she corrects me to "for all intensive purposes," which is something a lot of people say, i know - but i'm not making that mistake. i'm saying the right one.
my purposes are generally not that intensive.
they're normal, they're just often paired with intents.
another idiom she doesn't understand: "it's a date."
don't get me wrong, my roommate isn't stupid - far from it. she's overtly intelligent and it bugs me. she's also super talented and generally interesting. so don't get mah shit twisted.
there's a girl who tweets on the twitter, and we've engaged in some 140 character conversation with her, individually, and at one point, she and my roommate made plans to get together (i am not a part of this occurance, as i have an e-crush on said twitterererererr and want her to continue thinking i'm cool, which will be ruined once she sees me in a real life setting).
then this conversation happened:
roommate: "do you think $$$$ is a lesbian?"
me, awesome: "not that i'm aware of. that wouldn't be cool, i have an e-crush on her."
roommate: "yeah, she's a girl that pays attention to you - anyway, you sure you haven't gotten any kind of lesbian vibe from her?"
me, coolasfuck: "yeah, i'm pretty sure. i mean, maybe. but it doesn't seem like it. did she hit on you or something?"
rm: "no. but read this:"
last tweet: okay, it's a date!
rm: "am i going on a date with her now?"
me, slick: "no (holding back laughter)."
rm: "because that happens to me a lot, i think i'm hanging out with someone and then it turns out that it's a date and then i'm on a date with them and i didn't even know it."
me - just bein' me, and that's good enough: "it's just a phrase. people use it. i use it."
rm: "are you sure?"
me, runnin' a comb through my coal black hair: "yeah."
this happened again last night when some guy she knows from a previous job asked her to lunch today. they made plans, he ended with "it's a date!"
this is, apparently, presenting her with problems - she was already going on a psuedo date tonight, with the tall standup comedian who's friends with our downstairs neighbor, who invited her to come and see his standup at old chicago (jajajaja spanish laugh),* and she doesn't like to "double book."
(fyi, the lunch thing probably is an actual date)
i personally don't think it's a problem, considering she asked me to go with her to the old chicago, which would make that an awkward date as is - not to mention one is during the day, the other, at night.
"i still don't like to do that."
this would be a prime example of the ways i do not understand women. going on a lunch date, then a dinner date with two different people is morally gray. going on a date on monday with a guy, and on tuesday with the other guy, is all hunky dory.
also you have vaginas instead of penises and WTF
*a real exchange between me and my roommate:
"you want me to go on your date?"
"i figured you liked comedy shows."
"i like movies and dinner and dancing too - are you gonna start making me come on all your dates?"**
**OMG JUST KIDDING GUYS IN ED HARDY SHIRTS DONT TAKE GIRLS OUT FOR DINNER AND DANCING
