the earth
yes, readers, it's finally here - a new date! i met up with the latest for drinks, dinner, a walk around town and coffee this evening. he seemed like quite an interesting prospect before the date, but i didn't want to get my hopes up too high. i mean, we've seen the portland guys so far, right? this new guy seems quite clever, a bit of a smartass, likes sarcastic women, well traveled, intelligent, lots of great things! he did make the mistake of telling me his last name, so i was able to myspace-stalk him. should it have been a red flag that his page background was mary-kate and ashley oleson?? maybe. but i thought i'd give him the benefit of the doubt and hope it was just a joke.
so we meet at a bar in my neighbourhood for vodka drinks and some food. for my london friends, he is a cuter version of rob johnson. and how does he get his name? i'm pretty sure that he thinks the world revolves around him, just as our ancestors thought the earth was the center of the universe. the boy can talk! i swear, this is my easiest date ever because i hardly have to talk at all. he kind of has ADD, so every topic i raise he has some tangent he would like to share. flashbacks of the interruptor, anyone? except this time i only make it about 3 sentences into each topic before he jumps in for a 20 minute tangent. he knows a lot about a lot of things, he's had some interesting experiences in his life, and he has a lot of great stories, so i let him go ahead. we walk around the city and talk for quite awhile (well, the earth does most of the talking). we swap match stories and laugh at the freaks out there. he tells me many times what a "catch" he believes he is, and i'm really not sure he is joking about his own vanity. he seems like an interesting guy, if not just a bit overwhelming. i feel boring compared to this guy! but he does cute arm around the shoulder things and gives cute kisses good night, so maybe i'll give it a chance.
UPDATE - email rejection at its finest! the earth just sent me the "i'm not feeling the chemistry but you're a really cool girl" email. whatever. i mean, what's the point in keeping me out for hours and giving me a fucking goodnight kiss? it's not like he didn't know at that stage in the evening. jeez, is there any guy out there who is not a waste of time?
