Tonight’s Happenings.

carly says:

I got hit on tonight by some guy who apparently already KNEW me. Ready for a story? Do you have a little time?

steph says:

Yes.

carly says:

Okay!! So mom had this thing tonight with Reading with Rover and it’s hosted at Barnes&Noble. And she asked me to come and take pictures of the event and she would pay me for it. So it was a crazy night because I was running into people all over the place. People who were like, “You’re Becky’s daughter?” and “Hey, you work at Eastside Dog!” and stuff like that. So I was running around like nuts just having a good time.

At one point, I needed to ask mom a question, so I went up to her. Well, she was in the middle of talking to some guy. Apparently he was interested in the program. Well, before I could ask her anything, she turned me to him and said, “Carly! This is Mike. Mike, this is my daughter, Carly.”

I turned and I shook his hand and he looked at me and he says, “I know you…”

I did NOT know him. So I was like, “Whahuh?”

And he goes, “Woodinville High School, right? I went to school with you.”

I honestly had no idea who he was and I felt awful. Because I thought maybe he was an old friend or something. “When did you graduate?” I asked.

“2001.”

“Hmm… I graduated in 2002, so I’m really not sure… You do seem kind of familiar though.”

“I’m Mike Snyder. My sister is Ashley Snyder.”

Still didn’t ring a bell. Even the Ashley Snyder thing. I wasn’t putting it together. So I was like, “Well, it was great seeing you again!” and I scampered off.

Well… He kind of followed me and stort of “bumped” into me again and we started talking and he was asking me what I was doing as of late and I told him about work and about how I’m looking to play more open mics and stuff… And this intrigued him because he is apparently a musician himself. So I was like, “Oh, that’s nice,” and I ran off again.

Well, he found me later and handed me a piece of paper with his number on it and he said he wanted to get together and “make music.” I was confused and I said, “But you’ve never heard my stuff.”

“I’d like to. What are you doing tomorrow? Can I take you out to coffee or maybe dinner?” I thought to myself, What the heck?! So he kept asking for what my music sounded like, so I took him to the music section of B&N and I started making him listen to things like Nick Drake and Rosie Thomas and stuff–people I kinda “sound” like, ya know? And he was saying, “Gosh! I love your style! This is so awesome!” He ended up staying with me the whole time I was there and then he walked me out to my car and he asked for my number and he put it in his cell phone… I just kept thinking, Gah. NOT INTERESTED. I am already regretting this… But I felt too bad to say that to his face. So now he has my number… Luckily, I only gave him my home phone though. Not my cell number. That would just be a serious pain. Do you know who he is?? He said he lived in White Oaks! And I was like, “DUDE! How is it that I don’t know you???”

steph says:

I DO know who he is!

carly says:

YOU DO???

steph says:

Hahaha. That is hilarious.

carly says:

I know!!

steph says:

He is a few years older.

carly says:

Well… He graduated in 2001. I figure he’s 21 by now. He told me to call him tomorrow and I really don’t know if I should.

steph says:

Is he cute?

carly says:

Oh yeah… He’s cute.

steph says:

Well that’s good. Haha.

carly says:

Mom called me and was like, “Did that guy ask you out?!?!?!?” And I said, “Yeah… But I dunno mom… He kind of creeped me out. He was totally trippy… And he smokes and he smelt like cigarettes…” And she goes, “Oh, he does?? Drat… Well just go out with him for the experience of it.” But I don’t know.

steph says:

Hmmmmm. It’s totally your call. Cuz the thing is, if you call him, you might later want to get rid of him. I dunno if he is clingy or whatever.

carly says:

I don’t think I’ll go out with him. He wanted to get together and jam on guitars, so I might just ask him to come over and play some music.

steph says:

Just don’t be overly nice.

carly says:

I don’t know… He was totally trying to flirt with me too. It was soooo funny. Note the following convo:

carly: Gosh, your face does seem very familiar.

mike: Well, I’ve definitely seen you. I saw you all the time in school.

carly: Really? That is so funny.

mike: Yeah… You have changed a lot…

carly: Uhm…

mike: I mean that in the great way.

steph says:

OMG. He did NOT! Hahahahaha!

carly says:

HE DID!!!

steph says:

See the thing that bothers me is that he actually used pickup lines and something about that just kinda screams “a-hole” to me, but I dunno…

carly says:

No, he definitely seems like the a-hole type. He was just putting on a show for me so I’d go out with him. But I figure if he really wants to get together and play guitar, fine. That’s what we’ll do.

steph says:

Haha. Well, just don’t let him come on too strong.

carly says:

Pfft. He is so skinny, Steph. I could take him easy.

steph says:

Hahaha.

And I still have no idea what I should do or what I want to do. Because I’m really not interested. Really… not… interested…
