i reckon chicks (who mature faster etc) need to be a bit gentler with their boyfriends and leave them in a better state than they found them. Its what mine did and I love her for it even thou shes in France with another guy *sigh*

Jobe, I’m not sure checking my blog at 5:30am is making up for it, but who am I to judge? So, early bird huh?

Rose, what a shit. Plus, wow- three years.

Ooh, the old “if I listen to a girl, then she should repay me with her legs open” ideology.

I just escaped a relationship with a man who firmly believed in that. He actually told me that if I didn’t ‘put out’ in exchange for his emotional involvement with me, then he wasn’t happy in the relationship or happy with me. I just can’t believe it took me three whole years to realize what a wanker he is.

Funny, now he goes around badmouthing me.

God damn it Hayley- I really wish it wasn’t so late so I can call you up and grill you…

The best friend storyline can be pretty nice, considering you get to see all the affection and stuff before they ever get together- but it’s funny when you look around you in real life, all I can think is, hmmm, never gonna happen.

ps. clearly you need take Film Jen 101

Scum: Misuzu’s- updates would be lovely, thank-you. B and I were similarly devastated going past last night.

in regards to everything else: exactly! Hope the Tote was good.

Jobe: oh, well, that’s a shame. I hope you’ve gone to bed early to make up for the insanity of checking my blog at 4:30am

I’m not sure how to answer either of your questions really Jen.

RIP Misuzu’s! I’ve been slaughtered on sake so many times there.

I was devastated to see the fire brigade out the front on the way to work yesterday morning. I’m friends with one of the chefs so I’ll keep you updated on their future.

RE: the nice guy thing. I look at dudes like that a see limp guys who never had what it took to seal the deal OR they were never in in the first place and never got the hint.

It’s one thing to be a close friend with a girl, it’s another to become chained to a limp, incessant and somewhat obsessive devotion to trying to pick them up. And you’re dead on the money with: “nice guys who are boring and fawn excessively, and believe this entitles them to get laid, finish last”.

I’m off to the Tote! wooppeeee

Ergh. Don’t even get me started on men and ’sense of entitlement’. There’s a lot of seemingly nice boys out there with some seriously fucked up ideas as to what women ‘owe’ them. Conveniently, they themselves tend to owe women nothing, certainly not respect or fidelity, among other things.

What? Bitter with experience, me? Surely you jest!

Though I must admit I’m a sucker for the realising-your-best-friend-is-the-person-you-should-be-with storyline (I use it faaar to much in my own writing, I really should get some new schtick). Also, why have I not seen all these awesome 80s movies you keep referencing? WHY? MY LIFE IS BARREN OF MEANING AND DAY-GLO CLOTHING.

1) Jobe what the hell are you doing up so early/late!?

2) I am now a tad disturbed to think what constitutes a “classic jen post”- is it a combination of adulthood-anxiety, random people hating and much anger towards Molly Ringwald’s hideous pink dress????

Ah, a classic Jen post. I have missed these.
