Sinister: Sentimental fools

Pedro complained that his emotional reaction to "The State That I am In" got 
the following response from a female friend:  "you and your emotions. You're 
just a sentimental fool! Life isn't poetry, you know?".  

Maybe she was just living the songs: "Belle and Sebastian" has a couplet that 
goes:

"He wants to love and he wants to care
But when the girls hear that they think he's so square."

If it's a choice between "Dog" or the female friend, maybe the best advice is 
on "Century of Fakirs": 

"If you ever get lardy or go lame
I will drop you straight away,
That's the price you have to pay 
For all the stupid things you say".

So try to keep both for the time being; then drop whichever goes lardy or lame 
first. :-)
