You must like to spank or be spanked, because your
romance is remeniscent of Secretary. A truly
modern love story, it shows that you don't need
to be conventional to be normal. You're
probably the type that owns a whole lot more
leather than what's upholstering your car or
sofa. Yeah, you know what I mean.


What Romance Movie Best Represents Your Love Life?

so when do I get to see this movie I've never heard of?

I just got back from sydney where I went to a cocktail party. In the car on the way home we discussed the fact that we have just spent 4 days of our lives for 24 hours in sydney - was it worth it? We have decided to fly next time.

The party was a good one, and certainly of the sort I don't think I would get to in Melbourne. I don't know that many people who own tuxes or feel strongly enough about dressing up to get one for a party. I'm glad I went.

I particularly enjoyed the way I didn't feel drunk, but felt comfortable enough to talk to people I don't see very often, about stuff I don't talk about too much. I was only indiscrete once during the evening - I think.

I had a very interesting conversation with the friend I was staying with, about a mutual friend. They seem to have had an enormous misunderstanding about what each of them wants from life. The, "ergh!! no way! I think of her like my sister" response was particularly revealing. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.

I start my new job tomorrow, what a relief! Friday, my last day of work, made me realise what a bad place it was for my emotional well-being. Either that or I'm just going to have to accept that I'm too weird for people to be friendly with.

( Here's what I wrote on Friday while waiting to be allowed to leave )

The drinks part of the day was a bit of a fizzer too. The speeches and gift giving happened with only half the company in the room, and then they mostly left so I was left talking to Michael and Phil, my bosses, while I waited for the phone call from James and Laura that they were downstairs ready to leave. It was pathetic.
