stood up
What's up girl?
He stood me up again...
Again?
Mmm-hmm...
Well what's up with this guy? Do you really like him that much?
Yes honey, I love him, he is fine, he does a lot of nice things for me.
I know he used to do nice stuff for you, but what has he done for you lately?
I got stood up tonight. Yes, it happens even to Jimbo. I hauled my dressed-up and sweaty ass through the humidity to the restaurant, waited 45 minutes, then walked home, stopping for a chili dog at Ben's Chili Bowl. The phone message says he couldn't find Café Saint-Ex on the corner of 14th and T. People around there aren't that scary if you need directions, you can grab a City Paper, or howabout Google? People just can't say no, so they break a date the shitty way I guess.
I'll just keep thinking about the date I hooked up from Friendster this winter. It went all right, with good conversation, and the guy was cute. But I could tell from his vibe that he wasn't interested. He dropped me off at the College Park Metro afterwards, but before I could say "Let's do dinner again," he at least had the balls to cut me off before that and say nicely, "Let me know how your classes go," before saying a curt good night. It was a diplomatic blowoff, but more than one usually gets.
And I cut my workout short for the date too, dammit. I forgot the 'student' part of campus opening up for classes this week, so the gym near my office that's been nearly vacant all summer was jam-packed with proto-woofers. Cute, but taking up all the equipment, especially the bench presses of course. Just like grown-up queers. Now that the interns are done clogging the downtown gyms, it's time to migrate back to regular visits to Washington Sports Clubs on Connecticut Avenue.

Aw...that sucks that you got stood up. What is he, an idiot? I wouldn't have done that to you...I would have been there early.

Come on honey let me buy you a drink. No one deserves to be stood up, but everyone deserves something amber, red or golden served in a glass.
Oh and....
*finger pop* snake left, snake right.

Thank you, Tim. You can take off the wide black belt with the shiny buckle now.

Hmm, I raise Archerr's bid of early arrival and a drink by a dinner and afterwards...
