  NEIL TENNANT IS FOREVER THE SAGE OF WISDOM This afternoon was a bit frustrating, but I successfully accomplished my main goal for today.
Now, if I could just get the sound card working again. I became so frustrated, I went outside and jumped rope. The guy in Parade was right. It is an intense little cardio workout. I did ten minutes and it is reportedly the equivalent of running for 30 minutes. I was dripping with sweat after ten minutes and exhausted so it must be true. I made a chicken caesar salad and sat down to eat before I go to the GPNA meeting tonight.
I decided to read the Questions section on the Pet Shop Boys Web site. I always find it entertaining. I was not disappointed. Neil is giving advice to the lovelorn again. See below: Rhiannon From New Zealand: Hi, umm you know how I go out with someone who usually isn't very nice to me (wont talk to me, be in the same room as me, or let me kiss him etc), well I'm still with him even though on the whole Im not happy, I just feel somewhat paralysed when it comes to trying to leave him, I've been with him for 9 months and I just cant bring myself to break up with him even though he's an ***hole, I feel so stupid, but yeah.
I guess I just stay with him in the hope that sometimes he'll be nice to me, like he occasionally is.
Anyway, last week I met someone that I felt I clicked with right away, he is absolutely gorgeous and has a really nice, kind personality and whats more, I make him laugh all the time which is really great. I'm a pretty weird person and not everyone finds the things I say amusing, like my boyfriend will just be like "riiiiiiight" and look at me like i'm mental, whereas this new guy is cracking up laughing. It makes me feel really good inside. Even though I've only known him for a week, I havent felt this way about anyone before.
Finally, someone who treats me like a human being. I don't know what to do about the situation - I don't know if I even want to leave my boyfriend because he has been nice to me all last week (probably because he knows im interested in the new guy) and if things could be like that all the time I'd sooo stay...I don't even know if the other guy has a girlfriend...and would I be able to gain the courage to leave my boyfriend anyway?
Sorry if the length of this message freaks you out, I've noticed most of the long questions are really mental and make no sense...maybe like this one? oops! Neil: Play "I don't know what you want but I can't give it any more" and then go with the new guy! N
