I'm thinking about trying internet dating. Is that crazy? I mean there are something like 54 million single people in the U.S. and The Washington Post ran a story saying 40 million people have tried an online dating website.  So that's like... 74%, but later on in the story it says only 17% of the people marriagied last year met online.  I gotta think about those statistics. If I can understand Cantor's Paradox, I should be able to figure this out!

Maybe math isn't the best way to find happily ever after, but it's all I got.

I don’t see myself being so wise but you’re welcome.

I’ve heard too much sugar gives you nightmares so be careful.

You're probably right. Which reminds me that I better be getting home. I've got a busy day at work tomorrow. I'm starting training in the loans and structured leasing department. 

Hey, tell your sis I might be coming by to look for a kitten. If I don't find the guy or gal of my dreams and settle down with a pack of kids, I could always become the crazy cat lady of Summertown, right?

[michael-campbell-summertown]

All I know that I could tell you is to not give up. There has to be a girl waiting for you out there, patience my friend.

You are a very wise girl Jenny Beau. Thanks!

God, this chocolate cake, though. It's so sweet I think I just gave my kids diabetes.

[michael-campbell-summertown]

I do too but I’ve got a while for that. That’s a lot of kids, but hey! Whatever makes you happy. I’m sure you’ll find someone.

I felt the same way when I was eighteen. Now I'm 26 and I'm still alone. My folks were high school sweethearts.  They got married when they were nineteen, had me when they were twenty, and even though she's gone my dad still loves her so much it hurts to see. I want that.

Sorry went from goofy to maudlin in no time flat.

[michael-campbell-summertown]

Always a plus.

Don't have to shave, don't have to put on a suit, don't have to get out of bed, don't have to worry about anything...ahhhh. I think I might actually love Sundays.  

Just gonna have a beer, work on the "math problem that shall not be solved", and just head over to my dad's place if I get hungry.

Are you more of a go out and do something kind of guy?

[michael-campbell-summertown]

True, but you do get to sleep in.

Sundays always seem to be a little boring. 

[michael-campbell-summertown]

Seriously don’t be, it’s fine.

She is pretty great. I do want another sister though or a brother.

Yeah, I want to have a big family some day. I'd like to have 4 or 5 kids maybe more. I just gotta find someone who wants that too.

[michael-campbell-summertown]

It’s fine, don’t worry about it. It’s not like you knew how old I was or anything, besides I didn’t stop you from talking so that means it didn’t make me uncomfortable.

Still, not exactly first conversation material. And now that I'm sobering up, I'm really embarrassed. 

It must be great to have such a nice big sister. I always wished for a big brother when I was younger. Okay who am I kidding? I still do. I figure most only children wish for siblings.

[michael-campbell-summertown]

Yup I’m in college, this is my freshman year actually its going alright I guess. I’m adopted, have a sister, parents are… dead.

I was so sad to hear about your dad passing. I can't imagine losing my dad.  He's all I have left. Your sister helped me out a while back when I was down about my mom.  You should lean on her, lean on each other.  I'm glad to hear your first year of college is going good.  I'm a little embarrassed that I've been talking about my sex life with an eighteen year old.

Pepperoncini?

Uh, yeah...I think some people call them banana peppers.  What they are is - awesome. Give it a try. I would not steer you wrong.

[michael-campbell-summertown]

Now you’re talkin’. I can’t even remember the last time I had pizza. That needs to change.

Oh man, if you can't remember than it has been too long. I mean isn't pizza one of the food groups? I highly recommend the pepperoni, sausage, onion, and pepperoncini. Totally awesome!

Kinda wishing I hadn't had that burger earlier. 

[michael-campbell-summertown]

I can’t even grill all that well. Consider me a lost cause.

Pizza delivery! That new place near the bank even has salads so you can pretend you're being healthy. 

[michael-campbell-summertown]

Or a big freakin' grill. Four years after my mom passed and my dad still doesn't know his way around the kitchen, but as long as he's stocked with steaks, potatoes, and corn on the cob, I know he won't starve.

Either cooking classes or takeout will be in my future. 

[michael-campbell-summertown]

Wow… that was a lot of funny information there, I wish I could talk that much to entertain you but unfortunately I’m don’t.

But yes, I have a boyfriend.

Sorry about that.  I'd love to blame the pot, but really I'm always a dork. My ex said I had no brain to mouth filter. I'm sure you're plenty funny when you can get a word in edgewise. Tell me something about yourself. Are you in school?

[michael-campbell-summertown]

No keep going, this is very entertaining. [laughs]

I know I am entertaining and smart and marginally successful, well okay bank teller isn't exactly the best job, but I own my own house, and okay maybe it's a shoebox, but it is mine.  What I'm trying to say is that I may not be the best guy around, but I have redeeming features and... and... oh yeah, I'm really good in bed and can do complex derivatives in my sleep. So what I wanna know is why I can't get some one to give me the time of day! Well Mr. Hotass McCowboy did sleep with me, but the dude is so far in the closet he's drinking tea with Mr. Tumnus.

How about you? You got someone special? I'm thinking...(considers for a moment) yes. 

[michael-campbell-summertown]

Al’s always have the best burgers I swear.

Right? God this is like better than Christmas morning, or winning the lottery or...or sex! Okay maybe not better than sex, but since I'm not getting any this is definitely better. I mean this cheeseburger is worth getting up in the morning. If you can get a cheeseburger this damn good who needs a boyfriend? Not me that's who. Not a girlfriend either. I just need Al's cheeseburger and fries and a big piece of that chocolate cake.

I think I might be talking too much, huh? 

[michael-campbell-summertown]

I knew I smelled something funny! But I don’t judge so you’re fine.

I’m right behind ya, let’s go!

YAAYY!
