Mayor of the Friend Zone!

All right. I am not a particularily feminine person. Yes, I have boobs, and an above average amount of scarves and shoes, but out of 15 pairs I think one or two are high heeled, and I can't wear those without falling on my face. I drink beer, watch Top Gear, love gaming, drive a tractor, can build a PC and never ever talk about make up. But does that mean I can't be seen as a potential girl friend? Seriously, do I have to dress up, dig up those high heels, put on a ton of make up, giggle and act... girly?

I had an apiffany over a glass of beer at the pub this weekend; Maybe I am just so "starved for affection" -I hate that term- or desperate or whatever, that I keep mistaking every guy I can talk to for a potential ... someone. I get so caught up in the fact that I actually have something to talk to other people about, that I forget that it's a natural thing, it's what people do: Talk to each other. It's normal. But it seems I always end up in the friend zone. I think I actually am, together with Ross from Friends, the Mayer of the Friend Zone.

In other news nothing much has happened - I still work at the farm, although it's not as much fun as it used to be. I hate pigs more than ever, everything feels like we're doing it the hard way, and a guy just quit to start another job - typically this was one of the people I talked to the most at work, and which put in most of the effort. It's heavy work, most of this, and now we're two people left pulling much of the load. Yay. So, in an attempt to give myself something to look forward to, I sent in my application for school next fall. That's right, I'm going to start Nurse's school! I'm not sure if I look forward to it or dreading it the most - I guess I'm just terrified of finding out that I'm still not able to study.

And now to something completely different - and altogether non-emotional; Go watch Wanted! Why? A: It's James McAvoy, and he's brilliant (allthough not at speaking american - it just looks plain wrong). B: It's what any comic-based "super hero" movie should've been. Yes, it's silly, over the top, unlikely and unrealistic in so many ways - but if you do the same thing as with any other action movies based on a comic book or a super hero and just go with it - it kicks ass. Ok, super hero might be the wrong term, but in the comics they did wear costumes, which basically is the only thing that separates these characters from "super heroes". It felt a bit like "Fight Club" meets "Van Helsing" or.. something or other. Go watch, will you?
