In a bit of a bind

I had an awesome weekend. You know, one of those filled with lots and lots of…how do I keep this PG….erm, candy. It all started when I invited a certain miss K over for dinner on Friday night. Next thing we knew, it was Sunday afternoon and we were having breakfast in bed. I’m sitting in my office now grinning like an idiot consumed by thoughts of what went down (literally) last weekend. I need to purse my lips in a monumental display of self-restraint to avoid going into an explicit narrative every time someone asks me how my weekend was.

She's at least at least 6 years younger than me (or I?), but what a cutie. She’s hilarious, a major plus in my book; an insatiable hot-blooded tigress.

It's not all roses though. There’s just one itsy bitsy problem I conveniently ignored the whole weekend. To me, this is all just an entertaining anecdote to, for the most part, a lacklustre week. But it was obvious from the heart dangling off her sleeve, she wants more.

She looks and acts young. I mean ‘just hatched’ young. Her favourite musicians? Britney and N’Sync. In our severely intoxicated state we spent a good deal of time being shattered that Britney broke up with Justin. I’d rather donate my entire future income to preserve the blood sucking anopheles mosquito that plagues my every evening than talk about who those two are shagging these days.
But anyway, I indulged her.
I glossed over the fact that her dream destination is Disneyland (I’m thinking hell, who doesn’t like Disneyland, right?). I dig cartoons too, so no biggie there either, and well, the word ‘like’ has been known to make a home for itself when randomly infused into any part of a sentence: we were like there, and it was like so cold. And I was like “its cold” and she was like “yeah”. I even overlooked the Swatch watch - you know the one: colourful, plastic with the Mickey Mouse hour hand. But that’s all superficial right? Afterall it’s the hotness heart that counts…and she has a good heart, great personality and is very funny. And hot.

But I draw the line on the needy act. I will happily use a pair of tweezers to uproot every single pube from my Triangle of Joy than put up with a clingy person in love.

According to some online personality test, I suffer from the little known 'schizoid' personality disorder:

"People with schizoid personality disorder avoid relationships and do not show much emotion
(Man U nailed Chelsea's blue ass to the curb over the weekend. Did you not see that emotion?? )
Schizoids genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity.
(Alone. I vant to be alone. Too true).
They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact. (No wonder I hate my job)
Their social skills are often weak (Oi!) and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance. They are perceived by others as humorless (fine, I admit -my jokes are lame.) and distant and often are termed "loners." (yip). "

So thats me.
Schizoid meets clingy. Not good.

*Sigh*. It's been fun. Its going to seem like I used her, but I have to end this now. I will call her up tonight and find nice gentle words to tell her to take my number off the “call every hour on the hour” button and pray that all I hear is a series of four letter expletives, or better yet a slamming phone rather than a strained silence interrupted by the shrill *crack* of a breaking heart.

ROFLMAO! Thanks, I so like needed that laugh.

Like OMG, I can't believe you were like wasting time talking about Britney and Justin instead of shagging. Like who gives a crap.

Okay dude, lose the euphemisms. Where is the explicit narrative? I want the X-rated version, dammit. How old is she, like 15? Your age is a mystery to me hence I can't do the math.

Umbrage is taken at your pejorative view of Swatches. I like still own five of them. Then again, I freely admit that my inner 12-year-old is still at large. :)

Isn't having your own place great? I forsee lots more candy in the near future.

Paris

I must be missing something because I just don’t seem to get it. Try as I may to partake in the globally shared revulsion for Paris, I’m just not feeling it. I stumbled on yet another blog where the author feels the world would a better place if she was ‘shot into space and left there to die a slow and painful death’. So this begs the question: Why does everyone rag on Paris Hilton? - Could it be her sense of style? No she didint! Is that… *gasp*… the same dress she wore to that thing at that place last month!?! Not only is it REPEATED but also hopelessly OUTDATED! Holy MotherofGod, this must be the end of the world as we know it. So the fluorescent pink top does not go with the lime green mini skirt. Infact it couldn’t possibly go with any colour known to man. Boo-freaking-hoo. Let's line up the firing squad. - Maybe because she’s rich? Selfish bitch. Why didn’t she do the right thing and politely decline her inheritance: No thank you daddy. I would much rather spend my entire lif...

Life in the mad house

My Auntie dearest must have been suffering from temporary insanity when in a moment of weakness she agreed (!?!?!) to have every single cousin, second cousin, and cousin's friend we know (or don't know) come spend a week or two with us. This means I’m now sardined with 11 kids between the ages of 10 months and 14 years in a tiny three-bedroom apartment (four really, but one is used as a storeroom). There is always someone in the fridge and grocery shopping is a joke coz these kids throw down (eat) like there's no tomorrow. 8 baguettes, 6 litres of milk, 20 eggs. Every. Goddamned. Day. And that’s just breakfast. The crying, the biting, the fighting, the screeching - my ears have threatened to find a new body. So I get home from work, change into something more comfortable and just go loiter at a friend's till I know the little boogers are snoring in their beds. Yesterday, I came back after 11 and 10 of them were still awake, still running about and still fucking screec...

The dawn of a new era

Nah. Nothing that dramatic. Same ol' me will be doing the same ol' shit. Unless Monday is considered a 'new era'. Nevertheless, there will be one or two improvements around here. For one: Drumroll please, coz: TODAY IS THE DAY I QUIT SMOKING . Yup. Rip off the gas mask and take huge whiff of me as you hum to Kool & the Gang's " she's fresh she's so fresh ..." My fingers WILL twitch, I WILL develop a nervous jerk in withdrawal, but I WILL resist. To the 'quit somking' industry: if you think you're getting a penny off me with your pills, patches, sprays, gums etc, etc...you can pucker up coz you'll be meeting my ass. There's only 1 drug i need, and thats Determination. The reason I'm really driven to quit is i can see how its affecting my health. I used to be so active. I was an athlete. Ok i was 10 and won the potato sack race, but still, I was an athlete dammit. And now i can't even bend over to pick up something i d...
