Tips to the male datee

Not the worst date ever, but pretty damn dull. Which sucks because he's a really nice guy.

But really, do  you need to bring out the Nintendo and XBox on the first date?

Dinner was alright, though he couldn't actually say anything important, nor could he make a point about anything. At one point when we were walking around I said, "Spit it out!"

Checking your iPhone while at the table is a major insult, I don't care how busy you are with work. If you decide to go out with someone, that's your time with THEM. Or go to the washroom and do it.

Argh, another bites the dust. I might be a friend with him and chat, but that's it.

Tips:

Don't check phone

In fact, turn phone to silent

Ask her questions about her life

Compliment, seriously, is it that difficult?

DO NOT PLAY VIDEO GAMES UNLESS THE GIRL ASKS

Back to the drawing board.

holy crap - over a month!

Okay - holy crap it's been a while.

I guess you could say that this summer has been/was a busy one. I've taken up the evil hobby of running, yes, RUNNING! I couldn't believe it myself. The other night I ran over 6km! I'm doing a program similar to the Running Room (yes, that evil, elitist expensive club/store/organization) but I'm at 10 minute runs with 1 minute walks and I completed 5 reps or cycles the other day. I was pretty damn proud of myself considering that in the first week of July I was running 1 minute and walking 2 minutes.

So boo-yeah for me!

This summer was not the Slutty Summer like I've had in previous years but I had a lot of fun. Heck, I even went to a bathhouse! It was a fully or mostly clothed evening that was an after-party for the Queer Film Festival but it was definitely interesting to be in a typically male-dominated space.

I did re-connect with an old fling. So I guess I popped my new apartment's cherry so to speak.

I haven't thought a lot about my single status. Most of my time has been spend with good friends. The only times I really get down about it is the odd day when everyone that I'm with has a partner, like at a BBQ about a month ago. Everyone (3 or 4 couples) were all being cute and I was sitting by myself. Of course, I'm cute enough as it is, but I'd like to have that significant other again.

Speaking of which, I have to laugh, I think my ex-bf is going to end up marrying his current gf and I really, no, REALLY have to laugh. So, don't judge me for dating him, but the guy can't even balance a cheque book. He thinks the world owes him and he drinks his paycheque away and spends the rest on porn, magazines and (you guessed it) comic books. Fuuuck. Alas, I'm looking to BUY my own apartment on my own and he'll be renting and living paycheque to paycheque so revenge is best served by bettering yourself.

In other news, well, there isn't much. Work is hectic as always and prospect number in the zeros. So I write, alone, on a Thursday. Here's to hoping that Friday brings better luck - there is a wedding this Saturday so keep your fingers crossed.

*sigh* cologne

His smell still lingered on my shirt this morning.

Last night went very late, but I have no regrets. None what so ever.

It was an interesting evening, seeing someone you haven't seen in about 2.5 years. I wanted everything but he didn't let me have it all.

Guys that aren't looking to fuck and get it over with are few and far between.

Hell, with a body like his I'd wait a hell of a long time.

So basically, my famine has broke. I actually had sex last week, yes, I am the other woman. I felt sick, but I came so I was happy.

Given the above, I still yearn for a relationship. Trust, respect, dare I say? love? A casual rarely offers that.

In other news - I have another stalker. Please note that I no longer reply to personal emails. I was creeped out when I was writing this blog 2 years ago and got way too involved with someone that took no responsibilities for his actions and whined to me about his lot in life. Dude, that's what blogs are for. Post it on there so I can read it voluntarily.

That is all.

Single gal (still) signing out.

still the Canadian Bridget Jones

I simply do not get it. I went out on 2 dates with this guy, he sends me a note to say "let's catch-up tonight" as we were both busy for a couple of days. And now nothing. He's taken his profile off the site we met on and I have heard nothing from him for almost 2 weeks.

I just do not get it.

I thought we'd had a good time, that we connected. But no, he goes and spoils it all by NOT CALLING! WTF.

On top of all of this, my elementary school friend that I have known since I was 9 just got engaged. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for her, really. She deserves the best.

But I'm thinking, when the hell is it my turn. Really.

Blah, blah, blah. I'm wallowing in my own singledom. It's allowed every now and then. And now's the time.

In other news, I'm trying to get out of town this weekend. I finally have access to a car. And no one is around. I'm wondering what happened to all of my friends.

From the tone of this, I'm feeling really down and lonely and discontent. Fuck, now REM is on: Everybody Hurts. Ironic? We'll go with it.

I need an escape.

hand in the cloud

So, yeah, I had a date tonight and a really cool makeout session.

The guy is really nice and we have tonnes in common which is great. I wasn't sure if he was a total awkward guy but we had a makeout session in his car (it was kept clean) and it was a lot of fun. Once we were somewhat comfortable we totally dug in and were making out like crazy.

Really hot, definitely what I needed as it's been about 7 months since I've kissed anyone and it felt pretty damn good.

So I have no idea if anyone reads this anymore, but i needed to gush to someone and no one is awake on MSN.

Nite all!!

Happy Canada Day (July 1st)

hold me in and make me feel like a woman

I love corsets. I remember buy my first corset. It wasn't a 'real one' (with boning and the ability to be tied up really well, but it was close enough. I loved how it looked, how I felt in it and I wanted more.

The second corset I purchased was from New World Designs in Gastown (Vancouver.) The store clerk was fantastic and found me a lovely find then laced me in really tight. I love the feeling of being in a corset. It's like someone is always hugging you. The smallest part of your waste is emphasized when you're tied up and almost everyone looks hot in one.

I went to a fundraise last night and got to try on an 'under the bust' corset. I had never tried one on but the designer was there and got straight to business when I picked one up. The most fabulous thing about this particular designer is that they make items for women with curves, plus-sized women AND they do custom work (something New World Designs said they did not do.) Felix and Kitty are the makes of the fine products and I highly recommend checking out their sight. I'm not so much into the period pieces but the quality was there which was a rarity.

Here's a few pics for your enjoyment (and mine.)
