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

Everyone is so emotional all of a sudden...is this a New Year's thing that I never noticed before?

Remember that girl I was seeing? I mentioned her in my last journal entry...let's call her Heather. I happened to talk to her the other day about the reunion that I didn't want to go to, and she suddenly decided that I wasn't going. No matter what I said, she told me not to go. Now, I may be an easily persuaded person, but I'm not going to forgo an event like this just because some girl told me to.

So I upped the ante. I told her that I wouldn't go, on the condition that I could spend that evening with her, instead. I don't know for sure why she doesn't want me to go so much, but I have a good idea of what the reason might be. Heather belonged to the same club as I did, the club that's putting on the reunion. Even though I don't really want to go to the reunion, I was going to go anyway because I knew other friends of mine would go, notice I wasn't there, ask me why I didn't go, and tell me that I missed a great party. I'm betting Heather thinks the same about me, that if I went, I would come back talking about how great it was and how she should have gone with me.

So instead of either one of us going, neither of us will. And I get a whole other year to shape up and get ready for the next reunion.

Eh? Why don't you both go together? Wouldn't that make more sense? Allies against the war etc etc?

I suggested that to her. I don't really want to go, but she REALLY doesn't want to go. Her ex-boyfriend is going too, and she doesn't want to see him with his new girlfriend.

Is this not obvious!? Go TOGETHER!! Isn't there this whole different dating culture in the US, or have I been fooled by TV? You don't have to be boyfriend/girlfriend to go out on a date...so just go as each others dates. No pressure, no commitment, and if anyone asks, you aren't pathetic and lonely and sad - not that you are, but it keeps away any nasty people who would think that. Does that make sense?

It makes sense to me, but who ever accused of women, especially this one, of being logical?

*looks down at her 38DD's*

Sorry. Am I not a woman?

I think that's something I have to verify in person.

Pay for the plane ticket...and you can!

Right, off I go to check ticket prices...

I think it's about £800 or so...

Well, then. I think I'll just hop in my neighbor's instead.

You wish!!
