A Curious Girl: "But you might feel better if they gave you some cash"

Interesting night out :-)

After my rather pathetic job-hunting, in which I collected an application form for Staples and Wilkinson's, and addresses for Tesco's and the Library, I met Sara and Lana in Chatham, and we wandered and talked for a bit before I went down to meet Chris et al. for the film. We were meant to see The Mummy Returns but Ricci had misread the times and so we had to see Get over it instead. James came too, so there were four of us - two lads, two lasses (girls and guys? Never, I've got culcha! :-) ). Poor Chris didn't get to drool over Brendan Fraser, but it was a very funny film. Although everyone looked far too old to be in High School.

Kind of thought-provoking, though. (Sorry, I know you were hoping for an amusing account of my night - OK, glorified afternoon - out. It was amusing, but I don't feel inclined to talk about it. But there you go - instead I'm going to dive into thought-provoking stuff. I'm annoying like that.) At the very beginning - so I won't spoil very much - the girl, Alison, dumps the boy, Berk, or Birk. (Am I the only one who knows what 'berk' is an abbreviation of? I mean, you'd never name your kid that, would you?) She dumps him on the grounds that when they first kissed, it was the most amazing feeling - sparks flying etc. - but now when they kiss that feeling is gone. Isn't it terribly sad to judge a relationship on the feeling you get when you find out what the other's tongue feels like? What's a tongue going to tell you? (Sorry, I know that a tongue is pretty much essential for speech. I didn't mean it like that.) It all seemed the wrong way around to me - like you have to have lust, sexiness, feelings, passion - in a skewed kind of way - and then after that you fit in being friends and stuff. No, sorry, you're only 'friends' after breaking up - just friends, that is. Where did all this crappy logic come from? If a foundation to a relationship is impermanent (ie. looks, voice, that kind of thing, that changes over time), then your relationship isn't really in for much. I mean, if the whole thing is based on how much the other really turns you on, you're just going to get bored and move on.

Although, like I said, it was a very funny film. Bits are ridiculous, bits are slapsticky, bits are just plain ironic. It's also very predictable, but never mind.
