Okay so I did end up closing two of my accounts (the intell' ones) and opening another one under OkCupid to maintain my three-accounts count. (Still haven't found the stalker button yet, Lucy.) Which then promptly sent me ... well several emails, but the one that caught my attention and caused much lolz is one titled "World Map of Your Matches" where, as the subject line indicates, they generated a heat map of where each person's best matches are around US and around the world. According to my map within the US I should be thinking about Hawaii, North Dakota, Alaska, Virginia, and Delaware. (Hawaii is warm. I approve.)On a world map US didn't even make it onto the list. Instead I got Slovakia (yes I know), Sweden, Israel, Singapore, and Slovenia. (And I had to look up where Slovenia is because I can't for the life of me remember.)
Also? I messaged someone, who did message back so now he's teaching me how to make potato-cannons! (No I didn't message him just to get the instructions. OkCupid did send a message with all possible matches and this guy's over 90% matched.) Given the email exchange this is probably going to the extend of my involvement with the Cannon guy, but oh my god projectiles. I was disappointed that we didn't do any projectile stuff (egg drop doesn't count) in physics the way I was disappointed we didn't do any origami stuff in geometry, so this is very exciting. (Do people still fire actual potatoes?) Not that I can really build one because although I know where to get pvc pipes I have no drill. Which is a crying shame but alas, life is cruel that way.
(It's worth signing up for these instructions alone.)
...does anyone own a drill and want to collaborate?
(P.S. Yes I'm still penpals with Xylene. We've moved on to medicare-type dilemmas now, I think. With lingering hints of alien conspiracy theories.)

Not related at all, but those vanilla Almond Dream Bites (chocolate-covered non-dairy ice cream balls) are way addictive. Think chocolate-covered almonds. Except as ice cream.
