Ok, I know that this is just boring now but Little Napoleon just texted me AGAIN. I am really tempted to use the "This is Rodrigo, who are you trying to reach?" tactic. Although that will spell out certain doom for my email inbox. Curses!
From: LN To: Alex
Hey. Hows ur schedule this week? Want to finally meet up?
I'm sorry but we have totally moved past " this is Rodrigo, who is this" to " I'm sorry Alex is in Twentynine Palms, CA doing some training for the US Marine Corp, before she heads to a tour in Iraq"
maybe you should actually meet up with him. i'm not kidding. maybe you should meet up with him and be the biggest bitch in the world! or pretend to be stupid, or something equally heinous/unattractive.
or maybe *i* could. did you send him a pic? i mean, we sort of look alike if you add like 3 inches of height, 6 inches of hair and like 50 lbs. i'll pretend to be a law student, too.
Frankie: Well, you already have some expertise in pretending to be a law student so that works out. Maybe you can go on a first date with him and then we'll send Sasha the next time and Bennett the next, etc. until he realizes that I am completely psycho / a shape-shifter and stops texting me.
Our first blog post will tell you what this is all about. This blog is a social experiment on dating in the Digital Age. Our laboratory is the city and our subjects are ourselves.
Mostly it's just a lot of fun.
p.s. The comments sections are often even more entertaining than the posts themselves, so be forewarned.

this pic is priceless.

Maybe you should text him back with, "I'm sorry. I'm just not that into you."
:D Hehe.
