Yay, I have a boyfriend!!  And I have already met his mum :)

My luck has turned!

I've been neglecting LJ!

Sorry :(

It's just... um... well... I've been spending a bit of time with the guy I've mentioned I've been on dates with :)

I'm not getting excited, I'm trying not to over think it, but it's going well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like him, and we are getting along great.  The one downside - my flatmates.  One of them last night kept saying things to him, like "since you're becoming a permanent fixture round here..." - is it fair of me to feel a bit intimidated by the phrase "permanent fixture"?  It just makes me feel a bit pressured to make this work - I just want to get to know him and hang out with him, and see how it all goes :)  DOn't need any pressure at this point.

It's only been about 3 or 4 weeks - give me a chance!

Such a good weekend :)

Here's a random one for you :)

Sometimes I do a bit of writing, and at the moment, I have an idea stuck in my head :)

I'm never good at choosing names to call characters - any good ideas?

The story will be based in New Zealand :)

Yay, I have a date tonight :)

Fingers crossed!

It's a second date...

Yay, my friend has added LJ :)

I tried long distance once before, and I couldn't do it.

It's now about 3-4 years on, and I really think it's something I could do - if I cared enough about the person.  That wasn't the problem the last time, it was immaturity.

Now I'm older and wiser, I think I am capable of keeping it going :)

What do you guys think about long distance relationships?  Doable or not doable?

Well, an update on my weekend!

Joe visited, and we had a great time hanging out.  We went out for dinner one night, and had the best time just chatting :)

So yeah, a fantastic weekend!

Then... I had to ask if he was interested in a long distance relationship.  I've been talking to him since April or May, and met a couple of times now.  I usually wouldn't bring the relationship thing up until there had been a few dates, but because of the distance thing, it had to be asked.  He was honest with me, and said he didn't think he could do long distance.

So that's that.

Still, it was a great weekend :)

I thought it could be fun to amuse everyone with tales of the terrible, stories of the surprising, memories of the messy... to put it nicely, I thought I'd give you some insight about why I'm "unluckyinloveee".

I've had lots of first dates.  Haha, I'd like more second dates, but some are better left at just the one.

I've had the date that was actually in pain during our date.  The poor guy had injured himself and forgotten to take medication before the date.  We were meant to go to the movies, but we ended up going back to my place, getting him some panadol and sending him home.

I've had the date that involved meeting up at a park to chat, and progressed to walking to the bottle store, getting some beers, and watching Dazed And Confused on telly.  And the date started at 3.  Needless to say, I walked back to my own house about 7 - half drunk and bored.

I've had the date that was just plain old awkward.  Nothing really to say, no chemistry, nothing.  Those dates always stem from random hookups at the pub.  You know it's true!

What's the worst first date that you've been on?

So frustrated at work today - I had a sneaky cry moment :(

I've been at my job 2 years, and I know my job well!  Yet, I get no acknowledgement for it.

Perhaps time to move on?

Cling to the light, fair angel
Order has upended into chaos,
And speed has slowed you down.

Stopped you, it hasn't, fair angel
Strive to climb out of the darkness
Although letting go is not admitting defeat.

Our prayers and wishes surround you, fair angel
As we try to understand your torment
Don't let somebody's recklessness decide your fate.

Is it sad that I don't eat many fruit and vegetables, and that I have to figure out easy ways to eat them since I avoid them?  Haha it's like I'm a 5 year old.

I eat salad cos it's easy and I make meals for myself like tacos or burgers because you kinda need to have salad in them.

I know I should just eat fruit and veges - how hard is it to eat a banana or an apple?  Is anybody else as bad as I am about them?

Man, I'm weird.

I have a date on Friday night.  With neither Bob nor Joe.

Got asked out by a friend of a friend, so I thought I'd go on one date with him :)

I don't know anything about him, except that if my friend trusts him and has been mates with him for ages, then he must be alright.

Wish me luck!

Is it just me or is my life full of guys?  And none of them I can call mine!

I'm having lunch with a guy I dated for about a month tomorrow - but it's only lunch, it's not a date or anything, trust me.

I wonder if I'm just seen as the "best friend" not the "girlfriend".  I have a lot of guy mates, and I don't have much luck with guys.

Darn it, I'm overthinking everything again.

Ok, so I'm aiming to have a second date with the younger guy (let's call him Bob) :)  That's still happening, just not sure when...

My theory is that I'm single, so I can have options...  What's your thoughts on that?

I have been talking for months to a guy I met on a social networking website (let's call him Joe), and we met last month finally.  It went really well, not awkward at all.

I get to see Joe again in a few weeks, so I'm kinda excited about it.

At what point do I have to stop seeing one of them?  Technically, I've only had 1 "official" date with each, but I have been talking to Joe for a lot longer than Bob.

Options are good, but I don't want to mislead anybody.

I'm making a playlist of "songs that hype me up" - all those songs you play before a big night out, or that make you happy when you are feeling a little bit off.

What would you put on?  No matter how cheesey!

I like Katrina and the Waves - Walking On Sunshine.  I know, it's cheesey, but who can resist?

I went to a really random house party last night.  It was for the guy I was meant to go on a date with on Friday night.  I took a friend, and we didn't know anybody there.  There was somewhere between 30-50 people in a house, with a DJ, strobes and smoke machine - I've never seen a house party like that.  We ended up having the best night - we kept introducing ourselves to lots of random and crazy people, and made some interesting friends :)

And the guy I was meant to go on a date surprised me a lot.  You can tell a lot about a person by their mates.  He understood "no", when I didnt want to do a shot.  He was a very good host to everybody :)

Guess I should give him that second date...

I think we've met before
Once
In another world
Before

Our minds connect so well
Together
In another world
Once
