So I talked to the yahoo tonight (oh, I mean the fixup). He was not that good at impromptu conversation, too bad I see that as a negative immediately. Anyway, here is the plan. Once you hear it you may better understand my true hatred of the whole situation.
My midget friend sold her house and her and her husband are staying with this yahoo until after her son's wedding and then they are moving to Louisiana immediately thereafter. This yahoo lives 45 minutes from my work place and an hour from my home. Not this Friday but next, I am travelling with her to the yahoo's home and staying the night, as it is in the boonies. I am assured by the yahoo that I will have a wonderful time as he lives on a lake and has a firepit in his backyard (I suppose he has been told I am the fishing, camping outdoorsy type). So to be honest it doesn't sound bad. The yahoo further says to me on the phone, "No pressure, let's just have fun". Well ,hell, now I feel pressure to have fun.
Ok, now it is apparent to me that I am actively looking for reasons to hate him. Truth is, he was actually quite nice on the phone and probably said as much as he could not knowing me. So now the question is, "why in the world am I looking for things to hate before I even meet him?"
Well, it just so happens I have an answer for this. And the answer is: Because as I have said previously " I hate everyone equally". Now this is really just my inside joke but there is some truth to it as well.
But now that I know he lives on a lake and has a firepit in his backyard. Maybe I can still find some redeeming qualities in him, at the very least, I just might enjoy some fishing and good friends.
Actually, it sounds pretty damn good. I'll let you know next week how this goes.

obviously your self improvement hasn't come that far if you are calling someone who is willing to invite a stranger into his home for a night and would open his home to friends for an extended time after their house sold.
ReplyDeleteSure it's not a case of defensiveness in that you'll hate him before he can dislike you?
I've seen you do it before.
If I was you, I'd be more worried the friend might see a side of you she hasn't seen before and change her opinion of you, then the fact you might not like the guy.
btw, hope she doesn't tell him about your blog.
I meant if you are calling someone a name, not calling as in the phone!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, you are unable to read. BTW, my midget friend reads the blog.
ReplyDeleteMidget Speaking, for the record. I love reading this and rotfl. You seem upset about nothing to do with you. Do you need a date? LOL
ReplyDeleteI wasn't talking about your friend reading the blog, I was talking about the gentleman that she is introducing you to, who may have his feelings hurt by being called a yahoo by someone who has never even met him.
ReplyDeleteIf I was reading it without knowing you I might see it differently, however, I do know you and have seen you at your worst and best. It has nothing to do with being "bitter". Knowing your worst and best and being realistic about it is not bitterness, just reality. But then after what, 14-15 years I think I probably have seen a few more sides of you than your work friend has!
and btw, if I was bitter I wouldn't be reading your posts or commenting with a name you recognize and what pray tell would I have to be bitter about with you?
Correction, you have not known me for 14 or 15 years. You have known of me.
ReplyDeletewhatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at nights.
