Fun Monday October 15 2007

here is your Fun Monday assignment this week:

Describe your meeting with your spouse/significant other. I especially want to hear "meet cute" stories. And it doesn't have to be your actual current sig/other. Perhaps the "meet cute" story is a former boy/girlfriend... or even a best friend. Illustrate with photos, of course.

When it comes to “meet cute” this story is just made for it;

Picture this a romantic setting on a tropical island, a warm evening with a gentle sea breeze just enough to make the palm trees whisper their secrets.

Onto this canvas now lets paint a young couple who have just recently met and are busy with the process of falling in love, our romantic setting takes the shape of a resort with waterside bungalows and a wonderful restaurant where they are presently enjoying a fabulous meal with a bottle of red wine to finish it off.

Now picture them strolling along the waters edge under a full moon happily planning the next few days together and hinting that perhaps it will be more than that…. maybe even a life time.

Buuzzz, Buuzzz, Buuuzzz, that’s the bloody alarm clock going off, time to wake up and smell the exhaust fumes, who the hell lives that kind of live in the real world.

I did say that the story above was just made for it, I could have added just made up for it, my real life entry would say something like, we met after a Tom Jones concert “It’s Not Unusual” followed by a few tentative dates while we sized each other up and decided that as there was nothing better on offer perhaps we should,,,,,, well you know how it goes.

The first story was an effort to paint an exotic picture and the second one was a fairly typical male simplification of what really happened, suffice to say the ensuing marriage lasted for nearly 25 years before it crumbled to dust, much to my dismay.


Ah, back in the good old "Clingy" days.
