future perfect tense

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011 | tags: , , , , ,  |

Will you have forgotten me? Our first kiss was a surprise, not in the script or rehearsals. You’d planned it without knowing how I would’ve reacted. Your move wasn’t blocked, your instincts were right. A perfect, if tense, moment.

We didn’t know then, that I would’ve stayed with you forever. After you’d left, I expected to find someone else, or that someone else would’ve found me. Decades later, my spontaneous phonecall bought four hours of laughter. Briefly, centre stage again before returning to my place in the wings.

My future will have been littered with walk-on parts, as an optional-extra.

This 100 word post was darned hard to write, more drafts than an Irish castle! I’m normally too lazy to think about using tenses and suspect I’ve used the future perfect, imperfectly. The effort was inspired by the efforts, and an outstanding 100 word post, of Happy Frog and I

rather bad dream

Monday, December 14th, 2009 | tags: , , , , , , ,  |

In my dream I was  still living with the *anker  that I actually  left in 2000 after years of building up the pluck to walk out.   Tight black leather jeans, tears bullying,   and that was just his his contribution to the dream, mine was even more icky.   I fell over several times at a cricket match during the game.   Most embaressing.

exclusivity

you’re the only girl for me

We laughed together at his assertion.    It was one of the most honest expressions of closeness I’d heard then or since.  

After two weeks of dating that involved lots of

  • laughter,
  • sleeplessness,
  • loud singing after dark,
  • passionate debating of  the relative efficacies of pychological theories,
  • burning of incence, nicotene and canabis

He dumped me.  

Easing the suprise with the phrase ‘you’re the only girl for me’ and  explaining that he preferred boys.   With hindsight, this explained the dearth in exchanges of bodily fluids.  

20 years later. He’s still passionate, humourful, debating, smoking, prefering boys and I’m still the only girl for him.   Only now there is even  less excahniging of bodily fluids because the boy’s grown into a christian

sofa escape

Friday, October 5th, 2007 | tags: ,  |

1994-2007

This sofa with  design and print  chosen by a person I lived with in   1994.  

He wouldn’t take it when he left.   He dumped me with the sofa-print from hell.   It’s fabulously comfortable and works perfectly well as a Sofa if you shield your eyes or use a throw.   Hence the sofa and I spending 13 years together despite the ‘looks’ issue.   But.  

Enough is enough

Craigslist put an end to the relationship.   Hoorah.   Furniture Freedom!

sleepy sunny sunday dawn, 1990

Sunday, June 24th, 2007 | tags: , ,  |

The sunrise thrust an orange glow through the undressed window onto the freshly painted brilliant white bedroom walls.    A small, sparsely decorated, warm,  dry  first new  home.   The bedroom empty,  save a matress upon which  is scattered a  duvet, pillows, sleepy him and I.   After unpublishable morning exercise two large mugs of tea joined us in the bedroom.

wendy:   this could be the most exquisite, happiest, moment of our whole lives.     it’s all downhill from here

him:   it’s not far down from a matress on the floor

wendy:   lets remember this morning for the rest of our lives…    

 him:   a little more exercise and another cuppa will help secure the memory

wendy: …mmmmmm….. (unpublishable)
