h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

yeah, I don't even care what flowers they are, a flowre is a flower, my mate Coe handed his girlfriend (of exactly one week) a fake rose that had been sitting in the common room for weeks and I thought that was one of the sweetest things I'd see anyones boyfriend do.

I'm quite happy to look British in that kinda pale and interesting way we seem to have, better than having the skin texture of leather and the tone of an orange...fact is even when I have tried to tan I haven't seen any change so I don't have much choice

You're so easily pleased!

Orange, leathery skin... kinda like David Dickinson?

I'm sure you look gorgeous just the way you are hon

well it's the little gestures that are often the most special.

I was thinking Dale Winton but yep.

Am not gorgeous, or pretty or even vaguely interesting looking...am f-ugly!

Oi! You can put that kind of thought straight out of your head. I know I've not even seen a pic of you, but I'd be prepared to bet that you are *extremely* good looking. Stop putting yourself down!

except I'm not, I'm extremely not

I have my opinions...

technically when it comes to my attractiveness rating you can't have an opionion as you'd need evidence to form one.

Yeah, but that's only a minor technicality...

I think it's rather a large technicality

What's up sweetheart?

Honestly? my low's probably because my hormones are starting to level out again (period) that or I'm f**king sick of being ignored by the opposite sex...

and the fact that my friend Don came and gave me a proposal for the yearbook of writing a synopsise of the couples of our year isn't filling me with happiness.

Least of all that I'm trying to make sure it's longstanding couples so I don't have to include bloody Laura and Jimbo but this means that I have to exclude two of my best friends (Lisa and Coe) because they've only been together a couple of weeks.

So now I'm having Ali and Grant, Isal and Don, Alice and Bod all handing me bloody couply happy together photos of them all and I've got to sit here and write about how long and how happy they are!

And what's worst is people are starting to talk seriously about the 6th year formal and it seems to be desperately important that we're all coupled off for it and that's never gonna happen...I may as well not go!!

I'm sick of the whole F**KING situation!

Couldn't you ask someone else to write that bit of the yearbook?

no I've already promised to do it and the only other person I would trust to write it well (better than me) would be Ali and she's in one of the couple

Ah... How about working on it together? Or would that be even worse?

probably worst because listening to her talk abou how brilliant her relatiosnhip is won't exactly make my singleton status feel any better

I know it's not always easy sweetheart, but try not to think about it too much.

unfortunately seems to be the only thing that's coming up at the moment so can't help thinking about it.

You don't have to think abotu it all the time though do you? Once it's done, (hopefully) it'll be out of the way

probably not but considering the things on my mind at the moment having to write about relationships isn't brilliant...I have however started writing a thing about love, about what it really means when people tell you they love you...I started it as a laugh a while back as part of a creative writing thing I was mucking about with and I re read it today and thought I'd expand on it.

It's kinda true if it is soly from a womans prospectus

How long have you got to write it? Could you just 'let it sit' for a while?

That sounds really interesting... would you ever let me read it once you've finished it?
