Ok, So I was approached by a HB9 on Myspace. I'm not quite sure what went wrong, and I'd be interested in any thoughts you all might have. Sorry but it is a little long, if you feel like it you can skip ahead to the text messaging which is where it seemed to go wrong. Thanks.
Her: Hey there!! how are you?
Date: Jan 5, 2009 12:46 AM
Me: Have we met? I'm not always the best with names and faces. If not, I'm happy to have a new friend, but I'd be curious to know more about you. A guy can never be to careful these days. You never know if the person on the other computer is actually a 50 yr old dude petting a chicken in his basement somewhere.
Anyhow, what's your story?
Cheers,

Her: No, i dont think weve met, i just thought u were nice, and interesting.. and no, lol Im no 50 yr old man petting a chicken.. are you? Im real.. lol Well my story.. Im originally from Santa Barbara CA, moved up here when i was 10, i just work alot and taking a few classes at the college, i start again tomorrow. My mom is in Chicago and ive been watching her house. just me and my dog, lol... I like skiing, walking my dog, just being outdoors. I love horror movies and comedy. Ok, im starting to sound like a personal ad, so im gonna stop for now.. lol.. so what do you do?
Date: Jan 5, 2009 12:08 PM
Me: I'd think about adding you as a friend, but I'm still a little unsure. It's kind of an exclusive club, you know. haha.. I do like the stuff you have posted under funny pictures though, so you're on the right track. What else can you tell me?
As for your question about what I do... I'm an ass model, you know Calvin Klein, fruit of the loom etc.. ok, ok I'll give you the real story, but the model version is probably more exciting. I work as a Ranger for the Forest Service, and absolutely love my job. While I love my job, I don't believe in letting work define my life. If I could be known for anything, I'd like to be known as someone who has a lot going on in life, is surrounded by good people, and is living the best life I can. There are a lot more details to it than that of course, but I'm assuming you want the short version not a novel. Oh, one detail I should warn you about: I can sometimes have a sarcastic sense of humor. I hope you can handle it.
Nice to meet you,
PS: Based on your funny pictures, you should definitely check out .. (
funny web site ) if you haven't already seen it. Some funny stuff!

Her: im a very sarcastic person too.. lol, so we should get along just fine, lol.. my dad was a ranger he loved too! so what do you do for fun? xoxo

Her: ask me some questions and ill answer,im gonna stay up for a bit then go to bed cuz i have school tomorrow. k loser? xoxo
Jan 5, 2009 11:10 PM
Me: Loser?? That's all you've got? I'm a little underwhelmed.
Going to bed early on a school night... you sound far to responsible. I might have to start calling you granny. I can come up with all sorts of jokes about your dresser full of granny panties or how you forgot to take your meds.
As for what I like to do, the question is probably what don’t I do, and if I don’t then chances are I’m down for trying it. I’m a sucker for good conversation, and enjoy hanging out with close friends, especially if it includes some good food and drinks or coffee. I like good beer, wine, root beer, and the occasional martini, but I’m not really into getting trashed these days. Travel, especially international. So far, I’ve been to Italy, London and Paris, but I’m having a hard time deciding where to go next. Of course, there is plenty of outdoorsy stuff, like skiing, snowshoeing, camping, backpacking, hiking, disc golf, climbing etc. This next year I think I’m going to try Mt. biking and fly fishing which will be new for me. I’m interested in nature related stuff like botany, geology and other such awesomeness… lol I’ve also been playing guitar a lot recently, which is not to say that I’m a rock star. I also like more mellow time as well, maybe reading, watching a movie, or just taking time for reflection. There are, of course, other things I enjoy as well… but this is long already and one “long walks on the beach” from away sounding like a personal.
Hope your first day back at school was nice,

Her: early? i went to bed at midnight! granny panties? gross, umm hell no... I love traveling, ive only been to Costa Rica and everywhere i think of in Mexico. My mom travels alot though, I think shes been to almost every country.. I love the outdoors too. School has been pretty good so far, im on the waiting list for 2 classes so i dont know if ill get them. you play the guitar do you? thats cool.. so whats ur fav. kind of muisic? i love classic rock!! so when r ur days off? would u ever wanna maybe meet? have coffee? or a drink or two?

Me: My music tastes are pretty eclectic so it's hard to put myself into a category. It can include anything, ranging from reggae, rock, bluegrass, folk, world, funk, to hip hop. The only things I'm not really into are pop music and classical, and there are even a few exceptions with those. I'm cool with classic rock, as far as stuff that I might listen to often or own: Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, The Doors, Niel Young, Pink Floyd, CCR, Dire Straights, (plus some of Mark Knoppfler's newer stuff) and probably a few more.
Costa Rica huh, I think an old friend from college just moved there from Panama, it sounds like an exciting and exotic area. How did you like it, any fun stories?
Sure, I'd be down for hooking up with my new friend for a cup of coffee or tea. I will probably bring my bodyguard along though.
(there was a terrible pic I linked here) I don't like having to take him everywhere, but when your a model you do have to find ways to keep all of the adoring females from damaging the goods.
Bruises just go over well at photo shoots. haha
Talk to you soon,
Jan 7, 2009 11:36 AM
Her: so what r u up to today? working? hun, you need to stop dreaming about being an under wear model... I know its been your dream since you were young but its not realistic. And having an imaginary bodyguard at age 29 is not cool, i think you might need some therapy, i am here for you... God Bless xoxo- text me xxx-xxx-xxxx
Jan 7, 2009 11:36 AM
ME: haha nice one! do all of your therapy sessions involve crushing a man's dreams?
Her: No, only you!
Me: I bet if I decided to be an astronaut you'd tell me that wasn't realistic either =P
Her: No I would tell u to go for it!
Me: Phew, I was beginning to think the only option left for me was selling my body for crack money!
Her: You can sell yourself to me, ill even give you a big tip
Me: Deal! and don't worry I believe in providing a quality service and customer satisfaction
Her: Well thats good! lol what u doin? I'm working, and I'm tired and I have to wake up to go to school early tommorrow!
Me: I'm working on an application letter for grad school next fall. Sorry to hear your tired. Where do you work?
Her: I work at worldmarket part-time
Me: Well I hope your night finishes well! We will have to meet up soon.
Her: Yea for sure, u say when....
Me: I could probably squeeze in a cup of coffee or tea Friday during the day or if that doesn't work Sunday looks good.
Her: Friday is no good for me, neither is Sunday
Her: People don't squeeze me into their schedule.
Me: lol perhaps what I should have said was that im busy but happy to make time.
And that's it, to me it comes accross a little like a shit test at the end or maybe she's used to being a princess and having the rest of the world revolve around her. I wanted to come up with a C+F remark to her last statement, but everything I thought of came across as rude.
