FR#30 Target Challenge
Date: 1/22/08
Time: 6:30p
I got off the phone with Kino as I walked into the local Target store. I was surpised to find it wasn't busy. I went to the back to look at some shirts where I have been before. I kept my eyes peeled but every girl I was was 12, 40+ ugly, or with a boyfriend. I kept walking around, and found myself a webcam to use for chat. I then called L.A. Tripp because I was bored out of my mind. I thought I saw a good looking girl who worked there go down and isle, I did and about face realized she was ugly so I said, "where are your scented candles?" I go back to the shoe section and see some women. I pretend to be looking at shoes while I'm talking to him and realize they are like Hindu and don't speak English.
I get off the phone with L.A. and start making another slow round. Of all damn places I'm in the home appliance section. I am looking at this Lava Lamp when a cute HB8 Blonde pops onto my aisle.
I think to myself, "Now or never!" So I say, "Oh my god, I can't believe they still make these!" She looks at me, and I say, "Lava Lamps..." I say to her, "Look my little sis is going away to college, I want to get her something not to pricey but cool as a going away gift. Do you think I should get her a webcam to talk with friends or a lava lamp?" She doesn't say anything for a moment, smiles, (IOI) and says, "Get her the webcam." I say to her, "You know that reminds me, my long time friend xxxx was asking me the other day if she should meet this guy she met on myspace a few weeks back. Would you date anyone you met on myspace?" She pushes her cart a few steps closer and says, "No I couldn't do anything like that, I know it's the new millenium and all but still." I body rock out a bit and say, "I agree that would be really creepy what if he's a serial killer or something. On the other hand what if its her true love?" She says back without hesitation, "If its meant to be they'll find each other again." I stay silent for a few moments thinking. I know I need to go to A2 but not sure what to do. She says to me, "Do you go to school around here?" (IOI)
I say to her, "No I graduated a while ago, how about you?" She says, "No I am a teacher." I say like what kind of teacher, "Like a driver's ed teacher or something?" She laughs.
Then says, "No I teach 5th grade" I say, "OMG, I had a past girlfriend that was a teacher, and ...I can't even believe I'm talking to you." She says, "Well what do you do?" I tell her, "Well when I'm not saving the world I work at xxxx fixing helping people fix computers." She says, "nerd" but she said it playfully. I ask her where she's from, "kentucky." I say, "You're lying so bad right now." She says, "Why do you think that?" I say to her, "I'm from Kentucky too, there is no way you are." As I hit her arm playfully. She hits me back too. She actually isn't from very far from where I grew up.
I say to her, "Hey look, I'm going to pay for this webcam and gets some coffee at the Starbucks in here, you want to tag along Kentucky girl?" She says, "Well I have some work to do, but sure I have a few minutes."
I am damn near tasting victory for this challenge. We pay for our things, and we go get some coffee. I am texting Kino just about all the way through this. We have some fluff talk about Kentucky, why we moved here, and other things for about 20-30 minutes. She says, "I really got to go but this has been fun!" I say, "How can we continue this conversation?" She looks like a deer in headlights.
I say, "You got a phone don't you?" She says, "Yeah!"
# Close. I didn't feel the kiss close but I probably should have pushed it.
Final result. HB8 # Close, no pic, no kiss.
