"Welcome"

I have a question to ask. Has anyone ever heard me speak well of football (soccer)?

I admit that I might have said something complementary about some of the players but as far as the game itself - nope! Don't like it. Find it extremely boring. I don't appreciate a "good" goal. I am not bothered about whether the better team won or lost (surely the better team always win?).

The reason for my rant is that I'm back after 14 days and Boyfriend comes home kisses me hello, says he loves me, says he's missed me, says it's great to have me back. Sits down, have a nice meal together, watch an episode of House. Boyfriend then gets up and starts undressing - "Hello, Welcome home, Ems!"

No! Any thoughts in that direction were foolish and obviously only just in my mind. Boyfriend is off to practise footie. Note: practise! Not playing a match/game.

Whatever.

I don't want to be the girlfriend who crams Boyfriend's style (if he had any) and I don't mind him having a kick around with his friends and he did ask me if it'd be ok. But it would have been nice if he had stayed at home without me having to say "I'd prefer it if you stayed at home tonight".

Well, I didn't say it straight out and he's a boy. What else can I expect? I like football even less now and I'm off to sulk for a little bit. Perhaps I should watch a bit of Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice, that ought to cheer me up. Back then they'd only snub a girl for proper reasons such as duels, hunting or infidelity rather than something as silly as football.

I have heard that heat-gel can be uncomfortable if someone puts it in someone else's shorts...
