I love it when my friends hate my exes almost as much as I do.

I love it when my friends hate my exes almost as much as I do.

I’ve been seeing this guy for about six weeks now.  In that time, I 
Was his moral support while we watched Sinister
Convinced him that Bob’s Burgers is better than American Dad to watch/love Bob’s Burgers
Introduced him to my Clueless drinking game
Had chicken soup, buffalo wings, and bottled water delivered to his house when he was sick
Donated cash money to his Santa Speedo Run page
Engineered a natural disaster on his birthday so his flight in TX would be cancelled and he could enjoy some more time off
Bought him Cabin in the Woods as his actual present
I think we can all agree he needs to put a ring on it.

Important Conversations: I Spit Negative Game

  • me: I'm being a twat and listening to Demi Lovato. It was on my hold music and I just needed to hear it to get through today
  • Roddy: haha i dont think that makes you a twat
  • Roddy: I smell like perfume now...
  • me: You gchat like a character from Ulysses
  • me: I take it you dig James Joyce references this early in the morning
  • Roddy: HA. explain
  • me: Ulysses is considered by many to be one of the best novels to ever exist
  • me: Written by Dubliner James Joyce at the turn of the 20th century, it follows one character through his life over the course of one day, I believe
  • Roddy: but how am i like one of those characters
  • me: Of note, however, is the "stream of consciousness" style of writing that Joyce employed - also made famous by his novel The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
  • me: Which is a personal favorite of mine
  • me: The style of writing is similar to the way many people think - bizarre and quick transitions between seemingly unrelated or tangential topics
  • Roddy: in other words, i write like a scatter brain?
  • Roddy: I mean, that was a simpler way to put it, dont you think?
  • me: Yes, but mine was more charming because it involved literary allusions
