What Goes On In My Heed!!!

"I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.

I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.

I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple, When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn't bother you, because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care.

All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good.

I want to believe that anything is possible. I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.

I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than they are, money in the
bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.

So . . . here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401,000 statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood."

I wish......anyone else?

I was put in a real spot last night......

Went out singing at a pub in a nearby village, just around the corner from where I usually sing.

Now in my usual pub, there's this couple, and I'm quite fond of her, but because she was going out with him, I obviously never took it any further than friendship and became friends with both of them, which I was and still am happy with (really). I did mention to someone in conversation a while ago that if she was on her own, then I might have took my chances, but I'm not the person to go after someone elses girl.

They've recently split up as he doesn't know what he wants etc (I'm not getting involved). I'm still friends with both of them and not taking sides, even though I still feel something for her. She however is still besotted with him which I have accepted. He's asked her to wait while he decides what he wants.

Well she came in last night, sang a couple of songs and downed a fair amount of alcohol. At the end of the night, she invited some friends back to hers for a house party including me.....

I didn't go.....reason?

Because she wanted me to share her bed with her!!!

Not for sex (thankfully), but she feels lonely and wanted me to provide company for her. I can understand this because it's a horrible feeling being on your own when you're not used to it.

I said no I couldn't.

For three reasons....

Firstly because she was drunk.

Secondly because.....(how do I say this?) bearing in mind what I wrote earlier in this post, I was doing very well at supressing how I felt and had accepted that we would have nothing more than friendship. I didn't want to risk anything happening to spoil it.

Thirdly because it wasn't the right thing to do anyway.

I realise that I'm not very good at explaining this, but I tried to be a gentleman (as I always do) and show her respect. She couldn't understand why I wouldn't, but as I said she was drunk. I'm hoping that when she sobered up, she realised why. She was very upset though at my refusal.

I know this makes me sound bad, but it was upsetting for me to say no. I know I did the right thing, but there was a girl I like and under different circumstances I would say yes to, asking me to do that when she was vulnerable.....I couldn't do it to her. I couldn't do that to anyone.

What a situation

What do you think?
