Well, as it has been recommended by someone who knows more about these things than I do, here I am trying out a new way to publish my life. Sadly, on the day that I decide/remember to have a play, I haven’t really done anything worth writing down. So instead, this part of the blogging world gets one of my rants about the state of the world today.
I was not impressed when picking up a copy of the Independent from earlier in the week, that Bridget Jones, role model for dejected single people everywhere, is discussing marriage. Not only that, but she is apparently expecting a baby as well. What is the world coming to!? Who are single women (and single gays i guess) everywhere going to look up to if Bridget Jones settles down?
The way I see it, the world already has far too many happy disneyesque girls with the boyfriend or husband or prince charming of their dreams, but I really can’t think of another heroine who still gets cheered for when she falls down after chasing her man, and goes home to lie on the sofa eating Häagen-Dazs. Because let’s be honest, how many fairytale princesses do we all know, compared to the number of single people?

Yeah, I know quite a few princesses, as well as lots of single people, but to be honest I prefer the singletons. They’re much more likely to want to go out and get completely wasted, tired out, party ’til dawn and so forth; they have so much more to be unhappy about. They have so much more they need to suppress!
