 		[UPDATE] The Path of Least Time - December 16th
Quote:
Miranda
Friday, December 16 2005, 06:40 PM

Not much of note has gone on since my last post here... preparations for the ball continue apace, work is still hard, Sarah has disappeared to the same place that all the girls I date seem to go, and I have a pretty horrid cold. No, we still haven't cured the common cold (you wouldn't believe how quickly new strains can crop up), so I've been suffering under a sore throat and bunged-up nose for the last few days.

It's the sore throats that I hate. A blocked nose doesn't actually hurt, it's just annoying. Sore throats though, they remind you of their infuriating presence every minute of the day. The worst thing is that we do have a remedy for sore throats which involves a partial anaesthetic for the pain receptors in the throat, but I'm one of the few people who has a natural immunity to the anaesthetic and so it just doesn't work on me.

Doubly irritating is the fact that no sooner had I broken up with Sarah (a better description would be 'she stopped calling') than I met another nice girl called Miranda while popping in to see Violet earlier this week. She actually knew about some of the puzzles I'd designed as part of one of the PCAG satellite tournaments a few years ago, so we had a good chat about that and the latest Petel/Duncan match, and ended up deciding to go out to the Finnegan/Johnson PCAG exhibition event.

Okay, so obviously that wasn't irritating, but since my head was so stuffed, I couldn't concentrate on anything that night. We had some great seats to watch the physical rounds of the match, but all of the tests and puzzles just passed me by; Miranda was probably expecting some kind of intelligent commentary from me about Finnegan's play and her solutions, but I was barely able to stay awake. In the end we left early to get a coffee at Fenlon's. I think she was a little fed up with my slowness, which probably explained why, instead of discussing the minutiae of the match, we just talked about the people we know in common - which basically meant Violet. I guess she was a little nervous about starting at the library and wanted to know what it would be like working with her. Not the most intellectually stimulating stuff to talk about, like I said.

There's some good news though - I'm starting to feel a little better now, after having used some more powerful decongestants, and Miranda emailed me this morning saying (beyond all reason) that she wanted to meet up again!

 		So can we assume she'll be "pumping him for information"?! Wink

 		Hmm.. me is starting to suspect some cheating going on with the PCAG.

Not saying that Kurt isn't able to hold a girls interest without there being an ulterior motive, but.... OK I am!

I mean how many guys get a second date after talking about their "best friend" all night and being crap at conversation.

 		I would love to think Kurt's got a steady girl out of love for one another, but the timing and low-down just sets off waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many buzzers.

librarian as Violet's going for the book
talks over Violet at Fenlon's
PCAG game/conversation/knowledge of Kurt's puzzles

If this were any other guy, in any other situation, with any other information, then I'm sure all of this would seem fairly innocuous. I feel awful I can't imagine him and Miranda in good old-fashioned love, but there's too much hooplah going on right now for a love affair with a star aide of the Earth team to be inconsequential.

I have something else to say, incredibly anti-TINAG and OOG, but I choose to hide this. I will merely state it's a hypothesis about a less dangerous but equally harmful consequence of the two's dating process.

But, it's here in spoiler for the curious:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Could he have to go on a really big date with Miranda say... 7 days after first snowfall?


Class dismissed. Wink
