Status Update!
My FB status update today is “Cat is mightily pissed off” .. the reason being .. I’ll give you 3 guesses, but I am sure you will only require 1!
The Admirer!
Having said “we would eat early and have an early night” because we were so late the previous night having gone to see Indiana .. it was 10.30 by the time we ate (preceeded by 2 bottles of wine) .. and then about 2.30 by the time I finally poured myself into bed .. he fell asleep on the sofa!
During the course of dinner he said to me that he hadn’t any ties to the area or his job and could basically go anywhere in the country/world to work .. how did I feel about that? I skirted the answer and my reply was that I didn’t have any ties either, other than an ageing mother .. APPARENTLY that answer was the wrong answer or the answer he didn’t want (I cannot rightly remember as I was fairly asleep already with wine, fresh air and exercise). Sort of told him his fortune after that! Can anyone tell me what answer I was supposed to give, because I sure as hell don’t know!
Anyway .. it just further proved to me that the bloke is a twat!
It also proves to me that alcohol makes me arsey!

The correct answer should have be:
Oh, my sweet, sweet Admirer, have you had an offer of a job somewhere exciting and exotic, or did you just want to take me away from this terrible place somewhere where you and I could be together for all time without other people getting in the way?
Erm… ’should have been’
Well, it may make you feel better to know that as an adult female, I also have NO IDEA what you “should” have said…
Clearly a w&nker…
There clearly is no right answer to this, however I do find myself wondering – what has prompted him bringing this topic up?
He’s said it before and I gave the same answer then .. which is why it is doubly confusing!
I think Dom’s on the right lines there (although I nearly threw up)….
Alternatively, you could have said:
Excellent, but not too far, otherwise it’ll be really expensive for you to come and visit me
Clearly you were supposed to give the answer that he wanted to hear because he owns you, you are supposed to do his bidding, and your life now revolves around him.
You were selfish in bringing your mother into the conversation because that is not what he wanted to hear. You were supposed to say that you have no ties, that he is the only important aspect of your life, that you will do anything he says, and that you are completely under his control.
You’ll learn to be a good little lady girlfriend one of these days!
ARGH!
Dom … mebbe I’ll try that one
)
Soupy … I know I’m female and good at being totally arse about face but thank you for your confirmation that I am not totally off my head!
Dan … exactly!
Goron … actually yours sounds definitely better than Dom’s
Tender … I hadn’t considered that aspect – you could have a very valid point there! (and we all know that the most important person in this is MEEEEEEE! – I just need to tell myself that about 20 times a day
I think he was expecting something like: I’d go anywhere with you…. gak
Actually, as we all know, the most important person in all this (or, indeed, anything) is me. But you come a close second place in this instance
He wanted you to add him to the list of what could hold you back, i.e. your mother AND him.
Assuming he was not moving, that is.
