i met a friend for a drink last night and we ran into a guy i have never liked, primarily because he seemingly cannot converse with women without steering the conversation to some juvenile sexual innuendo. he is like this with all women which is why he is a lonely man. but, i digress. for purposes of this entry, i will refer to him as "mr. oblivious" or "m.o.". he and i exchanged some random small talk for a few minutes, then my friend jane got up to go the bathroom. as soon as she left her seat, mr. oblivious and i had the following exchange:
mr. oblivious: so, laura, you're looking really plump and luscious these days.
me: aren't i, though.
m.o.: no seriously, you look good with extra weight on you. i like curvy women.
me: i gained a lot of weight this summer because i was on some anti-cancer drugs.
m.o.: oh.
thank you powers that be for giving me the means to shut this guy up.
