Fuck ups

My dear friend Julia and I got together last night on my way back from Greenport. I met her at the beach last summer and we had a little dating thing going on for a short while. We are still pretty good friends, but sometimes I think she is crazy. She is very wild and it is usually very liberating to be around her because she always just wants to have a good time. She has been dating this guy for a month. He is a great fuck up.

I mean this in the nicest way. One of my exes reminds me so much of him because he's a total jerk and is completely irresponsible, but such a funny sweetheart when it counts. We have all dated them. Us girls think we can 'fix them', but we only wind up getting annoyed and worked up. These kinds of men will never change. Her boyfriend got arrested and lost his phone last night. He then (at age 31) had to call his parents to get him out of going to the precinct. What an embarrassment. It was good to see Julia, but this is something she will have to realize for herself. Oh well.
