What Kind of Movie Star? - Francesca

So, I came across another winner. He seemed pretty boring, actually...an accountant, kind of shy, quiet...but hey, dinner is dinner. And he was employed and could form sentences, so that was a step up from some recent dates. Kevin wasn't an unattractive guy, either. Not hot, but not hideous...he seemed like a fairly normal middle-of-the-road guy.

I should have known the night was going downhill fast, when, upon my arrival, he thanked me profusely for taking time out of my busy schedule to meet with him. For twenty minutes. It went from kind of nice to pretty annoying quickly. I tried to steer the conversation a bit more...I mean, he is an accountant and shy, so I didn't expect him to be wild and crazy. I knew he had a high chance of falling into the "socially awkward" category.

The evening was bumpy and uncomfortable, and I talked for a majority of the night. I tried to get more information out of him, as I was starting to run out of stories that made me out to be the crazy world traveller. After some prodding, he began to talk about a job he had during college. He had seen some ads for auditions for a film. He figured it was some student film, and thought it would be fun to check out. When he arrived...it was a different kind of film. Of the free Internet site variety. He "acted" in four movies, collected his $1000 and left.

Now, I'm an open person, and accept all types of people and pasts. I wasn't so upset about the fact that I was on a date with a former low-grade porn star...just disappointed he was so boring! I just couldn't bring myself to deal with him after that beer...he ruined my perception of porn stars forever.
