Helen Fielding quotes about
writing people diaries
The whole point of diaries is that other people find them and read what you've put. I did once take to writing my inner thoughts on the computer at the end of other things I was writing and ended up faxing four pages of hideous stuff to my accountant so I don't do that now.
writing white numbers
It's amazing how much time and money can be saved in the world of dating by close attention to detail. A white sock here, a pair of red braces there, a gray slip-on shoe, a swastika, are as often as not all one needs to tell you there's no point in writing down phone numbers and forking out for expensive lunches because it's never going to be a runner.
self substance way
I will not sulk about having no boyfriend, but develop inner poise and authority and sense of self as woman of substance, complete without boyfriend, as best way to obtain boyfriend.
men radical-feminism unattractive
In the end there is nothing more unattractive to men than radical feminism.

One minute you're closer to someone than anyone in the whole world, next minute they need only to say the words 'time apart', 'serious talk' or 'maybe you...' and you're never going to see them again and will have to spend the next six months having imaginary conversations in which they beg to come back, and bursting into tears at the sight of their toothbrush.
thinking-about-you thinking like-you
No one is thinking about you. They're thinking about themselves, just like you.
how-you-feel be-good feels
You see, things being good has nothing to do with how you feel outside, it is all to do with how you are inside.
valentine cynical matter
Valentine's Day purely commercial, cynical enterprise, anyway. Matter of supreme indifference to me.

Exes should never, never go out with or marry other people but should remain celibate to the end of their days in order to provide you with a mental fallback position.
