Brotherly Love

This isn't a very long blog today, as it doesn't have to be. The message is simple: Friends over girls/boys.
My ex-flatmate, Malcolm, who is doing a placement in London this year, came down for the weekend to visit good old Lancaster, and the people he knows so well. He's by far my best friend at Uni and i miss him greatly when he's not about.
We went drinking on Saturday, at about 4pm with his sister and one of her friends. His is sister is indeed quite hot, but unapproachable. Neevvvverrrr, even with strictest permission do you go for the sibling. It's asking for trouble and there is just no point...the friend of the sister is okay though, as i tried to demonstrate.
After this 3 hour drinking session, we decided to cook at Malcolm's sister's house on campus. More drinking ensued, and we had a good pepper and chicken thing. By 8:30pm i was in bed, needing a nap. I woke up at 10pm feeling like ARSE and didn't want to bother going to a nightclub with a full on hangover. But, as Malcolm was only up for the weekend i battled through and made it to 'the sugarhouse' at about 11pm.
Drinking, dancing, and many girls. It was a reasonable success, but i didn't pull and nor did Malcolm. If i had no hangover, i would have tried much harder with Sister's friend, who seemed interested (and is actually girlfriend material). It's a slow process. The conversation i had with Malcolm on the way to the club was a great one though, and it had a simple message in the question:
'who is out of bounds for me?' -- which means, who can i not try and get with tonight? --
and i said,
'well...no-one, you're my friend, friends are so much more important than girls will ever be...(apart from your sister).'
'What was that last part Dave?'
'...Oh...er...nothing...'
Although light hearted, i think i have serious morales when it comes to girls and friends. If a mate fucks you over for a girl, then that mate isn't a true mate. It's happened to all of us i'm sure, and there isn't much you can do. You've either lost a friend, or you've lost a girl, or maybe even both. Acceptance is a virtue that is hard to gain. The shock, the anger, the sorrow that you've lost a friend over a stupid girl is hard to overcome, but if you do, you'll be the bigger person, and they'll be many more girls and friends to come by, i assure you.
