funny

the problem with facebook having become the new blog is that i don't have a reason to read blogs with any regularity and don't notice things like being tagged. actually, that's not the only problem, but i am supposed to be doing something else right now and so will mercifully spare you. point being: lala, i noticed, i'm getting to it.

and now for the actual point of the post (i have a point. rare occasion. bust out the champagne!)

i went out with my dorky econ friends to celebrate friday yesterday, and somewhere along the line the (only) topic of conversation became "we must find erin a boyfriend." my reaction to this, as always, was to laugh cynically and let them have their fun.

one of the assorted significant others became especially fixated on this idea, and decided that not only would he find me a boyfriend, he would do so RIGHT NOW. he explained to me (more than once) that he was the best judge of people and i just had no idea. after searching the bar for a while, he decided on a guy sitting in a booth a little ways from us, stalked my number from his girlfiend's phone, and went off to play matchmaker. because, after all, he's the best judge of people ever.

he walks purposefully over to the booth, leans over their table and starts talking to his target. he then proceeds directly to the bar. after a while, he returns and sits down next to me with a funny look on his face. i wait for it. "i'm sorry," he starts off. and sighs a little. takes a deep breath, and announces, "he was gay."

so incredibly amusing.
