My gaydar needs a tune-up

I often tell people that my gaydar is terrible, and it really is. I thought this girl was a lesbian, and she has a boyfriend. At a party, a girl came in with a gay guy who turned out to be her boyfriend. Those are just two recent examples of my folly.

So how did I get 85% correct on OKCupid.com's Gaydar Test?
You personally got 17 of the 20 people correct and were better at recognizing girls than guys. Overall, you guessed better than 94% of all test takers.

Gay or Eurotrash? (I think this is a line from the Legally Blonde musical)

The point is, not all gay people can be stereotyped or easily discerned as gay. And that's it. Good night!

Luke good on the green

Parker, did you see this? Your favorite actor is joining forces with one of my beloved sneaker companies for the benefit of tee timers everywhere. Luke can always fall back on Puma in case his movie career stumbles. Making a movie with Jessica Simpson? Career suicide!

Two wrongs don't make a right, three lefts do

I spend too much time thinking about internet invitation protocol. I was invited to two parties by girls who I invited to my party, and neither had RSVPed. I've decided not to RSVP to one girl's party (she lives in the boonies anyway), but I put down a maybe for the other girl. Maybes are always safe. And I still prefer Evite over Facebook for invites. I'm just too thoughtful and polite!
