Crash and Burn...

I went out with one of the guys from next door on Saturday night and got a chick's number. Now, this was especially exciting because she was over the age of twenty and in law school which meant she probably had a few things to talk about and didn't want to go out and get shitcanned all the time. Unfortunately, the dude from next door decided that he wanted to act Irish when talking to said girl and her friend which probably threw them way off. Anyway, thanks to the advice of Holly, I figured I would give it a couple days and then give the girl a call (I forget who it was, but one of you chicks once said that Texting was a pussy way out when you first get a number, so I called) and hilarity ensued. The following is a rough transcript of the conversation:

Lawyer Chick (LC): Hello

Me: Hey, it's jake, I figured I would give you a call and see how your first free week was treating you, how are you?

LC: Oh I'm good, how are you? Did you make it to your concert on Sunday?

Me: I'm Pretty good. No, after we left the bar where we met you I came home and some people were having a party so I drank for a while and didn't make it to the concert. How were your dance lessons?

LC: They were good

(blah, blah, talk about bars and TV)

LC: Yeah, cable sounds like something that you should have at a Bachelor pad

Me: yeah, but it is just more channels to click through to realise that there is shit on TV. Unlike you chicks that love to read and watch some TV.

LC: haha, true. But, you work in IT so you probably like to read and are probably a huge fan of Harry potter and Lord of the Rings.

Me: Oh, that's where you are incredibly wrong. The last book I read was actually about the ten steps that dictators have taken to end democracies around the world like Hitler. How many harry Potter books do you have?

LC: I have them all. They say Harry Potter takes people that don't like to read and makes them like it.

Me: I see. Well, maybe you should lend me the first book then.

LC: Uhhhh, hmmmm, well, if we ever hang out again, maybe

Me: Ouch. I'm sorry, I'm used to people being fun and wanting to hang out again after we first meet. I guess I got a bit ahead of myself there.

LC: Uhhh, ahhhh, yeah....

Me: Yeah, I think that's my cue to go then.

LC: Yeah, and if you get around to Harry Potter, let me know how that goes...

Me: Uhhh, yeah, probably not.

I tell you all of that to lead in to me feeling like the dude from Flight of The Concordes after singing "If You're Into It":
