BFFASPOT

BFFASPOT's are an addiction for me, that I am trying to cure myself of desperately. They are unhealthy, only fun at the start and inevitably end up with my long term friends laughing at me fondly with a tinge of exasperation whilst saying things like "When are you going to fall for me Gracey? When is steady ol' Clare going to be good enough?".
So what is exactly is a BFFASPOT? Well apart from being a really catchy acronym that I am sure Cosmo and Cleo will be beating down my door shortly in order to make it the new 'frienemy', it means a Best Friend For A Short Period Of Time.
I'm more predictable in my predilection for a certain type of girls as BFFASPOT's than in my very very predictable predilection for boyfriends (Helloooooooooo Tagger Drawl!). I like them attractive, crazy, fun, jealous, and ready to fuck me/my friends over at the drop of a vintage hat, after which I have to break up with them which is harder than breaking up with a BF. You can't cry with these girls. You can't divvy up the bars you frequent, cus there are only 3 bars in Perth. You can expect to become obsessed with the shitty things that they have done, which I guess isn't that unlike a romantic breakup. You can also expect to have the negative breakup feelings like "Why me? How do I attract these people? Is there something wrong with me? Am I in fact, doing it wrong?" but it's more than likely not you if you're the fuck-overee. Just remember that anyone that steals is a dickhead and 50% of girls are fucked in the brain.


Review;

• BFFASPOTs can be expected to last anywhere between 2 weeks to 3 months.
• Look out for the girl other than you that's shooting tequila upside down at 4am. She's a prospect.
• A+++ at the start, quickly dwindle when things start to go missing out of your room and your friends are being a bit weird because they've "heard things".
• Can often disappear with Devendrah Banhart to India aka Vic Park/obscurity
• I give them 2 stars for the shooting of tequila at 4am.
  

Hip.. stir?

After numerous drive by insults while riding my bike and my recent trip to Melbourne I've decided to answer the question "What is a hipster.. and more importantly, am I one?" once and for all. I've done hours of research on such popular social networking sites as Facebook and Twitter, and this is what some of what I have come up with.

I phrased the question PLS REPLY AND TELL ME WOT U FINK A HIPSTER IZ? on Twitter and the answers included;

spaks@sexykits jordan kirks is a hipster

Neekatron@sexykits a hipster is an ancient japanese mating ritual involving an empty sheep

Geekbeat@sexykits you're a hipster

spaks@sexykits dats hipsta

Thanks for your help guys.

On Facebook I asked "What is a hipster anyway?" and the replies included some girl posting me the wikipedia definition (More on that later) and these;

So, that is two votes for me being a hipster from Twitter AND Facebook. Fuck. Am I one? Most of the ever popular hipster bingos I had already seen are generally New York or London based and really don't apply to a young woman in Perth these days so I feel if I use them for comparison I might be shortchanging it, or myself. Then I checked Aslan's favourite blog (apart from ours) www.hipsterrunoff.com and found one that I thought might be suitable, if Carles didn't take such a heavy irony bath the night before.



My score is looking something like this.


I used to be a party photographer just for free shit, I love Jeremy Scott, in 2007 I real liked to wear Supre text shirts for funs, I own 1 pair of real Wayfarers and 3 pairs of knockoffs (I've now moved onto the Clubmasters), I wear leggings 3 times a week, 2007 was also the year of neon for me, I am friends with tonnes of gheys, I guess James counts as a keut azn, now that I actually have tits I real like to get them out, and I have heaps of alt bros.

Urban Dictionary has a phenomenal amount of entries for the word hipster. I think this one is my favourite.

9.	hipster	378 up, 70 down
	A "hipster" is what "hipsters" call other "hipsters" to detract attention away from their own "hipsterness." A "hipster" was once the word du jour for cool and hip people, but now that its uncool and unhip to be hip and cool, it's what unhip and uncool hip cool people call other hip cool people so that we might not be confused with hip cool people. Cause that would be unhip. Dig?

From all my research the only thing that I have gathered is that the definition of a hipster is a person who would be terribly offended if they were in fact, called a hipster.
So to all you fucks that lean out of your 80s Corollas and scream at me, go ahead. I'm rubber and you're glue and everything you say bounces off me and sticks to you.
