A? B? C?

don't panic... there is no BoyC :)

Things have gone down an acceptive avenue with one Boy, which is great, everything out in the open nice and clear... easy!
So left with one. there has been some texting, he's away this weekend - actually leaving the island, so a perfectly good excuse, and I'm sure we will go out at some point. Apparently he had been "thinking about me" - thinking isn't doing!!

I may be leaving my job soon. as much as I like it here, it's not working out, I'm not selling as much as I should be, or getting as many new customers on board as we need... and despite putting in effort (in my opinion) nothing is happening. Need to talk with the boss first... but i think i am on my way out. I have no idea what I will do... I'd like to stay local... might end up doing a few different part time jobs... who knows? I just hope I can continue to pay my bills!!
You know things are bad when the boss complains about having to buy too much milk... and I only have one cup of coffee a day!

He's just not that into you

I have to admit, sometimes I forget what this blog is for, it's general theme and/or purpose. It was created to have somewhere to bitch & moan about my lack of social life and other such more private angsts.

So

Had a party on friday, and now i feel a bit more comfortable with the term "party" as I had 10 people show up, and only 2 of these were not drinking. Sing star was played through out the evening and things finally wrapped up at about 3am.
Now, I had no expectations of any "hook ups" of any degree, and was mostly expecting to drink, dance, sing and eat nibbles. And i did partake in all of these activities.
things did get a little "high-school" with one of my male friends telling me that "BoyA" was interested in me... although i thought he was interested in one of the other girls, but apparently he had talked to her, then talked to me, and he no longer was interested in her. hmmm ok - lucky i was under the influence really. - this was all relayed through my friend - who was also drinking.
A bit later I'm dancing with BoyA and he snuggles up, and starts kissing me... ok... but he wouldn't let me kiss him... I'm thinking 'bit of a controller?' after a while, his friends start to leave and he gets chased out the door - I think this is fairly funny!!
The next point, I have a chat to my 2 single guy friends and one of them shows interest in one of my new girl friends, so I do the friend thing, and go and ask her what she thinks. Find out, no, she has a lot going on in her life right now, and prefers to be single. Fair enough.
So I convey that to friend who I shall now call "BoyB" who is fine, and I tell him how awesome I think he is, cause he is - I really value him as my friend & he tells me I could do better than BoyA - and somehow we end up kissing! Which was very nice, although I was feeling like a bit of a skank, and he's not really "allowed" to do anything with me (ex-girlfriend thing). So this part was particularly surprising, and also pretty good.

So now? Well, BoyA has texted me, vaguely suggesting to have a 'sober' meeting.. although nothing is set yet. BoyB I haven't heard from.
I'm not going to force anything with either, if something happens, it does, and if it doesn't so be it. Also, due to one of these boys possibly reads this blog, i am not going to say any more.

All the Single people, (all the single people)

WOW!!

i went to a "Singles Cocktail Party" last night. It was pretty cool.
Firstly, i got invited through a facebook club i belong to, and so i thought initially that there were going to be a lot more girls than guys, and i was very unsure of the age bracket that was going to be represented and thought I might only know one or two people, and one of those was a 'waitress' and the other the host. So to stead myself I brought "back up" (not to-go-home-with-if-it-doesn't-work-out-back-up) friend, escape plan, and veto-er.

I invited one of my single friends, who had to decline due to prior commitments, then I invited John, although please don't tell John, cause he thought I invited him over the first person... fragile ego, please don't burst his bubble, he doesn't have many left!!

There was drinks being made, nibbles being passed around. Most of the girls I met and talked with were there for pretty much the same reason as myself... happy with our singledom, but happy to meet new people. I have a hard time relating to women my age who's main focus in life is to find a man and live "happily ever after". It was good to get to know some of these women better after meeting them a couple of times through the 'Crafty-Foxes'.

The guys were all pretty normal too, chatted to a few of them, one of them went to uni at the same time I did, with some people who I was friends with way back then.. that was funny really - small world and all that.
There was one odd guy, but it wasn't til about 2am that i was talking with him and he declared that "All women are evil or stupid" I was sober, and starting to tire... now I wish i had replied "that's an excellent thing to say to 'win friends and influence people'" I couldn't be bothered arguing with him either, i just let him have his wee opinion and moved to the dance floor.
Earlier than this tho, there was some note passing, which was a bit of a dubious thing to be going on, then the boys got together and wrote some notes, and then the girls... it was all a bit high school and no one was telling anyone who wrote what. There was one 'date' that transpired... one guy gave a note with his number and an invite for lunch, so that was cool.

I now have more people to add to my FB and invite to my party - huzzah.
