:55:00
Well, I kind of see this all love as this, uh,
escape for two people who don't know how to be alone, y'know,
:55:06
or, uh. I mean, y'know its funny. People always talk about how
love is this totally unselfish, giving thing, but if you think about it,
y'know, there's nothing more selfish.
:55:17
Yeah, I know. So,
:55:20
she just broke up with you?
:55:23
What?
:55:26
You sound like you've just been hurt, or something.
:55:29
No.... do I?
:55:30
Yeah.
:55:30
Alright. Um,
:55:32
Big confession, y'know.
:55:34
I should have told you the earlier, or something, but,
:55:38
y'know... I didn't just come to Europe just to
:55:41
hang out, and read Hemingway in Paris, and shit like that, y'know.
:55:44
I saved up my money all spring to, uh, fly to Madrid, and
:55:48
spend the summer with my girlfriend, who has been on this...
:55:51
Your girlfriend?
:55:51
My EX-girlfriend, who has been on this asinine art history program for the last year.
:55:55
Anyway, I got here, right, and now we're re-united, at long last,
and we went out to dinner, our first night,
:56:01
ah, with six of her friends.
:56:03
Pedro, Antonio, Gonzalo, Maria, Suzie, from home, y'know.
:56:08
She pretty much managed to avoid being
alone with me for the first couple of days
we were there, and I stuck around for a while,
:56:12
just to kind of let it really sink in that she wished I hadn't come.
:56:18
So I bought the cheapest flight out of Europe, this one leaving out of Vienna tomorrow,
:56:22
but it didn't leave for a couple of weeks. So, I bought this Eurail pass, y'know.
:56:24
y'know what's the worst thing about somebody breaking up with you?
:56:32
Its when you remember how little you thought about the people you broke up with,
:56:36
and you realize that that is how little they're thinking about you, y'know.
:56:41
Y'know, you'd like to think that you're both in all this pain,
but really, they're just, Hey, I'm glad you're gone.
:56:47
I know.
:56:49
You should look at bright colours.
:56:51
What?
:56:52
That's what the shrink told me, y'know. I was paying her 900 francs an hour,
to hear that I was a homicidal maniac,
:56:59
and that I could eliminate my obsession if I would concentrate on bright colours.
