Oops

You know how sometimes you say stuff without even thinking it after half an hour's conversation with the same person? Even if you don't, stay with me here LOL - was talking to V yesterday evening and the phrase 'I'm bored' came up. Soon after that the call was not to put too fine a point on it terminated (imagine being said in an Arnie voice to make it slightly more exciting).

It was just a rambling conversation that was going nowhere, and I may have said the wrong thing, but rang back a bit later (after V had calmed down, didn't want to talk to me, but was OK with listening) and clarified the point - I am bored with the situation in general. I mean, seriously, I like V a helluva lot and we may be heading towards somewhere but being on the phone as the main source of contact constantly gets a bit monotonous after a while. I would love to go visiting again, or as a second option have her come up this way...

How did I end up in this situation again - this is my THIRD long distance relationship and each time I say never again LOL. I guess me being within a hundred kay radius, either I'm too shy or people just don't like me on a visual first impression. Whinge whinge whinge LOL.

A thought just came to me today on the walk back home about the British election (yes, I do have bizarre things floating around in my head) - if the Lib Dems want all the protest votes they can get in the election, and on the slim chance that there is a hung parliament, what will happen then? The Lib Dems hate the Tories with a vengeance, but after demonising Labour all election, would they really hop into bed with them in a coalition? And if they asked for Blair as a sacrificial lamb to go into coalition with Labour, would the Labourites ditch him the day after the election? On the off chance of a hung parliament of course.

Also realised that with my late shift at work on Friday, I will be at home until at least 9 o'clock, which I believe is 1 am in the UK, so hmm I might be able to overdose on election results as they come in - and yes, that would make me very happy indeed LOL. Yes, I don't have much else going on in my life at the moment, the UK elections being very happy making LOL.

SG was in a grumpy mood at work this morning, which made my morning very quiet - she is the only person within talking distance that I can have a conversation with without shouting across the room. She perked up during the day though, so was her usual bubbly self by mid afternoon, which was nice.

Hmm, I think I have put my finger on one of the things I like about SG - she is a breath of fresh air, thinks so differently to anyone I have really spoken to before, and, the phrase that always gets me in trouble, is intriguing. LD is my own age and thinks in similar ways to me about life I think, MG I never really REALLY talked to, was more worshipping from afar, and hmm who were my previous work crushes LOL. AG again is/was my own age, although we disagreed on the politics, in most other things we were pretty much alike, and could hold an intelligent conversation with her, before that geez we are stretching my memory here...

SG2 about five years ago was nice but entirely out of my league, intellectually if nothing else (and yes, it hurts me to say that, I like to think I do have brains LOL), oh RS would have been a lot of fun if I had been able to stick around longer (leaving to go to Canada) and I think she had a boyfriend LOL. Was just sitting there for about two minutes or so trying to think of the attractive girls at my previous workplace, and that was only a couple of years ago, how easily the brain dribbles out the ear :) ohhh, NC had a pierced nose, but was posted overseas for a few years about six months after I started the job LOL - pierced noses, always sexy :)

And I'm pretty sure I hardly mentioned work at all in my previous diaries, hmmph. Although when I did mention work and socialising I do have an inkling that I was squirming in my own self worthlessness and why on earth would that attractive girl even contemplate talking to me. And other such stuff - OMG, it's been six years since THAT rugby game when we, the All Blacks, got blasted away in the second half by France in the World Cup semi. It only seems like yesterday, wow. So yeah, with the squirming in my own self worthlessness at social functions, nice to see that hasn't changed in the subsequent six years :)

But yeah, back to SG - intriguing is a very dangerous word in my mind. Not that I am even thinking remotely along THOSE lines, but I make new friends easily and older friends hmm I try to keep in touch with but it is easier to meet new people maybe or something - six billion people in the world that I haven't met LOL. I like being intrigued but perhaps I shouldn't...

Yeah, this has become one of THOSE posts, am getting myself confused with where it is going or whether it should go down that track or not. Plus Glasshouse is on and it's distracting.

Question of the day, how many regular readers do I actually have? I see the tickers going over on the stats counter, but how many of those are just visiting the once and deciding to put me on block? So please feel free to say hi in a comment if you have read me at least once before, double points to three visits or more. And yes, that is a begging for comments thing, so now that I have let the cat out of the bag, everyone will ignore my request.

Yeah yeah, throw eggs at me, I can usually do without adulation but it's just one of those days I guess. Answers on the back of a postcard or by way of comments please :)
