Fill in the gaps

28 Apr

These days I’ve been asked the same old question over and over again: “So, do you have a boyfriend?” No, my dear aunts and uncles, I don’t have one, but for your sake I’ll invent one: my very own imaginary boyfriend. I’m going to give you this speech every time you ask me that bloody question, m’kay?

Fill in the gaps with one or more words:

‘ Of course I have a boyfriend! His name’s (1)…, he’s (2)… years old and he’s working as a/an (3)… for (4)… . No, you can’t have heard of that company, it’s rather small.

Well, it’s kind of funny how we met. You see, I was (5)… and he was there, so when I (6)… he (7)… and then we (8)…, and in the end he invited me for a cup of tea, I said yes and here we are.

Yeah, he’s just my type: (9)… eyes, (10)… hair, tall, a bit fluffy, doesn’t wear white shoes and doesn’t dress as a bloody corporate dude.

And oh, he’s absolutely amazing! He’s (11)…, and (12)…, and (13)… . We get along fabulously! And I’m really sorry that I couldn’t come here with me, but he had to (14)… . But next time I’ll do my best to drag him here so you can meet him. You’re going to love him, I’m sure!’

    Nice way to keep them quiet, but you’ll have to think about new developments every time………

    here my firendly suggestion “so when I (6)… he” – this you should better change into “so when he (6)… I”, otherwise, as I long as I know’em, those aunts and uncles of yours would get rather suspicious :)

    Hello
    A propos de prieteni mai mult sau mai putin imaginari, intr-una din cartile seriei “shopaholic” (fie shopaholic abroad, fie shopaholic ties the knot) este prezentat modul in care un prieten cat se poate de real dar rather busy este luat drept prieten imaginar de toata lumea :) acuma, daca punem un prieten imaginar in ecuatie, are toate sansele sa fie luat de real, nu?
    ps: poate ar trebui sa ne gandim la o firma de inchiriat prieteni pentru momente dificile :D

    @ Doru: =)) Foarte misto ideea! Daca te hotarasti sa faci o asemenea firma, te rog sa ma anunti. Cred ca as fi una dintre cei mai buni clienti ai tai :))
