Do you like tea?

Right now, I think I am being stood up. I won't know for sure until I go to bed, but I am pretty sure. I was supposed to go out tonight for tea with a girl. I called her at 6 and left a message, but she hasn't called back. I also called her friday thinking it was saturday (funny story: i got through leaving her a message when I realized I'd said "see you tommorow", so I I fixed that little error with a short ramble about how i lost track of the days because I work 7 days a week. maybe I freaked her out, but I digress...). I've left my number on her voice mail three times now (two the first message and once today).

She seemed so psyched to go too. What if she doesn't call? Do I assume alien abduction? She lost her phone? She's saving orphans from a burning building while acting as her alter-ego The super powered Nose Ring Girl? There seems to be a trend of girls not calling me back. Do I call too often? Do I just imagine calling, but never actually follow through with the physical act? All I have is my memory to back me up. And the outgoing calls log on my phone. Ahhh, technology.

Do I go to her store to see her if she never calls? Should I never show my face there again? There are other markets. Or would that be childish. Only children avoid their problems. Small ones who fear the bigger kids making fun of them. Surely I am not that child--

I am that child.

So I never go to the store again and she never calls. I'll be in Portland in a month, I can live with that. I can't live with that, why does this keep happening? I like that health food store and she is probably saving orphans from a burning building. Maybe I should call her. No, no, that would be pathetic. Or maybe just small. Like a child. One who's afraid of the sun. Maybe she just hasn't seen her phone. But if she was waiting for me to call, she would have seen it. Yes, yes, she must be doing something else. Like saving orphans from alien abduction. Yes, yes, that must be it.

It's 8:40. I'm being stood up.
