thinking people age
I made my excuses and left, thinking, really, after a certain age, people are just going to do what they're going to do and you're either going to accept them as they are or you're not.
love-you heart blanket
When someone loves you it's like having a blanket all round your heart...
sometimes needed deals
It occurred to me that if Africa needed us, sometimes we needed Africa a great deal more.
party garden tree
It struck me as pretty ridiculous to be called Mr. Darcy and to stand on your own looking snooty at a party. It's like being called Heathcliff and insisting on spending the entire evening in the garden, shouting "Cathy" and banging your head against a tree.
i-like-you romantic-love movie-love
I like you very much. Just as you are." Mark Darcy, Bridget Jones
sex character heart
Can officially confirm that the way to a man's heart these days is not through beauty, food, sex, or alluringness of character, but merely the ability to seem not very interested in him.
life fall alaska
It is a truth universally acknowledged that as soon as one part of your life starts looking up, another falls to pieces.
men skills social
I'm no good at anything. Not men. Not social skills. Not work. Nothing.
feet waiting forgiving
..we were always taught, instead of waiting to be swept off our feet, to 'expect little, forgive much'.

Oh God. valentine's Day tomorrow. Why? Why? Why is (the) entire world geared to make people not involved in romance feel stupid when everyone knows romance does not work anyway. Look at (the) royal family. Look at Mum and Dad.
looks like-you auschwitz
You'll never get a boyfriend if you look like you wandered out of Auschwitz.
believe weight-loss years
I looked at him nonplussed. I realized that I have spent so many years being on a diet that the idea that you might actually need calories to survive has been completely wiped out of my consciousness. Have reached point where believe nutritional idea is to eat nothing at all, and that the only reason people eat is because they are so greedy they cannot stop themselves from breaking out and ruining their diets.
work-out doe
Oh God, what's wrong with me? Why does nothing ever work out?
wrestling dying-alone balance
As women glide from their twenties to thirties, Shazzer argues, the balance of power subtly shifts. Even the most outrageous minxes lose their nerve, wrestling with the first twinges of existential angst: fears of dying alone and being found three weeks later half-eaten by an Alsatian.
