Jerloma is Tom Hanks in Big, right down to being too fondly remembered for his piano playing.
Yes. Cringeworthy. J-Lo, please tell us your camping trip didn't play out like the sleepover scene in Big.
Please, you know that is exactly how it played out. It's such a shame he let her sleep in her own tent when he had such a nice air mattress. It seems rude not to offer to share.

Air mattresses inevitably deflate at least a little overnight. Know what happens to the two people on said air mattress when that happens?

You want cringe-worthy? When we got back to my house and she was leaving, she gave me a hug and said "Thank you so much for coming with me!" My awkward response..."Oh yeah of course, I'll go anywhere with you."

You've never been hmmm'ed before?
I don't feel like I said anything worthy of ponderance.
I'd be as confused as hell.
Maybe she's like "Wow, this guy is really overthinking this. He's way into his own head here. Do i really want to see him again? Or is he always going to be like this?"
But maybe she's NOT like that. Probably nothing to worry about.

Lighten up bro! She's flirt-texting you and you're replying like a droid.

When she texted you after the date you should have been at her house. The hmmmm confirms it.
Otherwise she would have just gone to sleep.

We already did that.
Is that really droidish? I said the exact same thing she said!

C3P0 would have used the word “reprieve”.

Well, more like babbling....we were both pretty ripping drunk. Anyways, we were standing there talking and dancing and whatnot, and I say "Hey....I'll go get us another round of beers"....but when I came back she was gone.
I figured "what the hell....I'll give it a try", and put something on the Missed Connections part of Craigslist. Got zero responses.
So sure...try it....but don't expect much....
Did a search because Spotify suggested I go back to an old Helio Sequence album, which I am doing right now, and thought this was worth bumping.

God...that was a long time ago.
The Helio Sequence is great though! And super fun to see live!

I will settle for one Swamper in attendance, wearing a webcam on his head and holding a laptop with everyone else in the swamp on a zoom meeting.
first swamper to volunteer for this will receive very good food and free booze all night and also be eligible to compete in my memorial singlehood golf tournament the day before
