Oh! The pain of it! "The most unkindest cut of all..." (Shakespeare)

The day that Gideon and Kermit ran off together was the most traumatic one in my life so far. I am still attempting to recover from it. If Winona rejects me, that will be the final nail in the coffin. I will bid adieu forever to this vale of tears, and depart from it in the most dramatic manner that I can devise...

"Then make my grave both wide and deep, put a marble stone at my head and feet, upon my breast put a white snow dove, to tell the world that I died for love!"

Merciful heavens! I am gobsmacked! This thread is the very encapsulation of my most cherished hopes and dreams! As some of you know, I have sought rejection in all its ugly forms for most of my life, and I have been quite successful in finding it. Yes indeed. I have received countless rejections in the past 31 years, beginning very shortly after I emerged from the birth canal, and I remember each one of them. I keep lists of them in my little blue book.

I am stunned reading this list, however, to discover that there are more than 15 forms of rejection here that I have not yet been subjected to! And here I thought I had achieved mastery.

Well, it is fortunate that I am only 31 years old. There is much time left to complete my collection, and this thread has given me the inspiration I sorely needed. I am in your collective debt.

I intend to begin tomorrow. Joy! Joy! New rejection is on the way, I can feel it in my bones.

- Wilfred Pennifere

p.s. I'm still single. I shall have to somehow secure a wife in order to experience some of the rejections listed here. That appears to be "Job 1". Wish me luck!
