OK, so I am going to be going out on a date sometime next week. But now I am dreading it because I'm scared of dates. I reeeealllly don't like dating. Would that I could just skip the dating and have an LTR.

He's from New Orleans. And he works for United (!).

Wow, those legs.

Hey Jordan, is there any chance of getting on the guest list for Friday's show? I wasn't planning on coming, but then I realized that I might be very close to the Green Mill that night, so I could maybe pop in for a little while.

On Saturday I am playing a fundraiser for a GAY ALDERMANIC CANDIDATE.

I want to register for socks from that site for the wedding, um, night.

He's from New Orleans. And he works for United (!).
Jesse, no! First, he'd convince you to move to NO. Then, he'd be away all the time being a hot flight attendant and not attending to you.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't mind dates, my MO has historically been to get drunk and make out somewhere. It's transitioning from dates to dating that seems to be the problem. Cue eye roll.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesse: at least you know he's not a boi...?

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link

He's not a flight attendant. He's a safety trainer or something.

He actually moved here from San Fran.

Jesse: at least you know he's not a boi...?

What do you mean?

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought bois were lesbians.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:18 (seventeen years ago) link

And Avril Lavigne crushes.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link

We should do a Thursday drinking event at Dave and Busters one week.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:20 (seventeen years ago) link

But does he still go on lots of trips?
Is he cuuuute?

How many times can we have this discussion?

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link

boi boi boi!

Just looked at their site. Looks fun.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:23 (seventeen years ago) link

He's cute. He's got grey hair, which is good. He's 38 I think.

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Have we had it before? I don't remember.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Jesse, isn't this the guy you wrote back saying how annoyed you were by the cuet butch lesbos?

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey Jordan, is there any chance of getting on the guest list for Friday's show?

I'll try, and send you a txt if I can get you on.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:26 (seventeen years ago) link

OK cool. Thanks!

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

No. This is a guy I met out one night and have already made out with.

And FYI (JMC and Laurel) in my vast experience, "boi" (bois, boiz) is a cutesy and annoying name that self-identied twinks (blech) give themselves in their screennames.

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm familiar with twinks.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Do you ever have a conversation so strange that you just have to let it go? Woman in the office that we'll call "f":

"Red hots remind me of high school."

me: "Yeah, they're good."
f: "They should have found these in Iran."
me: "What?"
f: "Sublime's color is a lime green."

Wikipedia gives both definitions.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, dating is weird.

I left one more message for that girl I met at the show, and if she doesn't call back then I'm writing it off.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

The other guy and I are still in the emailing stage.

It is an established aspect of my personality that I really dislike process and love results, while simultaneously being really indecisive, tending to deliberate forever and be averse to being judicious.

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Kenan, how does she feel about "Honey with Colts"?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

i've got too many problems, both physical and mental, for me to be dating anyone right now but dear god in heaven i could go for a one night stand.

― chicago kevin is back in a new york groove (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I had never heard the lesbo usage of "boi" before John talked about it.

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:32 (seventeen years ago) link

(the weird thing is, I could understand if she never called me back after the one night...but why call me once and sound all positive about going something, and then disappear for two weeks?)

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I feel the same way about myself. Actually, make that "to be in an LTR," but I still want to be off the market.

she probably violated her parole and is back in the joint.

Maybe that's because you're not a lesbian, and I am.

The guy who just finished fixing the copier machine, explaining to me why it took 5 days to replace this missing part:
Well, you know how it is. You can't just buy the dress without buying the shoes, the jewelry, and everything else.

Thank you, stranger, for putting that copier tech talk into a language I can understand!

So how about this weather, eh? One minute it's pouring the snow, the very next it's brilliantly clear and blue!

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, i was snow blind when i came back from lunch.

― chicago kevin is back in a new york groove (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan, Do you have an email address for her too? Maybe something is wrong with that number or she can't check messages from whereever she is..?

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

today is valentine's day and in four days it's the one-year anniversary of when i met my gf (at a saint etienne show!). before i met her i had a series of awkward dating experiences which were exercises in gamesmenship. i'm glad to be off the market :-p

holy fuck the city locations for homemade pizza co. all deliver! you can't imagine how disproportionately happy this makes me.

― chicago kevin is back in a new york groove (chicago kevin), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I know! We discovered this when we went in to get a pizza last weekend. Delivery is only $2!

Ugh, I hate this. There was that one girl a couple years ago who I spent the night with and made plans to see again when I was walking her home in the morning, and then I never heard from her again, after several e-mails and phone calls.

The back part of the Rennaisance hotel is cordoned off because of the falling ice. Not just little warning signs, but the sidewalk is closed.

― Metrosexual Healing (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

the last girl i was seeing before my gf ditched me without warning on my BIRTHDAY. no call, no nothing.

― bohren un der club of gear (bohren un der club of gear), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Awww!

I think my brother was at that show.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Nope, just the phone number. :(

There actually is a homemade pizza co.? I thought Nick just meant that you guys were making pizza from scratch.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

In 25 days it will be the one-year anniversary of when I met Kr.
