Long distance disasters
If Anyone knows 'She Hates Me' by Puddle of Mudd, well that pretty much describes our puddle jumpers adventure..

''Met a girl, thought she was grand''

there was a lad I knew at university, and at the age of 21, still had his V plates, poor lad, dont think he ever actually kissed a girl tbh, the closest he got was 5 knuckle shuffling himself to a copy of the daily sport...

Basically, he was incredibly desperate and would go extreme lengths to lose his cherry. Until one of his mates introduced him to the magic of 'gaiaonline.com', (an avatar based community site which some B3tians here may be familiar with), where he got talking to some Canadian chick.

''fell in love, found out first hand''

Things we're going swimmingly and somehow he fell in love with her, and somehow became girlfriend/boyfriend-before meeting of course.
He bragged about her at uni- apart from when anyone asked where she were from, he'd mumble 'canada'.
The response would be something like this..

'Canada?! have you even seen her yet?'
'Yea...on webcam..'

He'd even call her and chat to her on his Landline, (im suprised his rents weren't sceptical about a series of international calls to canada on there phonebill) baring in mind that the timezone is different to UK so he could only talk to her at certain times.

the big day came when he decided he was going for it, (despite several warnings from fellow coursemates, and encouraging him not to go as it be a bad idea) and also the fact that there was work to be submitted and a 2nd year exhibition to install, but he insisted considering they were very much in love and he was going to jump the puddle to see his girlfriend in Canada for 3 months, the whole duration of the summer break.

he blew his entire student loan installment on a plane ticket (Approx £600) and a suit (£150) (in a bid to impress her), and the remains to be exchanged into canadian dollars.

''went well for a week or two''

Pretty much what the titles says, He arrived safety, met her and got aquainted (sorta) and things were going reasonably well.

''Then it all came unglued''

Yes, unfortunatly some reason, his girlfriend was a psycho and decided that she hated him and kicked him out her room and never wanted to see him again

""She Hates Me'

She certainly did, she even got a new boyfriend and slept with him under the same roof as him just to rub it in, our puddle jumper was stranded in the middle of Canada, not allowed to see the girl he could have lost his V plates to, and he had to get a taxi to get his cigarettes.

he returned to the UK as a wiser person and had to repeat his second year again due to not submitting any work for being away, he also didnt notify his parents where he was for the 3 months.

Whilst sat at the pub having a drink, he was laughing and joking about it, admitting that he was a plonker with a 'wtf was I thinking..?!' attitude

did he learn his lesson? I dont think so, the exact same thing happened the following year, except this new 'girlfriend' was from the US...

Thing is, if hes that despirate to find a girlfriend on the internet, why not try myspace or facebook, surely he could find himself a nice girl from the UK..

He got kicked outta uni due to poor attendance..

Think you guys could have saved this guy a lot of hassle....
... by all putting together and buying him a prostitute for the night.
