what have i become?

bday

i realize i really need to update my LJ with info about vegas because apparently what happens in vegas does not stay in vegas.

meaning: there is this guy (there were a few, I suppose, I can’t remember all of them)– 22 yr old kid with spikey hair–we’ll call him Spike–I won’t go into the details right now but we were drunk, we hung out, he kissed me, but I dont remember that part. I said goodbye to him and escorted him out the door, but I dont remember that either. I told him I’d call him. Also don’t remember.

Long story short, next day, he’s calling and texting me. Like all day long. Which is so confusing bc isnt the standard protocol you meet some dude in a spring break like environment and that’s that?

but it gets better. yesterday, he asked me for my myspace acct. Then proceeded to give me all the info on him that I would ever need to google him until inifinity (name, email, etc…god kids, do not give this much info out ever). I was busy at work with hectic deadlines, but had to stall him long enough to make a fake email account, then a fake myspace acct. Then get my coworker to make a fake myspace acct so Id have at least 1 friend, etc etc etc.

See, the thing is, while in vegas, I told everyone (or let everyone believe) that it was my 21st bday. I have no idea if this guy knows Im lying, but its too late to turn back now. I can’t just tell him that I’m 7 fucking years older than him. I mean, I only lied bc I thought Id never hear/see him again.

Still, I confess, that this is so so so very amusing. He is everything that boys are at 22 – young, idealistic, cocky, strangely sweet and surprisingly intelligent. I totally feel like a child predator for keeping up this whole farse, but I can’t help it. It’s not like I’m going to make him fall in love with me, meet him in some dark alley, and then abduct him. I mean, I’m thinking back to when I was 22. And I met some guy. I don’t ever remember them following up. Like I said, its so intersting/amusing to me on so many levels…like a science experiment.

sidenote: I had a dream last night that was incredibly vivid. In one part, me and the fam were in Spring, Texas, on our way to pick up some drycleaning. We pulled over, got the drycleaning, argued over the clothes bc my mom wanted to throw a lot of them away. I kept saying, “no, no, I’m keeping this, I’m keeping this. It’s still good.”

Finally, I won out, and I took the drycleaned clothes and hung them up on the surrounding trees so they could dry. All of a sudden we were outdoors in this strange forest where the sun was setting. I looked over to the side, where my brother was reclining in a lounge chair, and noticed the sky was an insanely vivid liquid orange-pink. It made the grass glow green so that it felt like I was on another planet or in another world.

I grabbed my camera and turned to my sister. “Isn’t this the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?” Then I saw my dad. Sitting next to my brother. Smiling at me and enjoying the beautiful sunset just as I was.
