Timmmmmmber!

I wasn't planning on posting about this guy so soon, but what do you know, he e-mailed me today, so I figured that meant it was a sign that I should write about him.  The subject of his e-mail was “Just checking in”.  Just checking in on what?  You text dumped me over 9 months ago and the last time I saw you, you creepily stalked me at the bar.  I don’t need or want you to check in on me.

 So, here’s the story:  My friend Rex and I tend to try to introduce each other to people we think the other one might hit it off with, so when he text me that he had "the perfect guy" to introduce me to; I thought, why not.  However, this meant that I had to bring a friend for him too, so I enlisted the help of my friend Taylor.  She's always up for a good time, but she was in a serious relationship; however, I knew that she would be a good decoy.  Long story short, Rex introduced me to his friend Lumberjack.  (As I said before, I often use nicknames to describe guys, mostly because it makes it easier for Taylor...for example, if I use a guy's real name, she will say, "Which one is that again?" and I'll say something like, "The one that dressed like a lumberjack when he came to the bar in July" and then she'll know exactly who I was talking about.  But if I just say Lumberjack from the beginning, it cuts down on wasted time.)

 Anyway, Lumberjack and I, with the help of alcohol, starting hanging out.  I'll spare you the boring details and cut right to the good part...the ending.  Lumberjack worked 2nd shift, so we didn't see each other much during the week, but he decided one Wednesday night that he was going to call in sick.  He went out for drinks with his buddies and then was going to come stay at my house that night.  What a nice surprise.  The next day, Lumberjack sends me a text message saying he was really sorry, but he wasn't ready for a new relationship and he would send me an e-mail explaining why.  Blah, blah, blah, it doesn’t really matter what it said in the e-mail because I really wasn’t that into him anyway.  Sure, it hurts to get dumped, especially over text message, but it was more the idea that of being rejected by someone that stung in this case.

Okay, so you’re thinking, what’s the point of this post?  Where’s the good part of the story?  Well, Lumberjack decided that on New Year’s Day, he was going to post a note on Facebook giving his thoughts on 2010.  He shared all his stupid opinions about sports and politics and crap no one really cares about.  But then it came to the part where he recapped love and relationships from the year.  Apparently, I make an appearance as relationship #2.  He talks about how the first girl totally broke his heart, so he moved on to girl #2 as a rebound.  He talked about how he acted like an asshole, came in, took what he wanted and left.  He also hopes that this girl will forgive him someday.  I guess you could call him an asshole if assholes:  bring you roses, take you out to dinner, mow your lawn, give you massages without asking for one in return, or sending e-mails like this, “I’m thinking I pick you up around 6 for dinner, catch the movie around 8 o’clock go back your house between 10-10:30, wine-1045, massage around 11:15, kissing around 11:45pm then You'll have to take it from there :)   PS, there will be kissing in between everything throughout the night as well, kissing is something you can't schedule in...you just do it ;)”….doesn’t sound like any of the assholes I know.  But fine, whatever, Lumberjack you’re an asshole, if you say so.

Now what to do with this current e-mail from Lumberjack….as of right now, I am choosing not to respond.  So not worth it.  But I’ll keep you posted…
