Shelley and Maggie
20 Nov
Shelley had lots of friends. She had her bestest friend Maggie and her cousins Gertie and Lucy to talk to when her bestest friend wasn’t around.
So, she wondered why it just didn’t seem like enough. Why, oh why, did she think she had to have more friends. What exactly was missing in her life that new friends would be able to give her.
And as she was thinking these things her bestest friend Maggie showed up.
“Hi Fathead. That giant zit there on your bulbous melon looks like it’s about ready to explode.” said Maggie.
Maggie always seemed to know just the right things to say to pull Shelley out of the sad mood she was in.
“Thanks for your kind observations you skanky slut” replied Shelley not knowing what the words skanky or slut really meant. She assumed that they meant cool chick or something but cool chick didn’t roll off her tongue like skanky slut did.
“If your head doesn’t implode with that zit are you planning to go to the singles dance?” continued Maggie.
“I hadn’t really thought much about it” replied Shelley all the while wishing the question had left another opening for the words skanky slut. She so wanted to use it again.
“Are you planning to go?” she continued as she bit her tongue so as not to add skanky slut to the end of her question. She didn’t want to waste the phrase on every answer I guess.
“Of course I am” said Maggie. “There will be boys there and I want to snag one.”
“Boys” thought Shelley out loud. “That’s it. Boys. I want to meet boys. I want a boyfriend.”
“Why should my skanky slut of a bestest friend always be the one who has boyfriends while I’m sitting at home waiting for her to visit” she continued to think out loud.
“I heard every word you said Shelley. You were thinking out loud again. Crippers..” said Maggie.
So they both laughed. For no real reason that I can think of.
“We’ll both go to the dance” continued Maggie. “And I’ll find a boy for you.”
So they did go to the dance. After they had popped Shelley’s giant zit. And cleaned up the ensuing mess from the walls and carpet.
And a short time later, both Maggie and Shelley married boys. And they had many adventures together as couples. Although not as many as they had when they were single skanky sluts together.
So today’s question is:
1) Have you ever gone to a singles dance?
Talk about frenemies…lol.
I have been to singles dances once or twice in my life and about an equal number of singles meetings. I have to say, they just aren’t for me. I usually feel very uncomfortable in situations where the main focus of the event is to meet other singles. It feels too forced.
I’ve never actually been to one.
One of the clubs here is called Adventures for Successful Singles.
I always wondered why, if they were so successful, they were still single..
I do agree that meeting people that way would feel kind of forced.
And based on what I’ve heard there aren’t many of them ending up in long term relationships..
So, you’ve investigated them, eh? If you’re anything like me, only one or two people probably told you that there weren’t too many ending in long-term relationship (probably because they themselves didn’t), blowing that up in your mind and using it as an excuse not to attend one of their functions
hahaha…I started writing a whole bunch more, but when I saw how longwinded I was getting, I thought, hey, this would make a great post for my own site. So, you’ll have to wait until later today to read the rest of my comment over there
Ooooooooooh, I love that “reply” feature on your comments. That way, you can gear your comment to just that person if you want. Wonder if I can get that for blogspot.
I’m not sure if nested comments are part of Blogger.
Glad you like this feature. I didn’t really get the point of them until yesterday.
You do realize that nested comments are kind of goofy when there is only one commenter.
It’s not like any comment isn’t directed at either you or me, ha,ha..
Well, you’re just gonna have to start marketing your blog so we aren’t just talking to ourselves, aren’t you?…lol
