My Name is Leanne

I was watching "My Name is Earl" last night & for those who live in a shoebox or have been in the woods for the past couple of years, the show is ultimately about Earl trying to redeem his good Karma by rectifying past wrongdoings. In this one episode in particular, he noticed that his Karma could be turning around as he was winning a few bets....

I wonder if there is dating Karma but as opposed to having to good deeds to get a good man (excuse the irony in that sentence) No.. but instead of having to do good deeds to get a good man you have to put up with your share of bad men or in my case... giant freak shows.

Yes, last night I was watching "My Name is Earl" while I went for a run on my treadmill. I was going to go down for a quick run & pop back up to my apartment. (I love that I have a gym in my building). Oddly enough, no one is ever in there. Because I'm self conscious I normally tie a sweatshirt around my waist but seeing as I was the only one in the gym, I whipped it off. Not 2 minutes later a young... hot looking guy walks in, smiles & sits on the stationary bike which is located where? RIGHT BEHIND ME...

I did a quick analysis in my head... gay men don't say hi to me. I'm like the anti-gay man as they don't really pay attention to tall blonde women in tight workout clothes... yes, definately straight.... straight & sitting on the bike right behind me. Straight, sitting on the bike behind me and staring at my ass as I ran on the treadmill.

Because I can't obviously turn around, as I'm not only watching tv & listening to my ipod (the tv has closed captioning), but I'm also in the middle of my cardio. So instead, I'm peeking into the window to catch a reflection.. OH! he's reading.... phew.. wait a minute! WHY aren't you staring at my ass.. HELLO!???? I'm running. (yea, I know).... I realized that, wow..I'm retarded... so I decided to focus on the running thing.

Once I was done, I decided that the right thing for me would be to stay & do weights... Hey! what did I have to do? Go upstairs & work? pfft! This is when he started chatting with me (definatetly not gay) Course it was more along the lines of "Nice gym eh?" with my response of "yuh" and then I quickly look away because well, I have the social grace of a 12 year old girl... way to go... hot.

So I start doing my squats and realize how awkward & lame I was so I tried initating the conversation back up ... "did you just move in?" ... "yes.... " and the conversation took off from there.

Was so nice to be able to chat with a guy that
A: Wasn't Drunk
B: Works Out
C: Wasn't a Perv (that I know of)
D: Lives in my Building! (after recent situations, I'm all over convenient)

Like Earl, I was only able to win a little bit. On the show he ended up screwing up in the biggest way. Well, in Leanne's real life, there's always snags..... Not a freakshow but he is a former Park Ranger named Hunter. (what the? that's like my mom's gyno that was named Dr. Payne) Anyways, he moved back to the city because well, there ain't any women on the West Coast Trail.... (I smell follow up novel to "I dated them so you don't have to" to "Out of the woods, Into Leanne's ****** we go".


Note to self: Karma aside, I'm ALWAYS wearing a push up bra to the gym!
