Changes and Noahs Ark
Well I can barely believe it myself, but I joined the gym today. I never, ever thought that I would do this and I've told a few people and they all looked at me as if I have gone mad. To be fair, I probably would never have joined a gym if I hadn't been on steroids for the past year, but either way, I now feel the need to give the whole gym thing a go. I'm giving it 3 months and if I don't use the membership as much as I should (2/3 times a week) then it will be back to the exercise dvd's that spend the majority of the year sitting on the shelf and sit ups that I do in occasional guilty spurts.
I told B off today for neglecting me since she got all snug in her relationship with our friend John. I'm half joking really but I also realise that this is what can happen when your cohorts get hooked up. John is going away for a few weeks and I told her that I bet she'll be phoning, emailing and wanting to go out then! I told her I'll be blanking her (joking) but it has made me realise how much things are changing. It seems that if you don't play the game of Noah's ark and do everything in 2's, then you start to lose touch with friends. Couples seem to be hanging out with couples, and singles, well we all gather together, party it up, bitch about being single (some, not all of us) and each of us eventually p*ss off when we find someone that we can go on the ark with. I wonder if I'll do that when I have a boyfriend? The only difference in my life since I started seeing The Contender is that I have forgotten to watch some of my favourite programmes such as The OC, apparently I smile like a cheshire cat after I have seen or spoken to him, and some of my brain power has been sucked up pondering what the hell is going on.
The shameful thing about not seeing B as much or talking is that we work in the same flipping building. Even more annoying is that John sits about 5 metres away from me and thinks it's funny to make comments about her having found someone better to hang out with. Bastard!
I'm heading off now to meet one of my oldest friends dating all the way back to my 'youth' in Dublin. I was a bridesmaid for her last year ( tres stressful) and I haven't seen her for ages (I guess this is what happens with marriage), and so we're having a few drinks and she's staying at my flat, which is like a bomb has hit the place.
I could sooooo do with another night of long sleep to get rid of this lingering feeling of jet lag! Oh well........

i'd be the first to admit that i got a little nutsy and noah's arky when in a relationship. and i will forego all of my favourite tv shows because, well, tv is junk and the guy may be The One. and i feel guilty about being a bad girlfriend to my girlfriends... but we ALL do it. and if it goes bust, we support each other and b*tch about it. and if goes well, well, then you settle down to something that accomodates the boyfriend and the girlfriends. =)
My friend Stephanie is always with her man now. She has only been with him for 2 months now, but she never goes out with me, without consulting on what he wants to do. No more girls night out for her....hehehehe
Maybe you could sell some steroids to the meathead types at the gym.
That way your membership could pay for itself.
And for all those new shoes.
so typical for friends to forget all about the single girls. i agree with wyn though, eventually there is a compromise, still though, it is never the same as it once was.
Wyn - As usual you are right and I have definitely been guilty of this in the past. It has yet to rear it's ugly head with The Contender but I don't see him frequently enough for that to happen.
Anne - That's exactly what I said to B. hee hee! Naturally she wasn't too enthralled..... Your friend is in the honeymoon phase at the mo. It will come to an end and things will get back to normal.
Blug - I can't find your blog at the mo. What's up? That's a fantastic idea. I'm dying to be off these steroids and I get shoes out of it too! You always have the funniest ideas.....;-)
Serially Single - I think that we just adjust to the difference after a while. You have to let your chicks leave the nest I suppose, and you only hope they'll be as understanding when you get a man and aren't available when they need you!
About two weeks ago my blog, in a drunken stupor, stepped on a twinkie and broke its neck falling down the stairs.
There were attempts to resuscitate, but the doctors informed me it would only survive in a constant vegetative state.
I removed its feeding tube and well... rip.
