@mink: Have you ever had a serious girlfriend?
@alex: Yes. I think. Sort of. What do you qualify as serious?
@mink: Hey, you’re the one who said yes. I was just curious. How long and why did you break up?
@alex: Three months and the short story is she said I didn’t want to have fun anymore.
@mink: Ouch. The long story?
@alex: Her idea of fun included hooking up with my best friend when I was out of town.
@mink: I don’t know what to say. I’m sorry.
@alex: Don’t be. I’d checked out. It wasn’t all her fault. If you don’t pay attention to things, they wander off. I learned my lesson. I’m vigilant now.
@mink: Vigilant with who?
@alex: I think you mean with WHOM.
@mink: :P
@alex: No one in particular. I’m just saying, I’m not the same person I used to be. I confessed; now your turn. Anyone you’ve been vigilant about in the past?
@mink: A couple of guys for a couple of weeks, nothing major. Now I pretty much look out for myself. It’s a full-time job. You’d be surprised.
@alex: One day you might need some help.
