My Private Thoughts
Thinking Allowed

OMG WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!

I recently had an email from a friend lamenting my disappearance. It sorta coincided with the fact I’d disappeared online too. I wasn’t logging into my Facebook account (not that I was active) and I wasn’t answering emails.

The reason is because I met someone the last couple of weeks. He was nice and within a couple of days, he even gave me some silver jewelry from a trip he made somewhere. I thought it was sweet.

Until I happened to be at his apartment one day while waiting for him to get ready for a midnight movie. Turns out the silver bracelet was just one of many he was handing around willy nilly to any number of girls. So much for that! So, I’m back to the online world where I think things are just less complicate than what they are in real life.

As for Casanova, he wasn’t all that crushed when I confronted him. Makes you wonder if he was just hoping he’d get found out.

I was chatting to my friend alli on Gtalk about Mr. Poodle Treats yesterday and I could hear her virtual laughter all the way from halfway across the world. Believe me when I say that Alli has a really loud laugh.

She said he probably loves his dog above himself and you know what? I think she might be right. Sigh…That said, there was no chemistry anyway. We were like chalk and cheese – we could talk but only about the most mundane of topics.

You know when they say not to date people within the same industry so you don’t get bored? They were right.

In the midst of all the Christmas good cheer, let me just rant a little about a date I recently had just before Xmas. I met a friend’s ex-colleague (complicated?) and after chatting over lunch for about half an hour, he started talking about engagement rings and what he would get for the girl he wanted to marry.

OMG! Scared me silly! I mean, I’m not commitment phobic, but heck! I’d just met him and here he was talking about engagement rings. I might have been happy if I’d liked him, but I found him a little too intense and maybe just a tad too religious. I’m not overly religious so I can’t quite relate to those who are.

Scary wot?

It wasn’t a true disaster really.

I had a headache so I wasn’t exactly Ms. Bubbly Personality myself. But there were a few things that grated on my nerves even as we chatted.

• Making noise while chewing – OMG major turn off. I cannot stand people who make noise when they eat. The smacking sound really drives me nuts.
• saying “blah blah blah” all the time tells me that you don’t have much to say at all

Also he was rather effeminate which I found slightly puzzling.

All in all, it wasn’t a disaster, but I don’t quite intend for there to be another.

Back to the drawing board!
