Don Quixote is my Ideal... Dreaming of Saving his Damsel in Distress.... |
Socially, Jenny had that kind of graceless seriousness which makes more frevilious people uncomfortable.
The World According to Garp John Irving
And boy I was one of those frevilious people, while she saved every cent to pay for her college, I was out with friends from the Nederlands. I did not care what tomorrow would bring, as long as their were friends and plenty of drink. But now I was supposed to have the bus money to get back to Egypt, and I was short of funds. Man oh man. What was I supposed to do, there was Jenny and there was me penniless. Heck, what would you do if you were in the same situation? I did not want to get stuck in Israel. I tried to say no to my friends who wanted to take me out one more night. But I couldn't turn them down. I knew when I was spending that money that the money was going to be needed to get back, so why did I spend it? I guess I was forced to be a vampire to the frugal Jenny. I also knew that by asking her for funds there would be no chance for anything good out of it. I would be missing my chance to make love to her, because she would see me as a frivolous man. Oh the dangers of chasing windmills posed as giants.
