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.
