I've been talking on the phone with the woman on match.com who's into anime and other geeky things (I forget whether I've mentioned her before). We've had some pretty good conversations so far (which she says is an a priori requirement of hers. I do so like a woman who says a priori), but we haven't met yet because she's married to her pager. She's a techie, and apparently she's on call every day for most of the summer because of server migrations that her firm is doing; in theory, it's not her job description, but in practice... well, I certainly have been there and done that. So far, though, I've managed to get by without being tethered by a beeper; cell phone, yes, pager, no. You have to take your little victories where you find them.
Anyway, I have hopes for this one. I try not to get them too high, since we haven't met face-to-face, but how can I not be intrigued by a girl who when I first called her was busy setting up the PS2 and floorpad controller that she bought specifically to play Dance Dance Revolution? For now I just have to be patient and wait for her time to free up a bit....
