The Old Ball & Chain

Conversation earlier today with anono newly engaged friend:

ANEF: Yeah, it's a little weird being the first of our friends to be engaged. I mean, it's not like we're young.
Me: True. Maybe the rest of us are just a bunch of losers that nobody wants to spend the rest of their life with.
ANEF: Maybe.

Now that is what friends are for.

Speaking of...I don't think I have mentioned this, but I just found out recently that I am totally being played. Well, kind of. I mean, I guess you can't really be played in this kind of situation, so I really really should have expected this and I wasn't actually all that surprised when I found out, but still... I don't want to go into too much detail, but given my past history of internet research, let me just clear up that this information literally fell in my lap. I did not go hunting for it. It was casual "Oh did you hear..." I'm not sure what I am going to do about it, but I think that the most I am suffering from is a slightly bruised ego and i'llbelieveanylineyoutrytofeedme-itis. Vindication seemed like an option when I first found out, but now I think I am more amused than anything. I haven't been played in quite a while, but don't you worry, I am now 100% back in the game. Bring it on.
