A little-known peculiarity of your friendly neighbourhood Elver is his proclivity to listen to Elvis Presly. It was while giving in to this weakness that I happened to hear the song that rather seemed to sum up a certain someone I fear I know too well and too little at the same time. It goes on these lines...
Well, it’s hard to be a gambler
Bettin’ on the number
That changes ev’ry time
Well, you think you’re gonna win
Think she’s givin’ in
A stranger’s all you find
Yeah, it’s hard to figure out
What she’s all about
That she’s a woman through and through
She’s a complicated lady, so color my baby moody blue,
Oh, moody blue
Tell me am I gettin’ through
I keep hangin’ on
Try to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, moody blue,
Tell me who I’m talkin’ to
You’re like the night and day
And it’s hard to say
Which one is you.
Well, when monday comes she’s tuesday,
When tuesday comes she’s wednesday,
Into another day again
Her personality unwinds
Just like a ball of twine
On a spool that never ends
Just when I think I know her well
Her emotions reveal,
She’s not the person that
I thought I knew
She’s a complicated lady, so color my baby moody blue,
Oh, moody blue
Tell me am I gettin’ through
I keep hangin’ on
Try to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, moody blue,
Tell me who I’m talkin’ to
You’re like the night and day
And it’s hard to say
Which one is you.
So much for rationality.

what does one do wen one's object of affection goes on a rather unsolicited self-imposed vacation?......turn to elvis presley:wink:(nice choice..lol)
P.S ....if i am subject to more of such scripts.......all i wud say is"oh no not again!"
i thought i was going to be reading about an eventful weekend?
perhaps if the elver stepped out more often and spent less time working on presentations (VAT and what not), he would have more than just blogging material.
perhaps.
Since there's no shoutbox now, am leaving a comment here. You've been tagged. The 20 random things about you. And hey, do try the 55 word thingy. I am sure you'll have great fun with that too.
