How Peculiar
I know that when one takes up the challenge of online dating, there’s going to be a little patience required – but I’ve had a few strange experiences lately which have made me realise what a peculiar world online dating is – and just how small Auckland is….
Shapeshifter
I’ve been meaning to tell you about my brilliant night out when I saw Shapeshifter live at The Powerstation. Shapeshifter are my current favourite band, I never tire of their music, so seeing them live on stage was enough to cause as much excitement as a 4 year old seeing The Wiggles Live in Concert…..yep, I could’a peed my pants.
Online Dating: Like a Box of Chocolates
So I’ve been single again for a while now, and know that it’s now time to pick myself up, dust myself off, and start mingling in the single circles again. After all it’s probably best to not wait to strike until the iron is hot – but to make it hot by striking…
One method of ‘getting out there’ is through Online Dating – something I’m experienced with and have done a few times in the past. Who hasn’t these days?
Cocktail hour
My lovely friends and I are planning a few cocktails this Friday night. It’s the perfect opportunity to catch up on gossip and to have a bit of a rant – so in honour of this exciting occasion I thought I’d highlight my top favourite cocktails. Woot!
3D movie
Decided to take it easy last weekend. To step away from recent late night boozing; and to enjoy a bite to eat and a session at the movies.
I love going to the movies, or ‘ to the cinema’ as my mates in the UK like to call it. I used to work for a large home video rental chain whereby movie watching literally became part of my daily routine, so I became quite the film know-it-all-nerd. That was some years ago however and nowadays seeing a movie is a real treat.
Living Alone
I have been living on my own for almost 6 months now, and it sure has its benefits……you can walk around butt naked, let the dishes pile up on the bench for days, invite whomever you want over whenever you want and you can leave the toilet door open if you want to…..yep life is pretty sweet.
But it has its moments too.
Up the Duff
Crikey, is it just me or is everyone of late jumping on the pregnant wagon? (excuse the pun).
It seems like every time you turn around, another friend, family member or colleague has a special announcement, and while I’m very happy for these people, I can’t help but wonder why the sudden rush to keep up with the Joneses? Did I miss the memo/text/Facebook feed?
Summer Daze
Isn’t it smashing being on holiday where every day’s a Saturday, and every night’s a Friday night?!
Sleeping in until you feel like getting up smiling smugly at the thought of no dreaded alarm clock; spending the day at the beach, going on a road-trip or choosing to be out and about all night long; meeting up with mates and their little ones who you haven’t seen since your last holiday amazed at how much they’ve grown (the kids that is, not the beer bellies); lazing around in jandals or bare feet in a bit of a daze but without a care in the world.
Nice one…oh sugar, sorry if you’ve had to go back to work already (no, I’m not really sorry).
