Dear Diary

It's two in the 'sodding' AM and the girls of 4822 have recently ajourned to our respective living spaces, sombered by the shadowy reality that Mr Mark Darcy exists only in Bridget Jone's world. But apart from being impressioned by hopeless depression at the lack of men who would travel round the world to be with you, much less save you, I have also decided to draw up a little 'December 31' report, albeit, ahead of time.

December 14, 2005

Fallen in love: 483924 times (seriously)
Boy friends: 1.5
Weight loss: -1 pounds
Loved: 1
Exboyfriends: 2
Evicted from a 7 year relationship: 1
Marriage proposals: 0

No, there is NO progress this year.

But as noted by a friend of mine, the issue probably doesn't lie with us, but with men. The singleness of some individuals is enough to prove that. But here I am looking at the boys in my life whom I have been romantically involved with and, despite them being beautiful in their own way, find more joy in having lost then in having been loved before.

Commitment doesn't start with both parties in the boat. It starts with the chase.

and in the waiting.

You never mustered the strength to fight for me.
~ Bridget.
