I think the only way for this to be a proper love triangle is if Yang Jie starts to get a thing for Li Yan.

Ingmar - you make me want to make snide comments about single-sex boarding schools...

See, I never say "I'm hanging out with my girlfriends", because it just sounds weird. "I'm goin' out wif me mates" is more my kind of thing... I love the fact that in one of the first chinese lessons I'd had in about 10 years, I learnt "I don't have a boyfriend". But even then, the teacher asked the german dude if he had a girlfriend (女朋友 not 女的朋友) and he said he had lots, and no one sniggered...

Does 女朋友 also mean "friend who is female"?

Ha, I'm loving it: just downloaded the "Elementry - Shut Up" pod literally a couple of minutes ago (二分钟?), so I reckon this 250 insult will be burned into my memory, as with all the other memorable rude phrases that I've come across so far...

Is there much difference in meaning between wo3 jiu4shi4 and just wo3 shi4? Or are they essentially interchangeable?

This phrase never came up when I used to learn chinese as a kid! It would have made lessons far more interesting...
