Fireboy Meet Awesome … I don’t think so

This morning Awesome emailed me asking for my help. He wants to organize his thoughts get them down on paper or maybe make a film blah, blah, blah. He knows I don’t work in film but remembered me telling him that I knew a guy that does some film stuff on the side who gave me some links to websites that Awesome had found helpful. So, could I get them together to talk about Awesome’s ideas and what he should do with them. Ummm … yeah, well my guy (aka Fireboy) doesn’t live here so I will have to get you in touch with another guy I know (aka Fireboy’s slightly strange friend).

I offered to set the boys up for a date to talk via an email introduction. As I was typing the intro email Awesome meet Weirdo, Weirdo meet Awesome I decided it would be best to offer to host the boys as they went on their first date as both an ice breaker and a safety measure. I don’t think the conversation would ever turn to me or how they each know me, but do we really need to go down that path? I don’t think so.

As the afternoon was filled with busy making but mindless work I spent some time and energy thinking about Awesome and Fireboy having a beer together. All in all it was a pretty amusing scene in my head. Those boys have only two things in common as far as I can tell (blue eyes and a short but interesting history with me). As I picture it goes a little something like this. Awesome would be there with all his muscles and bravado and Fireboy be there with all his intellect and subversive ness. Both would spend much of the time making biting witty remarks not really liking anything the other had to say after the first five minutes. Once the drink was done both would decide other was not worth talking to and leave without much fanfare. Then each would ask me why I bother with the other. I would just shrug and say I dunno I just do. And that would be that.

That isn’t as funny as it is in my head, but if you could hear what they are saying to each other in my head, trust me it is funny. It doesn’t really matter though because it is never going to happen.

And on the advice of Jenn I am opening myself up to suggestions for online dating nicknames. Although tonight I had a disturbing conversation about online dating and am again terrified, but send away. I look forward to hearing your suggestions.
