So we’re all hanging out having a drink tonight and the best friend (certified HCB) of the girl I’m seeing says: “I’m seriously considering writing a book”.
I’m thinking it’s the drinks, but she obviously has seriously thought this **** out. She’s got chapters and she’s got the title to the book: “How to have it all”. I’m pretty tipsy at this point and I ask: “What’s having it all?” She replies: " You know, having a kid, having a husband, having a good nice family, having a career, having a house". I snap back: “Okay, but you don’t have a kid, you don’t have a husband, your business (that honestly, does quite well I’ll give her that) doesn’t even have its own office and you live at home. So you basically don’t have it all but you want to give advice to others on how to have it all?” I mean, this girl was born on 3rd base and thinks she hit a triple, which is one thing, but now she’s got the f’n nerve to talk about writing a book about how to be born on third base. Actually now that I think about it, that should be the title of the book “Born on 3rd base”.
Well, whatever she writes, I’m sure it won’t be worse than some other stuff that has been published. My Indian friend published a teen supernatural romance novel. It’s like Twilight but instead of vampires, it has these Indian mythological beings. I imagine rahul would write something like this if he were to write a novel.
The other day, I went to the Barnes and Noble store, and there is this guy doing book signings. I can’t avoid him because he is at the door and he trapped me. Apparently, his book is a political thriller set in some American town. The twist… is that the mayor is a secret vampire. I am like wtf is this shit…
Unless you plan to break up, then you should get it all out with relish. Especially if the best friend is a complete tool and you had to keep it all inside for almost 2 years and you knew all along it is a super sensitive topic because obviously the GF knows just how much a tool this best friend is, and you make a list and go over all the things you didn’t say over the years and… wait what?
Agreed. You’re right, she definitely chose her parents well, and has no business telling people how to have success that she’s never achieved, but bringing that to her attention is going to merit you…what, exactly?
And did you know? The “born on third base” quote was actually coined by a football coach. (Barry Switzer, head coach for the Oklahomo Spooners and later the Dallas Cowboys)
I’m giving it a shot, but I must admit that it’s less exciting and more time consuming. Making plans to see each other twice a week? Who has time for that?
