Buggering badgers on a stick. It’s time I start dating. Considering that even the biggest womaniser I know is now in a relationship and almost certainly in maybe-love, and CC is long since a goner, that leaves me with a dwindling supply of single friends. And frankly, I want a Waking Life connection. I don’t [...]

I’ve been dumped*. Ok, this perhaps needs a bit of explaining :). The Lovely Redheaded Photographer and I attempted “dating”. He is one kickass guy and hopefully still part of the elitist friend group I have going.  I told him a while ago he deserves the genuine “kicked in the stomach but in a good [...]

So I saw the Lovely Redheaded Photographer again last night and we had yet another of those talks.  Prompted by what seems to be a newly acquired inability to lie, I had to explain to him where we stood. I had to do this because I told El the Legend that I wanted to see [...]

I’ve been reading a LOT. And am no longer in possession of the laptop. These two statements are pretty irrevocably interlinked btw. Sigh. Posts will therefore be intermittent in a good week and frankly scarce in a busy one. While driving to work this morning I was thinking about love & starch (as you do [...]

Before Sunset – Julie Delphy If you have not yet seen this movie or more honestly both of these movies, you are losing a vital part of life to apathy.

Ah. When dissapointment in maybe-love and hangovers inevitably occur (very similar states really with quite a lot in common and almost always coupled*) most everyone has remedies. Mine are as follows: Dissapointment in maybe-love: >1 of the Before Sunrise/Sunset movies  – check – I could only find Before Sunset. Which is probably worse because in [...]

Well. I went on my first date in ages last night and it was lovely. We actually had stuff to talk about, we even skipped the movie to continue talking. When he laughed his eyes crinkled and he had this completely feral sexy-as-all-hell smile that makes me shiver right down to my toes. So there [...]

It’s amazing how my patchy memory makes ghosts of people. Only to have those ghosts gently grip my wrist and in no uncertain terms remind me that they are vital and powerful and have not conveniently forgotten as I have. I was in the throws of what I now know is a quarter life crisis, [...]

Well. I am a bit of a mess right now. Not a /wrist type mess. More of an oh-hell-now-what tangled string buggerup. I kissed a guy and I liked it*. I certainly did not plan for it, flirting sure, but then again I flirt with inanimate objects if there are no animate ones around so [...]

Well, this sucks. As in love with you as I might have been, and that dream notwithstanding, my heart never beat faster at the thought of your touch. I knew it would not happen so I didn’t even consider it. My love for you was “pure”. I was the knight and you the chalice* and [...]
