Thom is at Sheldon’s this weekend for their gaming group, and I’ve just been lazing about the condo. I had somewhat ambitiously planned to go into the office for a bit and then maybe go downtown for some shopping or museum-ing. But nah. Maybe tomorrow. Right. I should at least go across the street to the Safeway; we’re out of soda.
Anyway, I just got a call from Adam that made my day. (Background: he and I work together, and he also has a part-time job at Second Story Books in Bethesda.) “Do you have a City Paper?” he asked. I didn’t, so I looked online. He directed me to an “I Saw You” ad. Adam has an admirer:
Why I keep coming back
2/20/05-2nd Story Books-Bethesda- U the incredibly sexy WM staffer-shaved head, incredible smile. Me recurring WM customer-shaved head-knit cap-blue coat- U once commented on my regularity. Ur sexy smile keeps drawing me back. Care to really talk and get to know each other? Can’t stop thinking about you. Love to write your intimate bio.
Aww, how cute. I ribbed him about it and we had a good laugh… ’cause Adam is straight (though as gay-friendly as they come, which is one reason we get along so well, and probably why he set off this guy’s gaydar). I can’t wait to see how all this plays out.
If you happen to be in Bethesda, stop by Second Story and ask for Adam. Tell him I sent you. And ask to write his intimate bio.

Lord. Now you’re gonna have me going down to 2nd Story Books stalking a straight boy. And I’m a married man.
Step back “recurring WM customer with a probably ugly blue coat”! I called first dibs on Adam!
Susan, you’re married, now nesspah? Congratulations!!! And boo-hizzle. 🙂 🙁
If anyone has suggestions on how to: 1) let this man down gently; 2) express my admiration for his romantic (in a barbaric yawping sense) effusions; 3) reassure him that his prose is compelling, it’s “good stuff” that he ought to use on fellow ilk-sters (but it’s not enough on its own to make me “switch teams”–perhaps if he were cuter …); and 4) make him feel comfortable enough to remain a loyal customer–the capitalists don’t care ’bout no romanticism if there ain’t no dough (and I can’t afford to be second-job-less merely to advance the socialist cause on such a small scale).
Cheers!!
