darklunaI achieved my Saturday-night goals of getting loaded and kissing pretty people. Yay! It's good to have goals.
Sunday morning I had a coffee date with a guy I met online which was so horrible that it transcended horribleness and became funny. When I walked into the cafe, I saw right away that when he claimed he had long hair he was either seriously deluded or a big fat liar. His hair might have been considered shaggy. If it were 1964! I was shocked into rudeness, and the first thing I said to him was "You said you had long hair." And he tried to brazen it out! "This is long for me," he said. "What do you consider long hair?" I indicated mid-back, thinking Um, dude, the definition is not really open for revision.
Things rapidly failed to improve. He was boring. He did that thing my ex-hubby used to do that drove me nuts, where you fixate on one tiny irrelevant little detail of something just said and make that The Point. Then he said that he didn't think he'd ever seen a guy with hair long enough to qualify for my definition of long hair.
This was when I realized that he was a recent arrival from the planet Boron, and that we were simply not living in the same reality.
But the end of the fiasco was a masterpiece of modern-day ennui.
Boronite Boy: So, I don't know if you want to do this again... (trails off)
Me (shrugging; can't even be arsed to say real words): Nnneh.
BB: (also shrugs, and departs)
The rest of yesterday was very cool, though. My friend S and I went out for Thai food in a really crowded place, and the waitress asked if we minded the corner table, which seemed odd until we saw that it was a low table with cushions all around it. Yay! If we had known it was there, we would have requested it! Then we went to Gasworks and watched the fireworks, which were nifty. Some of the musical choices cracked me up. And S gave me a cool shirt she was geting rid of!
And I think I have, at long last, gotten over the affliction that lately caused me to want to murder brain cells.
