no freakin'; no fakin' this
Zoe went on a date last night so I had some in-time with Donna, because I didn't have a date.
I don't see Donna very much these days, because she works odd hours and because Zoe and I like to spend our free time running around looking for coke and boys and clothes and things to make our house nicer. Donna isn't into those things so she doesn't come with us, which means I miss out on hearing about things about her life.
Another reason that I never see her is that Donna has a sinister boyfriend who sometimes gets the train (even though he has a car) all the way from Lincoln at 8pm on Friday night and leaves again 10am Saturday morning (even though he doesn't have anything to do). He uses phrases like "cool beans" and "fair do's" which fill with me inexplicable rage and mean that I have to vacate the immediate vicinity whenever I know he's coming.
Boyfriends that behave in odd ways are, I feel, to be avoided, as in my experience it hides a deeper problem. This problem is usually 'failing to mention still being in love with ex girlfriend', which is irritating because no one likes to be lied to, but could be 'generally unenthusiastic about the relationship' or 'hiding secret past as shadow cabinet minister' or 'serial killer'. These are more serious and will lead to heartache.
On a similar front, I have decided that my current boyfriend doesn't suit me, and until he can prove otherwise he's going to have to settle for 'distant friendship'. This has lead to some heartache, but will prevent me strangling him in his sleep.

are you saying that using the train is indicative of sinister motives?
Only when it suggests that your live-in girlfriend is using the car!
Not when you're a broke-ass student trading law advice for absinthe.
