A very meta-LJ post

[chanaleh]

It finally occurred to me to have a look at the Site Map.

There I serendipitously encountered, listed under "Fun Stuff" (always a promising heading), the following bits of amusement:

• The LiveJournal Song!


• LiveJournal Dating! [Those familiar with JDate will join me in instantly pegging this feature as LJDate.]

Yowza.

about JDATE

[adamosity.livejournal.com]

My mother (who wouldn't know what the internet was if it hit her in the face) started dropping hints about jdate. It turns out my cousin in Kentucky (that's scary enough, don't you think?) found someone on it in Louisville.

My thoughts were along the lines of this:

1) You weren't meant to be a matchmaker, mom! Trust me!
2) I've looked at it--something about a meet and greet in Hawaii (which would cost more than my car to go to?)
3) Most of the people were attractive and intelligent, but had the passion of a dead frong. They seemed, umm, really dull. (of course, I didn't see your thing, so..)

I'm ready for a honest Jewish date system:
Do you give guilt trips? (never, rarely, sometimes, often, daily)
Do you eat at kosher delis?
Do you spend (a tiny bit, some, a lot, tons) over your salary?
What is the Hebrew or Yiddish word you last used? No, schmuck doesn't count!

You get the idea...

Coincidentally, my date that I mentioned in the comment above, that came about because of LJ, was on my way driving to Louisville. Where I met someone who I am not dating.
