This week will be good! If I will it to be a good week, it will be a good week…or something like that, I don’t know, I never read any of those visualisation self help books.
There are plans this week. Plans which could be good for the whole working for myself vibe. We’ll see how it goes I suppose.
And on top of that, it looks like I chose a good time to quit smoking with these new laws out to make smokers even bigger social pariahs. Something I will never agree with by the way.
As for the not smoking thing…well, the experience has really shown me why I have more male friends than female. Sorry, I don’t mean to dislike women and not be there for the sisterhood etc etc, but really, there are very few women that I get along with and can hang out with for long periods of time. And part of the reason why is because women need their friends to fail.
Let’s use this experience as an example. I told the guys and they were mostly supportive. I told the chicks in my life and I got varying responses: “Oh we’ve all said that.” “You’re like totally going to be eating more and put on weight.” “Just don’t ask to bum my smokes when you decide to give up on giving up.” etc etc etc.
So what is this built in desire for them to see another women fail? Or to see another suffering with them?
It also occurs with my relationship. I don’t really talk about the Boyf and I don’t really get mushy about my relationship, it’s just not who I am. Apparently though, this means I don’t really love him and something must be wrong and there must be someone else I’m feeling super fantastic about etc etc etc.
Let’s clear up that little story shall I? We don’t really have outrageous fights because we’ve been together 6 years, know both of us HATE prolonged fights and have figured out that communicating in a calm and quiet fashion whilst airing our respective problems actually works for us. We’re chilled people. This does not mean anything.
I don’t really talk about him or our relationship in the way you want me to because that’s not how I roll. I am not a cast member of Sex and the City. This does not mean that I hate his penis.
Oh. And then there’s this little thing that some women do where every single thing you say or do has some kind of sub text. And it’s always bad…well, almost always. Sometimes they think it’s good when it really isn’t. (So much for being intuitive)
You know what girls? Sometimes a person really is sick or dying and doesn’t actually hate you. Sometimes a guy is telling the truth and isn’t lying to you. Sometimes, the imaginary words you see behind the real ones don’t exist and you’re just imagining they’re there.
It’s this sub-text thing that makes me feel really sorry for men.
And then there are the self-help queens. Oh dear god.
I don’t really know any of the titles but one comes to mind after watching the movie based on it last week – He’s just not that into you. What a load of tripe. I watched this movie and thought, “Wow, no wonder some chicks are so fucked up if they read books or watch movies like this and take everything to heart.”
All of these things rolled together and focused on my saying that I quit smoking has meant that I have heard some delightful things this past week. I’m pretty sure there’s a bet going for when I’ll fail. There is also a secret reason for me quitting besides suddenly just deciding I was done with it – like I’m pregnant. Oh yes, and apparently I won’t succeed unless I read some self-help crap about how to quit smoking.
Sorry girls but take your venomous nature and fuck off. I don’t have time for it.

I so hear you on the relationship thing! I’m the same with my Glugster.
Chicks can be spiteful indeed…
Angel ´s last blog ..Rocking The Gardens!!
I get that, was writing a bit about parenting and I realized that so often instead of support each other we want to see others fail so we feel better about the way we choose to do things.
Good Luck with quiting, I did it and it is hard but you can do it!
Sally´s last blog ..A bit of perspective
Meh – I’ve been saying for years how much better boys are than girls.
Not in a sexual way though, obviously.
Angel – After seeing you rocking your guns ‘n roses tee, I’m thinking I need to come up there and hang out with you two. In a non spiteful way.
Sally – I’ve noticed it a lot when it comes to parenting actually. Be it blogs or my friends with kids, it’s extraordinarily frightening.
Thanx for the luck
6k – Oh well, obviously.
But yes. At the moment, boys rule and girls drool. (I have to say at the moment cos you know, they don’t always suck and well, I’m scared of the feminazis).
Hahahaha you have quit smoking because you are pregnant.. hahahaha! Oh lordy that sounds familiar. Girls are far too much hard work. I mean, I am one but it’s true. We are all too mental and high maintenance to be in groups of more than one.
