Curry In A Hurry

You know, there are some things that I do, that even before I do them, that I know aren't going to end well. There was one thing that I was really dreading, but I knew that it was only a matter of time before it happened, because it's been happening in my head occasionally, and I knew that I only needed to be lulled into a sense of security and be a little bit tired before it came out. Whoops.

Who'd have thought calling a girl by the wrong name would be disastrous?

Oh, I thought so. Everyone knows that it is one of the big no noes. At the same time, I was powerless to stop it. It was out before I even realised, and I think that I was as shocked as she was. I figured that I had a few different options when it came to dealing with it.

Option 1: Pretend that it never happened and just keep on talking at a million miles an hour and not taking a breath so that she doesn't have an opportunity to call you up on your grievous error.

Option 2: Pretending that it never happened, and when questioned about it say that she must be mistaken, because how would it be possible for you to make such a grave mistake?

Option 3: Say a quick sorry, call her by her real name and continue on as though it didn't really happen.

Option 4: Make a heatfelt apology and promise to never do it again, and buy some flowers the next time you see her.

Option 5: Run.

I'm not going to tell you which one I went for, I'll let you try and guess. If I had my time again I think that I'd just go for Option 5. I'm a pretty fast runner, and her throwing arm isn't that great, so I reckon I could make it.

Still, it was a pretty low thing for me to do, and the only reason for it is laziness. I guess I just have a lazy brain, or one that needs regular maintenance or something. Doesn't it know that there's a new system in place now? Whoops.

Tonight I'm thinking of doing something else that I don't think will end well, but it's something that I've been thinking about doing for a while. The plan is already underway, and it's not really a very dangerous mission. I guess I'm just doing it because I can, just so I can say that I've done it. I've done some research, and there's no time like the present. There's not a whole lot going on on a Monday night.

You're talking here about an ACTUAL name, not a nickname, aren't you? I imagine a nickname could be much worse.

I can't really pick which option you went for, but I'll throw a single chip down on option 2. 3 is tentative.
