Also, "don't want to do" and "actually entertaining" aren't two sides of any coin. What about "sort of want to do" and "damn challenging"? That describes work and school for me. "Entertaining" is reserved for hobbies, but too much of any hobby gets boring sooner or later. Hobbies don't make good careers except in rare cases... "Get paid to do what you love doing" is misleading. Otherwise we'd all be prostitutes. Did you know <a href="http://www.thestar.com/living/article/452322" rel="nofollow">multitasking makes you stupid?</a> My solution is often to get really wired on coffee and blast away at one thing until I collapse in a heap. I never <em>finish</em> any work that way, but I can get 75% of it done and then move into 'editing' mode, which is a lot easier than staring at a blank page/screen/whatever.

I think some females actually prefer female friends who are what I hate about females and I think it all comes down to for-the-sake-of-having-friends. It takes awhile to find really good friends (female AND MALE) and to filter down to the ones that don't piss you off. I also disagree with this: "but it really doesn’t portray real relationships (sexual or otherwise) at all". You should have coffee with me some time and we'll talk. lol.
