So you know that syndrome where a girlfriend seems to drop off the face of the planet when she has a boyfriend? I'm starting to think it's not such a bad thing or else I have the my own proportional syndrome that involves a galpal who is in the "honeymoon" phase of a new relationship - I don't want to hear from her for a couple of weeks til they regain brain function from all the headbangin' on the headboard. You know formerly wry, witty and coherent girlfriend becomes all cutesy, wilting, gigglely and talks about him constantly - and you can always tell when "He" is within eye shot or ear shot or arm's reach because she talks with a smile and they keep finding cute ways to involve him in a conversation with you "oh - ha ha - did you just hear that?" "awww, he said to remind you..." "hahahaha noooo, I didn't stop saying that pookey!" *smoochsmoochsmooch* "uhm, can I can I call you back in a little while?"

I know, sour grapes or whatever but seriously they should be sequestered on Fantasy Island until they can carry on a conversation. Its almost worse then a new mother with an attention intensive child of any age - she can't complete a single thought because their kid is apparently always getting into things, climbing on the cabinets with a knife in his teeth, lighting the toilet paper roll on fire, falling at their feet dying of starvation - or at least that's what I envision with "No Bobby! Get down from there!" "I said we will in just a minute - Mommy's trying to talk honey." "Janey stop yanking on the bunny's ears... Janey... Janey!" "OoooK, here is a juice box... in a minute... in a minute..." *klunk BAM!* "OMG! I have to call you back!!! *click*" .... this was just a dramatization, no children were harmed in the making of this post.

Now, I know its just a narcissistic pet peeve but if you seriously can't hold a conversation it's okay you don't have to "phone it in". I know you are busy and I understand - really I do. I can entertain myself until a more convenient time arrives and I'll be happy to see you and catch up then... hopefully one more then one topic of conversation.
This concludes todays bitch fit.
