After communication, manipulation, neediness, pushiness, detachment, insincerity, more communication, an ultimatum, a decline of an ultimatum and finally some venemous insults, a friendship looks like it ended yesterday.
In hindsight passive aggression coupled with even more insincerity may have been the wiser option on my part.
A has been supportive, though she did add: "Well, Nick, she is foreign..." Sometimes A forgets that so am I.

Brisbane again
Currently in Brisbane again - 30 degrees is far too hot for April, spent the day catching buses and filling in time, I have lost the zen I had for doing the whole public transport thing.
Hmmm that sounded like a lame Status update on Facebook.
Well if you read this and are annoyed I have not told you I am in Brisbane, believe me it is laziness of the impersonal variety.
My hostel sucks, in general I realize a lot of places in Brisbane such as Gladstone Road and Annerley Junction are best observed from the comfort of an air-conditioned vehicle.
Again, that sounded like a lame Status update on Facebook.
Note to self: lame Status updates on Facebook are killing my blog.
The above also could have been a Facebook status update. (He he I think I will make it one.)
Saw the first hour of Avatar on the plane over here. It is thoroughly anti-intellectual, Sigourney Weaver seems like a cardboard pastiche of all the heroines she has ever played and it was very predictable. All that said, Cameron does seem to know how to create an epic feel in a movie and I dare say I might watch the rest of it on the return flight.

It was all just one big malapropism
Over the last few weeks, I have been on a few dates with an ex-priest who is now a counsellor. It seemed to be showing some promise, especially the number of potential puns such as:
"I am dating an ex-priest. We have a lot in common because I am an ex-nun."
"I am seeing a counsellor."
But alas, it seems I bit more than I could chew off the wrong end of the stick.
That is, he told me he liked to hug and kiss me but wasnt sure about the sex part.
Never mind, next time I will burn that bridge when I get to it.

bright star review
saw Bright Star this week - a very awkward film to watch at first (I think intentionally so) but it sucked me in. How refreshing to have a character with bad fashion sense in a period drama! This was one of many nice touches. Not perfect but emotionally involving.
toothless attraction
Just did a gay tramp (gay bushwalk? that still sounds dodgy) today. Twas gorgeous, though was having to fend off the advances of a randy seventy-year-old.
I knew I was in for trouble when I told him my name and he said: "Nick - Nick with a big dick!" Its not exactly the best way to start a life-long platonic friendship.
"I am not in this group for sex," I said to him at one point, politely omitting the suffix "with you".
"Im not in this group for sex either," he replied. "Though it has happened a few times."

religious debate
Got into a debate at work about Jesus - now how did I let that happen?
I was saying how much I hate the hackneyed "If only we _really_ did what Jesus intended" argument.
I think if we all followed Jesus´ example we would all be paranoid, delusional and Oprah. (Note the first two adjectives might have been redundant.)
Anyway I voiced my opinion that the whole "do as you would be done by" thing kind of misses the point, worse still it keeps getting misapplied with disastrous consequences. (For example, the dreadful Amelie.)
Anyway one of my colleagues kept saying to me "but love is important" (he is not religious btw).
My comeback is to quote the great prophet Tina T: "Whats love got to do with it?"
