We talked for about 20 minutes, exchanged "real" phone numbers, and talked about life's weird quirks.
A 26-year-old, on her second husband, the current one a 51-year-old investment banker from The Netherlands who sounds about as exciting as a sawdust sandwich. She doesn't want children; her hubby wants four. He wants her to move to Dublin; she wants to move back to San Jose, Calif.
They were fighting. So she hopped online and started tracking down people from her past. Apparently, I was try no. 15.
And, apparently, she was totally shocked that I'm now a librarian in Ohio. She envisioned I'd either a) be a professor somewhere, b) working for ESPN or having made it to network, or c) in law school.
She'd also heard a rather vicious rumor... apparently I dropped off the planet because I got some girl pregnant and I'd run to Louisiana to chase women and drink myself into a coma. Well..did move to Louisiana, but it was for...uh...grad school.
Anyway, she thought enough about it to almost believe it. I dispelled some of the nasty rumors, but, for some reason, she had a hard time buying into me being a librarian, that I was basically living like a monk (trust me, if you're unfamiliar with Oxford...I'd be more likely to find a date at the Vatican), and that I still refuse to allow Abercrombie and Fitch into my house because of its often racist t-shirt content (she thought that was just something I told girls to get them to take their clothes off.)
Alise sent me this random survey thing she got from a friend of hers. Figured I'd post it because it was sort of interesting, and since she asked that I let her know if I'd somehow become prude, frigid, or something.
Apparently, I'm a good catch or something. Of course, the survey results aren't scientific and sound like they came out of Cosmo or YM or even Seventeen Magazine.
| Your Seduction Style: Prized Object |
 The seduction game you play is tried, true, and still effective: hard to get. You know that the best seducers turn the tables - and get their crush to seduce them. The one running has the power, and you're a challenge that is worth the chase. You are a master of enticing and pulling back. Giving a little and taking some away. You are controlled enough to know rewards come after a long seduction dance. Even though you want to call, email, or say "I love you" first - you don't! You're style is the perfect mix of hot and cold - so much so that you have many suitors. Think Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's ... or any of those creepy guys from the Bachelor. You're skilled at inspiring a chase. The real test is picking the person to slow down for. |

LOL...great to see your still just as self-conscious as ever, man ;) And you're the LAST guy I ever expected to end up working in a friggin' library!
And the A&F thing is so badass! Rock on! You shouldn't have messed with those kind of wannabe scenesters anyway back in SLO Town.
BTW, do ya still drink those wierd g&t's???
Dude, you realize you really tend to put yourself down too much. I think you're such a seductive person...that's why my big sis fell hard for you back in the day(how many fuking 19yo guys get the 24yo girl?).
You're not a prude, frigid, or anything like that. You're a very decent guy with a very big heart. Don't know why you became a librarian, but you sure have my roomie's panties in a bunch wanting to become one. So that's pretty badass, too.
