Hey y'all, it seems like the jokes on me. Grouchy hacked my computer, and my hive account, a couple days ago and has been having his way with it since. You can read about his exploits here, a post written by the green dude himself! I probably should be furious, but I'm not.
Grouchy is a good little mate, a good cobber as we would say here in Australia but he's been way more grouchy of late, truly living up to his name; I realised it was due to his loneliness and desire for some company. Sure, the little nutbag and I hang out but he needs more than just bro time hence his search for some company; A girlfriend.
Anyway, I sat him down and we chatted last night...
"Hacking my computer and hive account wasn't cool bro." I said.
Grouchy looked down at his non-existent feet, non-existent hands clasped together in his lap. His face was downcast and apologetic.
"I know G-dog. I was bad." Grouchy spoke quietly. I should have asked I guess, but, well I guess my urges got the better of me. I get so lonely when you're working and you have Faith to hang out with...I just wanted to find a girlfriend too."
He sounded so remorseful and I softened somewhat.
"You hacked my hive account too though. Did you think that you could have hurt my credibility with the community had you written something compromising?" I was pleased he had not.
"As if I'd do that G-dog. I got your back bro!" He said this passionately.
"You do, I know but, you may have done it unintentionally."
Grouchy shook his head furiously from side to side like a cat does saying, "Nope, wouldn't happen, never, I'm too smart for that." He was right of course; He's a smart little dude.
"Forgive and forget bro?" Grouchy looked sidelong at me head tilted slightly right, left eye seeking acceptance as one eyebrow lifted in question...Hard to do without eyebrows. I couldn't stay mad at him really.
"OK mate, you're forgiven, but I'm changing my passwords."
Grouchy nodded as if he expected it, but his face belied what he was thinking, no worries bro, I'll hack them too!
We sat around chatting for a bit, mostly about how enjoyable Grouchy had found blogging on hive and he raised the possibility of me permitting him to do so every now and then. I'll be honest, I couldn't come up with a reason not to and so I agreed.
He seemed happy with that and conversation moved on to what sort of things he might like to blog about. A little later he brought up his loneliness again.
"Hey G-dog, I wonder how it would be if I did have a friend, of the girl-variety I mean." He was probing me, I knew.
"Well, if any of the girls from those websites you visited come to stay I think Faith might have some objections mate." Grouchy had been interwebing some interesting sites, although his taste in girls seemed impeccable. I just wasn't sure if my wife Faith would be too keen on welcoming Abigail Ratchford into the household any time soon.
"Yeah, I know she's legit...But what if my girlfriend was a nice, down-to-earth wholesome girl with family values? And not full-sized?"
"Well man, I can't see any issues I suppose," I said. "I mean it's not like it's happened already. We can talk about it over time I guess."
Grouchy sat there looking out the window, silent for a little while. I could see the cogs turning in his little green brainless head.
"Hmm, yes." He said finally. "It's not like it's happening or anything. No, not happening at all. Nope, not one little bit."
"But...It actually is man." He said this quietly.
"Dafuq you just say?"
Grouchy looked over at me..."It's happening. The girlfriend thing. I found one and she'll be here in a day or so. I told her you wouldn't mind her moving in. Her name is Roxy and she's perrrrrfect!"
And there it is...Grouchy got me yet again!
He showed me her profile and despite being somewhat annoyed at what he had done I had to admit she was cute, and certainly seemed quite well-matched to Grouchy, at least judging by her profile.
They have communicated a little which is why Grouchy needed my computer and it seems little Roxy is on her way here, due to arrive in the next few days. Grouchy is pretty excited for her to arrive as you might imagine and I'll be honest, I'm pretty interested to see how it works out.
Relationships are difficult; They require a lot of understanding, respect, compromise and effort. I've been in mine for thirty three years so far and feel reasonably qualified to say so. It takes two whole people coming together to create a great relationship, and even then it doesn't always work out. It will be interesting to see how this works out for Grouchy, considering his ofttimes, poor behaviour...But I hope it works out.
Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default - Tomorrow isn't promised.
Be well
