What sucks about losing your phone in a cab in Las Vegas, is that you lose all the numbers. I kept a lot of numbers in my phone of people I really didn’t want to talk to so that I knew who was calling and I could ignore them. Now that I no longer have my numbers, I want to make sure that all the important people get added back to my address list, so I’ve been responding to text messages from people I don’t want to talk to, and last night, I answered a call I didn’t intend to.

It was from the boxing instructor at my gym. I gave him my number about 2 months ago, and was actually quite surprised he hadn’t called sooner. But it was the weirdest conversation I’ve ever had in my life. First of all, who makes the first call on a Saturday night? I had just gotten out of the shower, and my hair allows me a limited amount of time to dry it before it frizzes up. Which was a good thing, because that was my out. I did end up talking to him for about half an hour though. Er, I mean, he talked to me for half an hour. He spent a lot of time in Mongolia as a kid training to be a fighter (which is hot), so he has a bit of an accent that kinda comes out a slur (not hot). After he told me about Mongolia, he went on to lecture me about my workouts and what I’m doing wrong…telling me that I’m at the age where I’m pretty much going downhill. Great start buddy.

Then I asked if he did anything besides train at the gym, and he said he works in a shoe store. Yes! Now we’re getting somewhere. A guy with discounts! Then he went off for about 10 minutes on how horrible the gym is. Oh. Lost me again. Then he said “So tell me about Darcie” but before I could answer, he asked “Well, just tell me what your sign is and I can figure it out.” Yes. Everything you need to know about me you can find out from my horoscope. And that was pretty much the last question he asked me. He told me all about himself, and his sister (her favorite food is chicken and she lives somewhere near me).

So, it was an interesting conversation to say the least. Now, how do I avoid him everyday at the gym?
