Socks and the Karting

So often in my life have I thought things would always “work out” like the movies or TV. It never does, it like when someone who doesn’t believe in god prays anyway hoping 2+2=5. However, I’ve got this horrible feeling I am about to star in my very own episode of “My Worst Nightmare”.

Coming up at the end of June, pending enough entries, is the BUKC Legends race. There is a team entered by Marcus Haggers, of LMH College, Oxford. This team contains him and his mates. No problem with that. However, in a six degrees of Kevin Bacon style thing, one of these people could be someone I affectionately refer to as The Amazing Twat Boy. i.e. The guy who repeatedly asked out my girlfriend for three years. Who then got my girlfriend two weeks after she split up from me. I hated that guy. I hate that I have been told that we’re reasonably similar. Like he’s the inferior version of me that’s better overall because he’s nearby.

“So what?” I hear you cry. I’ve not seen the guy since all the crapness of last September. I do think I’d ever have to deal with this. Why do I possibly have to deal with it on what could be one of the best moments of the year.

Ok, we’re talking extremes here, but my life is turning into a TV show I do not want to watch.

    Alex, we’ve all been there. Believe me! We take one step back from our lives, thinking a soap script writer could not have planned the story like this. I know how you feel. I am sure you can rise above this. Afterall, you are the ‘good’ guy! Does that make sense?

    cut his brake line or ram him off the track

    I agree with Dange! cut the brake lines Alex :D

    Yep, there’ll be enough of us there to assist with some subtle sabotage… or at least keeping the two of you apart. But what about socks?

  6. Alex says:

    Well, because I had the thought that this was all a bit TV-land ish, I used a title that was a play on “Sex and the City”. For some reason “Socks” fitted. No socks were harmed in this making of this entry though. Consensus seems to be cut the brake lines. However, as Lydd is right on the coast, punting him off into the sea might be more fun.

    Cut the brakes! I managed fine enough without any at Clay though…

    I’m surprised Dange didn’t point out that 2+2 *does* =5.
    “You have not been paying attention”

    That is utterly ridiculous, the ‘cross between a dwarf and a goat’ (good one by the way!) is not going to be there and never was. Seems like you’re taking one slight conversational misunderstanding a little too far to me.

  9. sio says:

    gee ‘guess’, well done for having the balls to leave a name..

  10. Alex says:

    Ok, I’m not sure who that’s from…

  11. guess again says:

    just goes to show you should never talk about real life on your website

  12. Rick says:

    Why not? What’s wrong with real life? It’s be more worrying if he was talking about some weird made-up life…

  13. sio says:

    oh I don’t know Rick, I think it’d be kinda funny :D think of the fun he could have!
