So I’m watching “My Boys,” which is surprisingly good for a half-hour TBS original series: premise female sportswriter has all male friends. It’s actually quite cute and has good dialogue. As a girl who grew up being one of the guys, and yet reveling in some of my girliness, I find much of it very realistic. Except she’s totally into sports and I’ve never been a tomboy.

Anyway, I thought this line was perfect:

“So you gave your number to a guy you were not remotely interested in, and then YOU called HIM and asked him out?”

I think Brenty has probably said extremely similar things to me.

On second thought, lets go to the AIM log.

Just Rachel 129: i’m going out with [nice] Libertarian boy again tomorrow night
NascentIgnorance: i was going to ask about that
NascentIgnorance: but figured no news is good news
Just Rachel 129: no, no news is technically bad news, in the sense that i’m pretty sure he’s too nice for me
NascentIgnorance: oh right
NascentIgnorance: he doesn’t treat you badly or make believe that he doesn’t like you
Just Rachel 129: well hey, at least i’m going out with him again
Just Rachel 129: and giving him a chance to prove that he can be emotionally manipulative and infuriating
Just Rachel 129: plus his voice kind of annoys me, it’s too enthusiastic
NascentIgnorance: oh you need something droll and fatigued
NascentIgnorance: you should ask this guy if [way too inappropriatete]
NascentIgnorance: maybe then that’ll get something going
Just Rachel 129: it’s too late; he already calls me before midnight and wants to hold my hand in public
NascentIgnorance: well what do you expect?
NascentIgnorance: you went out with him because he reads the economist and probably voted for badnarik
