dating details and experiences rarely if ever show up on my blog. i've realized lately it's a shame. my and my friends' dating lives are a breeding ground (not really) of amusement.
a story about ________ (blank pseudonym to protect the awkward).
_______ is my good friend. she is normally of classy, feminine behavior, which is why the following story is so odd, yet funny.
______ had just begun dating a particular guy, and was in the midst of the deliriousness of a great new relationship. she calls me one day, contempletive.
_____: "Heth, i'm in the middle of a funny text conversation with (New Guy). he sent me one telling me he's sick, and asking if i was, too. i responded 'why would I be sick?' (insert _____'s throaty giggle). he said he assumes i didn't get that hot a grade in biology."
me: "ha."
_____: "so then i said, 'i have explosive diahrrea and rashes.'"
me (alarmed): "did you already send that?"
_____: "yes! but i'm not really sick, i'm just kidding."
me (confused): "no, you are sick. why would you say that?"
_____: "because it SOOO funny. i know he'll laugh. but he hasn't responded yet and it's been a while now..."
me: "i have to say i'm not surprised."
i'm not a bathroom-humor appreciator. so, i could not laugh with her at her little joke. but i was definitely laughing at her.
the conversation continues, she telling me about their latest emotionally-heavy conversation and other things of serious nature i won't mention.
me: "______, i think you need to ease this up a bit. it's getting too intense too fast. keep it light, keep it light!"
______: "i know! i am trying--that's why i said the diahrrea joke."
awesome.
