What do you ladies think? (to the ladies in long term relationships, not with surfboards)

Or maybe this can be addressed to the singletons as well?

When dating your boyfriend, have you (as a couple) ever been called a clique?

I always thought a clique was a small, exclusive group of individuals who have their own in-jokes, quirks, outings etc., barring other individuals who attempt to enter the group. Usually consisting of an organiser, a gate controller and Plebians.
And a couple as a couple, 2 individuals (generally dating/married) seen as one item.

It seems Phil and I have been called a clique, perhaps it's because we were "individuals" before we started dating, and now we are a couple. Is it that couples are considered "cliques" or that singletons don't understand the definition of a "clique"?

Shell spoke to me Sunday night about not spending enough time with Yabs people, that Phil and I spend too much time together (whilst at church) and we have to be careful not to lose connections with others before we realise "Oh crap, we're married but we have no friends."
I really don't know about that, I love spending time with Phil, and as much as I appreciate Yabs peeps, the immature behaviour that they display isn't exactly an attractive reason to stay and chat. Especially when I have to be up at 0600 the next morning and Phil at 0400. And especially when Phil and I haven't spent a decent day together alone, trying to sneak in an hour here and there (still not alone), it gets so damn hard to find time to see each other, when I'm on morning and he's on nights, we ARE passing ships in the night. When I start my 0900 shifts, I won't be seeing him at all. I need him, there I said it, I need Philip.

We'd really love to get into an 'older' Bible study, Yabs peeps seems to 'young' for us (check out the plethora of "" and '' eh?). It's definitely a change from uni to working. From lazy uni students with only assessments to care about, to fulltime workers with everything else to worry about. Talk about change, you know, I kind of mourn the past times where I could wake up at whatever time I liked, go over to Lilyfield to pull Cat out for breakfast, time to read, time to make a huge batch of chocolate truffles, where the responsibilities you have are only to yourself.

Maybe I'm getting old, and I'm only 22. I think the responsibilities placed onto us (nurse and police officer) has really forced us to mature and see our social world, as well as emotionally, quite differently. I think I've matured more this year, starting real nursing has shocked me into responsibility and accountability, for myself, my responsibility for my colleagues, for my patients. I think only Karen will really know what I mean.

Anyways, I gotta be heading to sleep now, it's 2334 and I have to be up at 0645. I gotta think about what to get for dinner tomorrow as well. We're having a quiet night in plus dvd.

I can't wait to move outta home, or have my brother move out. Anybody want to look at the hole he left in my door? He's got issues, and he's not gonna take it out on me, nor my furniture. Life at home is sooo joyous... yes, can you feel the sarcasm radiating out of your computer screen?

Okay, as noted in the previous post, Yum Cha has been postponed to a later date when all theses are finished and handed in. So I'll get Phil to celebrate with me my 2/3 of the way through the New Grad Program.

They have me double scrubbing already, I was scouting and in recovery last week. I've seen too many groins, and I will be seeing more... Well I'll be scrubbing on my own tomorrow (damn big ask mind you for a new grad only in CCL for less than 2 weeks!)

Hope theses are going well for you ladies, I'll talk to you later!

Dancing went well by the way ;) I won't mention anything else ;)
