Blackout Boy Phonetag...
I think I'm addicted to my new blog. 3 posts today??
Just got off the phone with Blackout Boy. We've been playing phone tag since he called on Sunday. At last, tonight, we got a hold of each other.
We just had the NICEST conversation! He totally was asking all the right questions, about my acting career, we shared our dream jobs, etc. He seems like he's totally on the same page as me. And he must be tall and cute, otherwise I wouldn't have given him my number, right? Let's hope so.
Tentative plans for Sunday brunch. We'll see what happens--if I can even recognize the guy!

i LOVE the name of your blog.
it's always good when you can really talk to a guy. i hope you guys meet... even if you might not recognise him... haha! maybe it's safer to be earlier and then sit somewhere and get him to find you instead...
Pretty Polly: Please forgive that this is a bit post-topic but---thru work I was given a lovely bottle if ANew Clinical Eye Lift (the one with the eye creme and the brow gel) a few months back. It's MAGIC. I love it! So now it's running out and my current gig can't assure me a score. I had already planned to buy some anyway, but I just want to make sure to give you props before I do---if I order through the link you gave do U get cred?
Hey Spinal-Tap Girl!
Yep, if you click on the "Support This Blog" link or the link in the post below, I should get credit. Let me know when you've ordered, just so I can make sure.
Want to write a review for me of the Clinical Eye Lift? Something like one of the reviews on this site?
This should be an interesting meeting.
Are you going to ask him to wear a cowboy hat so you can figure out who he is? That would be funny.
I've done something similar to a girl: I got her number from a source other than her when she was drunk, then I called her and acted like we really hit it off. Of course, I never met her face-to-face; I just saw her. When I meet her and she (obviously) doesn't remember me, I bust on her for it, and she is sorry for being rude. That really works!
That could be what this guy is doing. Your trump card is telling him that you don't remember him at all, but you are still looking forward to meeting him, since you really connect over the phone. That's what we (aspiring) writers call "hanging a lantern on it."
It will put you both on a level playing field, at any rate. Honesty is the best policy.
I think brunch for a first meeting is perfect. There's something very relaxed and pleasant about it that encourages good conversation. I have had two terrific brunches with new people in the last couple of weeks.
Yay! Perhaps have a mimosa before meeting - I've found that I will remember things I've done while drunk if I just get drunk again. It's like I've got two separate memory banks.
BTW the date with that girl that didn't know me went really well. I don't know if that was clear.
For future reference, just what are all the right questions?
Oh coatman.... A genuine interest in a girl's thoughts/feelings/etc will get you far. "That's so cool you're an actress! In anything now?" Stuff like that.
The PUA's would disagree, but that's my perspective...
Polly: no, the PUA's would not disagree. That's exactly how a PUA operates. Read the routines if you
:)
Better watch out for those PUA's!
...if you don't believe me. I should really preview better :)
Also PUAs, not PUA's-no apostrophe. Sometimes people misuse the apostrophe...
don't they, O Golden Sun?
thanks, Horse, I needed the grammar lesson.
Oh no, dear, I was not talking about you, I was talking about my own misuse of the grammatical apostrophe in my comments. I was sort of talking to myself.
This is your blog. I don't want to tell you how to write it. If you want to write fresh egg's and All the Pretty Horse's...baby I'm down with that (dolly might ostracize you-- comment 5)
Plus, I really wanted to play on the word, apostrophe. I guess you didn't follow the link; I figured you'd appreciate it, since you're an actress.
I never correct people. That's just not a smart thing to do, no?
my verification word is nordy. Those damn nordies :)
