Failed Pick Up Attempt

Well it was my freshman year, and Friday night was dead as hell at our fine school. So about 20 of my closest friends and I decided we'd go over to Emory--which is about ten minutes north of Tech's downtown Atlanta campus. Emory is notorious for being full of rich girls that just suck at being humans. After I put down eight or nine beers, I knew it was time to rally the troops and move out.
Upon finding a fraternity party that was kickin, my friend Fred and I proceeded to get severely intoxicated with nothing but an empty fifth of Beam to show for our efforts. Having taken care of the buzz for the time being, I chilled with a beer and began the search for a female companion.
I found one that was mid-range at best but, in my state of mind, I really didn't care. We started the small talk for a while, and eventually she asked me if I went to school there. In some deep recesses of my mind, I reasoned that saying I went to Emory would help my chances to perhaps be hittin' the skins later--don't ask me why.
Well, she wasn't satisfied yet and more questions followed. She asked me how many hours I was taking. I figured as long as I was lying I might as well make myself appear very intelligent. "Nineteen hours," I replied. She gave me a strange look and asked what classes.
Aw, shit!
"Um…"
I managed to mumble something about psych, and she asked if I had her Professor, "Smith" or something. I said yes I did, and bitched about how he taught. She seemed to agree wholeheartedly with my story about the professor, and I was pretty pleased with how things were going.
When she asked me what dorm I lived in, I said that I lived in an apartment complex with my older brother, who was a senior. Not knowing the names of any of the dorms at Emory, I figured that was my best bet. And I was once again extremely pleased with myself for the rampant lies I was able to successfully deliver under pressure.
So she asked which ones, I just crossed my fingers and said "Woodruff," which was the name of some guy on a plaque that I saw while walking across the campus to the party. She stated that she knew where those were, and asked how the party scene was there. I told her it was great, and how much I enjoyed living there. She said it sounded fun and suggested that she should come over and see it some time.
Then she asked if I was in a fraternity, and I said that since I lived off campus and was taking nineteen hours that I didn't really have time. Just then my friend Fred walked up and invited himself into the conversation. Not good.
She asked him if he was in a fraternity. He (honestly) responded that both of us were pledge brothers in a fraternity at Georgia Tech.
That was the last I saw of her.
Ouch! Damn friends.

Be careful with those pick-up lies, sometimes they can come back and bite you in the ass.
