Friendly Fire

I have a slight problem.
How do you tell a friend that the girl he is currently with: is using him, is treating him horribly, and he should get out now? 


Without sounding like a horrible person?


In a Hollywood film it would end up that I am in love with the friend, telling him would mean I'd lose him, but it ends up he loves me too and then through something miraculous we'd be brought back together, get married and have 100's of babies... 
Sounds far-fetched but that's Hollywood for you.

However, this is life - not Hollywood's fantasy land and I'm not in love with my friend; I'm just freaking concerned for him.
This is his first girl friend, and I know he doesn't want to feel the way he did before having someone in his life... But she is a horrible person. She lies outright to his face, all the time.
I haven't met her yet, but I want to - just so I can punch her in the face.

One solid one for treating such a gentle person so horribly!

Who does she think she is?
She is jealous of all his friends, more so with the ladies. I can't quite work this one out: he was friends with these people before he even met her, so if he wanted to be with them, he wouldn't have chosen to date her...
I don't understand humans!

Her latest trick has been trying to guilt him into things. 
To tell him he is selfish and should buy her things...
Oh my dear lord above, that man be selfish? He can guilt himself into buying his friends things, by now she will have been showered in gifts. 


From what I can gather she has seen how much he earns and is gold digging her way into the rest of his life. 

I just don't know how to tell him he has made the biggest mistake of his life. He has already told her he loves her, and his friends are distancing themselves from him so they don't have to meet his evil shadow. 

That is not how life should be. 
If you've managed to keep friends this long after high school (and can still find things to talk about...) that should be congratulated, and you could presume that it would be a life long friendship -  until some woman comes along and ruins everything!
Horrible specimen of a human that even the devil himself would be afraid of.


On a side note, I'm thinking of having a dinner party and inviting old high school friends over.
 - excuse me while I go polish my knuckle dusters.

Time, ill spent

Dear Readers,

Depending on who is reading this, you might have have known that last week was very exciting for me, and not in a good way.
I attended the Uni Cocktail Party at this cool little bar in Fremantle, WA - called the East End Bar.
Awesome place, there were velvet covered walls, luxurious couches (including a chaise...) - all in all rather fantastic place, and I would generally recommend it!
However, and maybe its as I am hitting that early mid-twenties stage and I don't bounce back as quick, I have either had alcohol poisoning or my drink was spiked.
An experience that I don't recommend for anyone, nor one that I ever thought I would have.

Luckily it happened as the bar tab was closing and it was the last drink I had that was the issue.
However, I can not remember the last hour of the night.
I have been using my best detective skills to try and piece together what happened to me. I have found more people that remember the night a whole lot more than I do, so I am talking to them trying to sought out what I did - which ends up being an entirely different story.

I am a little wary now, and it will be a long time before I am able to drink alcohol again.

So let this be a lesson to all of you, keep an eye on what you're drinking - and how much you drink. Losing hours of your life and time not spent partying with your friends on the dance floor is time ill-spent.
