Thoughts from beyond the kitchen..

There have been an abundance of posts this week mostly due to my work load and needing an easy way of distracting myself but also because I realised how much fun it is to have a little whine about stuff..
So yeah most of today has been uneventful, in fact me and the other 2 girls in my flat spent nearly 2 hours sitting in our hallway floor because it was warm. What I noticed was that sitting there seemed to induce more gossip and general complaining than say sitting on the sofa. I think its because its a new environment, it had that same feeling that you get when you're on holiday and you eat a lot. You know "my god [enter name here] has gotten fat! Oh god we shouldn't have said that... It's OK we're in the hall, we can work off all this bad karma with Jade Goody's Bad Karma Workout 3: Losing the racist in you, when we're back in the living room.."

I'm not sure its as satisfying as drinking fancy cocktails every night and meeting hot local boys and it almost always makes you feel worse in the end but what was interesting was the other day we were reading some rubbish magazine and there were interviews with random blokes and a few of them said that the thing they hated the most about women was how much they gossiped. That was clearly not a problem for some of our male friends who came and joined us and were actually encouraging the bitching - especially about men. These particular friends of ours have been known in the past to complain about how much woman bitch and moan about men but in the comfort of the unfamiliar hallway they could say what they really felt and used the air of occasion to actually admit that they enjoy a good bitch. It just proves that no one is immune to gossip and from our extensive research venting can actually help you see more clearly about things and definitely makes you feel good about yourself even if it is somewhat short lived..
