I tried calling back right away to talk to the person to see who it was. It went straight to voicemail. So I ignored it expecting to be one of my prank calling friends from Salt Lake City. About a week later, I called again. Voicemail, again. The outgoing message was just the default robot voice "You have reached the voicemail for 2066357611, please leave a ..." So whatever, definitely a prank call, right? But here's where it takes a weird turn to crazyville on the coo-coo train making stops at what-are-you-about-talking station and who-are-you junction. I got a text back right after that second call that went straight to voicemail. So to me that says, I want to talk to you, but not quite reveal my identity. The text came from the number above with a +1 in front of it, meaning it's instant messenger on a phone. The replies were fast too, a little too fast if you know what I mean. Sidekick, I'm looking your way. We went on a bit texting back and forth. Here's the entire verbatim transcript of our conversation.Mormon Vegan Straight Edge girls are hot!
- Him

- Me
- What are you up to today?
- Him
- Work, then poetry tonight. You?

- Him
- You ride fixed gear, and you are straight edge. How could I resist admiration? And no, we haven't met yet. Want to come to poetry in Fremont tonight?
- Me
- If we've never met. How do you know about me?
- Him
- You were selling a fixed gear on cl. (editor's note: cl = craigslist.org. the listing has expired now, but there are photos of said fixie on my flickr account.)
- Me
- Do you know that i'm a boy?
- Him
- Nope. Haha!
- Him again
- Do you know asian brian?
- Me
- Nope. Why did you assume that i was mormon?
- Him
- The Utah number.
- Me
- Man, you're just full of assumptions. Next time, you probably want to try a different approach.
- Him
- Haha!
- Me
- Don't write me anymore.
- Him
- Okay.
