Gimpel the fool

You have no idea about the drama I was about to tell you...Too bad, I had to stop abruptly on my last post.

Yeah, apparently my girlfriend took her much needed nap, and called me up...

"Were you hun? When you getting back home? What you doin?!! ".....and a whole host of other questions that any other girlfriend would ask?

" Are you okay"?, I asked. Her voice sounded off note. I have to ask that question quite often these days. She loves getting the cold and injuring her foot, not to mention the 'throwing up' episodes which she can't really resist.

" I caught a cold. I had the AC on for too long I guess. "

Ah bon! No surprises. Now, I went on telling her about every trivial thing that had happened and not happened ,and anything that was worth telling.... Then as she laughed hard at all the things my professor tells me I heard some background noise. SFX: SOUNDS OF GIRL 1 TRYING TO SNATCH THE PHONE FROM GIRL2...Argh, these scripts at Sisimpur (Sesame Street) pop up everywhere in my gray matter . Anyways, so girl 2 goes live now: " How could you not even tell it wasn't me? God!!! I can't believe this!! What's wrong with you?? I'm not talking to you!!", and an amalgam of other stuff that all came with either a question mark or an exclamation mark. The background music in my mind played: gimpel the fool....gimpel the fool....

Hey, I guess I'll let you all laugh at me for a while now. And, besides I have to check on my girlfriend. She's not well...Yes...I'm worried....
