Kid Hypothetical and the Misconjugated Love · 31 July 05
Man, you know what would be hilarious?
Let’s say there was this half-blood dude living far, far, away.
So, this 100% hypothetical guy goes to a party and just has one of those ‘on’ nights. One of those nights when the energy is high and the conversation’s rolling. A night when you’re just channeling all things one should channel. Everyone has them.
(Some nights are more beautiful than others. Such was the world built.)
On said night, he is asked by multiple intellgent and funny girls if he has a girlfriend.
Wouldn’t it be funny if each time he said, “Why, no, I don’t have a girlfriend” the inquiring party had made a funny face and the conversation had ended shortly afterward?
Gosh, that sure would confuse said hypothetical dude.
And then, a few hours later, someone explains to him that he’s been misconjugating a word by one syllable . And this one syllable changes the meaning from “I don’t have a significant other” to “I don’t want or need a significant other”.
Oh, man, wouldn’t that would be awesome?
I’m so glad that was only hypothetical, though.
Um, right.

I welcome your (reasonably family-friendly) theories as to what on earth the romantic train is all about.

AND IN OTHER NEWS: I’ve received an amazing amount of goods in response to the old sticker trade offer. Much thanks.
August is student vacation, and I’ll get to work on my side of the bargain. Apologies for the slow response.
