apparently i now need to ask two additional questions when screening potential partners:
1- would you describe yourself as a homophobe?
2- if you yell for your mom in the morning, would she be able to hear you?
i had made the point of asking this fella point-blank if he was a racist or had a serious drug problem, and i received a negative on both of those. however, i am not convinced that that is actually the case, as several not-so-awesome comments were made during the course of our evening together. the following two comments were made within the first ten minutes of our date:
1- whilst driving by the hopkins undergraduate campus, he remarked "wow. there's a lot of asians."
2- when i was describing fells point, he asked "is that where all the mexicans live?"
awesome. that's just freaking awesome. i thought at least i would get the chance to make out with a guy with lots of sweet tattoos and is really tall and i am actually physically attracted to... but no. keep talking.. keep letting that sweet stupid bullshit vomit out of your mouth so you ruin every single chance of getting anywhere near my face or anywhere else. oh... what's that? you want to make comments about "gay-borhoods" and indian doctors you've dealt with and how weird foreign films are ("it was swedish or norwegian or one of those countries where they speak german.") COME ON.
perhaps i should start dates with just laying out the crazy weirdo shit i love.... like people of different colors and backgrounds who think being 100% straight is pretty boring.....crazy books on science and socialism and *gasp* counterculture.... talking about issues of social justice and what we can do to fix things.... giggling about silly films and how outrageous parliamentary procedure is... and folks who are smart and empathetic and awesome.... OUTRAGEOUS.
