Just My Luck
Yesterday I was working on the Splash Mountain ride and sorting guests into logs when I saw who I thought was my friend Mike.
Who is Mike? Well, I met him through an online dating service a few months ago and last Saturday night we had our first "date." He is a really nice guy, and we had a good time together when we finally met. Coincidentally, he is an annual passholder at Disneyland, which pretty much means he pays a reasonable fee and can go into the park whenever he wants. He told me he was visiting Disneyland that day, so for most of my shift I would search for him through the constant stream of guests that were entering the ride.
So before my first break, I thought I had spotted him. The two of us made eye contact, we smiled, and he immediately hopped into his log (His part of the line was being sorted by someone else.) His log was dispatched into the attraction before I could really say anything, and as luck would have it, I was sent to a break shortly after.
I decided to wait around for his log to return, even though it would take up most of my break. I hadn't seen him since Saturday, and I just wanted to say 'hi.' A few minutes later he caeme back and approached him. We started talking for a few moments until I realized that this wasn't my friend Mike, this is someone I had never met before!
Before I could explain the mistake I made, he handed me a small slip of paper with his name and phone number on it. So, by not being able to remember what my dates look like, I ended up with a new phone number and AIM screen name.
That night, after work, I go home and get on the computer, hoping to catch him on AIM. He's online, and we start to talk for a while. During the course of our short conversation I learned a few interesting things about the guy, including the fact that he used to be a porn star.
Um, yeah, I think I'll pass on this one. Thanks for the number, though.
Edit: It looks like I'm seeing a movie with him tonight. Hm.
