Anna Don't Take that Shit
My best friend Anna called me yesterday from union square. "Hi Rachael. I'm just killing time. I'm early meeting my date."
"He's not there yet?" I asked.
"No. I'm early I said." Anna replied
" If he can't get to a date early he's just not that into you. What is this your first date and he's already playing games. Red herring, Anna, watch out. If he were really into you he'd at your meeting spot already waiting with passionate anticipation for your arrival. Obviously he has his head to far up his own ass to consider your feelings and your schedule. Did it ever occur to him you might be early and he shouldn't leave you waiting in Union Square. No, he didn't. He's too busy playing cool and being aloof. You could be spending this time writing songs and getting ahead in your career. Instead you waiting for some man who can't even be early for a date. You are worth more than this, Anna. Have some self respect and go home."
"Rachael, aren't I supposed to be the crazy one in our friendship?"
"Well, you will be if you wait around for some guy to be on time."

Friday night I patronized a local watering hole and struck up a conversation with a young man. After four hours of conversation he said, "You're really easy to get along with." I said, "Today."

Comments
are you making anna up?
Ill Masta Ck, do you really think I was serious that a man should read the mind of girl he doesn't know and arrive early to a date? However, I appreciate your thoughtful comment about men and their emotional needs.
Man on the Street, you need to take a reading comprehension class. I never wrote that the dude was late. I wrote that he was not early. However, I appreciate you taking the time to write a snarky comment.
Criss133, Perhaps you meant to leave the "disastorous date" comment on a different post, like the one where Anna gets set-up by her uncle.
Jimengrace, your question is not easily answered. Let us say there is a flesh and blood Anna who is my best friend but she hasn't said and done everything that I've written is she then "made-up?" What if I know no one named Anna but her actions and words are based on those of my friend Raquel. Raquel is not made up but her name is Raquel not Anna. Because of the name discrepency is Anna made-up? I'll answer your question this way. Decartes said, "i think therefore I am." Well, Anna thinks therefore she is.
