The whole event made me feel like I was a teenager messing around in AOL chat rooms, but the aftermath really felt like high school all over again. The real date that iJustine mentions at the end of the video would have been with me. I would have picked her up directly after flying in to Burbank Airport on Thursday night. That morning, I checked with her to make sure we were still on. She said yes. Just before taking off from Oakland, she confirmed our plans again. She stood me up at the last minute with the excuse that her manager was brining her to a dinner that might be important for her career. It turns out that she was screwing around on facebook the whole time. The worst part: I rented a car to pick her up instead of catching a ride home from the airport with a friend. Justine may not be from Los Angeles, but she already has a Hollywood personality. Hugs and Kisses Aaron Thanks Michael, Aaron, Debbie, and Josh,
