Because this is MY fairy tale....
Cinderella Steve has a girlfriend. Isn't that just precious? Don't worry, it gets better. He was out that night looking to cheat.
How handy that I was there, no?
Word travels fast in magical kingdoms, and before he could say oh fuck, I had the little bastard on the phone. Cornered.
He denied it.
Only to call back fifteen minutes ago to apologize. Yes, he has a girlfriend. Yes, he's horribly sorry because (get this) I'm just so amazing and attractive that... well, you get the picture.
Cinderella Steve actually thanked me for being so "easy."
"Do you mean, thank you for being a whore? Or do you mean, thank you for being so understanding?"
"I meant, thank you for being understanding."
"You shouldn't have lied when I called you on it."
"I know."
"Fine then. Take care of yourself."
What is it with me?
Do I emit some sort of magnetic field that disables men and makes them forget significant factors like... they're already seeing someone? And it takes them several hours (during which they've attempted to go down my throat and up my skirt) to remember??
Let this be clear: I am no man's other woman. And what's more, I'm done with this. Done. You stupid lying bastards. My fairy tales do not end in "happily ever after." They end in, "what the fuck."
I totally hope he caught my cold.
Posted by This Fish at January 11, 2004 10:27 PMOh, I hope he catches it too, the bastard!
Posted by: saara at January 12, 2004 12:20 AMawww, so sorry! that sucks!
Posted by: dahl at January 12, 2004 09:11 AMfuckwit. i'm sorry he was such a bastard.
Posted by: mingaling at January 12, 2004 09:29 AMKarmically the next time he cheats {inevitable, no?} he will catch a rabid case of herpes or an especially itchy STD.
What a jerk. I'm glad I'll be seeing you this weekend sweetie.
{{hugs & smooches}}

p.s. i have your site linked to mine.
Hm not to start a fight but why does it seem like so many guys are dishonest and do crap like this?
Posted by: alicia at January 12, 2004 10:26 AMunfamiliar, extraordinary beauty + man unsure of his commitment to stable girlfriend = the escalation game
unfortunately, most men are very predictable
uuuuugh! why do boys do this? makes me insane. it's like when i was dating my ex (my "J") and he wooed his current flame--how can he come on to one when he already has one? uuuuuggggh!

Posted by: Iferlynn at January 12, 2004 11:51 AMMen are lame. I think so more and more every day.
Posted by: jennn at January 12, 2004 01:01 PMFish, you may need to be more shrewd and less easily smitten by the compliments men seem able to toss from their tongues with ease. Like "you're sexy" and "make me horny" and the like. I'd be less obviously thrilled by these.
Posted by: Katherine at January 13, 2004 01:26 AMbeen there done that..
Bastard!
Katherine, are you reading the same posts I'm writing? Those "compliments" which you mention came from a very good (very drunk) friend and they made me laugh until I thought I would pee my pants... not let him IN my pants.
Perhaps a little credit?
Posted by: Fish at January 13, 2004 07:33 AMUGH! Another one strikes again. That S-U-C-K-S.
Not sure whether or not this is any consolation, but at least he wasn't MARRIED! I think I'm the one attracting all of those guys.
Posted by: Mala at January 13, 2004 02:40 PMno Fish, my comments had nothing to do with your friend, they have to do with your beef about the men who let you down..the ones, you know that you met the proverbial hour ago.
Posted by: Katherine at January 13, 2004 09:33 PMP.S. I responded - as did the people above - to your post coming "soon on disney dvd" - not J's party. A little credit? :)
Posted by: Katherine at January 13, 2004 09:35 PMyeah, but check it... your comment as to 'you make me horny' etc are in direct reference to what W said at the party. What ditz falls for that shit!?
Posted by: Fish at January 14, 2004 01:55 AMI didn't intend that. After awhile all the things the men say become blurred to this reader. I still stand by my point that the compliments taken too much too heart do not have enough meaning to warrant any investment or expectation.
