11.23.04 (6:55 am)   [edit]
See the above quote thats the kind of love i want to find one day. Dunno if i will as i just keeping meeting bad man after bad man, playa after playa. But nevertheless wouldnt it be cool to have a guy who loved you enougth to say that?

In reality the above quote was said on The OC by a middleaged guy who has yet to realise that his (also middle aged) fiancee recently hooked up with an 18 year old! I guess that proves such a thing can be confined to Disney movies and Rom coms.

As for me i may be going on another date this week. Wonder if i'll make it to the second date this time? I can attract them but i sure can't keep them! Oh well certainly makes for more stories to tell my friends as we recite our latest men disasters and argue over who will end up being a spinster!

 
Body Combat... Combats almost everything!
11.17.04 (9:27 am)   [edit]
Just got back from my body combat class only been twice but so far I LOVE IT! Its such a stress booster and boy do i always need that on wednesday for some reason. Last wednesday the realisation that despite what Anna thought, i was right Ewen was not gonna call me... as he'd said we'd do something mid week - meanless words. well the body combat conquered my disappointment but did leave me with a little sadness.

This week it was more effective. I sure as needed it given two obnoxious e mails of craig. Dont know what his deal is. I only asked him last week if he wanted to do somehing. He was like next week on sunday im too busy. So i email him this week and its all these nasty insults... no call for it... all i did was say it would be nice to catch up when was he free. All he has is 3rd year uni and thinks life is crazy... im like try having 4th yr uni and and a job... But enougth shit already body combat followed by venting to jaime (we have a mutual venting agreement) has calmed me down enougth to not repeat the cruel shit he said to me... All this crap from a guy i thought was just a friend and i have no attraction for whatsoever...
i mean i expect this crap of a boyfriend or a potential boyfriend but of a friend? Really sucks!
i thought this lack of attraction was mutual... unless hes pissed im dating again and nothing happened between us when we went out for a drink following my return to this country. We were tight with the e mails and stuff the year i was i america.... I told him everything till he got a little judgemental... Thats why im wondering had he hoped sparks would fly on my return to edinburgh? ughhhh i dont think so but our closeness last year despite different continents has sure made me disappointed ive seen him once... This is the guy who says it takes nothing to send a little email to a friend just to say hi... but has attacked me for doing so... twice over... but then im not jenny from nebraska am i?
Ummmm what an asshole....
Another wednesday and another man problem... i guess a guy and a girl caant be just friends for ever...

Thank goodness for body combat... i'll sleep well tonight b4 i have to get up early to go to glasgow tomorrow.
well hears hoping...
hopefully next week i can go to body combat calm
or maybe if that was the case i wouldnt need body combat?!
 
Meeting a prince and Wal Mart withdrawal symptoms... all in a dull days work
11.15.04 (11:14 am)   [edit]
Its weird the people who come into your life even just for a few minutes often when you least expect it. The thing i love and hate most about life at the same time is never knowing where life will take you and how everything can change in a week. It could be something little like meeting a new hot guy whose interested in you. You get that elated high of anticipation knowing your life is different than the week before and loving how it changes, only a week on to be filled with disappointment when he doesn't call. Not that it matters when you put it in perspective because who knows where you will be a week from now, or better still a year from now. I love never knowing who i will meet next and seeing where life takes me. I also hate it cos its not always good news. But i like the fact i don't know where i will be next year nor what i will be doing nor who i will know.

But anyway Today wasn't a particularly exciting day - hey its Monday would you expect anything else?! Well i went to work at my hostessing job at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre - which incidentally i love as i get paid to smile and chat to people. Although i suspect after ive graduated the job maybe past its sell-by date for me as after all do i really want to be a paid walking talking barbie who functions without needing to use an iota of intelligence?! But for now its all good and today was kindof interesting as Prince Edward stopped by to look round the centre and attend a meeting to see if the venue could be suitable for Duke of Edinburgh awards. This bought about much curtseying practice from the older staff - bless them they are so sweet. Though you sure wouldn't catch me curtseying for no royal!!!!

Prince Edward seemed nice though - surprisingly better looking in the flesh (though i still wouldn't!) though very lean. what was interesting though was that despite his large entourage most the people attending the conference of the day randomly titled `Real People Real change' (could be about anything really!) failed to notice him walk through. But then who would expect to see a prince whilst they are attending some boring conference? Makes you wonder though if he'd lost the mercedes, police escorts and large entourage if he could just have a normal life afterall?

Later today i went food shopping boring i know - but it made me realise i may ashamed as i am to admit it have Wal Mart withdrawal symptoms. picking the nearest superstore to where i live - Safeway if you mut know! i spent forever selecting things to buy and totally stocking up. Last year when i was abroad there were foods i missed from good old England (though now ironically i miss some American and French foods!) now they are available in abundance and the purchasing decision is just tremendous. For example take chocolate - hardly any nice chocolate in America - choice Kit Kats / m and ms or Dove - easy. Now return to the Uk and theres like a billion types of dairy milk alone!!!! But anyhow i realised i must have had a location identity crisis when i managed to fill 4 bags full of food (loads of random stuff i may never eat! - never shop on an empty stomach - like am i really gonna eat spicy potato skins?! we'll see) the trouble is i live in a city and i dont drive so i have to cart these bags the 15 minute walk home. Like hello Marie this is not Wal mart there is no Long Islander called Jaime ready to drive u back to Hillside and there isnt even a free bus...

I get back to my apartment block and the door opens and a cute guy holding a bike is standing there. I go to move out the way and the absolute sweetie puts his bike down and is like `hey its ok... you first i know how nice it is when someone opens the door and you are struggling with shopping!' I seriously gotta get to know my neighbours thats like the third cute guy ive seen in my building since i moved in and i havent even seen everyone who lives here. The only problem is who in the city even knows their neighbours? and the stairwells kindof creepy and i live alone so i dont feel like doing door knocking... but im a firm believer in fate and well u never know who you're gonna run into tomorrow for better or worse!!! Watch this space... lol!!!!
