 Hookup Humor

This is a screenshot I took, to illustrate one of the things I hate about hookup apps: obnoxious over- insistence. 


This guy sent me 8 messages in the span of 4 months, 5 messages in one month, 3 in one day.  I responded to none of them.  But he kept sending them.  I mean, yeah, after not responding to 7 of your messages, why not try another one?  Surely I'll answer the 8th one, right?  

Sheesh.

Friday, January 01, 2021

 Just an FYI, my laptop's been acting a bit wonky again, so if I "go black", don't post anything for a while, that's probably what happened.  Hopefully not, but just in case, well, now you'll know.  If it happens.

 SO.....

Housekeeping stats for 2020.

In 2020, in theaters, DVDs, Blueray, cable TV and especially Roku, I saw movies, documentaries, mini-series and binged TV shows, to a total count of 118. (these do not, actually, include all the various documentaries than ran under 1 hour.  I can watch like three of those in a night, but I don't count it unless it's over an actaul hour of viewing).  My yearly totals on this: 

2020: 118
2019: 100
2018: 137
2017: 176
2016: 110
2015: 88
2014: 37
2013: 53
2012: 53
2011: 78
2010: 52
2009: 55
2008: 56
2007: 55
2006: 67
2005: 71
2004: 95
2003: 120
2002: 101
2001: 75
2000: 40

Higher than last year, but lower than the some years.  I attribute that to binging so many multi-season TV series (I mean the 15 seasons of ER took me two full months alone!).  Being all wrapped up in a TV series binge kinda limits my desire to watch other movies. 

Of these 118 movies, I only saw a grand total of ONE in a theater: Star Wars Rise of Skywalker on January 6th.   And I've only watched two of these with other people, the last time was on July 4th when my theater buddy Michelle and I watched Hamilton on Disney+.

Average movies per month: 9.83
*******************
Bookwise, this year I read 40 books, the same number as last year.   Yearly totals: 

2020: 40 
2019: 40
2018: 37
2017: 39
2016: 31
2015: 52
2014: 48
2013: 44
2012: 31
2011: 45
2010: 42
2009: 33
2008: 28
2007: 23
2006: 20
2005: 15
2004: 26
2003: 24
2002: 33
2001: 28
2000: 22
1999: 22

Breaking them down by category, I get the following: 

Alternate History: 1
Comic Book/Superhero: 5
Doctor Who: 6
Fantasy: 5
Fiction: 6
Gay: 4
History (non-Presidential): 4
Presidents: 5
Star Trek: 2
Young Adult Fiction: 2

And then the number and cost of books:

2020: 37 books for $283.43, average of $7.66 per book, and
             Of these books, 35 were actual books, 12 were graphic novels
2019: 79 books for $836.55, average of $10.73 per book, and
             Of these books, 68 are actual books, 10 are graphic novels
2018: 192 books for $1330.92, average of $6.93 per book, BUT, 
             Of these books, 48 are actual books, 135 are graphic novels
2017: 83 books for $691.88, average of $8.34 per book
2016: 57 books for $409.91, average of $7.19 per book 
2015: 90 books for $1007.65, average of $11.20 per book
2014: 80 books for $813.24, average of $10.17 per book
2013: 59 books for $557.39, average of $9.45 per book

WAAAAAY less books, and WAAAAAY less cost....thanks to COVID-19.

Average number books bought per month: 3.08
Average number books read per month: 3.33
So finally I read more books than I bought in a year!
*********************
Now, the slutty section (Skim passed this section if you're not interested)

Number of times I had sex:
2020: 72 (thanks COVID) 
2019: 120
2018: 122
2017: 101
2016: 80
2015: 78
2014: 74

Number of different sex partners:
2020: 27 (thanks COVID)
2019: 40
2018: 30
2017: 37
2016: 22
2015: 28
2014: 22

Number of brand new, never been with before, partners:
2020: 13Encounters (thanks COVID)
2019: 23
2018: 17
2017: 27
2016: 15
2015: 14
2014: 9

My most regular partner is, as has been the case ever since I started tracking that, Derick. accounting for 4% of my yearly partner total.

Due to the lower numbers on all these cases, there isn't any other 'slutty incidentals' other than one day in January where I had sex with two guys, separately, on the same day.  That's it.
 

Average number of times per month I had sex: 6

And that's 2020 in stats.  Hope your 2020 wasn't too horrid.
