I don't mean to make her sound as bad as all that because I'm picking up on the silly stuff she said because she talked for ages about how her big brother was into grunge and now he doesn't live at home she has all his grunge CDs, even though she put them all on her computer and doesn't touch them except to look at pictures of them all with their cool grunge hair and grunge clothes.
I don't have grunge clothes (cardigans and ripped jeans) or cool grunge hair (long and greasy). I never talk about getting haircuts on here because I tend to just go in and ask for something that looks good, that or I used to bic it.
The Punchbowl Girl was talking away about some TV show she watches (an updated Sherlock Holmes - I haven't seen it) and I noticed her accent sounded a bit American.
"So did you used to live in the states?" I asked.
"No, I've lived in South Belfast all my life."
"So you watch a lot of American TV then?"
She stopped talking and her face went red. I didn't mean to put my foot in it but it was going to happen at some point. We went after that drink.
You're obviously more mature. It's not good when you have to play dumb to get the girl.

Anon - I don't know about that. We can both be assholes, in different ways.
ReplyDeleteEmily Cross - I haven't seen it but I looked it up on Wikipedia. I hope she isn't like that, it'd be too scary.
I see how it is... You're a jerk.
ReplyDelete(well honestly you deserve better PROBABLY than this one but like- you could've given it the benefit of the doubt:)
You could've smiled like you were just teasing her and given her an opportunity to redeem herself by saying Yeah well. I have a good ear. Besides. I'd rather have an implacable, mysterious accent than one that places me the right the fuck here at the this punchbowl. Touche.
I'm not a jerk. I just put my foot in it in conversation. I always think of a million good cover-ups afterwards, but never at the time.
