Sunday Chat with #6

#6 called Sunday night. We had a nice talk I guess, although I stayed on the phone too long with him. He seemed intent on convincing me I should move, which was annoying. It annoys me to no end that people think living in old-school Dadeland is bad. It's nice! It's quiet, it's very very safe, it's convenient to my job and my al-anon buddies that live in East Bumfuck (aka the Hammocks), and the drive to sobe/grove/gables isn't horrendous (altho it ain't great, I won't deny that).

I asked him about the weird phone call and concluded by his response that 1) he didn't think it was weird that he called someone he hadn't even met at 10:15 at night on a holiday weekend when he knew they were out of town, and 2) it was basically a drunk dial.

Now, I know I'm hot stuff and all, but a drunk dial from a guy I haven't even met?

He also seemed shocked that I would give up on forcing minor plumbing problems in my apartment to be fixed after meeting tremendous resistance and bullshit. The problems aren't that bad. Nothing is falling off, you know? But he kept pushing it. It was weird. I felt like he though I was a quitter. I'm not a quitter, damn him!

Luckily he didn't ask me out yet. Wimp. Now I will just ignore his calls, if there are any more. Maybe he thinks I'm a quitter and won't call! That would be just as well. Give him more time for beer.

#6 left a message on my voice mail Friday night. I could see that he called around 10:15 pm, which isn't cool this early on.

The message started with really loud music in the background and him shouting "Hello? Hello?" and then hanging up. It's just weird. I mean, if my phone accidentally dials a number, I know it did it, you know? So I wouldn't be trying to have a convo with the person. So I'm guessing he was drunk. I don't think he was actually trying to call me, but he told me that last Monday his friends came over and they were drinking and wrestling on the floor and messed up his place, and then I get an inadvertent drunk dial on Friday. Given my concerns about alcohol abuse, I'm seeing red flags!!
