    as a sidenote, i didn't object to the couple making out for moral reasons, it was just that the girl was a nectar, and i was jealous...

    ha! a few more acutely bitter observations about happy people would really flesh out your character ;) I've just finished Michel Houellebecq's Platform and it's full of such choice insights into the fetish of boredom as:

    "I liked holiday brochures, their abstraction, their way of condensing the places of the world into a limited sequence of possible pleasures and fares; I was particularly fond of the star-ratings system, which indicated the intensity of the pleasure one was entitled to hope for. I wasn't happy, but I valued happiness and continued to aspire to it."
