In yet another example of the ‘rock and the star’ – a local woman has found love with a man that lacks everything that makes her sparkle.
Betoota-based book publisher, Katie (30) has only recently opened up about her increasingly serious relationship with local property buyer’s agent Langdon (35).
It is not known where the hell they met, and it is also unknown what the hell they share in common.
While Katie goes bushwalking with friends on the weekend, and spends her spare evenings listening to music – Langdon appears to be far more interested in sitting on the couch with two or three of his mates and burning through his life savings with reckless online betting.
It seems that this much loved bookworm is completely content with this dynamic, and has no interest in trying to change Langdon.
This is not to say that Katie doesn’t try to introduce him to new things that he might like. With not much luck.
His guided discovery of ‘truffles’ went down very poorly, with Langdon refusing to eat any of the dirty shirt she just shaved on to his pasta – after only one mouthful.
Their recent night out to a live music gig ended up with Langdon discovering wandering into a backroom full of pokies machines, to spend his evening drinking lager with likeminded pissheads.
However, the most insightful example of the yins and the yangs that exist in this relationship became clear during a recent visit to an ice cream store that Katie had heard about.
While Katie was torn over whether she wanted to try the fig salted caramel or the pistachio, Langdon could only see one thing on the menu that tickled his fancy.
She went for the light green shade of savoury gelato, he went for the triple choc cookie dough.
“Ha ha ha yours is so shit. Who orders a veggie ice cream” said Langdon.
Katie smiles as her chest buzzes with butterflies.
‘This is so us’ she thinks to herself.
