DISCLAIMER: WHAT FOLLOWS IS A LONG BORING RANT.  YOU WERE WARNED.
   
    One of the most undesirable personality traits found within the ranks of the human race is the inability to function under normal social rules of time and commitment.  Some people seem unable to commit to something at a certain time and then follow through with that commitment.  This particular personality trait has caused me to waste a lot of time within the last two or three weeks due to my inability to just give up on people.
  
    Let me give you a scenario.  My friend Rex (I love you man, but you have a problem) says to me; "Hey you wanna hang out tonight".  Rex is a good kid, so I agree.  He says he's just leaving his house and is on his way over.  Cool, it's about 6:30, maybe we can go catch a flick or scam some chicks or something.  So I sit and wait.  8:30 roles around and I begin to wonder where the kid is, so I call him.  There is music in the background - sounds like a lot of people. 

    "Oh, sorry man, I just stopped by my friends house for a minute."  This is a sure sign of the aforementioned undesirable personality trait.  No Concept of Time - his word "minute" translates into "two hours" to the normally functioning human being.

    "I'm leaving here right now and I'm just going to run by and get some fast food and then I'll head over."  I'm thinking - okay no problem it'll be twenty minutes or so. 

    10:00 roles around.  Rex calls; "Hey sorry man, we just got done eating, I think we're going to go have a fire in the canyon...you wanna come?"  Okay, I got cabin fever at this point so I am ready to go about anywhere.  "Sure", I say.  He says he'll call back and tell me where they are meeting up.

    11:45 - Rex finally calls; "Hey, I'm pretty tired I think I'm just going to hit the hay."  He never even made it to my house. 

    Up until last week Rex was the worst case I had seen.  Then I met Sara.  I met Sara actually two weeks ago at church.  Bryce and I were drawing pictures on the program and once it was full we passed it to whoever was behind us (this is a normal past time on boring Sundays).  Well Sara was sitting behind us. 

    I forgot about her until the next week when she caught me after the meeting and started talking to me.  She had me come out to her car with her.  She proceeded to give me her phone number (without my asking, mind you) and asked if I wanted to hang out. 

    Now, at this point there are a few things running though my mind.  1. This girl is acting really interested in me, and therefore 2. there must be something wrong with her.  But 3. She looks normal, 4. she acts a little strange, 5.but she seems harmless.  "okay, sure, why not - lets hang out".  I promise to call her.

    So I call her to see if she wants to come over, and she does on Monday night.  We hang out and watch a movie.  She acts really interested and when she leaves she says she wants to hang out again - tomorrow.  Wow, she must really be interested, I;m thinking.

    So I call her the next day.  No answer.  So I text message her.  No answer.  So I wait until the next day, figuring she must just be busy.  I call her, no answer.  A text message is sent later - something to the effect of "Sorry, fell asleep yesterday, but lets hang out soon".  Okay, so I call her again the next day - still no answer.  So I forget about it.  She acts really interested up until the part of answering her phone.

    She text messages me last night and says she wants to hang out today.  Okay, so I tell her to call me when she wants to hang out.  She calls me about 5:00pm and we get disconnected.  I call her right back - no answer.  I send her a text message "is your phone broken?"  She calls back - "Sorry, I got busy.  Let me call you back in a minute, I'm just drying my hair". 

    That was the last I heard from her.  I promptly erased her number out of my phone.

    This behavior could be expected from a girl who didn't like me, who I initiated a conversation with, and who did not act interested.  This behavior, however, from a girl who initiated contact with me, acted interested, and said repeatedly that she wanted to hang out leads me to one conclusion about this girl: She's a complete psychotic wacko and she has escaped from the loony bin.

    I don't play games.  If she tries to talk to me at church tomorrow I will give her a piece of my mind.  Too many wasted minutes waiting for her promised "hanging out" - why should I waste my time, anyway?  She's the one who is interested in me - I was just being nice more than anything. 

    I don't like to complain about girls much - because they always complain about guys and it seems a little immaturish (yes, thats a word, I made it up) - but I just couldn't pass up the chance to complain about such a specimen of insanity.
