I think my girlfriend is a Christian! Advice needed.

Well ... It's war now.

Ed-Legs and Mad Dave should have made cameos in this chapter. The audience wants more of those two guys. The ratings would have been much stronger.
 
Well, I asked a Stone Cold Stunner, and we finally got one.

Just a thought Skippy, but if she thinks you're immature and very nearly broke it off with you at least once, how well do you expect it to go over now that you're attempting to influence major life decisions for her?
 
Speaking of legs, the story seems to be on its last legs.

It had first legs?!

Ratings-wise, when the thread debuted, there seemed to be a lot of audience participation. Now, well.....

Ahhh, so it's a TWIN PEAKS kind of situation then. Big ratings at first, a great plot twist and then...everything goes into the crapper as the story runs out of steam. I guess MB could always introduce a backwards-talking dwarf, a lady who carries around a log or an FBI agent who loves damn fine cherry pie.
 
J.J. couldn't have done any better himself.

Now all we need is a time-traveling atheist who wants to destroy the Vatican with red matter. And Robau.

Don't forget The Robau.
 
Robau wouldn't need to swipe an egg from an innocent kid. He'd have as many eggs as he wants delivered to him. For free.

Or else.
 
I started to walk away. He grabbed at me. He hit me first.

I elbowed him in the ribs as he did. He moved behind and grabbed me around the neck in a choke. It was painful, I won't lie. He seemed to be trying to wrestle me to the ground. I was panicking. As he held me from behind in this choke, I tried to drop down into a Stone Cold Stunner. It actually can work in real fights, I've done it before. But he held tight. Even so, I did rattle his jaw a bit. I hope I'd broken a tooth. He threw me down to the ground, still holding me in the choke, with him landing on my back.

Am I the only one who hears the TOS fight music in my head when I read this? And not the good rendition we all know and love. The fight music if it were played on an accordion.
 
The biggest development yet in our relationship happened today. One that could bring its end sooner than anyone could have expected.

We had a big fight yesterday after I told her I was spending the night with Thames. He's been having a really hard time lately with being denied access to his kids and his mom falling down the stairs (I think she was okay) and we haven't seen each other much lately. I felt bad about this, like I should have been there for him like he's been there for me in the past. Yes my I love my girlfriend and would rather spend time with her than him, obviously, but we shouldn't have to spend every day together. Okay, we had arranged to go out on Friday night, but when Thames called me drunk and alone and depressed saying he needed a friend (he didn't say it in words, but I could tell) I would have to be heartless to say no.

Anyway, the night with Thames was pretty cool at first, but it became clear that all he wanted to do was drink. And then Mad Dave showed up. What the fuck! Thames had invited him too! He's not even a good friend. He just wants to take pills all the time. Well, he didn't have any this time, but I think he went outside and smoked weed at one point. He's a dick. It was around this point that I realized that I've totally outgrown these people. Thames has been my best friend most of my life but he's so immature now, compared to me. I realized I didn't want to be there. I made an excuse and left early. Thames barely seemed to care (he'd drunk quite a lot by this point.) I wonder if my friendship with him is over, just like that. Oh well.

It wasn't too late by this point, so I called my girlfriend and said I COULD go out with her and told her to get ready. She got angry and said I couldn't just expect her to come running when my plans change. I said "this is what you wanted!" I just don't understand women. Well, I said "FORGET IT THEN" out of spite and we didn't meet up. I didn't want to go crawling back to Thames and Mad Dave (and for all I knew Ed-Legs might have arrived by now, the weirdo) so I just went home. Night ruined.

I went round to my girlfriend's house today to discuss this, but then she dropped a pipebomb on me that made me forget the previous night's drama had ever happened. I had barely started listing my grievances with her when she said there was something she had to tell me. She said it had happened a week ago but she'd be trying to find a way to say it. She told me that her trip to the third world country has been brought FORWARD by a week to Friday the 27th of April. A WHOLE WEEK. This stunned me. I couldn't speak. My mind was racing. My first thought was that she was lying, that SHE had arranged to go a week earlier after our fight the previous day. I nearly said this, but something told me this was a time to pay it cool. I said I wished she'd told me sooner and asked what this meant for our relationship. Then she dropped a second pipebomb.

She said she didn't know if we even had a relationship. She said she liked me but I was too demanding and needy. She said the way I kept trying to push her into being an atheist was getting to her. No doubt due to her religious indoctrination. She said we'd had fun but she didn't think she could do it anymore. I felt exhausted. Could I really keep fighting for her?

YES, I COULD.

I told her it was just the emotion and pressure getting to her. I explained how specila she is and how her going away even a week earlier was like a dagger through my heart. She could see how upset I was and said she was sorry. So we aren't broken up yet.

But I'm panicking now. What can I do? Not only have I not managed to stop her from going, she's now going A WEEK EARLIER. It's like fate doesn't want us to be together.
 
Sudden plot twists, the end of friendships...yep, we're getting to the season finale pretty soon.
 
My insides are gurgling with wretched anticipation. Boy, I sure hope I remembered my patented 3-D glasses for the full effect!
 
Should have taken her over to Thames. Maybe he woulda wanted to bang her? As little respect as you have shown this girl, I wouldn't be surprised if you already have.
