h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm in the mood for self-sabotaging... I snogged a guy last Saturday, but it really put a damper on things when I cried out "Doctor! Are your trying to intubate me?"

I wasn't very into it. No wonder he hasn't returned my message

A bit obscene... Was he a doctor?

I did accuse my last fling of being an axe murderer and a cat burglar, but it didn't deter them in any way

Very obscene indeed he wasn't a doctor though. My musician-sens never misses a beat. He was a former drummer turned tour manager turned programmer.

He's vanished into thin air, while I'm keeping up the good work by resuming contact with my ex. Self-sabotaging as an art form...

I've just broken up with the guy who a couple of pages ago I was going on was "the one"! Very messy break up indeed - I've just had a very satisfying yell at him on the phone! Somehow there's no heartbreak and no regrets whatsoever - isn't life just odd?

yeah I was away for a month, In England and Wales, doing a semi-Tour of the country here and there, Bath, Plymoth, London, Cardith, Aberystwyth, Oxford and so on. And of course knowing me I totaly failed to meet any girls who interested me in any way at all, and so therefor remain Single, which of course allows you to Enjoy Chicargo much much more. :')
Anyway on with the actule subject, which seems to have changed to "worlds gratest breakups" I have infact dumped two of the very short list of girlfreinds I have had througout the years. One becuse we were not going anyware, I broke up with her on the tennis cought (I was in high school ok?) where to problimate matters she was complely off her head on coke and sweeties (as so many of us are, coke being a alcholic drink brewed from vodka, vegimite and coke (This is what kids really do at high school), and sweeties being boringly enougth sweeties). She collasped five times trying to play ring a ring a rossies on the court whilst I tried despratly to tell her she could consider herself single. I eventully gave up when she started to pretend to play tennis.
The other time was when I saw my (another) girlfreind snogging someone else apprently her cousin (yeah right, like I havent herd that one befor... ok so I havent, but know I can say I have heard the excuse). If it was her cousin she was very nice to him (very very nice) and I am not getting involed in that sort of thing.

Don't even get me started on the subject of breakups

Mind you, it'd be wildly off-topic.

"I've just noticed, you're eyes match the spinach in your teeth..."

Since when did it matter that we where widly off topic? about 50% of this convo so far has been I can't see why we don't make it more! More apsestos! More apsestos! More apsestos! More apsestos! More apsestos! ..... Hang on a second.....

On a very off topic note, my boyfriend had been being grumpy and bad mannered all week. I rang him to dump him but when he answered the phone he didn't even say hi... THE CHEEK! HE DUMPED ME FIRST! He said that we're too different which is blatantly not true. Then I found out the real reason. He'd got very drunk and slept with some random woman! And one of my best friends had found out and told him that if he didn't own up he'd make him do so!

On a more on topic note, I no longer believe in conversation killers - if someone's right for you, you'll be alble to tell them anything!

fish.

Utter Bewilderment - happened to me too! Good riddance to bad rubbish. He pressed the eject button. Maybe he'll do what my other ex is doing right now and crawl back to you... maybe he won't.

At any rate, what use is an unfaithful ?

Or perhaps Wop.

I don't know about you people, but finding out that my date has opposite political views to mine definitely puts a damper on things. There was this journalist guy I knew who was putting the moves on me. I wasn't interested, but friendliness is next to Godliness. Anyway at some point he turns out to be strictly pro-life (or rather, anti-abortion). Which is all well and good, I mean, everyone's entitled to their opinions. The point here is that he tried to convince me that "Some doctors maintain that they heard the little creature wail as it was being extracted from the womb".

Do me a favour, I said. Clear out of my mailbox this minute.

Needless to say, the friendship was all over...

does anything have anything to do with the original conversation or are we just blathering?

Actually, it was a big conversation killer, that one. Bottom line: if you're a bigot, either pick somebody with similar values or AVOID the subject entirely.

I think he knows what would happen if he came crawling back to me - it wouldn't exactly be a pleasurable experience for him! Part of me thinks he needs to learn a huge lesson, but I don't really care enough to carry out any revenge. It was one of those relationships where the end didn't produce any heartbreak because things had fallen into such disrepair.

On the subject of having opposing views, I find it rather annoying to go out with someone who has the exact opposite opinions on things I feel strongly about, but at the same time it can be a good influence to have someone with a slightly different outlook on life around. If two people are too similar, they will accentuate each others weaknesses.

For example, I'm a philosophical kind of person who would rather spend time doing arty things and theorising than being practical and had an ex who was exactly the opposite. After college, he's joining the RAF and i'm going to Oxford to do Maths and Philosophy. His determination to make a difference in the world by risking his life really inspired me to consider how I could do something purposeful rather than becoming an eccentric professor like I always assumed I would. However, whether I was right to be inspired or whether I was just trying to be someone I'm not is another matter entirely. Any sort of mind-broadening is a good thing but I do still think my place in life is to be an eccentric professor and write bizarre books!

Well someone has to do it.

... and it had better be somebody who is passionate about it I want to write books too, but I'm not a bizarre professor. More like the arty-farty writer type...

My parents have said since I was about 6 that I behave like a bizarre professor!

Well when I was Six I wanted to be a Astronutical Engineer and build ships. Right now though I want to do somthing that involes a lot of books and computers, since thats my degree all over.
