A Fun Date-That-Never-Was with Long Hair

So, on our last date, Long Hair insisted on buying me ice cream at some point because my birthday was coming up.

Yesterday I was at work and one of my co-workers sent out an e-mail that said that Baskin Robbins was selling ice cream for 31 cents a scoop all day for some kind of charity. Now, I thought this could be a fun coincidence, so I called up Long Hair.

I got her voice mail and left her this message, "N___, I have the most important thing ever to tell you! This could change the fate of our lives forever! I received word today...that Baskin Robbins is selling ice cream today only for 31 cents a scoop. Call me if you get this message in time...You might get off the hook cheap!"

No reply that night.

Today I get off work and I get a call from her on the way home. She thanked me for the call and for "watching her back for ice cream alerts." We chatted for a few minutes while I finished walking home. It was a fun little experience.

So, moral of the story: Be fun. Don't take things too seriously. Be spontaneous. Trust your first instincts.

PS: Long Hair will be out of town this weekend, so I probably won't be writing about her for a bit.
