here's a funny story: at siren I run into this boy I've had an on-again, off-again crush on for the last year. now even though I go out pretty regularly, I'm not a big scenester -- I only really know a few people when I go out; it just happens that those people are all about making the scene. this boy though, seems to know everyone. despite this, I think he's totally hot and interesting but somehow, we never have anything to talk about. so we're there at the main stage and we end up sitting on one of the police barriers through two entire band sets and a lot of uncomfortable silences. finally, in a desperate conversational gambit, I ask about his weekend.
Boy: I went to Amanda's birthday party. Pause Hey! Why weren't you there?
Me: Um, 'cause I don't know Amanda and I wasn't invited
okay, maybe that wasn't funny to you, but it cracked me up.
