The Comedian just poked me on Facebook today. WTF is that?

The Return of the Irish Boy?

I just missed a phone call from the Irish Boy.  He last tried to contact me back in June when he sent me a couple of text messages.  I pretended like I didn't know who it was, and he never came right out and said who he was.  He just kept dropping hints about places we used to go to and things we used to do.  I never acknowledged it was him, and just didn't respond to his texts after the first one. 


I just checked my phone and he called me about 15 minutes ago.  Of course, he didn't leave a message, and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to call him back.  I am very curious though.  Why did he feel the need to call me?  Was it an accident?  Did he butt dial me?  I'm surprised he didn't take my number out of his phone after I didn't respond to his texts.  I suppose, at the same time, why haven't I taken him out of my phone after nearly 5 years?

He's married.  He dumped me for the woman he ended up marrying.  He stopped talking to me when he moved in with her (we were trying to strictly friends thing, no messing around at all).  Why does he want to talk to me now?

I'll go if you don't get a better offer. I love Phoenix and Pete Yorn's pretty to look at.

Is there an offer? Or is it, spending time with you. Would you drive and pay $20 for parking or suggest transit? Are you busy now? Katie's already bought 4 tickets for me/friends. So if you ask a friend, then pay $25 each, I would can use original ticket and go "free". ($40 ticket, $9.50 service charge) Gina suggested that scalp. - S [Me]: December 7 at 1:17am Offer rescinded. You're making things too complicated. If I really wanted to see Phoenix that badly, I would have already bought a ticket. Good luck selling your tickets.

Uh, first off bitch, I don't even want to spend time with you. Second, you said you had an extra ticket! I like Phoenix and I'll suffer your company for a FREE ticket. You offered me a FREE ticket, and it's not my problem that your other friend bought you a ticket that you now must pay $50 for. You should not ask me to pay $50 AND find another friend to go with me to split your FREE tickets. Also, even if we were still going on your free tickets, that's really classless to ask me to pay for parking. It's not like I begged you for the other ticket. YOU DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE TO GO WITH! I would have probably paid for parking or offered to split it with you, but not when you expect me to pay for it AND fucking drive your ass out there! Oh, and thirdly, FUCK YOU!

Needless to say, I think this might be the last of my communications with Haterface. I can't put up with her bullshit anymore.

Yes, No, Maybe So?

On Thursday, I caved in and sent the Marine a text message.  All it said was, "Happy Thursday, Stranger".  He finally responded on Friday, late afternoon.  He said he was sorry for the late reply, but he didn't have my number in his phone, so he didn't figure it out who it was until just then.  I responded with, "Are you sure you know who it is?".  He messaged back and said that he confirmed it by checking my email, but at least he figured it out.  I responded with, "Not very quick, are you?  I'm not sure this friendship is going to work out. LOL".  And then I got nothing.  And I thought, "Shit.  Now he's pissed or doesn't realize that I'm joking."


At 11:57pm, about 6 hours after I sent him that text, he replied.  "I gotta get my act together or this will end before it even begins! Don't I get some points for figuring out it was you?"  I replied, "Yeah, I'll give you some points. But you're taking a big risk texting me so late. Maybe I was sleeping?"  I wasn't, but was trying to because I was working on Saturday and had to get up at 5:30!  He responded with, "It's not even 12 on a weekend! You're taking a big risk telling me you're already going to bed!".  So, I sent him an explanation why I was going to sleep and then asked him if he was out.  I never got a response back.  

On Saturday afternoon, I sent him another text, "I had a dream last night that you texted me at midnight, or was that real?"  

It is now Sunday night, nearly Monday morning and I haven't heard back.  Now, I get it, if Friday night was a booty call.  Fine.  I gladly would have participated if it wasn't for the work circumstances.  But really, we haven't even established that that's what this is about.  It's just frustrating.  At least, I'm not THAT worked up over not hearing back from him this time...Is he really that flakey?  Is it even worth still pursuing?  At this point, I'm DEFINITELY waiting to hear from him.

Crush Update

He sent me a quick email via FB, talking about how I should be happy now that he changed his profile pic and listened to me.  Nothing more, but yet, it seemed like enough to test the waters.  I'm debating whether I want to just sleep with him (because it has been a loooooong drought) or if I actually want to see if this can be something more.  Right now, I'm leaning towards just sleeping with him.  Sigh.

ugh.

If you're in a bad mood, seriously, stay home.  Don't go out with me and then ruin my night.

Already Finding Faults

So, I think I'm just looking for things to not like about potential dates.  I've been exchanging emails with a guy from Nerve.  He says he's 5'9" but we know that means that he's probably 2 or 3 inches shorter.  That's not my beef.  We were chatting about collecting vinyl.  I said I don't have a turntable anymore.  He said, "Oh, I'm sorry you don't have one."  Then we were talking about going to concerts.  I said that I haven't gone to too many lately. His response? "Oh, I'm sorry you don't get out to live shows."  What's he so sorry about??  That's a bit annoying!  Anyway, we're trying to set up an actual meet up.  We'll see what I think after a face to face.

Now I'm Attracting Werewolves

I'm not really sure what's going on in this picture, but I'm thinking this is a big fat HELL TO THE NO.  Especially since he says that he inadvertantly killed a man when he was 19, and it's a funny story. Oh really?  Yeah, he scares me.

eHarmony

A friend of mine joined eHarmony and within a month canceled her account.  Why?  She found someone and fell in love.  Yep.  She met a guy through eHarmony and within a week, they were meeting each other's parents and declaring their love for each other.  She said that eHarmony only works if you're serious about wanting to be in a relationship.  Maybe that's been my problem.  I say I want to be in one, but deep down I really don't?  Something to ponder...but in the meantime, I'm still not signing up for eHarmony.
