Julie Is A Whore

Note from the ex which says he's a mess without me. He was a mess when I was with him. Also, this is another fucking lie because he wrote it when I was technically still with him. Even though he didn't behave like we were together.

Oh,,and he apologised about Julie, who if you remember sent me a sympathy break-up email when I moved in, asking for my new address. Actually, it was sent before I moved in. Actually, I didn't tell her I was moving out.

I guess he figured Julie had already told me about them when I moved out, which is why he put that in the note. Looks like we both overestimated Julie's morals. Great fucking start to their relationship. I thought about mailing Wayne, but what good would it do me. He'll find out soon enough and when he does I hope he goes to work on Stephen with a crowbar.

Speaking of exes, but a totally different kind, Alan shares the house, but that was a long time ago and we're both totally cool. This is going back three years and neither of us has mentioned it. It was like a two months thing that never got serious. Fun though. And yes, very.

Here's a coincidence: the guy on the tube train hatbox incident from last week turns out to be Joey, who, it turns out is quiet and weird. Quiet and weird + occasional rants = Nutcase. I told Gina this and she seems a little concerned, but she is too quick to trust people anyway.

For example, the other day Gina called me her best friend. That's very sweet, but there was a pause after she said it, and I told her I was glad she was here and "sorting herself out". I threw in "herself" because I hope she doesn't get all clingy. I mean her mum died and I can't imagine how that must feel, but having a best friend is a big deal, and to be fair, she's nice, but she can be a little overbearing. Having someone who thinks they are your best friend living with you could get a little much. I hope she finds a boyfriend or something. She doesn't seem to hurried to find work, so I guess her mum left her some money and she's over here chasing her parents and I bet I'm going to be the one she comes crying to when she can't find them. I think she got the message, but I'm not sure. I mean, I was a little clingy to her when I was in New York, but that's because I was away from home, but that doesn't mean that's the kind of person I am.

Nick cooked a Thai meal, saying it was good for Gina to have a traditional East End meal. This is strange because I didn't think there was much of a Thai community in this part of London, and also because none of us are from this side of town. The food was amazing, but the set-up it was all a bit too Peter's Friends for me. At least people made the effort, I guess, apart from Joey who wore a Radiohead t-shirt and no shoes. He left the table feeling sick at the end of the meal, but later stayed up with Gina and Alan while I sneaked off to write this and do a bit of Ebay browsing.
