Things have been out and out crazy for me lately, both professionally and personally. I've been too busy and too stressed to think much about the hobby, but when a little window of opportunity opened for me I decided I needed to destress in a way I'm sure most of you guys can appreciate.
So a few days ago, I contacted one of my favorites and I quickly realized that her life was probably just as crazy as mine is right now. I'm sure I'll see her again sometime, but I don't think it's in the cards at the moment.
I had spent too much time waiting to hear back from my old favorite. My window of opportunity would soon close. But then, I remembered Courtney, the spinner of pretty little addiction fame. I had seen her several times in the last few years and I had an awesome time when I saw her last summer. I found her ad on BP and called. She sounded happy to hear from me, and immediately mentioned an odd little incident from the last time that we had met. She remembered me, which is always a good thing. And was willing to let me book her again, even better. I asked if she would be available in a few hours, for a 10 pm booking. She thought that it would work out, and asked if I would call back at 9.
I was excited that I would be seeing her again. I'd remembered her fondly. But I started to get apprehensive when I called a few minutes before 9 and there was no answer. I called at about 9:15 and 9:30 and finally texted her at about 9:45. One final call at 10, and that's all she wrote. No Courtney for me this evening. I tried calling a few other ladies, but to no avail. There was a crash as my window of opportunity slammed shut.
I texted her the next day to say I was sorry to have missed her, and that I hoped she was okay. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I never heard anything back and I still haven't, a few days later.
A lot of people people here have said that she was terribly difficult to book, and a few had even mentioned that she had no-showed a couple of times. But I don't ever remember having had much trouble booking her before, much less no-showed. But do you know the saying, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me"? Even though she has never no-showed me before, I should have known better after the large number of posts I'd read through the years about how difficult she was to book. I felt pretty foolish to have taken this chance, especially knowing the limited time I had to make a booking work. Well, I won't be making that mistake again.
