Is it me, or when I text "I'll call you at halftime" on a Monday night (of Monday night football, of course) it generally means that I'll call you at 10:30pm? Seriously. I'm having a hard time figuring out where the communication got fucked up on that one. Apparently to some people that means "I'll call you at some point in the next two hours, possibly when you're already asleep." I wasn't aware of the misinterpretation. Make no mistake, I'm a pissed off woman. First of all, Brady acted like a rookie tonight, and I can't understand what the problem was. Second of all, I was totally blown off by NB. So this accumulates to make me a little irritable at this very moment.
Make no mistake, NB and I had been texting all evening long. No, actually it was all afternoon long... I got out of my final at ten in the morning, and I texted him to say I was done. Then I went to my post-finals party with all of my classmates at noon. He and I then went back and forth several times there. And then I went over to the Warren Tavern to meet up with some friends before heading back to his neighborhood. The response at 6:45pm was "I'm here. Your choice." To come over, that is. Yet the text at eight wasn't, apparently, enough to inform him that I was waiting to hear back from him before nine.
So I called at halftime, only to find to find that he was -- Surprise! -- asleep. What the fuck?! And his excuse was "I thought you'd call earlier. I didn't want to keep you from hanging out with your friends."
If I had known there was a time limit on when I could come over, I would have been there well before then. I was with Gina. My brother's girlfriend. We specifically went to the vicinity of his house so that I could leave at halftime to go there. Instead, I had an uncomfortable phone call that ended with him in his own bed, and Gina driving me all the way back up to my house.
Let me just say that NB does not get the priviledge of talking to me this week. His excuse tonight was "Oops. I guess the communication got messed up somewhere." Yes, baby. It got messed up with you. You fucked up, and you can find your own ride home from the airport on Sunday.
