the attack

so, after shawn comes the jack attack. jack lives in phoenix, so i'm thinking, if he's cool, there's an actual possibility of meeting. let me tell you about jack. jack is looking for someone "very attractive by society's standards" which is all fine and dandy if a) you are very attractive and b) you find shallow people attractive. i am neither - BUT - i continue to talk to him. i'm just a glutton for punishment, what can i say?
jack wants to get to the root of what i'm all about, you know, the real me. so he asks the most thought provoking question i've ever heard. "what's your favorite brand of clothing?" wow, that's profound. gee jack, i don't know. does wal-mart have a brand name?
jack asks me to call him sometime and since i have free long distance i figure, what the hell? i'm not due to wax my bikini line for awhile. where else am i going to get my torture? so i call at the agreed upon time. you know, when i tell someone to call me at a certain time, i try to be available and not engaged in any other activities. just seems like good manners. jack doesn't believe in good manners. when jack answered the phone the first thing i heard was girls giggling in the background. hm.

"hey jack, this is tina. you said to call?"
"oh yeah, tina. can i call you back in 20 minutes?"
-girls giggling in background-
"yeah, don't bother." -click-

20 minutes? is that all the time you're going to need for this other girl? yeah, jack's not worth my time. especially because he only used one spelling for "there," "their," and "they're" and that was "their." maybe i need to put him in touch with shawn so he can get a ride to school. i can deal with shallowness and bad manners, but bad grammar? get to steppin'.
