tall in spirit, just about as wise as his years | joanna
Project Date-Our-Flatmate has gathered significant momentum recently, such to the point of requiring a major update. While I conduct my interview with Alex via e-mail concerning the project's myriad of successes, here's a friendster exchange showcasing one of its, uh, shortcomings. (nb EJ is 23)

Re: Joanna has suggested a match for you!
You are the second person today who has recommended this guy to me. I want to know just one thing: is he TALL? I'm tall.

Re: Joanna has suggested a match for you!
Well, no, Alex isn't tall per se, but checks in at an utterly respectable 5'9". Nonetheless he is tall in spirit.
Hmm. The other recommendation probably came from my boyfriend Ashley. He and I are both trying to line up dates for our dear roommate and my best friend. The project is chronicled on Alex and my website at two-twenty.net... I know it's probably a little weird, but (though not statuesque) Alex is a great guy. And, apparently, both Ash and I think you guys might hit it off.

Re: Joanna has suggested a match for you!
I don't know, Joanna, he's short and older, so he's already got two major point against him. I'm sure he's a really great friend, but just not what I'm looking to date. But it's really nice of you to try and hook him up.
