In the spirit of all those peeps who haven't been getting any, I actually asked somebody out. Actually, I asked her answering machine out for drinks and am still sitting here waiting for some indication that the answering machine was good enough to pass along the message. Been two days, so I don't think the machine was impressed.
This was somebody who I thought we were getting along with through our mutual work at the Sabres games. She sort of hinted that I should join her for drinks at some point. During a promotion that I was working on for the premiere of the Sopranos, I had to sport a Sopranos Hockey jersey. She saw this and wanted one. Me, being a sucker for bright eyes and a killer smile, found one out and she gave me a clench worthy of "the war is over" Life magazine covers which did wonders for my self esteem. Being accosted in front of any number of prying eyes is funny like that. She followed up with a thank you card with some lottery tickets inside. One was a winner for $20.00. I called her up to say thanks and stumbled through an invite to come drink the winnings at cobblestone.
So far, no response. Do I call again? or is that too much like creepy stalker guy? If it's a polite, no thanks, I can take it. My ego has withstood similar assaults and here I stand.
Like George Carlin says, you got to "take a fucking chance."
Just wished I had something to show for it.

It snowed.....or it was raining slush out near West Seneca earlier today.
The Sabres game was fun last night. They won big and at the rate goals were being scored, joviality was the order of the day. Hug and High fives were being exchanged, you'd thought the war was over. I strolled down to Cobblestone after the game & work and had a quiet postgame beer. I was on my own, but it was fun to people watch after a common goal (a win) was reached. Nothing but love in the room.
A late night and an early morning leaves me glad to sit. My fandom keeps you going, but my 42 years want to pay for it the next day.
I heard one of my own voiceovers for the first time last night on MSG -- a commercial for showtime. It's stupid to get excited about it, but it is an ego trip nonetheless.
Gonna veg in front of "scrubs" and "sopranos"
Have a good evening ya'all.
Off to Dinner at Cecelia's with people and everything
"Glee!"

oh man! When still a highschooler episode 1 came out and I made such an ad with Darth Maul on a bootleg copy of photoshop. when episode 1 came out. It was on the back of a fanzine and everything. No pocket protector could out-dork me that day.

Arena picsI don't have Matthew's photgraphic gifts, but here are a few looks from the Sabres game last night. From the empty arena before it gets started to the sea of people who got to sit, wish I was one of them after the 1st Overtime.
And then the paying customers showed
If you're not a hockey fan, it was kind of cool to feel the building alive. A shared sense of excitment was definitely present, even if it left me drinking alone.

yeah as much as it sucks, you probably shouldn't call. But that's exactly the crap I hate.... Just giving a non answer and leaving people wondering... Or maybe she's doing some "can't call for three days to not look over-eager" thing. Good luck...
Thanks guys, didn't want reveal any desperateness
Dont call again, I agree with libertad. If a woman really wants to get together with a guy she'll make sure she sees you and makes it happen...
I wouldn't call again. Although there could be some off chance that she lost your number or accidentally erased the message before listening to it, she most likely did get it. Maybe she has been busy the last two days and it would seem manic if you called her again. Maybe she will give you a call tomorrow night to do something this weekend.
