"Pink (South Beach Remix)" by Aerosmith

So I was hit on by a gay guy for the first time in my life yesterday. I walked into the elevator with Eric Chen wearing my thrift-store-esque, but-actually-from-Urban-Outfitters dark green corduroy blazer, and this guy turns to me and goes, "I like your jacket." So I'm like whatever and go, "Oh. Thanks." I don't really think anything about it. Then, when we reach the ground floor and as we're leaving the elevator, the guy drops this bomb:

"I wanted to get a pink one just like it."

At that point I knew. Why else would he slip me the pink bomb except to let me know, "Hey, buddy, I'm gay, how about you?" I kind of laughed nervously and left. I've never had a gay guy flirt with me or hit on me or even talk to me approvingly before. I know now that that jacket is, if not gay, then at least metrosexual, or as Eric might say, metrocurious.

The moral: shopping at Urban Outfitters not only turns you into a sell-out and is a total rip-off, it can also get you attention from gay guys. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The gay guys part, I mean. Everything is wrong with selling out and getting ripped off.

He probably found out you were a porn star.

NR: being a sell out is a small price to pay for looking good. (Dark green corduroy sounds good)(post a pic!). But then females have other genes, we sell fast for clothes (and before you judge me, I sell even faster for books. But hey, why not have both!).

Ben: :DDDDDDD

maybe that guy was the one you were talking to on the internet. He's been stalking you for some time, I would call the police...

That just goes to show you: Urban Outfitters = Gay.
How could you shop there anyway?! You just went down a notch in my book, that puts you at notch 1. =P

PS Eris *is* gay so don't listen to him. =D
