And he's way of telling it is to delgate it to *me*. So here I go, and please keep in mind that I don't really know what's going on here, I'm judging by what Gemm has told me. Gemm, if you don't like the way I tell this, or if I get something rather wrong, keep in mind, you asked me to do it, and I don't actually know what's going on.
Two Students, both alike in Maturity
In fair Yankland, where we lay our scene,
From a new grudge comes a new mutiny,
Where emotions make heartfelt desires unclean
From forth the feelings of these two goes
A pair of star-crossed lovers, split in strife
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with a break, question future life.
The fearful passage of a dead love
and the continuence of a retiered rage
Which, but intellectual shift naught could remove
Is now two minutes traffic on this webpage
The which, if you with reading eyes attend
What here shall miss, my toil strive to mend
- Apologies to the Bard
A fateful day, for our hero Zak. A sad story, tinged with hope. Not an unusaual day. Browsing the web, as always. Chatting to overseas strangers, making non-sequiter comments. Then, the appearance on an Instant Messanger, of Jenny.
Jenny. The girl who always sparkled. Yet, fate tossed upside down, he was in with a chance. They'd been going out for a little while. Technically speaking, anyway. As for weather they were "going out", he wasn't quite sure.
At least, he liked to believe theyw ere in with a chance. She hadn't returned calls or e-mails for quite a time. No thanks to Eric. Not our well renowned and worthy friend Saint Ehlers, no no no. This Eric was Jenny's Old/Current boyfriend. Once again, Zak wasn't quite sure. She certainly felt a certain way towards him, even though Eric shared a weird friendship with Zak.
Idly (or excitidly) he opened up a chat window to her. The words were half expected, but not what he had hoped to hear. Not on an idle afternoon, stranger from the other side of the world quoting Sun Tzu to annoyance.
"I don't think I should be your friend anymore" she said. "I think I should just become a ghost"
Yet, as hope still transpired, her words grew more cutting.
"I just want to not think about him, just forget. It'd be so easy, if I didn't know you could forget. ....sorry Zak"
That was it. His flatmate was no use, no empathy.
"Get over her, plenty more fish in the sea"
So, he turned to the strange friend from halfway across the world, the one who, even now, could make him laugh.
Eventually, he was granted a decision by the same stranger. To give up, or to pursue the relationship regardless.
He decided to stick with it.
"Why?" he was challanged. "There's a lot of other girls out there, with better chances. What's so special about this one?"
"because, she's worth my time and effort. She's amazing, and everything that isn't."
Sail the Seas
Don't just tread water
Unless that is what yo want to do.
"Well ****.... I get it now!"
So it was that our hero was rejuvinated, and that he continues to fight on for a cause he believes worthy.
