI on this archival effort. Let this be a cautionary tale to everyone – ARCHIVE YOUR STUFF! You never know when you’ll want to look back on your personal inanity.
NOT MY GAL
