Haha. starting out with a joke. of course im CERTAIN the only person on earth who would get that joke (in the title) is Mr. Wes Anderson himself. I borrowed the quote of course from Bottle Rocket. Mr. Andersons greatest feat yet. (i havent seen The Darjeeling Limited And the point is that last night I found myself completely blank when a cute guy approached me at the movies. I sat in front of him during the film and we were on the escalators down and he started talking to me. As soon as I opened my mouth I knew I would be a disaster. I hadn't planned on talking to anyone except the ticket guy and I was, well, completely dumbfounded. I started stuttering...thinking about the entire thing in my mind WAY TOO MUCH...As we both left the building, I had no idea what to do or say and so I turned and walked away. Not even a "have a good nite" came from my mouth. I was silent. I walked on slowly and shamefully. I BIG LOSER I felt like. I mean honestly, I dont know why I felt so bad, I'm not trying to meet anyone but I can't believe that so much time has gone by since my last man, I have actually forgotten how to flirt! Or even TALK to a guy.
Admittedly, I am lonely. I long to be in love but I'm leaving the states, and as lonely as I am, I cannot deal with getting into something to just up and leave it. And I'm definately not looking for just sex...But human touch and affection is what I miss. Yes, dammit. I do. And so I simply could NOT go home after that disaster of a:
a. movie (superbad is the worst film)
b. bad encounter with cute guy
So I wandered into my local pub hoping to see Laura and/or Brian and to my utter SHOCK there was this new girl behind the bar. *MONICA* Well maybe not new but I'd never seen her before and I thought I knew everyone. So I didn't even know what to do. My signature drink (margarita on the rocks with salt) was ONLY to be trusted with Brian first and then since he taught Laura, her rendition is acceptable. But who was Monica and how on earth could she make a decent drink!!!
THESE HORRIBLE thoughts were going through my mind. I was about to walk out and Monica insisted I try hers (on the house!) to compare. Ok So I stayed. I couldnt believe how nice she was being and I was apologizing like a freak trying not to make her feel bad. So she whipped up her own.
And well, I lied. I lied through my teeth that it was "comparable" to Brians. Seriously though, it was WAY better than most places in town but not even CLOSE to Brians. Sorry Monica! It was a good effort so I tipped her well.
So in conclusion, yesterday, although 24 miles of skating occured, I have certainly lost any potential "touch" I may have had in the past with dudes. Thus further proving my longing for human touch and affection thus ever FURTHER proving that I am going to have to get another massage today with Abe. That bastard owes me anyway since I bought last week.
Thank you and good nite.

Ah Superbad. Yes, a disappointment for me also.
really? maybe it's cause i'm a straight guy & was (am?) a loser but i couldn't stop laughing during superbad. 24 miles? very impressive. no comment on your drink trouble as i'm straight-edge. it's not that hard 2 flirt with us, just smile & we will take it from there, especially if we initiate. your admission of loneliness makes me want to hug u 4 as long as u want.
You are sweet Z. I think you need to watch Bottle Rocket now. Its playing soon in the city somewhere I cant remember but soon! I think the sunshine. That will be your true test kamakazi! We shall see what makes Z laugh. I didn't realize you were straight edge. I never marked myself but I did remain as straight edge as can be until a certain cajun corrupted me on seamester when I was around 20 with a rum and coke.
my sofa is being delivered on thursday, u will have 2 come over & we'll rent it. we can even skate 2 brooklyn is you want.
Reading old comments.. I want to see The Darjeeling Limited! I also went and saw Across the Universe, with no expectations, and I thought it was great.
