oh God, drunken e-mail :(

[dexterhead]

Today I was looking at my "sent" e-mails and discovered I sent a drunk one to my ex the other night, regarding his upcoming nuptials. I had no memory of this. Oh God. Thought I could take the high road ....
This is what my e-mail said: and I am wondering if he will "get" what I meant. So anyone, if you get this reference or not, please tell me.
I wrote, "your girl is lovely." He knows I have never seen her. The full quote, which I fortunately didn't send, is "your girl is lovely, Hubbell."

I have done the drunken emails thing. The phone thing, the in your face thing.... I am sure many of us understand your humility.

One time I was so drunk and mad at an old boss that I sent her an email that called her a slut. I went on to say that she slept her way to the top. Did I get fired? Nope just transfered to another department - and thank God for that. I didn't want to work for the ugly whench anyway.

Hugs to you. What you sent wasn't bad. I am just concerned about your drinking because of him.

Those are the worst. I have moved on to posting drunk messages on MySpace and Facebook so all my friends can see. Don't want anyone to feel left out.

facebook is definitely a great place to post drunken thoughts and feelings. Spelling mistakes and all! I hate the computer.

oh, here is another one. I was whacked out on wine a few years ago. Well, I was involved with a married man (I know - bad, bad, bad; but he was good, good, good in bed) and anyway, I sent his wife an email saying that he was having an affair. She didn't know who I was (stupid hotmail account without my name in it) and anyways she wrote me back saying she suspected as much. (perfume on his clothes etc)

I then emailed the married guy and said, I hope your wife knows you are having an affair. He freaked out. I don't know what happened but the affair ended - thank God.

But does anyone get the reference? I am wondering if he will figure it out, or she. It's pretty condescending. It is from a movie and also was used in a TV show. Let me know if you do .... I am trying to figure out if he will figure out how incredibly snarky I was being.

I get it. He won't. Men can't read between the lines.

I don't get it either.

No, it is more specific. It's from the movie "The Way We Were." Barbra Streisand's character, smart, complicated and difficult, says it to Redford's character at the end when she sees him with his shallow new bride. Also in "Sex and the City": when Carrie sees Mr. Big with his vapid young fiancee, she says to him, "your girl is lovely, Hubbell," referencing the movie. She realizes he's chosen to be with someone "simple" and unchallenging rather than someone complex and difficult like her. So it's definitely insulting. And if you Google "your girl is lovely," you can actually figure it out.

I don't know him, but I don't think he will get it. Mine sure as hell wouldn't.

Hubbell is the name of Robert Redford's character in "The Way We Were."

I explained it in a post a couple posts up. So, I am relieved he probably won't figure out what I meant, that he's probably chosen someone less smart and complicated than his first wife
