[October 29, 2006] Lines flit through my head, after I've already left.

"Take care of yourself. You've got a good thing going; don't spoil it."

"It's good to know you exist."

And my old favorite, "I like your... everything. It's very nice. All of it."

To me, delivering cheesy lines I've just thought of is often more fun than actual flirting. This isn't the shit I say when I'm seriously hitting on someone; this is what I say to a random pretty girl, and then leave, laughing at myself.

But sometimes I deliver these lines in a way that gets *quite* a positive response, which usually confuses me. When I'm in the right mood, I can own my cheesy pick-up lines.

It reminds me of my friend Mike the Aussie, who was once reading a newspaper on a subway and noticed a pretty girl watching him from across the train, as well as a guy behind her staring at his paper. He took out a marker and wrote, "You are very, very good-looking. (No, not the dude.)" on his paper, and held it up so she'd see it when he went back to reading the paper. Mike could sell *any* line.
