Over the much deserved holiday I
noticed a trend of the romantically inclined that seemed more than
coincidence, and somewhat extreme...
It seemed that almost all of my close
friends were/are either a) getting engaged, b) getting pregnant or c)
getting dumped. And apparently this has stretched quite far; having
asked friends of friends, acquaintances and even complete randoms
(sorry randoms, I told you I wasn't crazy, this is the column of
proof). In all fairness, the break ups are well exceeding the
future unions and up-the-duffers, to the point where the causal
drinks with all of your couple friends have turned into binge
drinking sessions ending in plans of total world domination, hot sex
with the forbidden flatmate and running to the south island with your
new lesbian lover (all true instances). Take a minute out of your day
and count how many of your friend have recently experienced a, b or
c?
