Guys are getting smarter. With the new cellular technologies we have, these guys are adapting to the game. While we were country camping last weekend, a piercing freak named Kevin (he had EVERYTHING pierced--I know, he showed me), challenged me:

"If I can guess the day you were born give or take three days, you have to give me your number."

In my drunken haze I looked around at my friends. Sarah, Kat and Katie were cheering me on. "Do it!" Sarah screamed.

"Alright deal," I shook on it.

"Wednesday. HA! I didn't say date, I said day."

The only thing for a gal to do in a situation like this is to give a fake number. Sure he was cute, but between the piercings, the excessive tattoos and the eleven-year-old son with the big shlong (according to daddy dearest), I knew that I would only be getting myself into trouble. Unfortunately, he was one step ahead of me.

"Bring out your phone, I'm going to call it to make sure."

"Oh, it's in the car and it's turned off. I don't feel like getting up."

"That's ok, it'll go to voicemail."

Shit. He was right. I had to give my real number, or else risk the wrath of freaky guy. But, I figured, I could always screen. I normally do anyhow, since I somehow happen to find myself in these situations more and more frequently when I dabble in new mixtures of alcohol.

Unfortunately, Katie lent this guy her CDs. By Saturday morning, we had no idea where they had gone, and the prospect of their return was bleak.

Until this morning. 7:03 a.m. rolls around, and my phone starts going off. I screen the call, then check the message:

"Hi Amber, it's Keven from Country Camping. Um, I was there with the black cavalier. Um... Somehow, one of your friends lent one of my friends her cd book, one of those black cd books. Um, and I have it. So give me a call and we'll make arrangements to give it back to your friend."

So what do I do? Do I suck it up and go get it for Katie? Make her get it herself? Go together? My feeling is that this guy took them on purpose, and to me that's the worst pick up attempt EVER.
