Do Not Settle For The Wet Blanket

Current mood:blah
Bah! That was really fun. 


I just got off the phone with one of my best friends. My BEST male friend in fact. I finally met his girlfriend last weekend. This is the first girlfriend of his that I have actually met. One I didn't meet because she lived far away, and they broke up shortly after I first met him...and then she left the country.
Another one I didn't meet because it was a very brief and not so serious affair...followed by her leaving the country...
And this one I almost didn't meet because she *was* going to leave the country...but then she stayed a while longer...so I got to meet her. She was so antisocial. It was wierd. She kept her sunglasses on when I first met her. And we all hopped into my car to go on a trip to the beach. She sat in front with me, and immediately took a cell phone call where she got upset with the person she was speaking to, and it made me uncomfortable...So I pulled off at a gas station to give her some privacy to finish her conversation. I was honestly hoping that she would jump in the back seat and talk on her phone back there, and let my friend and I chill out and talk up front -but she didn't. She did eventually get off the phone though -which was nice. And we got underway. On the trip, I kept trying to start up a conversation with her, and include her in the conversation with my friend, but she was very quiet and standoffish. I asked her at one point, what her favorite food was...and instead of saying something like Thai, sushi, or I like ice-cream...she said "Well it depends on what time of day it is...for breakfast my favorite food is a blueberry muffin, for lunch my favorite food is a chicken cesar salad, and for dinner my favorite food is plain pasta with no sauce and broccoli." -Really now? Plain pasta with broccoli??? I am not a fan. I hope that either: 

A. she loosens up and relaxes and lets her greatness shine...or
B. she leaves the country...or
C. there is some sort of reason like hereditary-social-ineptitude -I think that could be a disorder...I just made it up though...but still...it seems like something that could be in a psych book somewere no?

Anyhoo...my friend and I talked about it. And he clarified that they weren't serious. And that in reality they probably would break up. And that I shouldn't worry about it. -I won't. He then laughed about what a hypocrite I was for telling him that he was awesome and that he totally could find a better girlfriend than that. And then I laughingly agreed...I AM a hypocrite...and I give my friends carte blanche to speak their minds any time...and tell me how awesome I am!

is this the same male friend who made the monkey throwing poo comment? If so, I briefly observed this same girl (nicknamed applesauce apparently, but she doesn´t know that) and wasn't impressed. Hahaha. oh well.

It is indeed the same friend who made the monkey throwing poo comment...and it is indeed the same girl. And I am seriously NOT impressed either.

PS. When are you coming home so that I can grumble about her lameness face to face with you?
