OK, so I know that I haven’t been on here for a while – part of it, completely forgetting that I had a blog, and the other spending most of my time on facebook.
Still…a lot has happened since then – it’s really amazing how much things can change in a year.
Then again, I now have a new collection of life lessons – OK so some of them, I feel like I wish didn’t happen as they put me through a lot of trouble, but I’m glad I experienced them just the same.

I’ve been having wake-up calls a lot for the last couple of weeks. At least my life isn’t boring or slow.
1) Even if a girl is best friends with a guy, and they hang out a lot – people automatically assume they are dating (even if you feel that the people thinking that should already know you better than that)
2) When most of the girls you know all have boyfriends, it hits you more and more often how much you’d like to have a boyfriend of your own.
3) Faced with the traumatic stories of relationship woes from girlfriends, I have realised that my ideal relationship is based on being with someone whose personality is compatible with mine. I actually have a pretty good idea of certain basic points.

Like my realisation after a while that the guy I’ve thought was gorgeous for ages was not for me, I also know now that it actually is possible to be ‘too nice’ to be attractive.

New policy regarding the stuff in my life – do not purchase the item until I’m sure that the alternative is already available and that I completely LOVE the item, not just because it’s on sale or that it’s the best alternative to what I really wanted at the time.

My taste in the things I like and wear is heavily affected by the shows I’m watching.

I realise now why I kept the music video of ‘party people’ with Nelly and Fergie for so long – it’s more due to the fact that Fergie looks so glamorous in the video despite having multiple piercings in each ear – an issue that I now feel that I have.

Bridget Jones Blues
Since i got home from uni, things have been pretty funny at home. i'm almost 20, so my family have started bugging me about getting myself a boyfriend at uni.
it's an interesting situation to be in, as i've wondered what it felt like to be put on the spot like that. it's pretty uncomfortable for me as i'm not really comfortable with the idea of being in a relationship - mainly through watching how my friends act trying to maintain long-distance relationships, and acting all hussy when it turns out that the guy in question has either not contacted them in a long time, or not phoned when he said he would. it seems so strange to me, to have ur happiness depend upon the behaviour of another human being.
it led to a pretty funny conversation between me and my brother though...
Me: OK, how would u feel if i really did get myself a boyfriend and brought him home to meet u? u do know that if i do have a boyfriend i'll be doing all sorts of couply things with him, you know? like kissing, marriage and kids?
my brother: No! i find it really hard to imagine you married, and i don't feel i'm ready to be an uncle. maybe u should wait another ten years before getting yourself a boyfriend?
funny statement or what? he's stopped asking me why i haven't got a boyfriend since that exchange. of course, the reply from him was pretty much what i'd expected seeing as he's only 11.
how do most people react when they are put on the spot like that?
still, seeing as my parents hate homosexual people - for reasons that i can never understand - it seems like they've handed me a perfect way to give both of them a heart attack. not that i ever would, mind you, but it is kinda interesting imagining their reactions if i ever uttered the phrase that both of them hope never to hear!
