Playoff Dates

I could not be more excited that the Seahawks are going to the playoffs with home field advantage. Scratch that. I could be more excited if I were going to a playoff game. Tickets went on sale at 10am this morning. I set my alarm, pointed two laptops and my phone to the Ticketmaster site, grabbed my debit card, and started refreshing the page at 9:50am. No dice.

Once I accepted the fact that I was not going to be able to obtain tickets, I consoled myself by purchasing one of these limited edition Super Seahawks t-shirts. Here's the link so you can get one of your very own: teespring.com/superseattleseahawks.

Back to the tickets. Plan A was a bust. Plan B would be to spend all afternoon at the stupid mall on Monday in the hopes of purchasing a $10 lottery ticket for the chance to win a playoff game prize package. I'm not really the waiting in line type and I've already scheduled a daytime date with my friend T to see Anchorman 2, so Plan B probably won't happen.

...Which brings me to Plan C. Would it be totally unacceptable to change my POF profile to read: "I will date you for a playoff ticket. No ticket = No date"? Before you pipe up, you have to at least hear me out. I literally couldn't be more honest. I would have no ulterior motive, unlike the majority of online dating profiles, which are basically thinly veiled requests to get in someone's pants. Why make someone wade through a whole long description of myself and my criteria for a date when, really, the only thing that matters to me is the football game? They don't even have to like me, and I don't have to like them! What's three hours sitting next to a stranger in the loudest place on earth, right? I suppose I would have to bring something to the table other than my sparkling conversation to make the deal happen, though. Maybe a super sweet Super Seahawks shirt would sweeten the pot? Yeah, probably not.

P.S. I hate to ask, but if you enjoy my blog, would you consider sharing it or becoming a follower by email? I hate to keep posting on Facebook because it feels like I am forcing it on ALL of my friends. Thanks, and Happy New Year!
