Ahoy dear readers, this past Saturday morning I was drinking coffee and sitting on my computer, like any good nerd would do and what did I receive, but an IM from an interesting young lady, now I think I will let the conversation speak for itself...
[9:11:46 am]creepyginger:ginger beard?
[9:12:24 am]w .brimley:yep. it is a ginger beard...
[9:12:34 am]creepyginger:one of us. one of us
[9:13:01 am]creepyginger:the sneakiest gene of them all
[9:13:02 am]w .brimley:ha, well, no ginger hair...just welsh blood...
[9:13:12 am]w .brimley:it sure is.
[9:13:14 am]creepyginger:both of my parents have brown hair
[9:13:25 am]creepyginger:my dad only has little flecks of red in his beard
[9:13:44 am]creepyginger:one of us
[9:13:48 am]creepyginger:or close enough
[9:14:13 am]creepyginger:hmmm....I'm also reading about a tomato aversion
[9:14:17 am]creepyginger:wonder if there is a link
[9:14:27 am]w .brimley:ugh. worst fruit ever.
[9:14:28 am]creepyginger:although, I can eat the good tomatoes
[9:14:43 am]creepyginger:the really ripe, in season ones, if they are served right
[9:15:09 am]creepyginger:95% of the produce in the US is just a watered down version of the original
[9:15:17 am]w .brimley:i can eat sauce, anything like that...but the texture, just a complete nightmare
[9:15:23 am]creepyginger:yup
[9:16:03 am]creepyginger:also of note
[9:16:10 am]creepyginger:"musicial [sic] abortions"
[9:16:16 am]creepyginger:see your profile
[9:16:26 am]creepyginger:does this mean you do like sublime?
[9:16:32 am]w .brimley:oh yes... i am not a fan...
[9:16:39 am]w .brimley:most people find that odd
[9:16:41 am]creepyginger:so much hate
[9:16:49 am]creepyginger:I think date rape is hilarious
[9:16:49 am]w .brimley: the action or the song? because either way. you're wrong.
[9:16:55 am]creepyginger:but I haven't listened to them in a while
[9:17:13 am]creepyginger:had friends in college who were obsessed
[9:17:27 am]creepyginger:but, looking back, they exhibited douche-like behavior
[9:17:46 am]w .brimley:yeah, i think it comes along with the territory 99% of the time.
[9:17:50 am]w .brimley:not ALL the time.
[9:17:56 am]creepyginger:ok...I should eat and be productive and all that shit
[9:18:10 am]creepyginger:(shit being used metaphorically)
[9:18:41 am]w .brimley:understandable
[9:18:55 am]creepyginger:bye
Now first, the fact that she started the conversation with "ginger beard" is enough to send up red flags... but the fact that she jumped from subject to subject with no transition and no true attempt at casual conversation bothered me more.
Another thing that disturbed me was the pure fact that she typed out the line "I think date rape is hilarious" and didn't even respond to my clearly disgusted response. Another point, the fact that she pointed out that "shit" was being used metaphorically, as though I thought she would discuss her bowel movements (much like I do with Rosie on a near constant basis) upon first conversation is just plain insane. Hmm. Maybe I'm the asshole, but I think I might get a bit scared if this girl sends me another message.
Hopefully I have some more gems to add to the collection soon. I just have to pull them from the rock tumbler that is this _____. Rosie seems to have no trouble. Maybe she's become a true Geologist...
