Phone calls and text messages and e-cards, oh my!

When is the last time you got an e-card? And I'm not talking about an e-card from a grandma, or crazy aunt, I'm talking about an e-card from a romantic contender.

My answer? 2 weeks ago.

Things took off with the hipster. After meeting at the bar (remember, "you rode that bull really well"?) we were inseperable.

Hipster and I were complete opposites, but I didn't care. I tried to tone down my love of Justin Timberlake and all things pop, and pretended to be interested in his hipstery techno music and beer brewing hobby.

We went on a number of dates, after which he always called, texted, or sent an e-card. He friended me on facebook within 24 hours of our first meeting.

As I opened up my email, and saw the e-card waiting, butterflies fluttered through my stomach. Always the pessimist, I thought, Is he seriously ending things with me over an e-card?

"I had a great time on our date," I relayed to my mom via telephone. "Unless of course you didn't. In that case I didn't either."

Silence.

Finally: "I don't get it."

"It's cool mom," I explained. "Get it? It's kind of ironically funny."

"I still don't get it."

Truthfully, neither did I.
