Look at me being so crafty! Thanks Chels. I love the handwritten look. The website I got it from has 300 fonts available here.

I’m so crafty
You have GOT to be kidding me
You must read the previous post before reading this one.
So the idiot called me last night. Completely shocked that he'd dare call again after I turned him down, I answer expecting another round of confusing conversation. He didn't disappoint.
"Hey Becka, I just got your message". This was the message I left about 2 weeks ago saying we could do the gallery stroll in downtown SLC. I reminded him of that and he says, oh that's too bad I thought we could go out this weekend.
*silence* I say, "Don't you remember talking to me last Friday? I said I didn't want to go out with you. "
*backpedaling from him* "Yeah I remember but thought you might want to go out this weekend. I can't drive my car anymore."
*silence again; me thinking, he is so random* "What happened to it? " "Oh...well... me and this girl bumped into each other and now my bumper is hanging off." "That's too bad" "yeah, I have to get me a new car, one with better gas mileage." "Good luck" "Well if you ever want to do something call me. I'll see you at institute." "Right."
I can not believe this guy. I've told almost everyone at work and the guys are in shock. This guy is either really stupid or just can't keep his conversations straight. I thought about suggesting him taking notes on the conversations he has with women so he can remember which ones were interested and which ones said no.

Any bets on when he'll call again?

I turned down my first date!
I was going to title this post "Rejection" but then thought you might think I was rejected, when in fact, I was the rejecter. (PS: Sorry this is long, but I think it's a funny story)
A few months ago I met a nice guy at Institute, he seemed normal except a little ADD - our conversation was all over the place, very random. So at the end of chatting for a while I give him my number. I didn't hear from him in a long time so I had written him off.
The first call was on Presidents Day, February 16. He calls up saying, I just got to class and realized school is canceled. We chat about how he's going to stick around campus and play some basketball yada yada. He says, I wish you lived closer to SLC so we could meet up for lunch. My spirits lift from being forgotten for a month and say, I could be downtown in 15-20 minutes. I hear backpedaling from the other end of the line. "uhhh well.... ummm... maybe I'll give you a call on Saturday and we could do something then." A little confused I agree to maybe talk to him on Saturday, of course I did not.
Again, I wrote him off thinking well, maybe it was too soon to go out with someone anyway. He calls again 2 weeks ago on Sunday. I learned my lesson about getting my hopes up with this guy, try to play it cool and work on flirting techniques. Eventually we decided that we'd like to do something this Friday since has the day off. I suggest a Jazz game at least 3 times but that falls on deaf ears. I say something about maybe going to an art museum Friday night and he starts hemming and hawing and I ask if he's already made plans for Friday night. He says he does but he'd like to go out Friday morning/afternoon. I remind him that I work 6:30-5:30. He then says, call me when you decide what you'd like to do. Baffled, I agree.
I proceed to leave a message for him the next day and mention that SLC has a gallery walk that might be fun - walk around and see the local art galleries. He calls back Tuesday night saying, hey I hope you didn't call last week, he wanted to go out with me that Friday. I think to myself, is this guy just dumb or is he an idiot? He thinks I called last week to go out last Friday but I just called him the day before, Monday. Does he not remember me at all, does he have too many chicks that he's chasing and keep them straight, or does he just not pay attention??
Either way, I don't call back. He calls again and texts me Thursday night: "So, did we talk about a time we were going to plan something for tomorrow". I ignore him.
Then I get several texts Friday afternoon: "Hey- would you like to go out for a late lunch today, or anything any time else. I would love to go out with you - let me know"
"it's my day off- Can I give you a call?" -- I reply, "no thanks"
"I'm at Verizon right now- can I give you a call?" -- I reply back, "if you need to".
The conversation goes something like this, hey were we still going out today? No. Oh...can we go to a late lunch, I'm at the Verizon store. No thanks, I'm not getting a good vibe from you, I don't think it will work out. Oh...what happened? I then explain the baffling President's Day talk, Sunday night talk and lack of hearing my not-so-subtle hints for a Jazz game, and the birrage of texts.
This is my favorite part: he goes, oh I didn't hear you say you would like to meet for lunch when we talked on Presidents Day. I must have hit the mute button on my phone. *scrunching of my eyebrows and a flare of my nostrils* If your phone had been muted, I wouldn't be able to hear you. NOT you not hearing me. Freaking Liar!
In the end I was rude and short with him. He asked if we could still go out. I said no. He said, will you call me when you'd like to go out? I said, yeah you just wait for me to call you.
Normally, I'd go out with him again. I love love love going out and doing stuff, I don't have to marry him but I'll let him take me to dinner and out to a show. Where's the harm in that. I think I'm going to be more picky this time around.

Man-handled
I forgot to mention this last week. In my attempts to avoid the crazy guy at the U of U institute class I was lured to the North Salt Lake Institute class 3 blocks away from my house.
I got there a little after 7 but the class doesn't start until 7:30 - what class ever starts then? - and I sit down in a pew and read over the syllabus a dozen times. As people start filtering in I notice it's almost all girls. Total there are about 60-70 girls and the 15 guys that end up there are almost all spoken for. Anyway, so I'm sitting there waiting for class to start and down in the first two rows the teachers are talking. One gets up and starts sauntering down the aisle. It's a pretty thick and broad-shouldered woman.
It's Sheri Dew! Holy crap... and she's coming right at me. She scans the room and says, "hey guys, how are you doing" and as she passes me, she looks me in the eye. I smile. Then she gives me two hard smacks on the shoulder as she walks by.
I say smack because it wasn't a love tap, it wasn't even a pat. I mean, she jolted me in my seat. *whack* *whack* The sound resonated in the chapel. And that's how I was assaulted at my second institute class in Utah. What is with these people?
