Velcro™ Break-ups are when you split with your boyfriend, whine constantly to all your friends about it for two months, and then get back together as if nothing ever happened. My friend Ursula says doing this once is just fine; twice and everyone starts to lose interest; three times and it gets really boring.
But Bjarni and I are back together and I am totally, utterly over the moon about it.

Oh you didn't whine that much. How many is it now? I've lost count.
ReplyDeleteDamn, I'm so jealous! I want a boyfriend so I can have Velcro Break-ups. Instead of just break-ups.
Ah - Velcro break-ups - nice terminology.
ReplyDeleteI used to have some friends like that. Every 6 months you'd spend an interminable evening in the pub with one or other of them after another split (and this time it's final) consoling and reassuring that it's all for the best. Then they'd fucking get back together the next week.
They're happily married with a sprog now.
Boom and bust. It's relationship-economics. I'm told eventually it all evens itself out and then it's all boom with none of the busting.
ReplyDeleteHamingjuóskir.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how to pronounce that. But I mean it. At least I hope I do, my slow and painful navigation of Icelandic websites produced that word. Some words were similar to Swedish, so one word in about 1000, I understood.
The "Velcro" phrase was coined by Barbara Ellen, originally, I think. I mustn't take credit for it.
ReplyDeleteAnd Curly, takk! I think you mean, "Til hamingju", but I could be wrong, my Icelandic is crap.
Well, if you're over the moon, that's the main thing. It's ace to be happy.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, 3 break-ups is nothing. I was once in a relationship where we broke up (and got back together) an average of about once every fortnight for 7 months straight.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm very happy for the two of you, and not in the least bit surprised that you're back together! You're obviously both crap at being apart, so don't do it again!
"Hamingjuóskir" is fine, if a little formal for everyday use.
ReplyDeleteOkei, takk takk.
ReplyDeleteÉg er svo hamingjusöm.
