I mean I'll do the same thing to a girl if I can. I hate stringing someone along, as I know I hate being strung along.
There was this girl who was interested in me a week or two ago and we were supposed to go do something that night. I just called her up and told her there was someone else who I was interested in and that it wasn't anything personal but I told her I would rather be honest with her than lead her on. She didn't seem too upset about it, so I feel like I handled it in the best way I could have. |
No she probably got on the phone with some guy who liked her, and cry to him about you for three to five hours. Then he calls me up, and talks about how he wished he could work up the nerve to ask her out.
Pretty sure that's how it went down.

That's entirely possible, but at least I know I couldn't have handled it much differently with a better result. And if we would have gone out I would have either had to be really distant or else act like I was interested in her when I was really interested in someone else (a girl who, ironically, had a boyfriend, much to my chagrin. But I was very convinced she was interested in me).
Plus I had better things to do that night. I think I watched a Clint Eastwood movie. I definitely made the right choice. I am the kind of person who doesn't like to waste time with a girl unless I am genuinely interested in her. Otherwise I end up wasting my time and her time.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
