The Gulf War was reassuring in a way: there was definitely an enemy and he would definitely lose. This is another matter entirely.

This is so disturbing. I think that weddings just disturb me because they involve so much money and are so me-focused for the Bride and Groom. As egotistical as i am, me-focused events always scare the living daylights out of me, as i would just rather occasionally steal the spotlight and then cooly return it to its owner. But, anyway, the fact that you can plan a wedding online scares the crap out of me. Sure, in terms of registering for gifts and things of that nature it’s fine, but otherwise it’s a bit creepy. Don’t you think so?
Anyhow… so, if my life’s teevee version is going anything like it would be if it was a Must-See sitcom, the girl would be chasing me now. Because… because i’ve been playing “Ross” my whole life (except for never having a pet monkey) (yet), and every girl has been “Rachel,” and eventually one of them has to turn around and notice me after i think that hope is gone. Except.. that sorta requires me to move on in an adult-like fashion, which i’m not so wonderful at doing. Of course, Ross had a crush on Rachel for about a decade. So, i’ve got nine years left, at least. And i’m set for the wait.
Wow, watching old Friends episodes is so strange. Watching Ross moon over Rachel while knowing the whole time that they almost sleep with each other out of pity in this season’s opener, or Chandler and Monica quipping at each other. And this bit… “She said she’s looking for a relationship with someone just like me.” “She did?” “Well, i added the ‘someone just like me’ part.” … err, and also a bit eery. Shades of real life… well … ugh, that’s a whole other post entirely. Stay tuned.
