I really like that post. All the best THC and hope you have fun. :D
We can't all follow up those fleeting glances sometimes though. For example, the weekend just past, I was getting some from a really cool girl I spent the night dancing with. Unfortunately, while she was single, she came to the party with a good friend of mine and I think he was quite intent on leaving with her. Truth is, she was definitely worth losing a friend or five over... haha... just not going there.
WHATS WITH ALL THE FUCKING BREAKUPS?
Further to the whole thing about breakups, I'm finding it incredibly difficult to swallow what I've been hearing in the last two weeks. Now, it's beginning to seem like three of my closest friends in the whole world are going to be single again.
In the last week:
Couple One: been together 5 years plus, living together. Broke up, mutual agreement/different directions, she moved out almost straight away.
Couple Two: two people who introduced me to E and were there at my first one. These two have shared my 'drug adventure' with me from day one. Split Saturday, she moved out straight away. Lived together 2+ years, share property and investments together... what a mess. They were like weekend surrogate parents to me lol...
Now this morning I hear that:
Couple Three: I hear from the guy this morning that things are folding up and it's going to be over soon. 5+ years. I used to work with him and his girlfriend helped me get my second job. Logistics will be a mess.
The deal is all three couples know each other, yet it's all happened in such a short space of time, I doubt any one influenced the other. As for finality, I'd put my money that at least *one* of these couples will get back together but I wouldn't be surprised if none of them did. They're all pretty mature (rough ages 23, 25, 35 not respective) and none of these are emotional breakups based on a big fight, rather composed and resigned splits based on mutual agreement.
At this point I'm kind of looking forward to getting a government grant to set up some kind of broken hearts shelter at my house for the rest of summer. Even though its probably more likely my friends will be supporting me since I'm more shocked than they are. I'm more shocked then when I found out my own parents were splitting up.
Like one of them said to me though, I'll get over it, cause that's life whether it's the onset of spring or just a big fat coincidence, these things happen. When it rains it pours, etc etc etc
Selfish bastard I am, all I can think about is how I'm going to have more competition this summer when going out.

Seriously though, maybe I can start up a new TAFE course to help my friends out... Single Life 101. Remember, the last time some of these guys were single, Bill Clinton was still US President, Osama Bin Laden was just a taxi driver in New York, the Internet was going to make everyone rich and The X-Files was still a good show.
Some topics I could cover include; Her Place or Yours?, Nightclub Toilet Sex Etiquette, How to Effectively Plan and Implement an Orgy, Threesomes for Dummies, Fuckbuddies: When Mrs. Palmer Just Doesn't Cut It, and many more. Places filling fast so sign up now!!
For someone whose only relationship ever lasted all of two weeks, it's probably not quite possible for me to understand what my friends are going through right now. All I know is that it involves a lot of sadness, and eventually loneliness and long nights of pining and eww.. yucky messy emotions.
Just about the only breakup that would surprise me now is if my palm told me to fuck off.
