Just a glimpse of her face inside Super Flea, but I was sure I’d seen her before. \u00a0I checked the mobile\/locals features on my phone’s PoF and OKC apps, but got nothing. \u00a0Oh well. \u00a0I was leaving, anyway. \u00a0I’d sold off this week’s portion of my childhood to pay for the mistakes of my adulthood, and there isn’t much left there I haven’t seen.<\/p>\n
There she is in the parking lot walking ahead of me, so I call out, “Hey, are you on one of the dating sites?” \u00a0She either doesn’t hear or is ignoring me, so I grunt\/snort and continue toward my car.<\/p>\n
She turns, so I ask again, inoffensively smiling and cordial: “Are you on one of the dating sites, like Plenty of Fish or OK Cupid?”<\/p>\n
With a cringe, and a waggle of the hand with her ring-finger and an aura of absolute disgust, she replies, “I’m married<\/em>.”<\/p>\n “I’ll be right back. \u00a0Hang out with my cousin here for a while.”<\/em><\/p>\n She’s beautiful.<\/em><\/p>\n But then, most objectively average females are “beautiful” when you’re in high school. \u00a0Hell, they’re beautiful when you’re a man. \u00a0Maybe because they remind you of all the ones you missed when you were young, or maybe just because they’re soft and unblemished and absent the rusty armor of years. \u00a0Our caveman self still wants to fuck anywoman with shiny hair.<\/em><\/p>\n I shift from one foot to another. \u00a0She looks around, desperately trying to find someone other than this awkward geek, this creep, this weird little fucker.<\/em><\/p>\n I figure I should talk, right? \u00a0Say something. \u00a0We’re at the school off-hours. \u00a0Picking up yearbooks.<\/em><\/p>\n “So, did you get a yearboo–” is all I get out. \u00a0She recognizes someone, and calls out to them with an enthusiastic wave.<\/em><\/p>\n “OH hey!”<\/em><\/p>\n And she’s gone. \u00a0 Not a word to me, but she might as well have uttered some ancient, horrific curse.<\/em><\/p>\n She walks to her car. \u00a0Mine is right there, so I get inside.<\/p>\n Maybe she thought I was following her.<\/p>\n Maybe she thought I was dangerous.<\/p>\n There are a lot of maybes here that would mitigate her being such a goddamned mother-fucking cunt to me.<\/p>\n Anyway, fuck ’em all. \u00a0Fuck ’em all to fucking Hell.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just a glimpse of her face inside Super Flea, but I was sure I’d seen her before. \u00a0I checked the mobile\/locals features on my phone’s PoF and OKC apps, but got nothing. \u00a0Oh well. \u00a0I was leaving, anyway. \u00a0I’d sold off this week’s portion of my childhood to pay for the mistakes of my adulthood, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[45,3,33,46,89,44],"class_list":["post-343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-me","tag-dating","tag-depression","tag-fuckitall","tag-loneliness","tag-raw","tag-women"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fazigu.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fazigu.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fazigu.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fazigu.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fazigu.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/fazigu.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":461,"href":"https:\/\/fazigu.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343\/revisions\/461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fazigu.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fazigu.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fazigu.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
