Any Random Leslie Will Do

Last night my cellie rings and I don't recognize the number, but it's local, so I answer it anyway. It's a man's voice and he says, Leslie? I say, hello. He says, Do you know who this is? I HATE THAT! I'm like, uh, no. He says, this is John. Okay, hi John.

I am racking my brain trying to figure out who the hell John is. I'm on a few dating sites, I've got a guy coming in to paint part of the house, I've got snotty attitude candidates who call me on my cell phone all the time - this "John" could be anyone!

So, we chat awkwardly for about 4 or 5 minutes. And he's talking to me as if we spoke just yesterday. He then says, so was your date on Saturday night a "love match". I didn't have a date on Saturday night. He says, that's what you told me when we were out on Friday night. I was at a concert on Friday night. Is this Leslie ____? No, it's not! HA HA HA!

Long story short, I must have given this guy my phone number a long time ago and we never ended up going out...but THEN! He tries to make it into a DATE CALL! I'm like, uh uh - you called me by mistake buddy!

Then, he claims it must have been me who dumped him. I'm like, I don't even remember who the hell you are - much less do I remember dumping you! Seriously! What are the odds?

Concert - the Wreckers

I dragged my friend Megan with me to see this country duo, the Wreckers, perform on Friday night. Hence I was not out on a date with some random John. Random John...makes me sound like a hooker. Anyway, the concert was okay, but the people watching was the BEST!

There were quite a number of underage kids in there and one girl, if she was 21 I'm freaking Oprah Winfrey, was being held up by 2 bouncers as she puked into a trash bin. Poor thing. But seriously, it's not like we were at the type of concert where you would get hammered. I'm so old.

We finally get a table and chairs to sit at and we have prime view of the audience and a so-so view of the concert...and along walks in my Flaky Friend who dumped me on my birthday! I seriously can't believe it. I wanted to go up and say something to her, but didn't want to deal with drama and excuses and I didn't want to ruin my night either. So much for not having enough money to go out with me...but I think she was on a date. Her hair was in this strange up-do with two huge fake flowers on each side. She's tall enough to pull something like that off...maybe in the spring/summer...just seemed out of place in the dead of winter at a concert. But it did make it easy to find her in the crowd.
