Just when you think it can’t get weirder…IT DOES! I was out with Cassie this evening and my phone kept telling me I had emails waiting for me but, seeing as I was having a nice time, I chose to ignore them. When I finally returned home, I logged into my email to find a message from an old flame named Jackson. My immediate reaction was to delete this particular piece of correspondence and move on with my life; however, the more I thought about it, the more I feel it merited a response. Now, here comes the embarrassing part of this story: the email I received was in response to an online dating website (where, for numerous reasons, I haven’t posted pictures). I am 99% positive that Jackson had no idea he was responding to me and that’s why a response was hard to write...very much like the Rupert Holmes' song "If You Like Pina Coladas." When we dated, I thought we (both he and I) had a good time but, seeing as he just suddenly stopped calling me, I assumed that wasn’t the case, swallowed my pride, and moved on. I wasn’t sure how to respond to his email without embarrassing myself so I did so in a manner that I felt was acceptable. Fear not, I’ll keep you all updated on the Jackson drama (if any arises!).
Now onto the Louise/10mbf situation…as stated yesterday, he did in fact come to spend time here, and as expected they had sex (finally!). When Cassie and I returned home from our evening frolicking around the city, Louise cornered us and informed us that Carl was now acting weird, my mental response went something like this “Well yes Louise…a man that you’ve known for about 10 minutes comes over to “hang out” with you, you then have sex, and you then are stuck dealing with the awkward aftermath of sex with a stranger! Very good!” Sometimes her naïveté is adorable, while other times it’s just annoying. I’m hoping that the horizontal tango loosened the stick from her bum. I would not be surprised if he up and left in the middle of the night (I just hope he locks the door on the way out!) but if he does stick around I’m looking forward to a painfully awkward morning.
What a night! The question I pose today is this: Have you ever taken pleasure in friends’ relationship woes? Does the phrase “better you than me” cross your mind from time to time?
You are just ridiculous -
