All The Gossip From Back Home

I had a nice long talk with PW last night on the phone and got all the gossip from back home.

Apparently she hadn’t told El about her plans to move to England in February because it would make El harder to live with. El has always bragged about her trips to England and has made it no secret that she’s prefer living there than here. She a definite Anglophile. Anyway, El started spouting off about how in a year or so she wanted to move out on her own — though no one thinks she could possibly do that as she still can’t take care of herself — and PW decided that was the time to tell her about England. I’m told the look on El’s face was a mixture of jealousy and awe and shock.

Anyway, apparently, PW harrassed El everyday until she “found” Meg’s game and returned it to Peter.

El and her beaux are apparently nearing the end. She accused him of only going over there to use the internet and now he hardly ever goes over there. She told PW that she’s very unhappy with him but doesn’t want to break up because she likes the company — not sure what that means; maybe it’s the sex…which I will just say “ewwww, I must now burn out my mind’s eye!” So apparently they’re just using each other.

Meanwhile, apparently Meg is really unhappy with her new job and has said that if it doesn’t get better, she’s going to quit in 6 months. I hate to say it but I don’t think she’ll ever be happy practicing law. Once I asked her if she was happy with her work, she said that it was “tolerable.” The truth is I think she’s only ever really been happy when she was working in the theater.

And I thought that perhaps with Meg making big bucks practicing law, that might be a point of contention between her and Peter. After all, he bragged for years about how he was going to make big bucks and all of that. He’s not even making my kind of money and he’s not practicing law, though he works for a law firm doing something with computers and presentations. Anyway, PW says he seems really happy doing what he’s doing, and I guess that’s what’s really important — finding a job you’re happy doing. I’m happy for him.

Well, that’s all the news I currently have from back home…if anyone else cared.
