Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

Yesterday

While talking with the people in line behind us for Grimaldi's, the woman behind me overheard me telling my sister about this comedy show at UCB I saw last week:

Woman behind me - nice, mid-30s, Long Island accent:  Hey, sorry to interrupt, so you're into comedy?
Me:  Yeah!  (Seriously said with an exclamation point.  It is 70 degrees out and I am about to have pizza, am in a lovely mood)
Her:  Hmm, how old are you, 24, 25?
Me: Hah, no no no!  Wow.  (blushing now)  No.  Haven't been 24 for years.  I'm 26.  (I don't know why I always act like a single recently divorced mom whose 10 year old son's science teacher just exclaimed that I must have had him when I was a teenager.  Must work on changing attitude about being 26, and firmly remembering that life is wide open, I am not having a quarter-life crisis, and that 30 is the new 40.)
Her:  Great!  I just think I know this guy that you would love!  He is a comedy writer, hysterical, very cute, tall!
Me: ...
Her:  Can I get your facebook or something? 
Me:  Oh, I don't know, I'm kind of...
Her  Come on, you're gonna be 30 before you know it! Why not!
Me:  (Furrowed brow)
Her:  This will be great!  I think this is excellent!!  Real quick.  He was in this disfiguring accident when he was a teenager and now is extremely cross-eyed, but who cares, how many great guys are there!
Me:  ??!

End scene.
