The first and only gf was Emma, the recent one I posted about. Lasted 6 months and I was 20/21 (turned 21  about halfway through). Met through another friend.
It was great for the first 3-4 months but then she became a bit of a bi*ch. It was my exams that set it all off. She had left school at 16 so didn't really value education much. She just could not seem to grasp the fact then when I had my final exams of my degree, I didn't want to go out much or spend a lot of time driving across Auckland to see her (it was an hour long drive to her Dad's place where she stayed in the weekends when she was off work, and she did not drive herself). She couldn't accept that there was about 3 weeks where I had more important things to worry about and she treated me like sh*t from then on. I still saw her on the Friday and Saturday nights, but it wasn't the usual most of the day Friday (as she was off work and I finished uni at 12) and all day Saturday as I studied during those days for those few weeks.

Better off without her in the end. Was fun for a little while but in the end we were so different and had such different values that it could not have lasted much longer. Annoying I spent so much on the Christmas present really.

Not sure about the records question, have to think about it.

oh my gosh, one of my songs is run by snow patrol too!!!! the whole bit about not being able to hear my voice but i'll be right beside you is a bit lovely
or throw me a rope by kt tunstall cos its one of my favourite songs ever
or breathe me by sia (though the irony of the song title might be a bit much lol) co it makes me cry everytime i hear it
or heal over by kt tunstall because it actually has some lyrics in it that makes sense with regards to death

all of those songs are a bit morbid
maybe always look on the bright side of life by monty python
(thats what my dad wants at his funeral lol)

I went to a funeral (did 3 in 3 months in 2000 ) and Don't worry, be happy was the record that his coffin went out too  He really was a cheerful chap!

even if you cannot hearrrrrr my voice, I'll be right beside you dearrrrrrrrr.

Ok, I'll go ... again ...

How old where you when (and if) you got into your first fight?  This can be a physical fight or big slanging match.


I was about 10 when this girl who'd been bullying me for years came over to me while I was playing on a swing in the woods.  She dragged me off it whilst pinching and pushing me and didn't really fight back because she was bigger than me but I was so wazzed off I gave her an almighty slap across the face.  She stopped dead staring at me, started crying and ran off home.  She had my hand printed on her face for at least a week

Interesting point, though, that fighting may only be unusual and memorable if you grow up as a girl ....

In light of fresh information I would like to retract any post that could in any way be construed as cheeky or offensive to Bev
