Boys lie

In conclusion, looking for a roommate fucking sucks, people don't answer e-mails or call you back when they say they will and I didn't want to live with any of them anyway so there. Dammit.

Except one person did call back...after texting me. The douchey guy from Friday.

For clarity's sake, his name is Zak. Zak texted me last night to ask how my day was, and then sent a bunch of texts asking what chat program I use, and gave me his MSN screenname. Whereupon I replied "If I'm so boring you have to pick up a book to see if I'd keep talking, I can only imagine how delightful I'd be online."

He attempted to recover, saying that he enjoyed meeting me and it wasn't his fault I kept interesting books around - which, by the way, he wanted to finish looking at. To which I responded, "Yeah, well, there are libraries."

...And then he CALLED me. Because his texts "weren't coming out right" and he ostensibly "just wanted to know how my day was." He asked about various things in Madison (even where libraries are) and eventually said "I'll talk to you later." He didn't mention the apartment/roommate thing a single time.

I...what just happened there? Perhaps he sensed my irritation and was trying to atone for his jerkiness in some way? Yeah okay but WHAT?

My mom thinks he was hitting on me, and that from his questions he was looking more for a girlfriend than a housemate. I maintain that he doesn't know anyone in town and therefore needed someone to talk to.

In any case, I'm totally baffled.

And just for the record, he starts at Epic on Tuesday. Epic...where have I heard that name before...

Unrelated side note: This morning my mom went to mass so she can start praying for Obama to win. I think that's funny and also charming.

He was hitting on you.

I am very sad that Epic is going to acquire this jerk. What is his problem? You will find someone normal, but apparently you have to go through a lot of crazy jerks first.

Your mom entertains me.

I'm with your mom on this one, definitely, on the hitting on you.

*snugs*

That's very adorable of your mom, by the way.

He was hitting on you in the most annoying way that guys have of hitting on girls. Which seams to be to tease them and/or make them feel flustered. At least, *I* find it supremely annoying. :PPP

Def hitting on you babe.

Waaaaaaugh, really? Are you sure he couldn't just be...I dunno, uhh...something else?

I AM BAD WITH THINGS LIKE THIS.

Sounds to me like he thinks he has a chance and was hitting on you. It sure doesn't seem like he wants to be your roommate as much as he wants to continue seeing you for non-roommate purposes.

By the way, your mom is too cute ~~
