95 DAYS, 94 TO GO...

Apologies for the lack of blog between multiple deadlines, family emergencies and one horrendous toothache I wasn't in the right frame of mind to write about my quest for a Plus 1. OK excuses over let's get down to business.

Since my last update I've been having a bit of an epiphany and have begun questioning whether in fact I even want a Plus 1 for Ross and Rachel's forthcoming nuptials.

I mean if this Plus 1 becomes a permanent fixture it's really going to mess with my already busy schedule and I will not give up Polercise (don't worry Lana Lang) or any of my other social engagements for, dare I say it, a boyfriend.

And to be fair why should I? If he's lucky enough to garner my attention then he needs to fit around my timetable. "HIGH MAINTENANCE!" I hear Diamond cry - no I prefer NOT SETTLING FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN I DESERVE.
What's wrong with that?

Take my friend Single Lizzie. Prior to this blog she was just called Lizzie but since her scum bag, cheating ex-boyfriend Matt (yes adulterer, your name has not been changed to protect your identity) dumped her she has rejoined the Singleton Club.
But her current predicament got me thinking about the Perils of the Plus 1.

Single Lizzie and the loser had been together for four years and she had no idea he had already checked out of the relationship. When he broke up with her he said he didn't want to be with her anymore, failing to mention that he had been with at least two other girls.

Personally I think she's better off without him. And as my future husband Justin Timberlake sings "What goes around comes around". Let's hope it's an STI.
Now Single Lizzie's back on the market again and I've another mate to go out and bitch about men with. We don't actually sit and bitch all the time - well only when we're really hammered.

I have to give Single Lizzie credit where it's due, she has yet to become jaded despite what he did to her. She is totally positive and is totally up for a laugh.
I'm glad she hasn't let him break her down - roll on the Nicole and Single Lizzie Party Train!

Back to the Plus 1 debate. I know if I don't get a Plus 1 for the wedding it won't be the end of the world I'll still have a great time with my friends - even the smug married Lumberjacks.

And who knows maybe there'll be a few singles at the blessed event to catch my eye. I hear there are two other weddings at the same hotel...anyone up for gate crashing??

So here's the state of play...

POTENTIAL PLUS 1'S - 2 - Diamond is still trying to set me up with the Geek but I'm totally adverse to fix ups so take the hint!

GAY BACK-UPS - 2

WISH LIST POTENTIALS - Wentworth Miller (as always my lover is still on the list), James Franco (I don't care if he's the Green Goblin I heart him!) and Dave Annable who plays Justin Walker on Brothers & Sisters (I swear he's not the ONLY reason I watch the show...)

STUPID SUGGESTIONS FROM PEOPLE WHO JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND ME - 15

NUMBER OF EXCUSES FOR NO PLUS 1'S - 3

Excuse number 1 - He couldn't make it he's stuck at Terminal 5 at Heathrow, he's been there since April. I miss him :(

Excuse number 2 - He's allergic to weddings. I know it's very odd he's been like that since he was a kid. There's no cure unfortunately.

Excuse number 3 - He's at the bar. I wonder what's taking him so long....(look randomly in the direction of the bar and hope they buy the story)

NUMBER OF RANTS AND/OR PANIC ATTACKS - 12 including this blog!

See ya!

Love Nicole x
