Weight: x+16, which is actually quite impressive since I've been around the Craft Services table far too much.
An interesting thing has happened. I had my first crush in a LOOOONG time. It lasted almost a whole two days before I realized that the subject of my crush was exactly like all of the other crushes I've ever had in my life that led to exactly the same problem: the guy's secretly kind of a jerk.
Apparently, I have a type. What I call "blond as babies" coloring, not overly muscular, well-spoken, professional, educated, and someone I can banter with. Then, without fail, the combo leads to being a bit of a jerk.
Exhibit A: within a few hours of conversation, having realized crush was semi-interested as well, I discovered he was a writer who wanted to talk about studying abroad in London in front of people who didn't have passports while talking about buying the new iPad 2. What seals the deal is that he also wore running shoes that can track your heart-rate, etc, but he doesn't run. Turn off...
So is this the sad truth: do I only like jerks?
I certainly hope not! The running shoes thing is kind of pathetic. Why? Is he really a jerk, or is he just trying too hard? :(
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's Mr. Darcy syndrome! Maybe he'll turn out to be awesome underneath the jerk exterior? You may as well go out with him and find out.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the shoes were a gift from his mother? : )
ReplyDeleteI think the shoes sound neat! Maybe he likes to see how much his heartrate increases when around you?!?!?
ReplyDeleteDidn't Mark Darcy wear some awful sweater when she first met him? And you got to give him more than a couple hours. He may have been nervous!
ReplyDeletePoint for Amy and Rachel for the ugly-christmas-sweater-from-his-mother! He did get better and also promised to get different shoes, but it's hard to put into words what I was thinking at the time...much less internet-friendly words. Basically, I was perhaps being too harsh, and I relented. However, when you are, say, wearing a rolex watch on the subway, it's a good idea to keep it to yourself so as to make everyone else comfortable (least of all, YOU). Know what I'm saying? I just strive to make everyone feel comfortable. Then, sometimes when others seem to strive NOT to, I think they're jerks for that.
