Good News For PW Leaves Me As 3rd or 5th Wheel

Well, I’m happy to announce that PW has a new boyfriend. The sad part for her is that he lives in England and will from now on be refered to here as English. They met years ago online and have been friends for some time, but after his second visit, the chemistry was quite evidence and he sent her flowers and candy for her birthday — which of her friends was really only remembered by me; not even her roommate El remembered it. Anyway, they hooked up on this last trip and to here her talk it’s all heavenly. New couples are always so cute.

She swore she wouldn’t do the long distance thing again but here she is. You can’t always pick where and when and who you fall for. I can tell she’s worried I won’t like him; as you know, her last boyfriend turned husband was never one of my favorite people and I had warned her about him and this had caused problems. However, this new guy is older than her, has a really well-paying job, is a family guy, and likes to do more than just play on the computer. She says that he likes to talk about a lot of things including politics, which sounds great by me. Actually if she likes to talk politics with him then I probably will too as I find her to be very open-minded politically and we agree on many points and I doubt she would say such a thing if he were more like BJ and Peter, both of which get angry if you don’t agree with them.

Anyway, I have been planning a vacation with PW, El, El’s mom and possibly El’s boyfriend. I’ve travelled with all of them before and kind of know what to expect. I was planning on relying on PW to be the sane person in the group but since her boyfriend is now coming, I will likely be stuck in a room with the crazy fighting people. :plain: PW reluctantly offered to share their room with me but I wouldn’t take her up on that — new couple in a long distance relationship is not an experience I want up close. After all, I’ve already done that with her once.

Ah, well. I’m happy for her and I believe some other friends I have may be going so hopefully I’ll have an escape. Now if I can just get El to make some decisions about the hotel and length of stay so I can finalize my plans.
