Satisfaction – Drinking with the boys
Crisis, my life is boring at the bloody moment. I’ve gotten into a comfort zone and I’m having a hell of a difficult time to get out of it again. It has almost been 3 weeks since the last time I went out. Apparently if you do something for 3 weeks it becomes a habit.
The last time I went out was such a high and totally out of my comfort zone, that now it looks like my inner self has decided “this is as good as it gets” and therefore has retreated into solitude. Crisis.
But ladies, if I have to say so myself, it was the ultimate. There is no better feeling than being adored in front of the frog that just wasn’t that into you. I went out all by myself. This is not normal for me, I have to have a wing lady at all times. This time I stood strong, got into my car and decided to make the most of the last weekend in the city I have lived in for the past 10 years. I think unconsciously I did it to prove to myself I would be able to go out alone until I make some new friends where I am now.
Anyways, so there I was, chatting to all the guys The Ass works with. Being adored and complimented by all his buddies. (Yes, they were all terribly drunk, but I never fuck-up a good story with the facts).
Buddy of The Ass: You’re so pretty, will you marry me?
Me: You are married
Buddy of the Ass: But if I weren’t I’d marry you. Hey Ass, do you know this girl? She’s great, you should marry her.
The Ass: (Looking very uncomfortable) Yes, I know her.
Me: (HUGE grin, I didn’t have to say a thing)
Ahhh, bliss. The bastard never wanted me. He’s friends adore me, what’s better than that. I think I can even call it sweet, sweet revenge. I hope he had a huge pang of regret. Okay, I’m finished being a revengeful bitch now.
Rest of the night was a blast. All the boys promised to come and visit me in my new town. Although I know that it won’t happen, it was nice that they made such a fuss over me going away. Needless to say, I didn’t pay for any drinks that night. I was invited to go and visit a frog in America, when he moves there and becomes a cowboy. He said he would pay for everything, I must just promise to come. So I made a promise to the wannabe cowboy, why not. If he was serious I’m off to America!
Change is always scary, and I must say I miss the place and strangely enough all the unreliable, drunk frogs as well. I don’t believe in coincidence, there’s a definite reason that the city girl landed in a small town. At this stage I think it might be to support my Dad, he’s possibly (this time I think, definitely) getting a divorce. With the rest I’ll just have to wait and see…

I'm still alive
No, I haven't been committed to a mental institution, although it just might happen in the not so distant future. I've started a new job on the 2nd of March and went on my first business trip ever on the 4th of March. Only came back on the 11th. So ladies, I've been quite busy and haven't been able to blog in a while. I must say I really miss my blogging sessions and can't wait to delight you with a couple of my crazy ass stories as soon as I have time to breath again. Can't wait to read all of the blogs I'm following, think it's gonna take me quite some time to catch up but at least I'll have some good reading ahead of me!
Until next time, adios amigos ladies!
Until next time, adios amigos ladies!

The medicine to my soul...
"Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body."
~Oliver Wendell Holmes~
Meet my new friend, my pink apple ipod shuffle; isn’t she pretty!
(If you think she’s pretty on the outside, you should hear the inside!)
I just love her, and love her even more because she was sent to me all the way from England by the Damselfly. The Damselfly loaded all my favorite songs and a couple she knew I’d like onto it before she sent it to me. I’m so blessed to have friends like her in my life. She did this when I was going through a rough patch and knew that music is the medicine for my soul. It’s filled with songs that inspire me, songs that let me know that I’m not alone and a couple of dance hits cause she knows I just love dancing!
Friends and Family make life worthwhile, and God has blessed me with wonderful friends and also a great family who really care for me and words can't describe how much I love them.
"The making of friends, who are real friends, is the best token we have of a man's success in life."
~Edward Everett Hale~
I feel very successful today

My Last Obsessive Psycho Post, I Promise
I’ve been ranting and raving the whole week about the Oliver Twist situation and I promise that next week I’ll try to say something relevant, meaningful or profound and it will not be about men or relationships.
I’ve found a flaw in the “He’s just not that into you” movie. They tell you what it means if he doesn’t call but never ever mention what you should do or what it means if he pitches at your door 5 days later.
As I was watching Oprah yesterday, the doorbell rang. I thought it was one of the beggars or salesmen again, so I peaked through the window. And there he was, I was dumbfounded, speechless, the one and only Oliver Twist. I never expected him to come, because the type of guys I’m used to never do what they say they will. Then I realized how absolutely terrible I look! My hair was in all directions, I had a very unflattering outfit on and the house was a complete mess. I immediately remembered my Grannies words: "A lady should always look het best, you never know who you might meet or run into." Well, too late now. So I opened the door and said hi.
I could talk to him forever, he’s fantastic. I haven’t felt this way before, and I don’t know what to do with all these feelings. One thing I do know is that he can’t know about them, that could make a friendship difficult if not impossible.. I totally freaked out when he left, got myself a glass of red wine just to calm down. I don’t want to move to a new town anymore! I’ve wanted to move for the past 2 years and now I want to stay. Go figure, just my luck. Hope I can make the most of the week I have left… and keep this friendship thing going.
I’m so happy today, it’s a wonderful, wonderful life… I'm glad that I was wrong about him and that there are still guys out there who keep their promises.
Here are the Lyrics to one of my favorite songs, thought I'd share. It’s a South African band called The Parlotones. It’s the most heartfelt love song I’ve ever heard.
BABY BE MINE - Parlotones
If I asked you to lay with me
Would you say you are not in the mood?
If I asked you to pray
Would you refuse cause my intentions aren’t any good?
In a world filled with thieves, killers and cheats
Wanting you shouldn’t be a crime
I am not asking for much
All that I am saying is
BABY BE MINE
If I asked you to dance
Would you lie and say you don’t know how?
If I sent you bad poetry
Would your face crease into a frown?
In a world filled with thieves, killer and cheats
Wanting you shouldn’t be a crime
BABY BE MINE
I am not asking for miracles
I am not asking for promises of your hand
All that I am saying is give me a chance
If I picked you wild flowers
Would you say you are not that type of girl?
If I stared at your photo for hours
Would I be weird and out of this world?
A thousand blue blistering barnacles
All that I ask is for a moment with you
BABY BE MINE

HJNTIY
WARNING: I anticipate that this post will include a little bit of cursing.
HJNTIY: The new magic words. He’s just NOT that into you. Fucking genius papa. Yes, you guessed it, I saw the movie last night. And I think all girls, single, longtime boyfriend and married should go see this movie. I’m buying myself the fucking book. (Or at least as soon as I’m in a better financial place, the wedding/roadtrip made a HUGE dent in my budget.)
It all became clear to me last night. My whole dating life I’ve been making excuses for the shitheads I’ve been dating. And it stops now! I’m the rule, not the exception. If he’s not calling it’s not because he’s writing a big exam on Wednesday and doesn’t want to get distracted, it’s because he DOESN’T WANT to call you. If he’s not committing to you, it’s not because he’s come out of a bad relationship and is afraid of commitment; he DOESN’T WANT to commit to you. I know it’s harsh, but we should stop making excuses for them to make ourselves feel better. I’ve done it a hundred times to help a girl friend feel better after she’s been dumped, and my girl friends have done it thousands of times to make me feel better. But it’s actually crueler to do this than to just face reality and move on. I felt a little taken aback at times, in the movie it’s the hard reality. Walking out of the movie, I spotted a couple of girls in tears and my heart went out to them because I knew that they now know that they have been wasting their time. I felt kinda shit as well, I offered friendship to Oliver Twist and he doesn’t even want that. If a guy doesn’t even want your friendship you should really wake up and smell the fucking coffee, I mean really.
So, I’m buying myself that damn book (maybe the movie as well, just to make sure I have it right) and will be using it from now on as my text book to dating. I’ll be saving myself a lot of agony and aggravation if I just stick to the HJNTIY rules. And if HE IS INTO ME I won’t be necessary for me to have to make any excuses for his behavior. I deserve someone that IS INTO ME, we all do.
NEVER LOSE HOPE, he’s out there. I always say my Prince Charming fell of his white horse and is currently residing in ICU, they have to release him at some time right?!
