You know you're a regular when....

You show up to your favourite brunch spot that overlooking the water and the manager comes over to seat you and says "oh, you don't need a menu do you?"

serves me right for being sucha creature of habit!

The simple things

Maybe its a sign of how uneventful my life is these days that I notice this - but one small move of a lamp from one bedside table to another has made all the difference in ambience in my bedroom.

A small thing, a simple thing, but a nice thing.

And it didn't even cost me a thing!


Okay - on re-reading this, it sounds like I really need to get a life - but honestly, life's finally feeling okay these days.

Happiness in the small things. Its all good...

The things that get me in trouble....

Apparently my sense of humour doesn't always go over well...

Wonder how much trouble I'm actually in.

Let's hope good sense prevails!!!

Return to Venus

Not that I follow horoscopes or anything, but apparently my sign is returning to Venus.

Its all about how I'm going to be really attractive - in that I'll attract people. Apparently my looks will improve - but it may be at the expense of my pocketbook....

So my question is, how much damage am I actually going to do?
Buy some new clothes?
Buy a whole new wardrobe?
Or go the whole hog and invest in some plastic surgery????

Hmm. Don't know yet - but I am looking forward to meeting whomever it is I'm suppose to be attracting.

Fingers crossed!

Another reason to hate Facebook...

So a friend sends me an invite to take a quiz on what I should do with my life.


I figure - what the harm?


My results: best at everything.

Best at everything?? What kind of answer is that??????

More details:

You are the social person who makes useful contacts. You introduce
important people to influencial people and always reap some sort of reward as a
result... but you dont enjoy the spotlight as much. You prefer to stay in the
back as there is more room to stretch and you like the feeling that you are the
one with the power and most of the time that is true... You will do well in
almost any field. You know how to flatter without being too obvious and you can
make just about anyone like you!

What the??

Studying Sucks

Need I say more???

Babe

Long story short?

I was out the other day and this guy called me 'Babe' in that possessive way that suggested I was his girlfriend.

It was only a joke (and it was very funny - but by the time I finish explaining it to you - if you're still awake - it probably won't be funny....) but...

it still made me feel good.

It's been so long since someone was possessively affectionate.
Forgot how much I missed that.

My Ferry Friend

When you travel the same ferry every day to and from work - you end up with ferry friends: people you see every day, you say hello, maybe even talk about the weather - yet, you hardly ever know their names despite having enacted this ritual for years.

I have a 5 minute friend. We joke about it. We talk for the 5 minutes it takes us to get off the ferry and walk out of the terminal - at which point we walk our own ways. In reality - we're probably more like 3 minute friends. The other day, I randomly ended up beside him on the ferry - and after 30 seconds, he turned to his paper and I turned to my studying - because there was no way we'd be able to sustain a 20 minute conversation. 5 would have been pushing it - however, we did manage the 3 minute chat once disembarking again.

Then the other day I ran into one of my other ferry friends. Again, I ended up randomly beside him - actually had to ask him to let me in the row. Didn't realise it was him until he looked up - so said hello. Talked about the weather, and the again, read the paper kind of stuff. And today it happened again and I was so surprised it was him when he looked up that I blurted out "You again!"

He laughed and then suggested that running into each other like this was a sign that I was stalking him. That early in the morning its pretty hard to generate any energy for an inflammatory remark - even one like that, so all I could summon up in response was "Yeah", latent with dry sarcasm.

He laughed as he moved for me to sit down and then added, "Well, that would be fair enough considering I stalked you all last year."

Hmmm.

I told him that I'd been too tired and hadn't noticed. Then he turned to his paper and I turned to my studying.

Nothing like a little flirting to start the day!!

I really like my ferry friends - even if I don't know their names.

Awesome!

How to tell if you're in Canada?

Everybody uses the word 'awesome'.

A LOT

Change is in the air

I don't know what it is (and I'm not blaming it on the global financial crisis - aka 'gfc' - kay, small tangent - isn't it unbelievable that newscasters have actually turned the state of the economy into an acronym? An acronym? Seriously, what is this world coming to...)

Wow - I'm going to have to start that sentence again...

I don't know what it is, but the change in the air is almost palpable. You know how you can feel the wet before the rain? Well ladies and gentlement, change is coming in my little world.

Not sure yet what form its going to take - but my prediction has been made! Will report back when it happens....
