On a scale of 1-10, where 1 equals having a fingerprint on your rearview mirror and 10 is being turned into a nosferatu by the un-dead, how much does it suck to get someone's voicemail the first time you call them to set up a date? You have to leave a message that sounds excited-but-not-desperate, and then you sit around wondering if she's going to call you back and how long you have to wait until you try calling again (excited-but-not-desperate, remember). How much does it suck? (The judges will aslo except answers in the form of "it's better than__ but worse than__.")
Yeah, I know. It's a terribly intellectual post, and it just oozes self-confidence.

so, the only thing that could possibly redeem this post would be Brett giving us an update on his, eh...scenario.
Well Coye, I have to say your senario is much better than being diagnosed with an incurable disease (awkward pause... ok, I guess it's only funny when ADAM jokes about it, eh? Good to know...), but worse being railroaded by the British Raj for a cultural misunderstanding (but that might just be EM Forster talking).
On a related note, GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT! (Wow, sounded a little bit like my pal TEFKAMS for a minute there)--give us the details on this mysterious voicemail girl... and Brett, we really need to know what happened with your "situation."
Wow, even the happily married live for the romantic stories of us single folk. I'd say getting voice mail when calling a girl for the first time is better than getting voice mail a third time and never getting a call back (not that this has ever happened to me)and worse than being certain that the girl you like has fallen for you even if she won't admit it to you.
I almost used the "diagnosed with an incurable disease" line, but I'm reading Stoker right now (and wasn't sure if there was a limit on the number of Andy's-health jokes we can make in a fiscal quarter) so I went with the vampire thing.
And no details until there are details to detail. (Otherwise I would just be giving you half a story and leaving you hanging for an indefinite period of time waiting for a conclusion... that's a hint, Brett.)
ok...
it's worse than taking out a contact lense after chopping jalapenos, but better than getting voicemail AGAIN when you call back in two days!
Arrrgghhhhhhh!!!
Coye be careful. One more voice mail phone call, and you'll be plagiarizing me. Who do you think you are, a Harvard student?
yeah... I think that after 2 voicemail messages, the only socially acceptable phone call would be a drunk dial... and I'm not so sure that drunk dialing is all that acceptable... or all these elipses... I'm not sure that they're acceptable either... but I can't stop typing them...
