My Neighbor's Girlfriend
Posted by Jess is Jess , Wednesday, January 27, 2010 Wednesday, January 27, 2010
Not in a weird way.
That's not true - this is pretty strange.
My neighbor across the hall is a very charming, handsome European gentleman. I'm fairly certain that he is from Spain or some similar Mediterranean type location.
He is delightful.
He is very polite and helpful and quiet.
Do you know who is not quiet? (I am not the answer to this question, you smart-aleck)
His girlfriend.
His girlfriend is not quiet or charming or helpful. (I don't actually know if she isn't helpful or not) She has an annoying laugh and a rolling backpack and I do not like her at all.
I'm sorry but she is simply not good enough for him. She's not pretty enough, not smart enough, not charming enough (I also don't really know if this is true or not either)
I realize that it's clear that I am not living the most interesting life given my most recent obsession (listening for them in the hallway) and that this is unbelievably judgemental and not at all founded in any sort of reality (except for her annoying laugh) but I just think that he should be with someone more chic or something.
But as my dear Tony said:
