Hung Up On You

Well, am still unemployed. Nobody wants me, am probably unemployable. Have nothing going for me except my sense of humour... heaven help me!

Haven't heard back about the interview - and today I found out that my old best friend from school is currently in LA, meeting the head honchos of her law firm who want to make her Company Secretary of the European sector, or something.

Possibly Company Secretary of the World.

I can't even get a part-time job.

Boo. Hoo.

I must add, even though this friend and I haven't spoken in over a decade, I don't begrudge her any of her success. She has worked hard for it.

Can you believe that her mother ruffled my hair (ruffled my hair!) this evening and said "You haven't changed a bit".

But I'm 29 now - and back then I was an awkward, nerdy teenager - I'm 29 now!

I bloody hope I have changed...

I love you, and whether you have changed or not, you're wonderful. I would totally hire you if I, you know, had a real job... :) :)

It will all work out in time.

Yeah, you're right. Aw, thanks potential boss!

So what if you haven't changed! Why do people have to constantly change? I'm pretty sure that's a sign of instability. Perhaps you should have said that at least you are stable enough to stay the same. ;)

But I mean this woman last saw me when I was an insecure, spotty, horrible little teeanager - I just mean I hope I have gained some self-respect and manners since then! Essentially, I am still that dorky kid and proud of it - but argh.

She ruffled my hair!

I'm quite sure you have changed, a lot. You've grown and developed in only the time I've known you. You were a Thai hermit for goodness sake!

And that's great for your friend, but would you want that stuff? I know a girl who is 19 and writes articles for famous music magazines. I'm not as magnanimous as you; I hate her frickin' guts. At 19, that's just showing off!

Love you x

Thanks babe! Love you too!

Actually, yeah screw her - she stole my boyfriend and spread round college that I got crap exam results - she's an utter cow really!

Plus, I know for sure she lives alone and has no friends.
