Name Of Love

V- Bloody hell, sit yourself down, you look awful!! What’s going on?

C- Thanks Val, I don’t know how you can keep yourself sane, what with Sunday right around the corner!

V- You know it’s nothing to do with me really. I just sit back and enjoy the dating disasters; the bad proposals are my favourite.

C- You're quite sick really aren't you.

V- I know hehehe, if only they knew, anway, what's going on with you?

C- I’m thinking about quitting.

V- YOU CAN’T QUIT!! Who will do your job?

C- I don’t care, they’ll find someone, any old fool can do my job, its not rocket science.

V- But what will you do? Work somewhere else? No one will let your bare behind in their office.

C- Might be a nice change, an employment that actually requires me to wear clothes. Dressing yourself can’t be that complicated.

V- You should be grateful you still have a job! Most of us just get our names dragged through the mud and sit here bored, watching it happen.

C- Well I’m sick of people taking the piss with what I do.

V –They’re only human after all.

C- “They only human after all” I’m sick of hearing it. They’ve been ‘evolving’ for long enough, I’m sick of the excuses for their behaviour. All this love stuff is just phoney. I don’t know how you can stand the mockery they make out of you this time every year.

V- Oh it doesn’t bother me much what they get up to anymore. I find it quite entertaining the way some of them make a fuss.

C- Oh come off it Val. They stuff each other full of overpriced chocolate, drinking fake champagne, when really half of them are sneaking around having it off with their next door neighbours!

V- Well, that is their business I suppose, you can fire the first arrow but what happens after that is up to them.

C- Not for long hehehehe…..

V- What are you up to?

C- I’ve been working on re-wiring the arrows

V- To do what?

C- So that instead of people falling in love, they fall out of love.

V- Why would anyone want to fall out of love? Love is great!

C- People do all sorts of insane things in the name of love! Is sticking with someone who beats you great? Or who bullies you great? Or cheats on you? Or uses you? Or doesn’t even like you really they are too lazy to let either one be happy? Does that sound so great?

V- Erm…..

C- And what about the obsessives? They live in fantasy lands, hoping the other person will eventually fall for them, or the ones who hound after people who don’t feel the same. Is that so great? I help far too many people fall in love, what this world could do with is someone to help people fall out of love.

V- Crikey, who knew getting chubby came with conscience.

C- Stop poking fun at my weight, I’m under a lot of pressure you know!

V- Sorry, well, what have you been re-wiring your arrows with?

C- I’m re-wiring them with lead, instead of the gold, so that it brings people back down to earth, stops them living with their heads in the clouds so they can see their love for what it really is!!!

V- Do they work? Have you tried any out yet?

C- I’ve got one ready, I was thinking about trying it out today, you know, pre-Sunday, and then if it Works ho ho! I’ll be letting loose on Valentine’s Day, they’ll be thinking twice about printing me on their cards next year.
