Blunt Trauma to the Head

December 31, 2007

Hi there. I saw you from across the room. I couldn't help but notice you looking at me. And winking. What's that you're reading? Oh, I love Murakami! Yeah, I'm reading some of his short stories right now. No, I can't remember what they're called. No, I don't remember what any of them are about.

You have a Masters degree? So do I! Wow, we have so much—. Yes, so much in common. Look, we're already finishing each other's sentences.

Do you believe in the Easter Bunny? Is that your dog? I love dogs. No, I'm not much of a cat person, either. They make me choke, actually.

Well, let me cut to the chase: you're looking for a smart, funny, sensitive guy, right? And I am a smart, funny sensitive guy. (To prove it, here's a picture of me in a bunny suit. Yes, it's me, playing the Easter Bunny at a charity breakfast for children. Yes, of course I do that sort of thing all the time.)

If you're looking for a smart, funny, sensitive guy, and I am one, then maybe we should meet? No, I mean meet. In real life. Yeah, offline—not email. Would you like to meet? No? OK. Well, I just thought—.

OK. See you around.
