so I met a guy.
ahh. faith has been restored within me about the opposite sex. sigh Anyway, it’s a dude I met at work. He’s practically the only dude that isn’t gay that works at work with me (we all know where I work so I won’t admit it here). He graduated from UCSD in Economics with a minor in math and philosophy. ahhhh. Smart dude, smart dude. He’s 25 and was trying to get into the internet business but failed. oops. But at least he tried. Now he’s trying to apply to graduate school in Europe for next year.
Anyway, of course education isn’t THAT important (but it is definitely a PLUS) …okay, okay, it’s sort of important. There’s a part of me who wants to philosphize and debate (debate?) about political and social issues. Sort of be able to analyze different aspects of social commentary. Apparently this guy can do that. I was asking him what he did in his spare time and he told me, one of his hobbies is, of course, reading. I asked him what he was reading. I forget the title but it’s a philosophy book. Extra bonus points right there. Asked me what I was reading. Told him. And he showed a spark of interest and jokingly said “we should start a book club. Let’s call it the Sharon and _ book club. (I’m not going to insert his name just yet. I’m a little embarrassed. hee hee. He has a funky name)” and I smiled and said “sure”…sure. only if we’re the only members and we read to each other naked.
hee hee. Sheesh. I’m such a bad girl. But it feels so good to be so bad. (ew.)
Anyway, here’s the 3 biggest things that are attractive to me about him. 1. he has a great sense of humor. VERY VERY IMPORTANT. His sense of humor though, is different than a lot of guys I have dated. Very dry humor. Very deadpan. The last gaggle of guys (gaggle?) I’ve dated have always been animated guys so this is a refreshing breath of air (although, I still like animated guys since I’m pretty animated myself). I would go into more detail what kind of things he would say to me (Sharon, are you in the dishwasher? ..hee hee. That’s a different story) but of course, I don’t want to bore you, especially since most of the people who read these ARE guys.
Which reminds me..on a different topic. Most guys are trustworthy creatures. I might be lucky (I probably am) but most of my guy friends, I can talk and talk their head off about a lot of shit and they won’t say a word. I just want to say THANKS right now. They do the “I don’t know shit” look which is cool. But, and this is only an observation of my experience(s), but when I tell guys stuff, it never gets back to me whereas I tell a girl and half the time the info will get back to me. What’s even more frustrating is that it will get back to me within a couple of weeks, sometimes even a couple of days. sheesh.
So anyway, back to the story at hand. Thank God for this guy. Now work is a LOT more bearable with him around. I actually, god forbid, look forward to going to work when I know we’ll be working together. woah. I am still going to quit though. I told him I was applying to a bookstore and he said “hey, can you get me an application?” so….I’m going to get him one and hopefully (most likely) I’ll be working with him at different job that we both actually like.
Strategy of attack: So now I have to hmmm.. find out if he has a girlfriend. He mentioned his ex-girlfriend today. Ex-girlfriend. That’s what I like to hear (heh, heh, heh. I’m evil, aren’t I?) but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a CURRENT girlfriend. This is going to be tricky. I can’t use the ol’ “So why would your girlfriend date a loser like you?” or you know something taunting like that because it screams “OBVIOUS!” Boys, for future reference, you need to find a sneakier way to find out if the girl of interest has a girlfriend. I think it’s tacky when a guy says “so, I bet your boyfriend, blah blah blah” I’m like rolling my eyes.
But anyway, to find out and then to do a sneak attack and kill. Of course it would be hard to say no to me because I am a charming and witty woman (HAHAHA… I’m hoping that’s the impression that I’m giving). Actually he is seeing the dominatrix (I AM his superior). The dominatrix and the clumsy goofy girl who always spills the coffee beans (I’ve done a lot…he says “you can drop anything as long as it’s not on my head”.. I said “uh-oh, now that you said that I am subconsciously going to find ways to drop things on your head or to give you….oops.” woah, a little x-rated there sharon. calm down.
Movie Reviews of the Week:
NEW GUY: Watch this movie to see Tony Hawk and skateboards. Interesting, and I mean INTERESTING cameos. A good non-thinking film to watch with buds.
SPIDERMAN: True to the comic book style of storytelling and editing. Tobey Maguire is fucking rad, of course, AND THE ENDING> OH MY GOD> Have I gone through that before. Actually I’m the queen of the thing at the end. of course, I won’t reveal it here, but if you want to know my life story, I am Kirsten Dunst at the end of the movie
and
THE GRADUATE: I can see why this is a classic. Dustin Hoffman’s first movie. Awesome camera angles, weird ass characters going on, Mrs. Robinson…damn. Now that’s a character. Anyway, this movie is awesome awesome awesome. Way ahead of it’s time.
Next time:
Mission Impossible 2
Caddyshack
Uncle Buck.
