- the eternally depressed Markian of Gooley sighs:
- < I always feel left out at these affairs, but I'm going anyway.
-
- sure, be a sterling example of self
- sacrifice. i've been toying with
- the idea of going, but there is the
- small matter of having no reliable
- sitter for the daughter (you think
- i'm gonna bring a charming, bright
- young six-year-old to a bob? think
- not) and the other matter of no
- reliable&cheap method of getting to
- virginiyay and back to wallaballoo
- over just the weekend. make me look bad.
-
- there's also the irrational fear that
- some fool of whom i've never heard will
- spend hours lavishing its clearly
- unwanted attentions on me (hey, i know
- i'm not goddess material, but i do have
- these horncreature-attracting features
- that my housemate claims cause me back
- pain and headaches to the point that i
- go through a.s.a. much faster than any
- rational organism).
-
- i do exist(*), it's just hard for a
- single-parent type with a mortgage to
- bob off at the best of times. i must
- make an effort to visit some of the
- oldbies one of these days. maybe this
- summer i should do a driving tour of
- the northeast and snarf free lodging
- from y'all.
-
- < I will bring homebrew (maybe my killer treacle-and-carob stout, which
- < I could give some t.b-ish name). I will get drunk and see the whole
- < affair through beer goggles.
-
- ooooh, i love a good stout, and my
- own cellars are begging me to start
- another batch of beers (if i can find
- all the equipment, i think its in the
- garage with the quick-frozen cockroach
- corpses).
-
-
- damn guiness is too expensive
-
- (*) hell, my xian alter-ego still exists in here somewhere too.
