Well, it's 5:30 in the morning and of course, I'm still up so I thought I'd write a little something to see if I could bore myself to sleep. I think I'll just share a silly story that I happened to remember today that made me laugh. It's probably one of those things where you "had to be there" but I don't care. I'm telling it anyway.
I must have been about 20 when my roommate Ann, my friend Mary Ann, and my cousin Mark decided to go see a movie. My crush at the time, Steve, was over at our place and although he had a double date with his roommate (Todd), his roommate's girlfriend, and her friend, he didn't want to go because he wasn't interested in her so he blew off the date and came to the movie with us instead. When the movie was over the five us went into the lobby and immediately ran into Todd, his girfriend, and the girl Steve had stood up. We all just kind of froze in place and the two groups just stared at each other. This lasted for about 10 seconds when Steve just up and ran. I'm not kidding. While we were all still standing there with our mouths wide open he just took off running out into the little mall where the theater was located. Steve's date looked at Todd and then Todd looked at me and I didn't know what to say. I mean, it wasn't my fault any of this happened and the girl looked so hurt, I felt really bad for her. Truth is, Steve was really just a friend so I honestly had no blame here.
Anyway, I just said sorry to Todd and then we left while the three of them went into the movie. We go out into the little mall and looked around and we couldn't find Steve. So I told Mark to go into the men's room to see if he was in there. Mark goes in and apparently there was only one person in one of the stalls. Since he could only see a pair of feet Mark called out to him.
Mark: Steve?
Steve: Yeah?
Mark: You can come out now.
Steve: What do you mean?
Mark: The coast is clear.
At this point the stall door opens and it's a completely different (and somwhat confused looking) guy. Mark's face turns bright red and he turns around and runs out of the Men's room and almost knocks us down. Mark is sputtering and laughing, trying to tell us what happened when Steve #2 comes out and asks what our problem is. I explained to him as best as I could between laughing my ass off and trying to hide my cousin behind me so he wouldn't get his ass kicked. So, fake Steve finally walks off and then we decide to leave before anything else crazy can happen. Then we realize, we still don't know where the hell Steve is.
We left the building and started walking towards the car when the asshole comes out of the alley. He had been there the whole time waiting for us to come out while making sure he could hide from Todd and the two girls. We took him home and that was that.
Oh well, at least my crush was cured.
