Oo la la. eHarmony matched me with someone named Camello. He’s a sailor.
And what’s more,“Camello typically spends his leisure time:
- Weight lifting, outdoor activities, sexual pleasure.”
I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he didn’t understand the question.

So the former quarterback co-worker wasted no time telling me first thing Monday morning that he could run 3 miles at a pace of 7:45/mile.
I responded as any self-respecting adult would and said, “You have ink all over your shirt.”
To be fair, he did, though I’ll admit it was not the time or the place to point it out and I’m going to try to work on my sportsmanship.
Anyway, yesterday he asked me to take a sports conditioning class with him tomorrow at New York Sports Club. Even though I seriously doubt I could phsycially do half of the exercises, I agreed – mostly because the invitation was presented in such a way that if I said no, it would have looked like I was backing down from a challenge. And I’m much too proud for that.
Besides, the last time I took a class at New York Sports Club I “backed it up 2-3-4″ at full speed right into a punching bag and the instructor had to cut the music to make sure I didn’t hurt myself. I could use another story like that.
Also, my co-worker said something about the course being taught by an ROTC guy. I figure it can’t hurt to show up and look around. I mean, I might not be able to do a push up, but I can rock a pair of Spandex. And if I happen to meet someone tall and capable of bench pressing me, well then aren’t I the real winner?

I tried to correct a typo and instead deleted the whole post.
The most important part is this: I have cool friends and their exceptional style inspires mousetraps. That may not seem like a compliment, but it is.

“Roger smith, 31″ – I am calling your bluff.
I don’t believe you when you say that your occupation is “Entrapenur, Restaurat Owner.”
And I definitely don’t believe that your friends would use the word ”intelligent” to describe you - especially if they’re told to limit themselves to just four words. But on the off-chance they do, I would like to speak to them. Because we need to get a few things straight.
Namely, how you, Roger smith, can make a girl who spray paints mousetraps in her hallway look fantastically shit-together by comparison.

New items are posted over at the Mousesnaps store on Etsy. And because boys need to be involved in everything, we came up with a sufficiently masculine line – a little something I like to call “Striking Distance.”

As part of your online profile, eHarmony asks members to name “the four things your friends say you are.”
Because “totally awesome” was not a choice, I answered:
- Funny
- Hard-working
- Physically fit
- Reasonable
Obviously, the fourth adjective is a bit of wishful thinking on my part because I’m officially convinced that no reasonable person would ever sign up for eHarmony in the first place.
The latest proof point: Claxito, 25. According to his profile, the one thing Claxito is most passionate about is:
- helpping people, businees
And how did Claxito get matched with me? Well I can only assume it’s because he claims his friends would describe him as “funny” and “rational.”

If someone asked me what I did this weekend, I’d have to say, “The impossible.”
Because I made mousetraps look fashionable, people.
I also might have knocked over an entire display of rubber stamps while shopping at The Ink Pad down in the West Village, but I think the staff there understands the sacrifices we all need to make for fashion.
Coming to the Mousesnaps store soon!

Because I obviously don’t have enough hard work ahead of me with Physical Fitness Rampage 2009, I decided that my co-worker and I should race during the 10-mile run in May. And not just any co-worker, but the former high school quarterback co-worker – because, you know, what’s the point of setting a goal if it’s not going to be a real challenge?
He seemed unconcerned, if not completely dismissive, and asked a third co-worker who she thought would win.
“Oh, Nova,” she said without hesitation. “She’s like a gazelle. You’re like a Spongebob.”
I don’t know if she was being serious or not, but I’ll take it. And then I’ll get myself back to the gym.

I have goals for this weekend:
First, I’m going to take home the 30 pairs of shoes that have accumulated under my desk at work.
Then I’m going to finish making a Mousesnaps Web site.
I know that might sound overly ambitious, but I really think I could take care of at least half of the shoes. And as for the Web site, I was recently clued into Squarespace - they’re ”a publishing software service,” which I believe is a fancy way of saying “Web site maker.”
In any case, people have done some pretty cool things with it.
And if it’s good enough for Marc Ecko, it’s good enough for me.

So. I got the following message on eHarmony yesterday:

The biggest problem? My name isn’t Lisa.
But I hope Midtown East is convenient for her.
