seinfeld curse, take two.

17Oct09

during the rutgers game i found out that it was yet another friend’s bday and that we were all gonna go out in new brunswick after the game. (ps the birthday boy never showed up.)

we get to the bar and the first person i see is mr. new years. for some reason it didn’t occur to me that he would be there. i don’t know why – he’s really good friends with the bday boy.

now just days after my big seinfeld curse revelation – i found my theory coming even more to life. i ended up talking to nye one-on-one for over a half hour, easily. we talked about everything from music to jobs to movies. every time one of us would mention someone/thing we’re a fan of, the other would go, “i love them too!” we only disagreed on one thing – nye loves the song “you’re beautiful” by james blunt. his voice makes me want to slit my wrists.

brace yourself for the craziest revelation of them all…

i took the day off yesterday and stumbled across one of my favorite childhood movies on tv, pee-wee’s big adventure. (ps upon reflection, what a f*cked up movie. i actually called my mom and yelled at her for letting me watch it as a kid.) so i was telling nye this and he tells me he had two favorite movies growing up. before he said them, i thought, “he’s gonna say follow that bird,” which was my absolute favorite movie growing up. and shit you not, he goes “follow that bird and dumbo.” i literally screamed at him. i’ve never met ANYONE who loves that movie as much as i did. swear. we were both taken aback by that situation.

i told him that i own it on dvd and he was like, “we have to watch it!” i told him i didn’t believe that that would ever happen because as we all know, he never follows through on his promises to me to hang out.

he told me that he is going to make a facebook status about follow that bird, and if i click the “like” button, we would hang out. he is facebook obsessed, i’ve told you that. i rarely click the “like” button on anything – i’m just not that passionate.

this is what he wrote on his status: “just found out ‘follow that bird is on dvd’ and is totally psyched!!!!” about a good half hour later i clicked the “like” button and commented “best movie ever.” and then he commented “+1.” i have NO idea what the “+1″ is all about.

but i figured i had nothing to lose when it comes to him anymore, so i wrote him a fb message, “ps now the ball’s in your court, sketch.” (he was saying all night that he was becoming sketchier and sketchier as he got older.) seemed pretty self-explanatory to me. but to nye, not so much. he wrote back, “what does that even mean?”

ummmm…

so after a lot of mulling i had two options 1) i could ignore the message and pretend it never happened or 2) answer it and be honest. i chose #2. i talked to a few friends and decided to write “i held up my end of our follow that bird bargain (i NEVER click the “like” button haha), now it’s time for you to hold up on yours…”

he hasn’t answered yet. i honestly don’t expect him to. and i’ll see him again. we’ll flirt and pretend like nothing ever happened. i’m pretty sure things will always be that way with him and i. i should just learn to except it.

but it’s hard.
