OK, I’m a slut.

And I've been spending far too much money recently.

Every weekend for the last month I've been out. Either down town or up in Sheffield. (Thanks for that Ric)

Every time I've been out in town, I've ended up kissing at least one girl, and getting a number each night. As most of you know, I have a reputation for liking girls younger than me. And it's one I'll freely admit to.

Until this weekend. I've eyeballed this attractive blonde woman. I'm thinking she's mid to late 20's. She gives me her number and then she goes home in her BMW. (she was tired and still suffering form the previous night.) A little bit later on, I'm with this other woman. Turns out she's 42. I know, me with a 42 year old!!! Althought that is still not the largest age gap I've ever had, altho it was the other way round.

I call the nice blonde yesterday, turns out she's 36 with 2 kids. Suprised, yes. Shocked, no. Not by either the kids or the age. I am being more open minded these days, and accepting the fact that it's more likely I'll be meeting womwn with kids. Am I gonna see her again? I sincerely hope so.

I like pretty things

This is especially true of women. (Oh no, I hear you say, another rant from Ian about women)

Well, the song is for a woman I met last night. Beautiful in looks and cahracter, but with another man. Such is my luck.

Last night was a typical one for me. Drink^h^h^h^hSpend far too much, get at least one number, legit ones as we've checked I've got the right number, and don't hear from them. This used to really get me down. These days, I'm thinking it's their loss. Hey, I keep getting "successful" on a regular basis. If I keep throwing it out there, something is bound to stick sooner or later.

So I'll keep bashing away, so to speak. ;-)

Today is a good day……

...For...

1)...fixing my PDA mount to the windscreen.
I got my suction cup mount for my PDA yesterday. Bought it after my mate has one the same. After crash testing it, with no damage to the PDA, I decided to buy one. (My PDA was in his mount with GPS navigator running when he crashed into the back of someone and wrote his car off) Left a little bit later than normal after cleaning the windscreen and fitting the mount. Got to work a bit earlier than expected.

2)...solving problems.
Last night, before I left work, noticed that there was a problem with one of my projects. This morning, I look at it and find that a wrong connector has been fitted. Find that the correct connector is still in the kit, and managed to get it changed within a couple of hours of being at work.

3)...completing a piece of work you've been trying to get done for over a month.
I've been trying to get together with one guy at work to sort out some work that needs input from both of us. We finally got together today and within a coupe of hours have completed the work we had to do.

4)...asking someone out.
As part of the work in 3, I managed to "bump" into this girl I quite like here. Had a brief chat while looking for my colleague. Anyways, I catch up with her later, and finally ask her out for a "coffee or something". She suprised me by saying yes without hesitation.

So, today is a good day. :-)

quite a funny situation

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.
