My Life in Progress

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.
