Chapter 21: Angel Dust

[listersgirl]

The end of the world is nigh!

The apocalypse is here!

I have a date.

Seriously, this is a hell freezes over, blue moon, once in a lifetime, never-before-never-again event. So obviously it's a portend of vast, worldwide disaster. Tidy your affairs, kiss your loved ones, and beware floods and screaming hellbeasts on Saturday.

Woohoo!

Well come on, woman, give us details!

*does the happy dance*

[listersgirl]

I...don't really have any. :) It's a set-up, so I don't even know what he looks like. We exchanged a few emails, though, so at least I know he can spell and knows how to use punctuation. Heh.

Oh thank pete, because it's terrifying to meet someone in person before the web, now. I just look at people and think "Yeah, that SOUNDS great, but can you spell it?"

Meanwhile, you must dish, even though I'll be away. My cell phone will be working. :D

[listersgirl]

Oh, I know. We're such grammar dweebs.

>:O

Oh man! I had a list of stuff I wanted to do before The End, and now I'm not going to get to do even half of it!

But I hope you have fun on your date. :)

[listersgirl]

I know - I'm pretty sure 2 days isn't enough to polish off the '100 things before I die' list. Hee.

Squeee, date!

This doesn't signal an impending apocalypse. It's the dawn of a renaissance -- a new age of smart, enlightened people who understand how awesome you are and therefore want to go on dates with you!

Where? When? Who? Inquiring minds want to know!

[listersgirl]

Well, person, at least. :)

We're going for dinner on Saturday, and he's someone that Steph set me up with. So actually you can blame the apocalypse on her.

Wooooo!

So, if the world is ending, I don't have to pack for Florida/BC/becoming homeless, right? Excellent. I can just do fun things until Saturday. Sweet.

Details, woman-lunch better be full of them!

[listersgirl]

Pfft, who needs to pack when the apocalypse is coming?

[caffeinediary.livejournal.com]

Yay date! It sounds both exciting and tremendously nerve-racking. I want details too!

[listersgirl]

God, nerve-racking is right. I'm just hoping I don't turn into a babbling idiot. Eep.

[caffeinediary.livejournal.com]

You won't. :)

[bureinato.livejournal.com]

yay! because this means I might end up with a date, you never know......

[listersgirl]

Seriously, if I can, it should be easy sailing for everyone else.

[canirl.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! :)

Well the way things are going on this side of the pond, I might be glad of the apocalypse.

You've just made me realize that I've hardly gone on any dates at all, I mean, like 1 with Christian the trombone player (see vestra, this should serve as a reminder that trombone players are no good...) and I think that's almost it. How odd is that for someone about to be married for a second time? Maybe there's something in this, should I go home and demand a date, do you think?

That said, I hope he's interesting and you have fun and it's all good. :)

[listersgirl]

I think it's our generation - we just don't date, in the traditional sense of the word. Maybe I can use that as an excuse as to why I have no idea how to act on a date. :P

Woot! Don't forget to shave. Of course, if you do shave then there will for sure be no venue for the demonstration of the shaving. But if you don't shave, then you will end up having the option to demonstrate the shaved bits but you won't want to because they will still be furry.

Aaaah dating anxiety... how I miss thee. :)

[listersgirl]

Oh great.

I never shave, but now you have me all panicked over that fact. Although now is probably not the time to attempt to shave for the first time, unless I really want attractively scarred legs.

Ahhhhhh!

[morag-gunn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wasn't so much concerned with the legs. If you never shave them, don't start now! They're probably good. I was thinking about the other hairy bits. And everyone has their choices that they make when it comes to what and where they shave. If you have bits that you choose to shave, then remember to shave them. Because stubble is unacceptable. Much more unacceptable than fur, in my opinion. But that's just my texture-oriented brain talking.

Mostly I was joking around. :)

[listersgirl]

Mostly I was joking around. :)

And the reasonable part of my brain understood that. The unreasonable part of my brain keeps repeating "what do I know about these things?" and latching on to every random comment made. :)

Right on sister!

[mystery-diva.livejournal.com]

Woooo! Fun with boys! Don't do anything I wouldn't do. Actually...do it...yeah...definately :)

Re: Right on sister!

[listersgirl]

Hee. I'll try to remember that.

[farpotshket.livejournal.com]

Yay! I hope you have lots of fun!

Do you think Steph could set me up with someone too?

[listersgirl]

Maybe she has a new career as yenta ahead of her!

[starfishchick]

This is one of the only single-type guys I know!

And let's see how it goes before I quit my day job, OK?

:)
