parties

My weather pixie has a purple umbrella! woohoo!

You'd never guess purple was my favourite colour!

Text I got about 10 minutes ago read "hows the love of my life today". I think that might be getting a tad carried away. A very big tad at that...

Tucks was still making veiled comments about Mad S and at one point said something about how I must be fighting them off with sticks after knocking back Lynx [altho then he goes "well I suppose you didn't if your moving in with him"] and Mad S. I dunno how Mad S seems to be so oblivious to it all, or maybe he's not and just pretends hes not listening or understanding cos I'm all like "eww don't even go there!"

Considering Shug was off and I expected a busy and therefore quickish day, it bloody dragged in. By the end of the afternoon I was so tired I was walking down the corridor with my eyes closed but then figured that wasn't a good idea as I would likely walk into something and knock my teeth out like my mum did when she was 10.

I've been talking to Old T again a lot lately. Its weird how I just didn't talk to him for MONTHS and then all of a sudden we're all budy buddy again. I know it was me that stopped talking to him and eventually I couldn't even really remember why but hes never even asked me. But if he keeps calling me "snout" I might just stop talking to him again.... I told him if he did again I'd start calling him "old yin" which he hates. But yeah I was talking to him a fair bit today [and I suppose G as well even though he's the poster child for muteness..].

Actually I think Old T still wants to set me up with G. He was going on the other day about how G was looking for sex cos he can't get a woman. He didn't come out and say it but why was he going on to me about it? I dare say if he was remotely interested in me he would at least TALK if not ask me out! But today he was like "aye hes a nice guy" while giving me a meaningful look. And when he went off in his forklift leaving me standing with G he was like "thats G!". Uh-huh. And he's still not saying ought. I think Old T just despairs for us both cos we're apparently both terminally single and he is always going on at me about how I need a man.

Come to think about it maybe THATS why I stopped talking to him!?!

I've had some caffeine today and I think it shows....

Mezie just called. I'd been kind of hoping to avoid her cos she wants me to go to her uncles birthday party tomorrow night and I don't really want to. I told her via text that I wasn't in the party mood but I knew if she got me on the phone she would likely just talk me into it. I don't like parties. I've just realised this when it occurred to me that I don't remember enjoying any that I have been at in the last few years [well since the days of musical statues and jelly and ice cream]. I dunno why but I just tend not to enjoy them. Especially if there is dancing involved. I don't do dancing. Unless I'm extremely drunk which I never am cos I rarely drink and after about 3 Bacardi Breezers I pretty much want to slit my wrists. Or at least go home and go to my bed.

Urgh. So now I've got to go to a party. And one for someone I have met once and with all their relations who I haven't met at all. But Mezie said she was actually looking forward to going [being its a family gathering type thing] and it was partly cos she knew I'd be there & she;d have someone to yak to all night and point people out to.

Unfortunately she says she doesn't have any cute single relations.

Damn.

My mum's right, I'm too easily talked into things.. I HATE PARTIES!! Why couldn't I just say no??!?!?
