Adventures of a Perpetual Player: A Backwards Trilogy (Part 3)

Long ago, in a galaxy--I mean state--far, far away, there was a group of friends who met in college. And in that group of friends, there was a Perpetual Player (also affectionately known as Man Whore). The story of Perpetual Player takes place over four years and involves five different women, some of them at the same time. This story will be told in reverse--we will start in 2005 and travel back in time to the year 2001. We may need a flow chart.

The phrase “wait, wait, don’t tell this story” is becoming common in my life. Someone will start a story and then interrupt themselves to say “you can’t blog about this,” and I usually roll my eyes and say “fine.” Sometimes they are great stories and I cry a little on the inside that I can’t use them. So after three months of writing this blog, I want to officially say thank you to all my friends who let me blog about their lives, tell me stories about their friends, and who have not yet voted me off the friend island. The award for the greatest group of friends ever goes to:

Bad Decisions are Like Forest Fires

Let’s Reevaluate our Decision-making Paradigm.

What are bad decisions?

The other day on the way to work Miss Manners and I were discussing what we should do over this weekend.

Miss Manners: “We could go out dancing?”

Me: “That would work. Especially since Sunshine Girl called me last night and said she ‘wanted to go make some bad decisions.’ I think dancing could facilitate bad-decision-making.”

Miss Manners: “I find that when you go out with the intent of making bad decisions, it never really happens. We always end up talking to gay guys/dudes with girlfriends/married guys who are trying to be good wingmen to the one single guy in the group.”
