From the OC to Friends
Something happened yesterday that, to me, marked the transition in my life from a period of soap operatic turmoil to one of improbably absurd sitcom misunderstandings.
See, yesterday, Anne and I were both online, looking at online personals and IMing each other links. Like, "Hey, look at this cross-eyed guy!" or "OMG, there's a no-neck with his shirt off!" Or "Hey, look at this woman, who I am quite sincerely in love with."
So anyway, sending these links caused us, unknowingly, to be logged on as each other. So Anne, being a woman, and being a Grade-A one at that, gets a lot of "winks," right, and some of them are actually from appropriate guys (ie smart and hip). So she writes one of them back. Then I suddenly get an email CCing me on the mail that I just sent to this guy. "WHAAA?" So, basically, this guy received an email from ME. Now, I'm not much of a homophobe, but I 'bout shit my shorts. After a minute or two of complete shock, the hilarity of the situation overtook any concern that I would see this guy in Meijer or something, and I laughed my ever-loving ass off.
And then she did it again. Which was even more hilarious.
You can read Anne's account here.
And if you know this person, please put in a good word for me. I do well in the offline world, but online I can never get them to bite. Um. So to speak. Because, see, I actually like a bit of biting. I mean...Oh never mind. Just tell her Andy says "Howyoudoin'?"
