Hi,

This being my first post and all, I understand Im supposed to ask a plethora of questions and make numerous inane statements. i.e. "OMFG jays sooo hot" "Whats a nubian" " ( insert quote about eating shit from strke back here) "

but no, todays the day where the newbie breaks convention ( though Im sure Ill take a barrage saying this is just as inane as the next post )

Now Ive got a little story to make here. Yes it does get on-topic eventually for the board police out there (this may be my first post but Ive lurked long enough) Its a little long but here goes.

Not long after my father passed ( about two months ) I met THE girl. She really picked me up and carried me through the whole mess. We started the relationship not expecting very much from each other but it really grew beyond all expectations from either of us. The first year admittedly was a little rough but the second, jesus, fairy book stuff. Really first rate. Couldnt ask for more. I was on the top of the world and striding through life.

Being the fuckwit that I am, looking back on it, I started to take her for granted. I stopped listening to her and started walking away.

"Fuckin A!!"

No, idiot, it was easily the stupidest thing Id ever done up till that point. Little did I know I was going to get stupider.

She was living with me at the time and one day she sat me down, told me she needed a break and she was moving out. Now at the time I cant say I wasnt expecting it. It wasnt the easiest time and I thought that it was the time to end it.

Two days later Id realised I was an idiot and I desperately wanted to try again. So we started hanging out more and more, shed stay over (nothing would happen, just talk) and it was slowly coming back together ( or so I thought )

Then one day she shows up in tears with a letter
While we where apart she slept with someone else and now she was pregnant.

I couldnt beleive it. Shocked beyond belief.

So there was no reconciliation, ( I could barely look after myself let alone a child, let alone someone elses ). but she stayed over quite often, in fact I was the one who took her to the hospital. Of course I was going mental by this stage, and she, while in labour, saw that and said I should leave. I knew she wanted me to stay and help her but I took the opening and ran. Most shameful thing Id ever done. I dont know why but she still wanted me as a friend

So we stayed friends, I definitely loved her and I think she felt the same but because of the child and what he meant, there we stayed. Friends

One day, about four months later, she phoned me and said the baby had died.
Cot death. Couldnt see it coming. I tried to help, thinking of my father and the pain but I dont think it really could compare. I just did my best to support her. She moved out of my town soon after, about 40kms away.

She rang me the other day to say she was seeing someone. The local hippie she works worth. I felt gutted. Not against her, she was moving on in her life, good for her. I still loved her ( Im such a loser like that).

Now here comes the " on topic " section:

I decided Id tell her how I felt and see if we couldnt try again. To be honest there really wasnt a chance in hell of it working but, Id seen it in a movie and, fuck, it was worth a shot. I think the Holden and Alyssa scene in the truck, in the rain, after the diner is probably the best piece of writing Kevins ever done. Holden hung his balls out there in a virtual no win situation because he got to the stage he had no option but to get it out there and damn the consequences.

Now she isnt a lesbian, and Im no Hollywood star of Reindeer Games but you never know.

No I didnt ACTUALLY repeat any dialogue from the movie ( well maybe the " inevitable....shootdown " bit, gotta love that pause ). It was more the backed in a corner and letting fly bit that really seemed appropriate. And the whole bit about the painting? Thatve just plain confused her.

So thats where Im at now. Depending on the response to this post Ill let you know if Im blissfully happy, or if, as Jay says, " movies are fuckin bullshit,man"

Oh one more thing, any view askew object ever inspire you to do or say something incredibly inappropriate like the above? Please post away.

If youve got this far, youre a trooper. Well done.
