Story of my life

Let me set the scene: On Friday, [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick had a present waiting for me when I got home from work. The (poor!) student who is helping to organize the CSSF donations found (to his horror, I'm sure) another box of PORN that we didn't find on the initial comb-through last year and it was all spread out on the dining table for me. Delightful! I browsed through a little bit of it--just enough to know what's worth keeping--but hadn't had a chance to really look at The Good Stuff yet.

[livejournal.com profile] mckitterick was booked for the evening, at the traditional Sunday night gathering for the writing workshop participants. I decided this would be a fine opportunity to have booze for dinner and entertain my new porn additions. I settled in for a fine evening of solitary drunkenness.

Two drinks and one book down, I was halfway through a retrospective of Bizarre magazine when the doorbell rang, followed by an insistent knock. I figured it was [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick home quick for something forgotten, so I didn't bother to look outside before opening the door.

The person at the door wasn't [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick. It was an adorable swishy brown-haired young man in tight jeans and a teeny tee shirt. I just looked at him for a moment before I noticed the enormous stack of pizzas next to him. Oh dear. That was most definitely not my delivery. While we both looked up and down the block, trying to figure out who in the hell might have ordered such a quantity of pizza (nobody was having a party as far as I could tell), he ran back to his truck to get the original receipt. As I watched him do his charming little trot back to his vehicle, I had a moment of "This story would have a really great ending if I was twenty years younger and male."

He got back and showed me the order receipt, which definitely had this address...and also [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick's name. A-ha.

"I know exactly where you're supposed to be," I said, and directed him to the floor and dorm where the workshoppers are housed. He and the pizzas left.

The experience really hit home that I am: Too old. Gluten- and lactose-intolerant. And female. Story of my life, people. Story of my fucking life.

Heh... I only see there being one of those as a true problem, and that's the gender issue, because honestly? Would there be any pizza-eating going on?
But damn, if it isn't the one that can't be ignored or resolved!

(oh, and the porn?!! Awesome, I see a couple of stellar samples in there)

If you wanna come over to look at porn with me sometime, just lemme know. I'm free Wednesday and Thursday this week.

Wednesday would be a good night for me!

I'm emailing you to work out plans!

[identity profile] kalimeg.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I sympathize. Most of that is also the story of my life.

And geez, I hope I didn't accidentally donate my parents porn collection to you guys!! I did want to keep it.

Ha! No, I know who this donor was. Not you! But hey, should you ever tire of your vintage porn stash, I'd be as happy to be the recipient of that as I would your sweaters. =D

This is hilarious.

This shit happens to me all the time, for real. I am a living sitcom character.

That's a serious pornucopia!

And seriously, a pizza delivery guy? If pornography is to be believed, no profession results in higher rates of sexual promiscuity than being a pizza delivery boy. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PizzaBoySpecialDelivery)

Thank you for sending him to the right place - I figured Alex would put the correct address on there, but I expect it just went automatically to the addy attached to my phone number *sigh*

He did seem a little flirty! I thought I was imagining it, but I trust your 'dar.

We gave him a nice tip for his troubles.

So was there any thing good in the porn? I see you was reading a retrospective from Bizzare (love that magazine) what else. Inquiring minds want to know.....

Click the link in the first paragraph for a photo of the stuff on the table.

Missed that link. Dibs on the transgender stuff! (thats if its up for grabs :)

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No. Way. =D The trans stuff is mine.

The only parts I'm giving away are the really awful (and often fearfully hateful) paperback novels.

[identity profile] jimmy-hollaman.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn, denied! :P


woof, i remember the hatefull paperback novels. thos are some times almost more than i can handle. (and i can usually stand any thing....)

Their portrayals of homosexuals are abominable, and bisexuals are worse. Fetishists are deeply disturbed, and anyone who wants anything other than American Pie Married Sex either ends up miserable or realizes the error of his/her ways and finds the straight and narrow path.

Ugh. Just ugh.

yep, thats them alright. I have read only 2 of that style and loathed every minute of it....
