I cancelled my account on OKCupid. It's a cool site and all, and the tests
are fun, but I think it did something weird to my brain. Suddenly, I was
seeing everyone on earth in terms of potential "matches" for me, and I
don't know how to explain it, but it felt weird. A little creepy, a
little not-me. I like LJ better -- there's an assumption of conversation
and friendship (hey, a utility for the stupidly named "friends" list!); at
OKCupid, it's assumed it's about matching for romantic purposes.

Which is totally cool and all, and I like the site and would recommend it
to people, but it put me in a weird headspace that I don't especially
like. I really adore the partners I have now, and I don't like this
feeling that even though I'm happy where I am, I'm browsing for something
else.

Probably will make sense to no one but me, but there it is. Might ponder
more about this later.
