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

Not an hour into New Years I got a severe metaphorical kick in the behind. I take that to be a sign from Mummy Nature or the collective unconscious to take the reins and steer this aerial train wreck of a life in a better direction. Romance and affection seem to be out of the question and debauchery gets tired so I suppose I will have to be creative or something.

so . . .



are you okay?

No fears, a past relationship had been rekindled and then broken into little shards months later. I should have seen it coming.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger, right?

That saying has long bothered me -- quadruple amputation doesn't kill us; does it make us stronger?

Strong in spirit, my absintheian friend.

Oh dear, that was *e* before *i*, wasn't it? I await the hobnailed jack boots of the Language Police on my door...

*Knock knock*

Come out with your infinitives where I can see them

You'll never take my correlative conjunctions alive! I'm holding a misplaced mofifier hostage!

modifier, even!

'Boot to the butt' sounds like a great name for a rock band.

On a less sympathetic note, I know the feeling:

Once I met a metaphor.
She stood beside an open door,
And kindly kicked me to the floor.
'Twas then I knew what I'd met her for.

'Boot to the butt'

It could have been worse.

Much, much worse...

You might have been facing the other way

That's what I like to hear ... always look on the bright side of life ...

And Taliesin also makes a good point.

but



and

...just checking in to see if you're alright, or at least feeling a little better.

Thank you very much for your concern, it's very kind of you to ask.

Time does indeed heal all wounds, this one is taking a little longer to heal than I would like but so it goes.

>>Time does indeed heal all wounds<<

Reminds me of a song by Canned Heat that I've always liked to listen to while sitting in a corner licking my wounds.

It's said time will heal a broken heart
Sounds to good to be true
But to believe, yeah to believe, and I mean to really be satisfied,
You can run, but you sure can't hide.

It doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense, but neither did the '60s

So, did it?

Wow! Were ya waitin' for me?



Not so far but thanks for asking. I sent her an email a few days after the 'event' explaining how I was blocking her email addresses and removing her phone numbers from all my data bases. I explained I would like her to do the same with mine and it appears she did (I slipped after a few drinks around Valentine's day and tried to send something). It seems to be helping.

>>Wow! Were ya waitin' for me?<<

Well, yes - glad to see you're around, even if not wholly better.

Yes I am not yet Swiss cheese with too much milkfat (holey butter).

Thank you all for your hugs and best wishes, this is something I have to get over by myself but it does help to have friends.

Happy Wednesday.

Just keep in mind that when it comes to karmic pay back that time wounds all heels, too
