Hysterical!

Check out the blog I've discovered: To Do: 1. Get Hobby, 2. Floss . This girl is so hilarious - I almost peed my pants reading her blog (and that hasn't happened to me since I was 2 y.o., mind you)!

Saturday night

Well, Saturday night was a blast! Needless to say, we never even made it into any of the bars during the pub crawl. We didn't get downtown till about 11pm and each bar had a line of about 200 people! We ended up going to one of the pool halls nearby but we had a blast!
I am still recovering today! Why do the hangovers last so long when you get older?!

By the way, I did something stupid while I was drunk that night: I made out with one of my new friends N. (he introduced me to a whole bunch of people who I'd like to stay friends with but have no intentions of dating N. and I think he is counting on that...) I hope I can find my way out of this one... Don't want to loose all of these new friends I just acquired...

Spooktacular!

It's official! I have decided on a costume. Halloween Pub Crawl is the biggest night of the year as far as the nightlife goes around here, so I've been under a lot of pressure trying to figure out what I am going to go as. I wanted to be something super sexy (what other night you can dress up very slutty and get away with it)! I dug through millions of costumes: naughty nurses, French maids, pirates, playboy bunnies and other "any male fantasy staples"... none of them seemed fun and original... The final verdict: "half angel, half devil", not sure of what to call it yet but it's going to be cool. I have a white and red dress (the white half is very angelic and the red part is very devilish), I also have a hair piece with red horns and a halo and wings (one white, one red), oh, not to mention the red tail :-) Love it! I need to lose about 2 lbs in the next two days to make it fit perfectly but that's a minor detail...

To tell you the truth, I am not sure who I am going out with on Saturday but I missed out on dressing up and going out for the last 3 Halloweens, not letting it happen this year! Even if I have to go by myself!

Can you tell I am excited? :-)

Oops

Ok, I admit it. I slipped up. I went out with Andy (ex-boyfriend) on Thur. night. I shouldn't have but I was so bored and he texted me and told me what bar him and his friends were at and asked me to join them. We had a few drinks, watched the baseball game and chatted. I went home all by myself though! Proud of it :-).

Andy and I have a very strange relationship. I don't know what to think of it. I know he is not "the one" but we have such a good time when we are together that I can't give him up. I think he was seriously in love with me when we first met, we talked every day and spent just about every night together but then something snapped and he disappeared for 2 weeks. When he tried to pick up where we left off two weeks later, I dumped him. We didn't see each other or talk for about 3 months, then, we started running into each other here and there. We've been sort of "dating"for the last couple of months but I wouldn't call it "dating" any more...

I am just thinking out loud here. Not sure what to do with him...

P.S. Angel, thanks for trying to help me with my computer.

Any Computer Experts Out There?

I need help! I got a new laptop and it doesn't let me access certain password-protected sites (including "Blogger"), so I can't blog from home. All of the "help" menus tell me to enable cookies, which I did but it still didn't help. What do I do if my browser doesn't support enabling cookies? Any ideas? I would appreciate any help.

I am trying to get out of work early today, so I can do some shopping. I am planning on going out with some new friends that I found. We'll see how that goes. Then, I am off to my sister's for the weekend to celebrate my niece's 3rd birthday. Should be a lot of fun.

Have a great weekend!

Quick Note

I am crazy busy at work today. Just wanted to note that ever since I posted the open letter yesterday, two of the guys I was addressing tried to call and text me. I haven't heard from either one of them in 2-3 weeks. How funny is that! It was pretty easy to ignore them because I am so busy this week and have the upcoming weekend jam-packed with activities. I'll try to be that strong when I have nothing to do on a Sat. or Fri night... Baby steps :-)

Gotta run. Might add something later.

Open letter to all of my ex-boyfriends, "match.com buddies" and random guys that decide to call me on occasion.

Dear all,
I admit it. I jump up and down when one of you calls me or texts me on a Friday night when I am not doing anything. Not that I am that into you but I am bored and your phone call might just be my way out of the house for the evening. Then, we have a good time and I think that maybe, just maybe something will come out of it... and you disappear for a couple of weeks or months until you think of me again. And what do I do? I answer the phone again!

Well, this is going to stop. Do not call me, text me or email me any more. If you do, don't expect me to answer. All this does is make me doubt myself every time things don't go right. You make me feel like I am not good enough for anything more than what you give me. I deserve better so I am starting over!

I am not going to let anyone treat me like crap any more. If you don't like it you can go ... well, you know where.

Have a good life!
Sincerely,
Girlie Monkey

Annoyed

First of all, I have to say that I am very annoyed! I discovered today that 4 blogs that I normally start my day with reading, decided to go "private" and I no longer have access to them. Since I am not a Spaces member, I don't get to be added as "friends". Several bloggers that went private said it was done in order to protect themselves. Well, I understand that but there are other ways to ensure your privacy. For example, that is precisely the reason I don't post my picture on here. Anyway, of course, it's none of my business what they do with their blogs but I am going to have to find me some new interesting blogs to read.

My weekend was fine. I had a good time with Mom, sis and niece. Sis and I went out on Friday and had a blast downtown. I met a guy, named Doug (you might here more about him if he calls). I also got several interesting propositions, such as, this bartender at my favorite bar who always flirts with me (but never gives me free drinks, nonetheless :-) asked me if I wanted "to go have sex with him" WTF? He doesn't even know my name! Does that direct line really work on anyone?

Other than that, I did absolutely nothing over the weekend. Mostly stayed on the couch watching TV.

By the way, DM, to respond to your comment: unfortunately, I can't say that I've ever loved the job I am in. It's been over a year since I started and my feelings about it haven't changed. At first, I thought that I was just missing my old job and was going through the adjustment process. Well, it never went away. I still miss my previous job and all of the people I worked with. There is no going back though, so I'll just have to come to terms with it.

Happy Monday!

Mourning the Summer

I've had no inspiration for blogging lately, for some reason. I just can't come up with anything good to write about. It probably has something to do with the fact that I am unhappy with my life.

• I like my job but I don't love it. It's important to me. The last job I had was a lot more stressful but I still woke up every morning with a huge grin on my face and couldn't wait to go to work. Now... well, now I count hours before I can get out of here every day.
• I am usually very content to be alone but as the holiday season gets closer and the weather gets cooler, I can't help but feel lonely. I wish I could have someone to cuddle up on the couch with on a rainy night, I wish I had a big loud family to celebrate the holidays with...
• I do have some great friends that have nearly replaced that big loud family for me but they all live at least 3 hours away. I would not be so lonely if I had a couple of good friends around here but that's not the case so far...

I don't know why I am so blue today. It must be the nasty weather outside.

My Mom is coming to visit today for 3 days. I am hoping to have some good bonding time with her, no fights!

Well, the weekend was full of excitement as anticipated...not! It was actually nice and relaxing, I didn't do anything too crazy but got a lot of stuff done around the house. And I only picked my nose for a couple of hours! Ha-ha!

I talked to Jason some more over the weekend (the one that lives 3 hours away). He seems to be serious about coming down here to visit me for a weekend soon. I am not sure what to expect from our "relationship". We've been talking on the phone for over 2 months now. First of all, I know that nothing can replace the face-to-face interaction and my impression of him can be way off but he might just be the perfect guy for me (emphasis on "for me"; he is definitely not perfect). I also understand that LDRs are difficult to manage but is this a good enough reason not to pursue something that may potentially turn out to be good?

I've been burnt so many times that I lost count but I just can't loose all hope completely. Not yet anyway :-)

Just another boring weekend

Well, it looks like it's going to be a really boring weekend (remember my "wave theory"?) I have absolutely no plans! None! I can't even go shopping because I am broke till the next paycheck!
All of my "boyfriends" that could have been a possibility are gone for the weekend.

I did talk to Jason last night (the guy that called me last Friday after disappearing for a few weeks). Surprisingly, he was excited to hear from me and even tried to make plans to come down to visit. (I've never met him in person but we talked on the phone just about every night for about a month). That kind of caught me off guard but I would really love to meet him. He can't do it this weekend though and I have things going on for the next three (there is a possibility next weekend though, so we'll see).

I also talked to Dan, a guy from match.com, yesterday but instead of asking me out he told me he would really love to talk to me more soon... whatever.

My neighbor Rick and Andy, the ex-boyfriend, are out of town and Bob hasn't called since I told him last Friday I couldn't meet him (he texted me at 11:30pm to see if I wanted to come hang out at his house after the bars closed! Did he really think I was waiting for him the whole night!).

anyhow. I'll try to fill my weekend with lots of cleaning and organizing closets so I don't have to pick my nose for 2 days straight!

Have a great weekend

Just another Tuesday

Not much to report here. I am so behind at work, it's not even funny! Just when I think I am starting to see the bottom of my piles, more stuff gets dumped on me! Not that I am complaining, but I feel like I am doing the silly mundane work that could be done by a monkey way too much. If I at least had a part-time helper to do these tasks for me, I would have been able to be a lot more creative, innovative and profitable for my company.

Oh well. My "boyfriends" are being quite which works well for me since I've been so busy.

Off to a boring meeting.
salute!

Weekend update

Ok, I just have to add to my previous post because my Friday got even funnier or weirder :-)

After I got off work that day, the following people contacted me:

• Dan, whom I met on match.com a few weeks ago and communicated via email, decided to call me to see what was going on this weekend,
• Ryan, whom I talked about in the past (the useless, super good looking guy) texted me to see if I was in town (I haven't heard from him in about a month!)
• Andy, kept texting and calling me the whole night wanting to get together,
• And Jason, another guy from match.com whom I had an intense phone relationship for a while which abruptly ended a few weeks ago, decided to call me on Friday as well!

I don't believe in astrology but I am convinced that Gemini (my sign) entered some sort of a moon phase on Friday. No other explanation.

I ended up going out with my neighbor Rick that night and ignored all of the other suitors since they haven't exactly treated me well in the past. Had a great time and it felt good not to have to sit at home and wait for one of those former flames to call me.

My sister, mom and niece came on Saturday and hung out with me. Sister and I ended up going out again on a Sat. night for a little girl's night out. Mom and I ended up getting into a fight on Sunday which left us both crying but we've since made up, so all in all it was a great weekend.
