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

I must admit, I'd been giving Jane a bit of trouble, too. Perhaps you noticed. I was trying not to be insulting, but I did feel that her views smacked of the very essence of right-wing unforgiving Christianity. If so, how was I misreading? What did she actually mean?
Ah, being a man's not so bad. I've spent the last four months hanging around only with two of my best friends - girls - and gender differences fill up many a boring silence. We've come to the conclusion we're not so different, but when we are that it's not the biological differences that make it so, but the cultural ones. Except not in such long words, of course, since being female it would make their brains overheat and such.
Leisure's quite good, too.

Har har.

Well, I doubt if you are going to see Jane again on that thread anyhow, so no point in saying much more. 'the very essence of right-wing unforgiving Christianity'? In fact, she is just the opposite. But she was upset about the topic - paedophiles. And I don't think she could separate her emotions from her thoughts very well, especially thinking about her own children.

I want to be a woman of leisure. That's what I meant. I wasn't making any comment against men. Just that I don't want to be a man - I only want the leisure bit.

Okay, getting sleepy. Think it's going to be an early night.

az

I know, az. Everything I just said was a joke.

Hey, stop showing off!!!

First it's boasting about having a pareja.

Then it's all this man of leisure stuff.

And *now* you're fading away? Ha! I'd like to fade away about 2 stone's worth of superfluous az.

Pareja?
I haven't checked the "Hello az" thread for several months but I gathered you were on some kinda routine.
Well... ... I have had a lot of time to write pointless poems, that's true, yup... ...

'pareja' is a delightful Spanish noun that basically means the person you are in love with and having a relationship with. You can be married, not married, gay, straight, young, old - and the word 'pareja' means just that. Much better than the English generic term 'partner' (ick) and especially better than people my age calling someone their 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend' as this sounds a bit ridiculous. So I quite like the word pareja.

az

Does it indicate requited love?

no, you can (or should) only call someone your pareja if you are actually having a loving relationship with them and this is actually real and a mutually shared thing.

az the pareja-less

Sorry if the tone of your post mislead me, but it appeared to me that you got mixed up. Requited is where your paramour loves you in return; unrequited not so.
I guess she is my kinda half semi demi almost nearly pareja. I'm certain of my affection for her but, she's never had a boyfriend before so I'm not sure if she's learnt how to scale her feelings, if you see what I mean. Never the less, we get on to a stage where we're probably nearly pareja, so that word'll do.
Good word. I like it.

Yes, I did read that as unrequited - oops.

Sounds like she's your pareja to me (pronounced pa-RAY-ha)

Good luck!

az

The luck has worked, thanks. We talk about all our problems and stuff like best friends, ain't it cuwte...
You'll find your pareja, az. Just don't WAIT for him/her. Go get 'em.

well, it's now 2.21 am so I don't think I'll be going 'out there' tonight to find my pareja.

But I am truly happy for you. I think it is wonderful you have found someone who is both a lover and best friend. Lucky boy!

talk to you soon.

kissitos,
az

Ah, I had some bad experiences which put me off sex for many a while. Coitus Interruptus being up in the top five. So I'm not looking for a lover, and she, being a nice, upstanding teenage girl, is fine by that.
I'm sorry, I really should stop boasting about my pareja and I to you. It's just I'm soooooo happy.
Oops, did it again. I'd probably get very annoyed if someone did it to me, so just one more: I'm typing slowly, quietly, trying not to wake my parents, since I'm only on here because I came to talk to...her...
(See, you'll be this lucky some time).

Don't be ridiculous! I LOVE hearing you boast! It makes me happy to hear about your happiness. Truly.

Hmmm, no sex, eh? Oh well.

yeah, I'll get lucky some day. And you'll know about it straight away cos you'll see two blue moons in the sky and large pigs flying about all over the place.

With love, all things are possible.

az

Aah, knock it off. Everyone gets someone, even if they aren't quite your pareja, and even if you don't get someone, you don't always need one. No sex - I'm beginning to think I'm an abnormal teen. Teen pregnancy has scared me off for a little while, and at this point I was about to launch into more details, but you wouldn't particularly want to hear them.
I bet we seem the right little icon of young love at its best. The weird thing is, until three months ago, I hated all romantics and didn't believe in love, and I'm still a little confused and exploratry.

yes, well, while I would certainly never press you for details about your personal life, I would be interested in anything you'd like to talk about.

friends, eh?

az

I love giving details of my personal life, it always ends up fun some way or another. I used to trump many of my peers in school in any way you'd care to measure personal details, pain, gain, etc. But I have a feeling I might not be so lucky against you.
Friends, eh? Eh?

nah, you'd lose for sure! heck, by the time I was your age I'd already lived 9 lives.

but it's not a contest. just sharing.

az

why are you up so late? why am I?
