Lost in Translation: The Sequel (aka: How to Prevent Blind Dates)

I can’t stop laughing about it…seriously. Maybe I’ve become somewhat masochistic, but I’ve told the Spanish-burrito story to lots of people and gotten lots of laughs. It was obviously completely innocent when it all happened back in PA, but still really funny. I tried to put a little retro-active prayer into action this week and pray that no ill-effects would come because of my innocence and ignorance.

And in case you’ve all be wondering about Jess…I don’t think he’s my omelet maker after all. I talked to Denton-the-setter-upper on Thursday. As it turns out, Denton and Jess were talking about me at some point during the week (after our chat-session) and Jess kept trying to altogether avoid the subject of me or dating me. In efforts to explain Jess's reluctance to take me out, I told Denton the Spanish-burrito story. I also apologized for ruining Denton's hopes and dreams of me and Jess, together forever. BTW, Denton thinks my story is funny.

I’ve heard that if you’re going to make an omelet, you’re going to have to break a few eggs.
FYI, this afternoon Jess deleted me as a Facebook friend.

…and I couldn't help but laugh. Someday I’ll find that handsome omelet-making prince and he’ll find the Spanish-burrito story as funny as I find it.

You forgot that he needs to be a handsome, golfing, omlette making prince. His criteria is getting longer...he better show up soon before it's too long, or impossible to fill.

P.S. Hilarious...even more so now.

wow...apparently that jess kid has no sense of humor. who needs someone like that. =) i would have laughed in the face of embarrassment if that had been me too. who (by who, i mean what american) could have possibly known that's what a bean burrito meant? i wonder if that jess kid would have stopped being your friend if he asked you what you had for lunch and you, in innocence, answered a bean burrito?...

BTW, this woman reminds me of your humorist optimism...

If your spanish-burrito story made him not want to meet you/blind-date you, then he doesn't deserve you! It was obviously a hilarious, innocent mistake and if he can't see it for what it is, then good riddance (although I'm sure he must be a nice human being, just not good enough, or the right one for our Beckidee!)
