OK, here's the picture, I'm wearing my suit (minus the jacket at the time of this story) at work. Some of you may know of a girl I might have mentioned recently. Well, she's sat in a lab talking to some guy I'm waiting to talk to. So, I start making faces at her over his shoulder, and I get this look from her. I think "Okayyy, I think I'll hide now"
OK, I know, it's childish.
Anyways, I'm over in a meeting in the building she works in, and as I leave I walk past her desk. I apologise to her for pulling the face at her. "Oh, it's OK. I was trying my hardest not to laugh".
So now I know what she looks like trying not to laugh and thinking "You sod!"

Majour Headfuck
OK, so I'm driving home, thinking to myself "OK, it's been far too long, need to get the ex out of my head. I need to find someone new."
Sooo, I'm off to the local supermarket. Go in, get some shopping, look for some trousers I could use for work, then go and look for a card for my bro. Looking around I see a fine looking rear view of a girl. She turns round slightly, and it's my ex. I think "Oh fuck". Don't think she saw me. As I go over to look for the birthday cards, her new feller goes over to her.
I try to catch a look at him (interested in what sort of bloke she's ended up with). To be honest, he looks a bit of a gimp.
It's been over a year now. After seeing her within touching distance since she last shouted at me with sokmeone else, I'm not sure how I feel. I think a bit embarassed. Jealousy? I don't think so. Longing? nah. Anger? Maybe, briefly.
I was tempted to go over and say "Hi", but resisted. I need to move on, get her out of my head. Here's to a new month, new oppertunities, and who knows, a new woman?
Here's hoping.

Bank Holiday “stuff”
Right, thought I'd do a quick "Yayy, done stuff" post.
Well, weekend stuff - while round a mates on Sunday, get a call from the folks. Turns out they've got their boat cleaned and painted and wanted a hand getting it in the water on Monday. Like the dutiful son that I am I said, without hesitation, that I'd help.
Come monday, I go round at about 1pm, all ready with shorts and a change of clothes. Help out with a few bits, and we head down to the sailing club. Turns out the folks got the tide times wong. Spend a couple of hours chilling out on the balcony with a beer, enjoying the sun.
Eventually the tide comes up enough to get the boat in. Dad, with a bit of guidance, reverses the boat round to the slipway, and manage to slide the boat in with no trouble.
Once cleaned up, we go to a local pub for som dinner. Fit barmaid, sweet as anything, although a bit dizzy. Typical me, do a one-line flirt thing then calm up. >.<
God I hate being me sometimes.

First post in a while......
Well, as everyone else has posted about the weekend, I thought I would.
My second journey up to aber didn't take as long as last time (that was about 8 hours after getting immensely lost, with my GPS sending me down the smallest roads I've ever been down) with it only taking 5 hours, after a detour along the M25 taking in the roadworks.
Saturday during the day we took in the rather damp sights of Aber, and got some more booze for the party. The evening, well what a blast. OK, I started drinking about an hour before everyone else, ended up giving a few impromptu performances singing along to a few choice tracks, before heading down to a nightclub.
In the club was kinda bizzare. After a brief dance, I go to the bar. Get my usual JD and coke. This girl overhears me ordering, says to me "Good choice, lets have a dance later", kisses me and walks off. Walking past a guy and a girl, the guy turns to me and says "You wanna see my sister's snatch". Turns out he's actually her step brother and he does it all the time. I have a good chat with the girl for a while. A bit later another girl come up to meand we end up talking for a while (this last encounter was witnessed by most of the guys that went down to the club)
Truly a bizzare evening. Mucho thanks to thevoicewithin and chewbeaker for hosting a tuly wonderful partay. Oh, and it was great to finally meet ficlogic.

A weekend of highs and lows
It's been said by various people on several occasions that I will find someone special at some point.
I bumped into this girl on Saturday night that I've known for a while. There is a substantial attraction between us. Is she "someone special"? I dunno. There is a spark between us, and we spent a large ammount of time kissing on Saturday, ranging from immense passion to sweet tenderness.
Fast forward the clock to Sunday afternoon, I get a message from heer saying that "We should only be friends" as she doesn't want to upset her ex.
At my age I still find women immensely confusing. :-/

Psycho (ex) Girlfriend – resorting to stalking?
Well, been a while since I mentioned her. The thing that's brought her up again is my journey into work this morning.
On the drive in to work, I slowed down to give way to a car on the roundabout. As I drove off behind it I thought, "That car looks familiar". After a few seconds I realised it was my ex's.
Now, she used to live in a "village" the other side of the motorway from me, about 3.5 miles away. Now the direction she came from is from a fairly new development in the village I live in. Now I know one of her friends lives down there, and it may just be coincidence, but it really fucked me up for a bit.
The weird thing is that it's just gone the first anniversary of me being at this job, I haven't seen her for about 10 months now, and the last message from her (I sent a text wishing her a happy christmas) was basically "I thought we were getting on with our lives - fuck off".
Now, for those that have forgotten, we were together for 2½ years. Believe me, I am over her. It's just that as I'm still single, little thing like this remind me of that fact, and when I'm in need of company or a hug, she's the first thing that comes to mind. Familiarity and all that.
Ho hum, roll on Saturday night, and look out ladies, I'm on the prowl. :-)

Quick catch up……
Hokay, I've been meaning to do an update for a while, but keep forgetting. This will be a mixed bag.
Right, Dad came out of hospital on the 27th (parent's aniversary). Stayed round my parents for most of the week, then came home to give them some peace and quiet. On monday (3rd) he has another attack, and ended up back in hospital. They managed to make him comfortable quite quickly, as we managed to go and see him in casualty a lot earlier. I went to see him on Tuesday, and he was looking a lot better and feeling a bit silly for making a fuss, but they did notice something on his ECG. He's staying in till at least the 20th, as that's the earliest he can get an angiogram and they want to keep an eye on him till then.
I get back to work on Tuesday, and I find out that one of staff was on holiday in India when the tsunami hit, but she's ok. There was another staff member on holiday with his girlfriend and parents in Phuket. Unfortunately he's missing along with his parents. His girlfriend was found up a tree, and is in hospital in a critical condition. Kinda brings it closer to home when that happens.
On a slighlty more upbeat note, watched Desparate Housewives last night.
First impressions - weird. And my, Teri Hatcher is looking old. Not sure if I like it yet. Humour was good, and can't remember much else about it. Was knackered. Anyways, I'm gonna give it a chance.
Oh, and Yayy! for me, I've actually made a non-ranty comment for a change. :-)
