I’m just vain enough to have a “Diana Hsieh” Google News Alert, since sometimes I find out-of-the-way references to myself through it. However, reading this reference from an article on niche dating web sites was a bit disturbing:

“I tried a couple mainstream places,” said Brent, 39, a Westwood vegetarian who runs an online vegetarian restaurant guide. He started using VeggieDate.com 2 1/2 years ago.

“Basically the people I met were good people, but we didn’t have enough in common, even the ones who might have stated on the sites that they were vegetarian,” he said. “The people on the site put it as something that they liked rather than more of a definition of their lifestyle.”

Brent was on the site six months when he met Diana Hsieh — a now 29-year-old vegan from Rowland Heights who was also interested in traveling, hiking and the outdoors. Two weeks later, Brent and Hsieh were living together. One year later, they were married.

Wow, that’s just so not me!
