auto boulot dodo - left coast

among other shocks of living in the real world is people hitting on me (pretty ineptly)

at the gym (shy guy thinks i might go to north hollywood high, thinks i'll be impressed by his monetary success, and has his friend talk to me originally for him)

at a bar - this is a reasonable place, i suppose, but the (very dorky) guy first implies that i *ought* to be playing pool. i tell him that i'm not good at it and it's not fun. he says neither is astrophysics but you've got to do it. i tell him that i've quit astrophysics a while ago. he seems excited by this and asks me where i went to school. i tell him caltech. he says that he went to cornell as if that is going to entice me. fortunately clinton comes back and i drag him outside for a cigarette.

at the supermarket - the produce restocker makes some small talk about the weather. then tells me i'm very beautiful and asks me if i'm married. i tell him i have a boyfriend but i really want to tell him that i have a girlfriend.

best pickup line ever though (courtesy mike p.) - do you love math?
