It's all about me

College (youthful indiscretion, don't you know).

Ex is going to be at a party I am attending that evening. I have a friend make a call (this was in the days before caller ID -- yes, I am a dinosaur) telling him that she's always admired him from afar, and really wants to meet him, etc.

He mentions the party, and would she like to come. She agrees. She tells him she's tall, blonde and will be wearing a red dress.

Well, don't you know (and this proves that the gods were smiling upon me -- and he deserved it!), a tall, blonde, very beautiful girl I know (but not well -- she was not at all in on this plan) shows up to the party in a red dress. He, of course, assumes she's the one who called him, and makes his move, she rebuffs him (probably thinking he's some sort of lunatic -- not without cause), and my friends and I watch from the sidelines. Of course, we then let it get around how it was all a prank, and he was quite embarrassed (and more than just a little pissed with me, I don't mind telling you).

Much screaming and yelling ensued, loud argument in front of everyone where I cut him down to size*, and all in all, it was most satisfactory. [I had forgotten all about this -- I'm getting all tingly now just with the memory of it -- this kind of mojo only happens on sitcoms.]

(God, I hope he doesn't read this board -- eh, who cares...)



*I sure hope this wasn't an instance akin to Homer Simpson's, to wit: "Then I slipped out of my wet clothes and into a dry martini...." -- even if it was, it's no matter, because the memory in my mind's eye is perfection itself.

It is my understanding that when blonde in the red dress witnessed the scene, she decided there must be something in him to inspire such spite.

I also understand that she was really hot...
