pondering life’s questions

12 08 2008

so why is it girls who are single are seen as a lower and outcasted member of the sexes? i find people judge me as soon as the words “i’m single” leave my lips. people shut you out, move on as if you have nothing to add to their conversation and then leave you once again alone. But the big question is, do i mind this? and i have to honestly say no.

i have the freedom to do what i want, when i want, whenever i damn well please. i do not have to wait up for good night calls, i do not need to think of anyone else when i decide to head off on another globe trotting enterprise, i do not have to drag someone along when i meet my friends and vice versa. i can meet friends after work on the spur of the moment without having to call in all the time to someone else. i don’t have to go through the horrible experience of bringing someone home to meet the parents, out partying if someone catches my eye i don’t have to worry about jealously, and i don’t have to shell out for 2 at dinners out.

of course there is the downsides, if i get a wedding invite who exactly is my plus one? on work do’s when partners are invited why am i banned on bringing friends? when i fancy a hug who can i turn to? when i go on planes i always sit next to couples and am made to feel like a gooseberry. i have to pay a full hotel room rate for single occupancy, can’t go out with coupled up friends without being made to look like a leper as i am obviously the odd one out.

but you see these are not massive problems, so i am alone in the presence of couples? truth is one day i will too be coupled up again and dreaming about my single life. So cut out the middleman and stay single is what i say!!!!

you know i write all this, re-read it and now i am pondering if i actually believe what i have wrote, but that question is for another time my friends.





the morning (afternoon) after

urgh, shouldn’t have got that drunk. now my liver is arguing with my head and i’m losing….

although its not the most exciting thing in the world i am going to have a quiet day in and evening and flush my system of all toxins (this could take a while)…

i will make this one short and sweet, firstly you save you the pain of reading my incoherient rubbish and secondly, i need food and to fix my bed, the sheets are all over the place…another random thing to happen overnight, i’m sure the bed was perfect when i got in it!!!





tired and emotional

1 08 2008

so here i am a little bit drunk yet again and here i am writing this. how random.  So this is a blog….

well its me, a girl in London, originally from Oxford and this, in the words of Michael Aspel, is my life.

i live and work in London and want to get out as soon as possible however work have me trapped until Jan/Feb.

just wondering i can’t be the only person who really isnt that bothered by London, it’s not the greatest place in the world and no its not paved in gold…

so what am i going to blog about? well anything really. Travel is my passion and obsession so that primarily but anything else that pops into my mind also. seriously i am as the press say “tired and emotional” – drunk – so i will go before i make a fool of myself

tata for now….
