So I made it out to Bootie L.A. last night, despite leaving early because I wasn’t feeling well.  It was also catchup time, since I hadn’t seen Amanda in a couple of months.  Hence the conversations that I will now recap for you:

Conversation 1:
Amanda: So how’s the social life?
Me: I’ve been e-mailing with this Canadian actor chick on JDate.  She sounds cool, but she doesn’t have a picture posted.
Amanda: That can be bad or good.
Me: Well, I’m thinking that since she’s an actor, she’s probably good-looking… Evangeline Lilly is from Canada.
Amanda: Yeah, but there’s other Canadian actors who aren’t as good-looking.
Me: Like who, William Shatner?… Yeah, I’m kind of hoping she’s more on the Evangeline Lilly end of the scale rather than the William Shatner end.

Conversation 2:
Me: This chick I know called me a “plum.”
Amanda: That’s a compliment.  She likes you.
Me: Are you sure?  I can’t honestly see comparing a guy to fruit as a compliment.  I need a second opinion.
We pause while Keith unabashedly turns to the random girl standing next to him at the bar and has a short conversation.
Amanda: So?
Me: So, the answer is, the fact that a woman is talking to me at a bar is a good thing, and I should be thankful for that and not worry about her comparing me to fruit.
