Game Consoles at Dawn

Right, my second post seems to be about to take the shape of an advice column, except not as well worded.
In all honesty, this 'rant' is just to get my brain clear so I wouldn't take it too seriously if you're looking for definitive relationship advice.
Before I start we need to define the two persons in question: one is clearly my boyfriend. We shall define him as the good, shy boy. The other one shall simply be known as the other one for the sake of anonymity.
The question I am aiming to answer: How does a girlfriend cope when he and another boy (who said girlfriend is friends with but not in a lovie dovey way) are completely different in personalities and said boyfriend has decided that other boy is not to his liking?
The dilemma: I want them to get on, the other boy is completely unaware and boiyfriend is completely unwilling to do anyhting about the whole situation. Well, don't mind me while I just stew in the corner while my brain expldes from the whole complexity of the entire issue.
My idealistic solution (this is an aspirational blog..) would be to get boyfriend to talk to other boy and sort the whole mess out and they both go and play on their games consoles as best mates. But you and I know that advice like that is a lot easier to write than actually act out in reality.
My current solution seems to be sit in a corner and mope about how the world's gone to pieces just because my boyfriend doesn't like somebody. This is highly unrealistic and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It only ends up with a lot of wasted tissues, a wet cardigan and a whole load of crisps being eaten when you're trying to shift the Christmas pounds. It also seems to, in my case, miraculously turn into a publically accessible blog.
It is not my intention to offend. I'm just one of those people who doesn't want any wars and wishes we'd all make daisy chains with our neighbours and sing songs about world peace...hmmm, there's that aspirational bit popping in again.
I think the ideal solution girlies is that we just remain as Switzerland, as they so lovingly put it in Twilight: Eclipse. If your boyfriend wants to stew about another person not being their cup of tea, that's perfectly fine, so long as they don't let it ruin your day, holiday or trip to the zoo. Be the neutral party, but stay out of it. That means don't play carrier pigeon with word of mouth messages from either of the offended parties. What a killjoy.
Anyways, I'm sitting on my bed in a onesie pyjama suit writing this, so you can probably tell I've stayed up too late worrying about the whole petty issue. Sleep is an amazing healer: it makes us feel younger, slimmer and better mentally so it's an ideal cure for any problem. Perhaps that's why we sleep so much these days...too many problems...?

About Me

My photo
Okay, so I'm a first year law student looking for a way out of the university workload. Trust me, it can get that bad, but i'm sure it'll be worth it in the end. I crave some sort of creative output and so this blog is going to be sort of a diary of a university student. I love criticising and worshipping different media as well as socialising student style and spending time with the currently adoring boyfriend. i also love good food, a passion which also haunts me as i battle weight gain with avengence. Obsessed perfectionist and hopeless romantic, i love planned spontanaity and in this case oxymorons.
