Gordon: Linda, I have the biggest crush on you. You're beautiful,
intelligent and you have a great sense of humour.

Linda: Yeah, whatever. I gotta go.

Jesus. You figure she could of been a bit gracious about it, eg., You're
really sweet, Gordon, but I'm seeing someone else, or, You're an awesome
guy, Gordon, but you're just not my type, or, You're really cool, Gordon,
but I just don't see a future with a guy who's into progressive metal. Ouch.

No, that would be worse.

(Last time I got rejected was in a way that made her seem more attractive.
That rather sucked.)

Console yourself that the response could have been a lot worse, eg,

"Which part of I have to wash my hair didn't you understand?"
"I already gave to charity this week".
"I don't do bestiality".

etc :-)

That response would have ended my crush *real* fast.

Next.

Actually, he wasn't. He was too busy. He was in Washington being on Dubya's
side in the war.

You're right. Her being so totally un-gracious really turned me off.

That's exactly what happened. I was really put off by her total lack of
sensitivity. Not only that, earlier in the conversation, I told her that
Brigitte had died. She knew Brigitte and I was expecting her to say
something like, Oh, no, Gordon, I'm so sorry to hear that. Brigitte was a
great dog and I know she meant a lot to you. That must have been a very
difficult and sad time for you. But what she *actually* said was:

Uh.

Fuck her, she's a ditch pig.

I disagree. Better to have fucked and lost, as they say.

Hey, Mike, what gives? Here I was thinking we were mates and now you're
calling me a wanker. That hurts me far more than that bint rejecting me.

Oh, I see. It wasn't directed at me personally. That's cool. Good luck in
your entreprenerial (sp?) endeavor. And as far as wanking goes, I've removed
Linda from my list of chicks to think about while wanking. She doesn't
deserve to be on it, the ungracious cow.

Glad you like it. You might want to check out BF's latest book, Virtual
Clearcut.

Thanks for saying that, but now I'm faced with a major task - finding
someone to replace Linda on my list of chicks to think about while wanking.
I've got to go through weeks and weeks of interviews before I make a
decision. The good news is I've got Keira Knightley penned in for 10:30
tomorrow morning and I'm reasonabley confident that she'll make the final
five.

I should tell you that I haven't actually read it yet myself. But the
reviews have been good.

Hey, I've got an idea. Get her on here and let's hear *her* side
of the story. I, personally, would love to hear why she had
the hideously bad judgement to blow off a class act like yourself.

Actually, I really am. It was like a light switch being turned off. I
instantly lost interest because of her complete lack of sensitivity and
common courtesy.

Sorry, Stevie. I'm not gonna take the bait this time.

Placing all the value on her? What kind of man does that make you?

Absolutely. She probably hears that stuff from men all the time.

At least she's not stringing you along.

And why would you wanna be talking music with her in the first place?
That's what your buddy's are for (and is that what you wanted her to
be, a buddy?)Heck, I have no idea what half the chicks I hook up with
listen to. Could be Britney Aguilera for all I care!

But I'm sorry to hear that you think you got rejected, for that never
happens to me. I only discover whether or not a woman has good taste.
