the person who annoyed me most this weekend.

vegan no. 2 and i, along with the fabulous betsy,  stopped by a coworker's pseudo-hipster garage sale this weekend. when said coworker came up to say hi, i introduced vegan no. 2.

'oh,' said coworker. 'do you live in memphis?'
'no,' vegan no. 2 replied. 'i'm in from oklahoma.'
'i see,' the coworker said. 'so this is an internet thing?'

okay, in his defense, i'm sure the coworker doesn't know about the grad school friend betsy and i had who married someone she met online and, well, was killed by him before he killed himself.  if you know me at all, you know i would never, ever date online. ever. not only do i think it's scary and frightening (see example), but i can't help but think it's a level of desperation i won't ever possess. 

but i digress.

said me icily to said coworker, 'uhm, no. we've been friends for quite some time. we met in the tundra.'

grr.
