Lisa Brightman. Narrator This is from the Cigarette Girl By Carol Wall Per there's certain times when you have to drink to get through a night, and there are other times when your balance is so precarious, you have to make sure you don't drink to get through the night. We were getting along great. But what did matter and had me ordering an expresso was that this guy wasn't just trouble. He was dangerous. As dangerous as they get. He was an SC. You a self contained unit. He was one of those guys who might look like he wanted a relationship might even talk about marriage and babies. But my gut told me he was a solo act. His idea of commitment was probably a three day weekend. What was it about him that made me come to this conclusion again? Instinct, but also the fact that have been living in a hotel for the last two years and loving it Onley until I find a house or a piece of land I want to buy, he explained. Plus, I'm getting a really good rate. Yeah, sure, Make note, I told myself, This guy can't even commit to an address. This is from sometimes a hyena by Lauren Estimate. Why told the joke? I can't say it wasn't that good, but neither was the bartender. I driven past the place 100 times without noticing. The owner had just bought an orange led sign that said Open and stuck it in the window. The bartender was middle aged and looked like he'd seen cocktail ones. Guy walks into a bar, I said. Guys do. He slapped a napkin in my drink down. This a joke? Yes, it's a joke. There's a kangaroo mixing drinks. Kangaroo looks at the guy and says, I'll bet you're surprised to see a kangaroo behind the bar, and the guy says, I'll say, Do the zebra sell the place? He grunted and said, You a cop? If I said I waas would you spent my drink? He grinned. For starters, this is from I Am a female nerd by Mary Ann Cassidy. I am a female nerd. I can't tell you when it became trendy to be a nerd, but it definitely happened in the last 10 years. I think it was around the time that all the hip kids started wearing big thick rimmed glasses and the pop culture value of retro video games. Superheroes An old school Cy If I suddenly skyrocketed during my teenage years, I was silent on the topic of my nerdy pursuits. But during my college career, I noticed it carried weight amongst my peers. Wow, you are such a nerd was no longer a social guillotine. It was a compliment, and my being a complete nerd was impressive with my male peers. Sometimes it was a point of attraction. I have been asked out on the strength of my comic book knowledge. More than once, my ability to discuss science fiction earned me more male attention than a push up raw. I have never met a girl like you before. A guy told May. He really said that even though it sounds more like a nerd. Gaz, um, this is from the look of love by Bella. Andre Chase slowed down to see there was definitely a vehicle stuck in the ditch. He turned his brights on to see better in the pouring rain and realized there was a woman walking along the edge of the road. Are you hurt? She covered her cheek and shook her head? No, He jerked his thumb over his shoulder. Get in my car. We can wait there for a tow truck. The woman didn't move. Instead, she gave him a look like he was a complete nut job. I'm not getting in your car. She said I'm not gonna attack you. I swear I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. She stared at him for a long moment. Hail hammering on to them. Chase found himself holding his breath waiting for her decision. It shouldn't matter to him what she decided, but for some strange reason it did.
