it was great!
i love myself.
i took great pleasure today in telling my co-worker, S. (the one who is married and faithful and is living vicariously through me and other co-worker J. and is telling us to go out and shag 24/7) that i went out on a date Saturday night and that i didn't kiss him, or even touch him, other than peck-on-the-cheek hello and goodbye.
S: 'what?! and he wants to see you again?'
me: Yep
S: like, you're actually going on a second date with him? and you didn't kiss him? are you sure?
love it. love myself. love that i've ruined her theory on being a slut and shagging everyone in sight.
i win!

'actively' looking
my best friend had a mini intervention with me last week. we caught up for lunch because i was off work sick. i was telling her a funny story from salsa and she suddenly interrupted...
L: Bee
Me: ...and then she - What?
L: Bee you need to start dating
Me: huh? L., you're not listening, i'm telling you a story! anyway-
L: Bee, why aren't you going out on dates?
Me: (succumbing to my story being well and truly interrupted) well... i dunno.
L: Yes you do know. you're always at salsa. like ALL THE TIME. and you know there's no one there for you
Me: well i'm not really looking. not actively looking anyway.
L: well i think you should
Me: well i think your face should. (2 year old, i know)
L: Bee... are you gonna go on some dates? please?
Me: fuck, L. no, i could if i wanted to, i don't want to!
L: Bee! come on! for me?!
Me: date... for you? you're a dik... FINE! i'll date... just let me finish my story!
so i finished my story. and i actually thought about the fact that L. said something to me. I know my friends, and i know that she would have been sent as the messenger on behalf of all my friends to tell me i need to date, which also means that they have discussed my lack of dates with one another.
hmm.
they're always dating.
and i would never in a million years go on the dates that they go on. like they meet guys at clubs, kiss them (as if!) and exchange numbers and meet up at the guy's house. they're constantly telling me off, and i try my hardest to keep my mouth shut to stop myself from inadvertedly calling them slags. i love my friends, and i don't care if that's what they want to do, but there is no hope in hell i'm going to do that.
so anyway - a guy asked me out and i went out on a date Saturday night.
and i didn't kiss him.
nor did the date take place at his house.
and we're messaging / calling / emailing.
see?
so there
L: Bee

eek! i'm increasing the distance...
between myself and males who can't spell to save their souls.
i'm a nerd. i know that. i can do all the social things i want but at the end of the day i'm fully aware that i'm a geek and a bookworm. i do my latin dancing, i go to performances, karaoke, pilates, yoga, burlesque class. i do it... but if you peel off one layer, just one, you'll find hundreds of books and blogs and stories and smses. what applications do i have on my iphone?
facebook - so i can read to stay updated 24/7 with everyone
sudoku - the only form of 'maths' i do since year 12
stanza - download books on my iphone and read them. so far i've read: the wizard of oz, Les Miserables, the time machine and orwell's bookshop memories. GEEK
banner - ok this one is a gimmick - it's one of those lcd banners and i can write whatever i want it it scrolls accross the screen eg. saturday morning GO AWAY MUM I'M SLEEPING
wikipanion - mini wikipedia so i can wiki anything day or night
world wiki - gives me info on every country in the world
blanks - an AWESOME game where you have to fill in the missing word
eg. an event or situation that happens at the same time as or in connection with another
concomitant, raillery, peasant or bigot?
translator - self explanatory - can do any language
tanzen - nerdy game where you have to fit the small shapes into the one larger shape.
lightsaber - hehe.
like is this what i bought the iphone for?
hang on, i digress.
so, i own thesauruses, dictionaries, books of sayings, analogies, metaphors; everything! i just came across this freerice.com site that donates 20 grains of rice to the UN world food program for every correct answer.
eg.the effect of the cold will not affect / effect me. choose one.
like seriously. i just got off msn chatting with a guy who couldn't string a sentence together much less spell, i was actually angry at him but i think it's my fault! he may have spelt 'a lot' as one word, and 'guess' without the 'u' but does that make him a bad person? (well yes because in the space of one minutes he asked me if i wanted to settle down, if i wanted to marry, if i wanted kids, when i was planning on settling and if i had an investment property. my response was 'are you drunk?' 'lol, no why?') hmmm

my next boyfriend...
i'm not even going to kiss him. not even hold his hand. seriously. i'm bored at home, reading every printed word known to man. i've got piles of books around me, have been reading blogs to death, and now decided to do something really terrible and reread my ex's emails.
oh
my
god
i'm reading them chronologically which i've probably never done before and it's suddenly very obvious that he was much more interested in me while we were still talking, before we were a couple. honestly, our initial emails back and forth are him writing two or three paragraphs and me responding with one line, or even sometimes one word. the day we became a couple is literally the day he starts writing one liners, usually saying 'i'll talk to you tonight when i see you.' now we were seeing each other very regularly when we weren't together - so it's not like anything changed there.
what bullshit.

is spelling THAT important?!
facebook conversation between me and my cousin D yesterday
(previous conversation was me telling her to not send an abusive message to the guy she was seeing)
D: well can i send him a nice message then?
B: no. no. no. you have gone on ONE date. no
D: but we speak every day!
B: you cannot akt like a neurotic wife
D: fine but i'm just letting you know that i'm in a foul mood
B: fine.
D: akt?! lol
B: how did i put k in? how the hell did i do that?
D:that's ok... C. (her best friend) picked up a guy last night who rites thet and rebbet
B: ?
D: that and rabbit
B: bahaha omg poor girl
D: that's not even phonetic... worse than V. (D.'s ex, who used to talk and write like a muzza)
B: !
D: lol she cancelled her date
B: based on spelling. did she tell him?
D: no.
now that might not seem that normal to you, for girls to make a massive deal about spelling BUT WE DO! if a guy rites lyk dis n speeks lyk a muzztek forget it.
if they speak like morons with wog accents that they can turn on and off (eg. work versus hanging out 'with the boys') forget it.
before i come across as a total bitch i'd like to point out that my ex, A., spoke english as his second language and that is NOT what i'm talking about at all here. he misspelt things all the time, and got his words mixed up when he spoke - i didn't care, i'm an ESL teacher!
and after all there are some girls out there that really go for wogs like that. ones that call their girlfriends their 'missus', the kinds of guys who seem to wear hats all the time, strangely. (i'm fully aware that i'm stereotyping)
a little while ago i met someone online who spoke well and could spell. i was HOOKED. that was all it took. that is ridiculous. is it because when you're chatting over the internet or over sms that you have so little to latch onto that if spelling is perfect you'll see that as a major plus? people's spelling doesn't mean they're a good or bad person. it might relate to how they speak, which would then affect whether or not i'm attracted to them i guess.
and finally i accidentally type things like 'akt'. what if i wrote that to a new guy and he pfffffted me and didn't respond? would i like that? NO. so from now on i will be nicer to guys who were obviously picking their noses and flicking it at other kids in primary school while the rest of the class was being taught how to spell.
