...when you meet someone who's fond of generalizations and who drops statements without any disclaimers? The usual answer would no doubt be, a feeling of annoyance toward said person. But what if you were forced to be stuck with said person for a period of time and you have absolutely no choice in the matter. You cannot choose to leave (unless you are willing to forfeit some sum of money) and you cannot choose to ignore (because you'll have to provide feedback on your time together). What would you do then? Well, quoting a favorite line...
"I'll just have to answer my own question."
The answer of course is to endure. Though not to endure alone, mind you. Now and then, enduring with some company helps lessen the weight of your predicament because others can empathize. And empathize with company we did.
This is not my usual cup of tea but for you? and for a friend?...I'll make an exception.
Today is the day that our time together expires and we are all extremely happy to bid you a hearty adieu. Though I am unsure if my statement stands for us all, I am sure that most that I know feels that way.
Note: See, i disclaim and not assume that everyone thinks so.
Should you be remiss to realize that this entry is dedicated to you, then, allow me to remedy my error by stating that this is for you Ms. Gasoline (as a friend so fondly nicknamed). And on behalf of most of us who share my personal sentiments, this is what we have to say...
It would be so rude to dismiss the time we spent together as a waste of space in our personal hard drives. And it would be absolutely improper to not acknowledge that despite everything that we've gone through, something was conveyed and acquired by our minds. So it is only right of us to take our white hats off and thank you for the moments of communal exasperation that you have provided us all and of course, let's not forget, even those information that we have not asked to learn.
Short as the time we have shared, it would be with great pleasure to say that we will miss you (simply because most of us would no longer have a reason to share infuriation) and that we really hope to get another opportunity to be yet again, stuck with someone like you.
However, as the author Oscar Wilde states (yes, some of us, although I am sure that most, do read and can quote), I am not young enough to know everything.
...and my judgement has already been marred by my growth. Therefore whatever that may have been said here may be true...or not.
