by how un-upset i was to let her go
lol i dont feel like a 22yo needs to 'work on' a relationship
there are plenty of fish in the sea

21:08David
thats true brian

21:08Brian
1.3/2 billion

21:08David
lolz

21:08Brian
in china alone

21:09David
however
this illusion that you are under
that relationships
just work
all by themselves
is sadly mistaken

21:10Brian
leul im under no illusion
they 'just work' for a finite time
after which i jettison them

21:10David
hmm
a suitably worrying thought
mr corr
perhaps
it might be nice, to try?

21:11Brian
no point
just get a new one
like trying to fix a broken glass
no point
glasses are cheap

21:13David
that they are
but
if you keep on breaking glasses
then all you end up with
is a multitude of cheap glasses
instead of some nice crystal
you know
waterford or soemthing

21:13Brian
but you always have something to drink out of
and also you don't get worried that youll break your fancy crystal
i hate drinking out of fancy glasses im not comfortable in case i drop it

21:15David
but if you take care of your cheap glasses, then you will know what it takes to look after an expsensive one
that is great

21:15Brian
no point

21:15David
for entertaining at dinner parties
and showing off to friends

21:15Brian
get a plastic cup

21:15David
:D:D
cheap glasses and plastic cups can only sustain you so long
eventually
you will miss what all your peers have
eg
waterford crystal
and you will be left an epmtpy, broken shell of a man
without nice glasses

21:16Brian
quite the opposite
you will covet the variety
while you're drinking every beverage from the same fancy glass
i'm trying out new wacky designs
drinking from curly straws

21:17David
LOL
no you
are using and breaking
a never ending supply of cheap glasses

21:17Brian
but each one is according to my whim
you're tied to one glass

21:17David
you shall never know
but oh what a glass!
waterford crystal for gods sake!

21:18Brian
i'm all about the inside of the glass
anyhow some glasses are better for different occasions
like maybe you want a coffee. are you gonna drink from your waterford crystal then?

21:20David
HAH i worked hard and payed good money for my wateford crystal! i would drink my own urine out of it if i wanted to!
