It only took me this long to figure out that she&#8217;s TWENTY YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME. I think I mentioned how I was shredding old phone records and I found calls to my college girlfriend from 1984, the year she was born. Yeesh.<\/p>\n<p>Well, she should be worried because I&#8217;m trying to figure out how to become a youth vampire. She&#8217;ll just get all dowdy like a librarian and want to yell at the kids to get off her lawn and I&#8217;ll start wearing a goatee and a porkpie hat and riding a fixed-gear bicycle around. I already see the error in my current plan, because most of the librarians I know are kind of hipsters or in the counterculture as well. I think every librarian I know has more tattoos and ferrets than I&#8217;ve ever though of having. I&#8217;ll have to rethink this plan. Also, I&#8217;m not sure that vampirism really works in any sense other than to get a guy committed or put into prison.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also in a secret race to get a muscle-up before some other people at the gym. These other people are rather competitive, and it&#8217;s much easier for me to try to do it without letting them know they&#8217;re in a competition. The initial goal was to get one before the Head Honcho&#8217;s birthday in August, but these goals are all kind of mutable. The downside to being in a competition that someone else doesn&#8217;t know about is that all I can really do is go up to them if I &#8220;win&#8221; and say, &#8220;Ha HA!&#8221; without really explaining to them what I&#8217;m talking about. Most people think I&#8217;m odd enough without going up to them and saying, &#8220;Ha HA!&#8221; but I guess at this point it probably wouldn&#8217;t hurt, either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was picking on the 24YO nurse at the gym because, well, she&#8217;s 24.
