OK following in MT’s theme, If whistles were… LADIES IN MY LIFE.
(all, I apologise in advance, I have just read what I’ve written and it’s pants. But I have spent so long on it that I can’t not post it! So here it is…)
I’m at college and Christina Abell .. wow she’s hot. She’s always been the popular college girl, with her long blond hair and merry laugh. Everything about her is beautiful… thus placing her firmly out of my league. I swig my pint and realise that she is far too good for me, the only way I’m gonna get a girl like that is if I have loadsa money!!!
My current girl is pretty enough, a young exchange student from Japan, Jenny Susato. Her voice is like a bell, but GD is she is sooo giggly. I can hear her laugh all the way across the bar. Hope she doesn’t catch me staring at Christina.
I drift off into memory lane, thinking of those girls I knew in my earlier years - those Generations X’s who once had to put up with my fumblings while trying to figure out how to undo a bra with one hand, without really knowing what to do if I ever did manage it. Oh there were many a girl, some were pretty, some were pretty ugly, but they were all fun! (and cheap dates too if i remember right.)
I snap out of my daydreaming as “Gwendoline” Shaw comes over and says in a husky voice “honey, have you got a light for my cigarette”. A voice so sultry I wonder has she smoked one too many. Well Gwen turned out to be a real nice girl and we spent a lot of time together. She was soft and gentle, but a little quiet so took a lot of talking too when we were out. I had to make all the conversation. Quite the opposite of my ex, Jenny Susato where I couldnt get a word in edgeways.
Fast forward a few years, I’m in my mid 30’s. Cristina Abell is a distant memory, fading as fast as my dreams of making ‘loadsa money’. I’ve met a lovely lady called Jessica Sindt. Quite homely, and not too bad looking. Shes actually kinda pretty in the right light. But the best thing is she can cook, look after the bills, and she can sing too! Nice. She gets on with everyone and doesn’t embarrass me in public. My family like her. I think shes a keeper.
I’m looking forward to a long happy life with Jessica Sindt, love you Mrs Sindt. I’ll be happy with you forever, and I will never need another.
… but I wonder what Christina is up to these days, i wonder if she’s on facebook? Hmm maybe Jeny Susato is on it too. I’m wonder if Jessica will mind if I just get back in touch with some of my old “friends”.
