Dude, on second thought, you should encourage this relationship between Garigirl and the product supplier.
After all, the extended edition is coming out in November, and surely you want to be the first one on your block to get a copy. So you have to share your girlfriend for a couple of months – no biggie!
Just make sure that you make up for your so called “blunder” later. Let her know what a huge surprise it was and that you just weren’t in your right mind because you were already halfway to Helm’s Deep before you even got the cellophane off the case.
Might have to buy her a new sexy outfit when ROTK is about to come out on DVD. You know, just in case…
All this week I kept thinking TTT was coming out next week. I was so disappointed when I realised my mistake. It’s much worse than thinking it’s Friday and then finding out it’s only Thursday. Knowing you have it does not lessen the pain any. I read your other thread about the ROTK preview onthe DVD. Didn’t help either. I should have known better.
Dude, that’s pretty shitty. What that sort of exchange says to me, and I dare say to a lot of women, is that a bloody movie is more important to you than she is. Yes, it’s a truly magnificent movie, but it’s just a movie. It’ll still be there after you’ve taken care of the emotional needs of someone you claim to care about, and who has gone out of her way to do something incredibly nice for you.
However, if you keep on with that sort of behavior, she might not still be there after you get done playing with the toys she was kind enough to bring you. In that sort of situation, I’d have been sorely tempted to snatch my gift out of Dr.J’s hand and snap the damn thing in half.
Not at all - she’s obviously more important to me than any DVD, or football game, or computer game etc.
That doesn’t mean that occasionally she isn’t going to be my number one priority.
I know for a fact that if i’d walked in and dropped a ticket to see Sean Bean in Macbeth on her lap she’d have been out the door and on the train before i’d even got a word in.
In this case, yeah, maybe i should have paid her more attention but in my defence I’m terrible at picking up on those kind of emotional cues and she knows that - and knew that before we started dating.
When she told the girls she lives with later that night (Who incidentally were watching Two Towers with me ) they giggled and asked her why she’d set me a test that she knew i’d fail.
Anyway, just to add “closure” to this thread i took her out for a posh dinner the next night and all was well in the world of men again…
