A Gold-digger’s Tale

August 1, 2008

Am I a frivolous, pragmatic, materialistic bitch?

Perhaps I am.

Don’t know why he’s so concerned about his best friend coming here. So much so that he’s willing to spend extra money having french food. Don’t get me wrong, I love foie gras. Problem lies exactly here. I love foie gras, he knows it and he complains that he has no money and has no intention of bringing me there any time in the near future.

However, at the first call his friend gives him, he asks if I know of any french restaurants near town and suggests that we join his friend. Whom we shall call p.

Maybe I’m just jealous that p has the ability to bring his girlfriend to a french restaurant while my boyfriend is only capable of asking my to fork out the money at the chinese restaurant because they didn’t accept credit cards.

Strangely, at a very very deep place in my heart, I harbor some bitter resentment towards him. He is incapable of doing any great, has no plans for the future. Well he does have some plans. Which are well, in the extremely preliminary planning stage. I’m so frustrated.

On the other hand. He’s a wonderful companion. A rock for me to lean on when the water is choppy.

So. I have to work damn bloody hard to climb up the corporate ladder and provide for my own decadent needs.
