Much snorkage

As he'd said he would yesterday, Johnnie called me today.  'Twas hilarious, and perhaps sheds some light on the "babe" thing

He calls me up, "to check on the baby," and we talk about his flight out here, and then he goes, "Change of subject.  What _is_ it about me?  That I only hook up with people who aren't interested or who end up being totally psychotic?" which makes me snicker.  He'd been pursuing a relationship with this woman named Misty since almost immediately after I'd left.  He was even thinking of bringing her out to California when he moved back here after graduation.  And had been playing high-and-mighty by informing me that they weren't actually dating, because her parents wouldn't watch her kids (she's a widow) until our paperwork had been signed.  *rolleyes*  Please.

So I try to keep the smirk out of my voice as I ask, "Did Misty turn out to be totally psychotic?"  *kicks heels in laughter*  He didn't give details (and I didn't ask, because it really isn't my business), but apparently she's basically stalking him now.  He hides out Invisible on IM so that she doesn't try to talk to him.  And I'm like, "Dude, in her defense, you did seem _all_ about it.  She's naturally going to assume you're serious." 

So then he gets all solicitous and starts asking me about how school is going, how things are going with Alan (which I totally played down), and he said, "Well, since you're back in school, you'll probably be able to meet guys your age.  If you can't be happy with me, be happy with someone else."  Oh, he's such a martyr.

And I'm once again getting the, "I still love you and I would be willing to work for our relationship" vibe.  *sigh*  How can he expect me to believe that, when he wasn't trying to work for our relationship while I was still there?  He's just silly.

Alan's opinion when I told him about the "babe" thing was that maybe Johnnie has finally realized what he's lost, and given this phone talk, I'm inclined to agree.  From what I hear, I was the first mentally stable girlfriend he'd ever had.  Though, he's an unredeemable bullshitter tale-teller, so he could very well have been exaggerating.

It all just makes me giggle.
