And not what you think. I love him. He hates me. Well not necessarily me per se. Its a bit long winded.
So Im not going to Canberra right. And he better not ring me or I might change my mind right? So went yesterday. Of course he rang, the man finds me intoxicating, and no Jayne, not because I or he is actually intoxicated at the time...Why am I even friends with you?? Why wouldnt he ring. I told him I wasnt going to go. He says, well actually I wanted to rephrase the offer because Ive been thinking about it and I think it might have come out a bit wrong. He then prattled on about the company of the drive, like you said rd, and I suppose being a prius driver that drive was going to be extra long.........And he mentioned the latte date specifically, I would like to take you to my favourite cafe he says for that latte date. He, knows I like cricket, he doesnt so that should have been a dead set giveaway for me right there, but as Jayne says, the man has been undressing me with his words and not your usual Cor that dress is nice but it would look better on the floor sort of undressing, and so I wasnt paying that much attention. Back to the cricket thing, perhaps I would like to go to that oval they play that prime ministers eleven game at??? How thoughtful no? And theres a fantastic little restaurant he would love to share with me. These are the words he tells me. Not...I want you to come. But, I want to share these things with you. See, thats why I love him. He then says, however, I should say that my intention was always to pay for two hotel rooms, I dont think I actually mentioned that.
So Of course I changed my mind. It was just like rd said, and rd's my main man, even if he wont admit it to himself, everyone else can see it. Wake up rd. Where was I?
Oh yes, so Im decided im going. I says, could I phone you back in one second. Ring Ring, In YOUR FACE JAYNE IM GOING TO CANBERRA. Much what will I wear ensues, she insists I at least shave my legs. I insist I at least dye my hair and I have to run because Ive now got a lot of stuff to sort before my big Canberra trip.
So I phones him back. Ive reconsidered and would like to come to Canberra with you afterall I says.
Lovely he says. We chat some more. This is where it all goes downhill. Badly. My meat eating vegetarian prius driving buddhist is not quite as open to other viewpoints as he might like to think he is. And now Im feeling like crap because of it.
You see, he was busy telling me about his ...ok soemthing or other, life plan thingy, what hes up to next career wise and so on and so forth. Hes got a lot of pies that his fingers seem to be in. Then he says I might do ...blah blah....because it will make a lot of money. This is after telling me of the other things he will be doing. I says.....wait for it. Classic me moment, Im all about saying the wrong thing, though I never thought it was the wrong thing. I says....I would hate to do something just because it would make a lot of money.
He goes a bit quiet. He says, thats a little unrealistic. He says, he still has to make a living rah rah. I says, its not unrealistic, you dont neeeeed that money to live on. YOuve got your fingers in plenty of pies, making you plenty enough money, why do something just because it will make you more money? He says, he might go to bed now. I havent picked up yet that he's pissed at me. I says, ok, well I will hear from you tomorrow then. He says...............thats a long pause there, he says...yeah....um,...........yeah. I notice this pausing thing. I says....Or not?
He says...or not? whats that mean? I says, well you hesitated quite a lot there perhaps you changed your mind, chuckle chuckle, afterall its the middle of the morning, joke joke, the mans just tired, ha ha. Not to worry. He says.....HE SAYS, TRUTHFULLY I FIND THAT VIEWPOINT OFFENSIVE.
I says, why, it wasnt intended to cause offensive, i specifically said i would hate to do soemthing just for the money side, i didnt say I wouldnt. *you folk remember those disastrous jobs ive taken just for the money right?? but i had no other choices, he does*.
He then went on to tell me that he now feels quite degraded. I says, why would you? Besides, ive just spent the night telling you how admirable your ideas, and your plans are, why would you now assume Im degrading you? I cant remember what happened next, but he said, i think i should just go to bed. I says.....GOD IM AN IDIOT WHY DID I SAY THIS?? I says, ok, well i apologise if you took offense, it was not intended to be derogatory in anyway. He says goodnight. I says goodnight.
and there you have it. I blew it. So I didnt bother dyeing my hair or shaving my legs. Shut up Jayne. Dont think you can laugh, youve now got a date for Valentines Day. me. im pathetic. Why are you even friends with me??

Hello Miss D :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I wouldnt have said that you blew it, I would say that he has issues and that he blew it.
It looked like he was intending the honourable thing at least.
I must agree though that any one that sees money as the first and foremost priority in ones life will never see anything else as a priority.
I wouldnt give yourself a hard time over this incident, He may see the error of his ways and decide what is really important in life.
Gawd anyone with a good amount of money should be able to sit back and live of the Poor.
The issues are his not yours. And he seems to have a lot of them. He's a misogynistic hypocritical meat eating, prius driving buddhist. So it's ok as long as you're agreeing with him ... God forbid you have a mind of your own. Tell him to go rake his zen garden, deal, build a bridge (out of sustainable materials of course, you don't want to upset the eco-warrior even more) and get over it. You're right ... why am I even friends with you??
ReplyDeleteand thats why you are a friend
ReplyDeleteI dont want to talk about it. Lets never mention it ever again.
ReplyDeleteRd this is all your fault you know. If you would just admit that im the great love of your life, I wouldnt be out there OFFENDING people.
Why do i even love you???
Charles M. Schwab:
ReplyDeleteThe man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money nor find much fun in life.
Marian Wright Edelman:
Never work just for money or for power. They won't save your soul or help you sleep at night.
Just a couple of quotations you may use "if"he does happen to call again .
Personally I don't believe either of them But thought I'd just throw them in, in case they may be of some help .
