Let me call you sweetheart

Until April of this year, I had no real sense that I was considered 'Miscellaneous.'

You could say that I came of age in a simpler, more quaint time. When "Tales of the City" was required reading. When a girl could go out to a gay bar and find a great orgy to attend (and even partake in, should she be so inclined). When boys were girls and girls were boys.

You know, the 80s.

But a recent -- ahem -- adventure into the strange underbelly of internet dating led to a rude awakening. My postings kept getting deleted from Craigslist. I mean, talk about give me a complex: what in the world is so 'out there' that it gets rejected from Craigs list?! Have you seen the penis photos?! Who are these Craigs list police and WTF are they shooting up?

You see, apparently, even though I'm a woman who actually is seeking either a woman or a transgendered person (FTM or MTF, ça m'est égal), my postings to both the woman-seeking-woman and woman-seeking-man listings were rejected. The only place where my ads didn't get deleted were the 'Misc.' category. Hence the name for this new blog and my new life as Misc. Romance. Or Ms. Romance, to you.

Nice to meetcha.
