Guy 1 says:

Guy 1 says:

Guy 2 says:

Guy 1 says:
word
Guy 1 says:
I remember coming back and having two beers just to sleep
Guy 2 says:
welcome to my life
Girl says:
aw thanks to my first hubby robz
Girl says:
married in a tattoo shop, reception at the local pub a day later…high class I tell ya
Girl says:
however, to make our mothers’ happy, we’ll have a more formal ceremony next year, when we’ve actually met each other’s family by then…
…….
Girl says:
funny story, when we called and he was going to ask for my hand in marriage, I asked dad what he’d think if I decided to get married
Guy says:
and your pops said?
Girl says:
his reply was, well shit, lord knows you’ve been around the block enough times to know what you want and what you don’t want so if you’re going to do it, I guess you know what you’re doing
Girl says:
….pause….*thanks dad*
Guy 1 says:
Should be nice and cool this time of year, heh.
Guy 2 says:
she just got back from dubai
Guy 2 says:
i hate her
Guy 1 says:
There’s a system of man-made islands off the coast of Dubai which are made to look like a map of the world if you fly over.
Guy 1 says:
Bill Clinton owns one.
Guy 1 says:
Brad Pitt owns one.
Guy 1 says:
Isn’t the middle-east our enemy?
Guy 2 says:
yes
Guy 2 says:
and those islands initially sold for 1 million dollars
Guy 2 says:
and the only way to get to them is by air or boat
Guy 2 says:
there is also a ski park on top of a mall there
Guy 1 says:
I think the islands will all launch up into space and they’ll build a new world without us somewhere else,
Guy 2 says:
man. kinda early for spliff politics right?
Guy 1 says:
Think about it man, they shaped it like the world, put foliage and animals on each island to represent the country you bought, only the uber rich get one, Bill Clinton has one, and it’s in the middle of what is supposed to be America’s enemy territory. That thing isn’t a vacation getaway… it’s Noah’s Ark.
So, my girlfriend is really feeling miserable, and is now going to QuickCare at my insistence. While she does that, I will be doing what she was doing, namely looking after her friend’s kids.
I don’t know how long it will take, but I will be back there shortly after she gets back here.
Wish me luck dealing with a very very loud (my left ear is going to go deaf quite soon) two year old and a surprisingly calm six year old (almost zen like, just sitting there staring at the wall, weird and kind of disturbing). I will need it, seriously.
Babysitting OSPF seems trivial by comparison, and actually quite appealing at the moment. WTF have I gotten myself into??
Back when I can, if I survive,
