Johnny Depp walks into a bar...
nsert expletives and Jack Sparrow moments and you're away! :)
Yeah, that tickled me. And another fine mix was had down t'pub to beer and eye-candy too! Yes, I feel like I am winning.
There are 2 pay-rises on the way for me. The Forum has coughed up a wee bit, and so has SLaM for a new project. I remain Benefits Reliant ( injuries is injuries ), but an extra £65.00 a month ( what it works out as ) is always useful. Christmas is still cancelled sure, but by February I should be in a better place.
Security upgrades for my work kit are complete ( and paid for ). So that's all good too.
Yeah, could be worse.
Did see this though, and it is soooooo true.
There's a reason why you are single babe. You have your health so it can't be that. It must be the criteria you set up for suitors. If you live in a dream-world no-one will ever be good enough.
Reminds me of this old post for work. It's ok to have criteria, but if it goes too far then you price yourself out of the market.
Admittedly pricing yourself out of teh market is probably a good thing in a dump like Croydon, sure; but in other better towns? Indeed. Relationships are about compromise to get mutual pleasure. Which DOES include friendship. So if you won't let someone who cares for you near you then, well, you're lining yourself up for a fall aren't you ( not a question ).
So if she's hot & single? She's either wounded after a bad one, or was bonkers in the first place.
Me? I know I'M bonkers. And what was done to me was evil, which does explain why I remain a Crazy Cat Dude; but even so. My bonkers-ness-ness comes from trauma that I am working on healing from. Others don't. They hide in a pint-glass instead; and THAT is the mistake. The wound is not cleaned, and instead goes septic. And you wonder why someone so great is now so, well, messed up.
Without friendship there is no long-term anything. Just short-term promiscuity. It's not a healthy place to be.
Life is a strange thing. At least I know that mentally I am in a good place. And I'm sexy too ( just ignore the spot on my bum ).
And yes I am still looking for a seamstress who drives and can fight with an axe and work leather. I expect the post-rock-apocalypse to be rough, so keeping my leathers in a good condition is a good thing. Plus I'm gonna need other boss threads, innit!
Don't worry, I can fix IT and electrical stuff. I have skills to trade too.
Seriously, it's not that weird. Mutual security is an important part of love-life stuff. Doctors and Dentists date for mutual health benefits, so why would an injured high-tech fashionista like me not look for a clobber supply and set of wheels? And, obviously, I have to offer stuff too ( or I'd be freeloading ). It can't be money ( I'm skint, like most people ) so it has to be skills. I can't take you to a tropical atol, but I can fix stuff.
Mutual security is an important part of a happy relationship too. Knowing you have someone reliable watching your back is, well, pretty comfy. Hence why if she's hot and single she's missing something. With looks like that why is no-one good enough? Is it the town? Or is it you?
Solve that question and your life may well improve. I know mine has :)
