For a Pessimist, I am Pretty Optimistic

A friend of mine finally made contact after trying unsuccessfully to reach me for a week. Between adjusting to my new early work schedule, never-ending unpacking, and all the work that goes into maintaining FAPIPO, I’ve been a bit unreachable to everyone in the outside world. To top it off, I’ve also decided to take up the project of creating my own webpage.

As I told my friend about it and how the page would be dedicated to everything classic film related, he asked me what I was doing at the moment. “Watching another Rita Hayworth movie,” I replied.

“Who?” was his pretty much expected response.

“Just another actress from my old movies,” I simplified for him.

“You’re always watching those…they’re so boring. You should catch up with Heroes instead so you’ll be ready when the new season begins.”

“Well, I have to watch them so I can get started with my site.”

“It’s a site all about this lady?”

Exasperated since this wasn’t the first time I talked about this, I said “No, it’s a site all about classic films. I wasted too much time worrying about a layout that I almost forgot I would need material! So now I’m re-watching a ton of movies.”

“That’s weird; it sounds like you have a crush on her.”

“Did you even hear what I said? It’s not all about her.”

“But aren’t you going to write about other actresses.”

“Yes and other actors as well. So?”

“So it sounds like you have crushes on these people. Weird. Anyway, I’m headed to my car and then I have to rush back to the city for a David Cook concert.”

“Who?”

“He won the last American Idol. Remember, I played a CD of all his performances that time we drove to Montauk?”

“How could I forget? You made us listen to that the entire four hour drive.”

“Yeah, well he’s performing in the American Idol concert so I have to head out now if I want to make it out on time.”

I snickered. “You mean to tell me you’re running off to go see some American Idol supposed heartthrob? Isn’t that a little…”

“No, he’s a really good singer; you heard his stuff. Besides he’s got this good guy rocker image…you know, like I have (if I could sing or play an instrument). I’m telling you, he’s really amazing. Anyway, I gotta go.”

And I’m the weird one!!!
