what i wanted to write about on Tuesday

one of my close personal friends has had a recent but not new tragedy occur in her life. the boy she's liked on again/off again had finally asked her out. and on the same night they almost had sex. and 3 days later he told her he didn't remember all the details of that night. and she was pissed.


so to try to make her feel better- and add a little 'food for thought' i created a little cake analogy. a way to "have her 'cake' and eat it too" ;) here it is:


THERE ARE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF CAKE- SOMETIMES RELATIVE TO 4 DIFFERENT TYPES OF GUYS. OF COURSE, THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS TO EVERY RULE, BUT HERE'S ONE WAY TO FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF GUY YOU ARE INTO, AND IF YOU SHOULD PURSUE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.


1) Ornate, professionally designed cake that’s pretty & expensive to look at. But you don't want to take a bite of it, cause then you would ruin the design and when you do it usually never tastes as good as it looks, and is 80% frosting.

2) Inexpensive, box mix cake that sometimes falls apart when you try to make a double or triple layer, but tastes amazing especially when you're feeling blue

3) Cheesecake- weird cause its not really cake. It tastes and looks amazing, but its very difficult and time consuming to make.

OR

4) Really rich, fudgy 4 layer cake. Always tasty, but you end up biting off more than you can chew and sometimes it makes you sick in the end. But very addicting and tempting so you always end up getting more.


(my quote on quote) ANSWER KEY::::


1) Ornate cake= F buddy for some. This one is always fun and exciting but maybe only on special occasions; is usually unrealistic for everyday life. The saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" is true of this 'cake'.

2) Box mix cake= Good relationship material as long as you're grounded and don't expect it to be cake number 1 and appreciate it for what it is--practical, and always satisfying.

3) Cheesecake=Heavy and can be high maintenance sometimes, but if you're willing to put in some effort you can make each other happy.

4) 4 layer fudge cake= Sometimes too rich and offers promises they can't always fulfill. Involves lustful feelings, but rarely evolves into a loving relationship. Can be indulgent and make you feel special, but also can be painful in the end.


Now, of course i told her to take all examples and answers with a grain of salt, because of course, this was something i created (at work nonetheless). but if you think about it, and disregard all the corniness involved, i think it actually makes too much sense. and perhaps i should get a job writing those silly quizzes in women's magazines.

either that or i enjoy cake way too much ;)
