Football Fans

One of the first thing you should know about me is I meet people on the street. Case in point: Walking home from the metro one day, I saw two guys wearing shirts for my home football team standing outside of a house. I was almost past them before I realized that a) they were attractive and b) they were wearing my team. It was a big game day, so of course I stopped, turned around and asked if they were fans. In the ensuing conversation, I found myself talking to someone who knew two of my hometown friends, meeting a girl who with whom I go to law school, and invited to a game watching party later that evening. I wouldn't normally go to a party with people I had just met, but I thought there were too many ties to let this one go.

So I cajoled one of my roommates (C1) into going with me. It was a rowhouse full of people from my home state cheering on our team, so that was a lot of fun. C1 and I both found the two guys, Austin Strait (from my home state) and Hott Erik (one that lived there in the rowhouse) quite attractive. It was pretty funny, at the end of the night Austin was walking us out the front door and said, to neither of us in particular, "Can I have your number so we can have that dance party sometime?" C1 and I looked at each other and shrugged and she said, "Which one of us are you talking to?" Austin Strait looked a little embarrassed and then said, "Well, why don't you give me you number C1?"

Ok, the second thing you should know about me is I spend an inordinate amount of time with my laptop and therefore on google chat. It's not my fault - it's the product of being at law school and constantly connected to my notes, and therefore my laptop, and therefore the internet, and therefore gchat. So Austin and I began a gchat friendship that week (as did Hott Erik & I, tho to a lesser extent). The next weekend both my roomies, a friend in town, and I met up with Austin Strait over on his side of town. By the end of the evening, a little something-something transpired between Strait & C1. And why do we call him Austin Strait? He listens to George Strait every night before he goes to bed. No shitting you. He has to listen to George to fall asleep. He once told me he spends at least 8 hours a day wishing he was, listening to, or thinking about George Strait.

After C1 & Austin's tryst, they didn't see each other again; she said there wasn't really a spark. However, we continued our friendship (solely thru gchat). Hott Erik and I did as well. Tho with Hott Erik, there was always a sexual/romantic edge to them. With Austin, our gchat convos were purely platonic and hilarious. An example to follow.
