Dodged a bullet.

Friend: I went to a party on Saturday and mentioned to someone that I work for Naked City Magazine. Some guy overheard me and he was like "Do you know Shea?" I told him yes and then he proceeded to tell me that he was supposed to go on a date with you for your experiment.
Me: HA! That is hysterical! Do you know what his name was?
Friend: I think his name was [redacted]. He got really drunk at the party and ended up puking and laying out on the front lawn... I don't think you missed out on much.

Me: Highlight of my day? When Kirstie Alley complimented me on my handwriting.
Carly: I love it. Was she super nice?
Me: Yeah, totally. She was so normal... Other than the fact that she had her assistant call up Ashton Kutcher's assistant to find out how to get her twitter name back from whoever's parking it.
Carly: Ha! That'll be you one day, friend. Oh hey...can I be your assistant?
Me: LOL. Yes.
Carly: SCORE!
Me: It'll be like when Jessica Simpson hired her best friend and all they did was hang out... And then her best friend went on to date Turk from Scrubs. Not too shabby.
Carly: Carly Holmes is the new Cacee Cobb.
