January Thoughts

January 3, 2006

Well we have now entered what has been annoyingly refered to as "The '06" ... kinda like The OC but cornnier ... oh well.

I survived Christmas, then onto my last days at the office job ... will miss the people, not the job ... and probably the income as well - got cut back 2 more hours at KK - if that sticks I'll be working 20 hours a month ... some people do that in 2 days ....

Made dinner for a friend, and he survived ... might possibly think about having more dinner parties in the future. It was a simple dinner, but fun to prepare. We had our gift exchange and then played Canasta after supper. Also something I'd like to work on in the future - I need to learn how to play more card games.

New Year's Eve I embarked on a new experience. It was my first downtown celebration ... even though it was a house party it counts. Got introduced to a few people that I've heard of and now have the names to go along with it. Had an interesting conversation (or numerous conversations since it lasted all night long) with a former military man ... very intelligent, could listen forever it seems. Some of the highlights from the night ... hmm ... the dessert table - diabetic goes straight for the sweets, the countdown - 15 seconds to get the bottle open "GO!GO!GO!GO!GO!", the swing dancing show, the fireman lift(s), "Which one is hornier?", a mysterious Happy New Year's text message, the walk to St Denis with my newest friend and the sights we saw!

New Year's Day dinner was our predictable fun time. Stocking Stuffer Trivia, the usual conversation and our annul Ramoli game. However, an addition to the family arrived at 11:06PM weighing 7lbs and 5oz!!

Looking back at what I've accomplished throughout 2005 I can't say that I've done much ... however I must admit that I have done nothing that I regret - and that makes it quite a successful year in my opinion. I don't make resolutions ... since most end up broken, however to be able to have another year completed with no regrets could be the best I could ever hope for. Despite some strange things that I have done and experienced and possibly some that I should have not done at all, I still stand by my assessment of a successful year. Let's hope everybody else could have the same!

I've got a freakin' clone in my class ... bandana, eyes, nose ... even some of the same habits ... now do I wish for him to be closer to me next class so as to begin a conversation ... or farther away so as to not be tempted ....

Shoulda kissed him when I had the chance ....

January 7, 2006

Out to Brutopia last night ... got together with some friends I hadn't seen in awhile ... well some in a few days or few weeks, but we all had fun.
A random collision of people ...
"So how does she knows these guys?"
"Well, if they are who I think they are, - the internet."

"Stop making a scene, stop embarassing yourself."
"I'm not making a scene and I'm not embarrased."

Randomness at the bar ... and some good scouting out of those around us - as always ... however no follow throughs ... ;-( And I was cautioned to stop flirting by certain people ... and told that I do it naturally by others. Also sitting on a certain somebody's lap got a raised eyebrow or two ... though I must admit it was really comfy.

Arriving at home I then ended up chatting until 3AM - rehashing about the night and learning some interesting facts. It's nice to know that I can ellicit a certain feeling in sombody else - but how do you explain that it is not mutual?

Phone conversation this afternoon I got to learn a few things as well ... there's a certain chemistry between us that everybody noticed ... and I must admit I actually am loving that fact right now. I'm meant to be with one (or one like him) and not to be with another ... and I've got to keep tabs on a certain somebody for somebody else - I must admit that they are pretty equal in the intelligence category.

I had fun though ... and I'm looking forward to having some more fun with some of the same people in similar situations ... now only if I'm able to organize a random collision of people once again (and I must admit that I owe a certain epileptic penguin for that catch phrase ... thanks).

What did I forget to mention about the Brutopia night? ... oh right - Speed Dating ... just for fun of course!

Interesting offer was extended last night ... "Want to go to Ottawa?" ... actually an overnight 14 hour drive to Ottawa and back does sound like lots of fun. Think of all the great things that could happen - bringing tons of CDs to listen to, plenty of car games, a little bit of Q&A, possibly sleeping in his lap, breakfast together, and possibly lunch. He did say once that he'd like for me to spend the whole night with him. Why not in a truck for 14 hours making deliveries?

Your Dating Purity Score: 70%

You are an under-experienced dater. This doesn't mean you're unexperienced - far from it. It just means that there's a lot of romance left to discover!

Your Seduction Style: Au Natural

You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it. That's because you're a natural at seduction. You don't realize your power! The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism. You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world. Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in. You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you? You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways. Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you. As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.

For something like what's going on right now to actually work I must remain distant and not become too attached. Things will continue fine as long as this is possible. Otherwise things will be complicated. However, knowing the way things go with my life, complicated is something to look out for since it most probably is inevitable. I've already fooled around with him once, it was great, and I'd love to experience it once again. The extend of that want for a repeat experience is worrisome.

Just when I thought he disappeared off the face of the earth, he re-appears. I've got my clone, my Second Cup guy, and my cuddle buddy. That should be enough to fill a few satisfying dreams at night.

In the book they play around with "just being friends" while they go out on "dates" and fool around, and "pretend" to be lovers ... and then he helps her try and have a baby since she's single and alone ... Lord help me if I ever get to that point in my life.
