The (34 year-old) Girl has stolen another piece of my heart.
The Best Friend of Re-Boyfriend drove the Girl to a barbecue in one of the rare sections of Brooklyn that has escaped gentrification. After eating and talking and drinking, the Girl decided it was time to leave. But first she wanted a cigarette. Standing on the sidewalk (as if BF would let anyone smoke in his shiny new car) she realized she didn’t have a light. She took a quick look around and spotted a group of large men on a nearby stoop, wearing wife beaters and drinking out of paper bags.
The Girl ran off with her halter-top wearing, barely five foot self, to ask them for a light. BF just stared in horror. He realized he would have to defend his woman, something that he does not look forward to, let alone enjoy. And those fuckers were big.
Predictably, the Girl asked “Does anyone have a light?”
Predictably, one man answered “You a sexy little thing, ain’t you? I bet—”
Before he could finish the thought, the Girl pointed at him and said,“You! Shut the fuck up."
He shut the fuck up, probably more out of surprise than intimidation.
"Now, who has a light?”
The Girl got her cigarette lit without further incident and BF told everyone the story, giggling like a schoolgirl.
And, even if BF is not, I am in love.

She shall have a piece of my heart too. That girl is my hero!
Hmm interesting. Hard to hate a girl who talks a man down like that. Quite a quandry you're in now, hate her for coming back, or love her for the person she might be...
Drunken Master -
BF= Best friend of Re-Boyfriend
The Girl = Best friend's uh... never ending one night stand?
In Brooklyn no less.
I suggest playing things like The Girl the next time the urge to manipulate and be a crazy stereotypical female strikes.
Lol. I'm afraid. I think maybe ReBF should be too. She sounds cute and slightly more manly than him. ;-)
Then again, she's probably too harsh for ReBF, so you're probably safe as far as him leaving you for her. Besides, does she have your sense of humor?
Yeah, I'm with Monkey Pants on this one. Is this the never ending one nightstand Girl???? The power of the ciggie.......

Too many initials
So little comprehension...
Come back and clarify things for your faithful commentors please...
For the confused:
Re-Boyfriend's Best Friend/BF is Re-Boyfriend's Best Friend/BF. The 34 year-old girl is the 34-year old girl he slept with.
Re-Boyfriend is referred to as Re-Boyfriend.
The evil (okay, fine, I don't really know if she's evil) ex-girlfriend is referred to as the evil, or just plain old, ex-girlfriend.
Is this seriously complicated? Should I give people names like "Jane"?
damn. if im ever harassed, im going to do that, too, im just going to look the fucker in the eyes, and say (and i quote) "you, shut the fuck up."
I am kind of like everyone else. . . however it sounds like BF's roomies GF or one night and going stand. No way would it be your BF's X Vegan wanna be med student smoking.
LOL. . . she is a firey girl to say the least, but then what smoker boy or girl wouldn't have approached men with bags for a light after a meal.
Ciao
Please don't start calling people Jane.
Yeah, so give her another ten years, and 34 y.o. girl will be pulling up a step and asking them for a swig of whatever they're drinking.
Bets.
As far as names and acronyms go, BF is a bit too like Boy Friend, but only for a second, and then any idiot...
[ahem]
I kinda like ReBo for Re-Boyfriend. How about for Best Friend you use BeFrie; for Never-ending-one-night-stand you could use Neonst.
For Vegan Evil Ex-Girlfriend, how about Vag? Sorta Vegan-hag, and other evokative sorts of things, without calling her something outright obscene, like [CENSORED].
Initials are fine. I do better with that than actual names which will only serve to confuse the crap out of me. Maybe that's because I'm thirty four. Hem hem.
Some of us are pretty ok you know.
Hem hem again. ;)
I am newly in love with this blog again! in one day, I get all caught up on the totally wacked office that this little angel works in and I get a newly re-deiscovered hatred for her shit head boss. And now, I read back one post and get a delicious anecdote of NYC attitude that us red state, yokels can only start to comprehend but thoroughly enjoy, AS WELL as a excellent little girl-loves-girl innuendo! Sweet!
PS: call your characters whatever you want. in fact, chnage their monikers every week or so! making your readers think they know less than they really do is the sign of a great author. it makes you more mysterious ;)

That girl is definately a keeper!
Jesus God. We should crown her and worship her like the demi-goddess she is.
YOU THE BOMB! I think that's awesome!
Damn!
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I am too, and I never ever have lesbotronic moments.
[Say, isn't that the longest one-night stand in the history of mankind?]
Are you getting lesbian??!!!
(I'm a regular reader by the way)
Okay, I'm going out on a limb here: "Wifebeater" = white sleeveless t-shirt?
She's scrappy!
