The second reason is, in my fantasies, whenever I dreamt about telling her, she always, always slaps me. Every single time.

Very cute!


Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

Cute.

I read and read this part though, and I think I know what you mean, but I just can't get it to make any sense:

And I... didn’t. Perry turned me away. My dreams of a job at the Planet--shattered. My hopes of meeting Lois were equally unattainable.
Didn't what? I assume you mean that he didn't get a job at the Planet but to me it doesn't really seem connected (grammatically speaking) to anything.

Hi! Thanks for reading!!

Classicalla--I think what I was trying to say was:

She exuded confidence and professionalism.

And I... didn’t. Perry turned me away. My dreams of a job at the Planet--shattered. My hopes of meeting Lois were equally unattainable.


(SHE was confident, I wasn't.) He's trying to blame his inexperience and nerves on how come he didn't (initially) get the job.

But I agree with you, it is definitely confusing and/or a weird transition. Will be sure to clarify that before I send it on to archives!! Thanks!

Okay, trying to steer clear of the word "cute" Wanda, since it's been used...

This was adorable. laugh

I too loved the part about him getting slapped every time in his dreams. That was way too funny!

Loved it.

As soon as Lois Lane saw Superman, she was hooked. And I was burnt toast, left on the sidelines, kaput.
