Ted: We broke up over a year ago.
Robin: Yeah, but that's not that long ago. Watching you marry
another woman isn't exactly something I was looking forward to.
I don't know, I just thought if I ever changed my mind about
marriage and kids, it was nice to know that you were there.
Ted: So I was your safety school. How flattering.
Robin: No, that's not it. It's just that...
Ted: Why are you bringing any of this up? There is nothing
between us anymore.
Robin: Maybe there is, I mean of course there is. That kind of
stuff just doesn't disappear without a trace. Look, I'm not
just another guest here Ted.
Ted: Right, we used to date but we both moved on and look,
we got what we wanted. I'm getting married and you got your
dream job in Tokyo and they all lived happily ever....
Robin: I quit my job.
Ted: You what?
Robin: I'm moving back to New York, I though I wanted that
job but I want to come back to my real life and I think you
should go back to yours.
Ted: What's that supposed to mean?
Robin: Don't get married. Look, you're rushing into this. It's
like you're trying to skip ahead to the end of the book. Ted,
you are the most romantic guy I know. You stole a blue french
horn for me, you tried to make it rain.
Ted: I did make it rain.
Robin: It was a coincidence. But after all that this is how
your great romantic quest comes to an end? You're just
disappearing into someone else's wedding, someone else's
house, someone else's life without a second thought. That's
not the amazing ending that you deserve. That's not Ted Mosby.

Though, while I am in love with Robin Scherbatsky, I do find it selfish of her to be saying this to Ted. She was originally the reason for their incompatibility. She didn't want to get married or want kids, but then she goes and says to Ted that "it was nice to know that you were there". It really shows how immature she is to think she can decide if their relationship is "On" or "Off". Love isn't a switch. You hurt someone like that and usually friends is all your going to get out of them. But I like how Ted comments to the group that Robin is his best friend. (Quickly corrected by the guys to his best*female*friend.) But never the less, someone he still cares a great deal about as a friend. Why can't people just be friends?

Ps: I find myself with a lot of similarities between me and the character Ted Mosby from the show How I Met Your Mother. After I lost interest in House MD, and discovered this show, I have found that I never get bored of any episodes. HIMYM is probably the best show of all time, and I probably wouldn't want to know you if you didn't like it. Sorry, but Ted feels the same way about the original Star Wars, Episode 4.

Ugh! I have been meaning to get on and post something for ages! Just seems to keep falling through. How long has it been now? Too long, so I'll jump right into it.

Last week I moved into my girlfriends house while her parents were away for the week. Probably the best way to get to know someone is to be in their personal space. I thought it was awesome! (They have a large HDTV *snicker* I have a PS3) But yeah, it was fun. Although we both worked, had tafe and went out, it was still fun to know that when you got home you got to rest, have dinner and chat with the person you wished you could every other night.

The other day I bought "Battle Field - Bad Company". It was a close call between that and "Call Of Duty 4" which ended up coming down to the price, and the fact that I have played the demo of Bad Company. Everything is destructible. Try it, it's awesome. Also played NHL Hockey '08. Awesome. Totally like the real thing. Besides blazing visuals, you can get into fist fights. Yes, it is boxing on ice ladies and gentlemen. Played against my girlfriends older brother, and although he won, I managed to deck a few of his players. Haha.

Also I have another exciting revelation involving work, but I'm keeping fairly tight lipped about it till after it all falls into place. It's more of a let down if I jump the gun and it all falls through. Fingers crossed though. I'm looking forward to it.

Last on the agenda is friendships. I may be reconnecting some broken ties with a couple of people I haven't talked to for a while. We'll see how that pans out, hopeful good.

Ps: Sorry if this seems rushed, I'm a little tired. I'll post anything I've missed later. Night.

Friendship is an involuntary reflex. It just happens, you can't control it. If you have to force it then you aren't friends. You are just two people who pretend to get along, and that's not the point of a friend at all.

To my best friend,

I just wanted you to know how thankful I am for all the support you've given me. I really appreciate all you've done, sacrificed, paid for, driven to and provided me in the time we've known each other. You're the best friend I've ever had the honour of knowing.

So this is just a little love from one friend to another, on the most loving day of the year.

Thank you so much.
