Heard on the Streets of London…

7 pm in Covent Garden, my friend and I were walking to dinner and we heard two guys our age having this brilliant conversation:
Guy 1: So like there is incontinence and continence right?
Guy 2: Right
Guy 1: So continence is when you can’t?
Guy 2: Yeah and incontinence is when you piss all over the place…
And to [...]

Caffeine, Clothes and Crazy…

I really need to stop caffeinating before German classes but who am I kidding? That isn’t going to happen! Anyway my Thursday German lessons are oh-so-much better than the Monday ones. We have this jovial old man teach us on Thursdays and I think he finds most of us very amusing. At least he’s pretending [...]

How does a girl know?

I wrote a while back about The Engineer and how he was someone I was somewhat interested in. Then my opinion started to change and so I pretty much left that option unexplored. Over the summer however, I have started wondering about him again. When I got back from Thailand and before I went to [...]

Dropping like flies..

Had a chat tonight with a very good longtime friend from home. FD Boy.. you may remember him from previous posts. Anyway we’re both getting busier with life and have way less time to chat.. which is actually ok because I need to be more focused on what’s in front of me and less on [...]

Boy oh Boy

They are so frustrating! OK so things with the Engineer are just so.. ugh!
 
To recap… I have now known him for 10 years and while we have been on each other’s radars for that long.. we don’t really know each other. Hence, he invites to visit him in France. This is a swell idea, [...]

Single and.. dealing with it???

This past week I had a conversation with a guy who was trying to describe the floozy woman of his current affections. “Well,” he says, “she’s like you.. she’s 25 and just wants to have fun.”
“I am not twenty-five and just want to have fun,” I corrected him.
It actually bothered me that I give off [...]

So strange how things work in my life these days. So I’m feeling all good about myself as I’m noticing changes in my body and energy levels and just feeling happier. Spring is.. sprunging? springing! and I’ve got a lot of great stuff to look forward to.
Two weekends ago, all I did was cry but [...]

In which I stay up talking way past my bedtime..

A strange development has occurred recently with a guy we’ll call The Engineer.
 
(I forgot to mention this when we were chatting JC and I’m not sure if you know him.. I kinda think not)

Anyway let’s talk about him. So many moons ago, as in 10 years ago, I was lifeguarding full time at [...]

Just sos ya know…

Well I don’t think I’ll be writing confused reflections about Adam anymore. He’s a bad guy. I had some suspicions and they have been confirmed. So I’ll leave it as friendly work flirtation and be ever so grateful it did not progress beyond mild flirtation.
Seriously! Are there any good guys in the world???

Don’t Call Me Baby!

I think I have mentioned several times the fact that I like it when boys use my name. I find it much nicer than most of the lovey dovey pet names. Seeing as my real name has quite a few variations, I find it interesting to hear which one certain people pick. Anyway.. I have [...]

Hmm..oops… hmmm

So yesterday was the Carnivale Parade which meant that drinking began at 12:30pm and went til.. later. It was a good time but a few details are somewhat foggy in my mind. At today’s recap.. MB told me that I admitted to being totally in love with someone. I have no recollection of admiting such [...]

The Set-Up

Anyway while I was milling around trying to look like a sociable “part of the team”.. I was speaking with one of my colleagues (the mentor.. role [...]

Happiness is…

seeing a pic of an X and realizing that he now looks like a rough-livin, old, tired-out, beat-up scruffy guy… while you are pretty sure you look either the same or better since you dated…
Is that bad???

One or the other…

She said to me: “Well either he’s controlling or he’s pleasing. Which one is he? He can’t be both.” I had never thought of it that way before but I think she is right and sadly I think he’s the former.
Actually, I think all of them are. It’s an unfortunate pattern I’ve started to notice.
