Arms

Summer's coming! The time of the year when people start wearing less
and less and the temperature in the tube gets higher and higher. Not
the best time of the year to be down here, surrounded by myriads of
sweaty people, some of whom do not appear to be aware of what a
"deoderant" is :(

There is, however, one aspect of travelling by tube when the weather's
hot that i do like! There's nothing like a bare well-defined arm
flexing whilst holding on for safety.

Roll on Summer and hot men in short sleeves in tank tops! ;)

Mobile blog?

Well, i've had this brilliant idea. Why not use my commuting time to
write my blog? So here it is, my first mobile entry! Complete with
lower case i's, random apostrophies and, on doubt, some T9 (predictive
text input system) jewels!

Having a stressful time at work again, which has led to some pretty
weird dreams, after taking ages to fall asleep. Mr D is am absolute
sweetheart and has been very supportive and understanding so far.

Considering that i travel on the tube at peak hours, it should come as
no surprise to learn at 8 out of 10 times there are no seats
available. It turns out that today is one of my lucky days!
unfortunately it also means that i have to try and stay awake or i'll
miss my stop. easier said than done.

Diet Coke break and Carpe Diem

You know, I don’t usually drink Diet Coke but today I felt like having one. Do you remember those ads on TV a few years ago, with the topless hunks and the lady office workers having a Diet Coke break when he showed up in the office? I can’t remember what time that was at, 11am? 11:30am? Oh, well, it’s a bit later than that and even though I am not a lady (in the physical sense!), I wouldn’t mind laying my eyes on a topless hunk right now!

Anyway, after that random introduction …

Based on GBD’s current track record, it should be clear that I cannot be relied on to make regular contributions to the blogosphere. However, you can rely on me to ask lots of questions about relationships, men, etc; mainly intended for me to try and understand what’s happening around me, as opposed to expressing another truism.

So, in case you are wondering, I can confirm that Mr D and I have crossed that line (several times;-) ) and been intimate! It’s all been very good, actually, amazing but I am not one to kiss and tell, so I’ll spare you the details :-P

As I mentioned in my last post, I believe that my previous relationships have affected the way I behave these days and even though part of it is quite negative (aka “baggage”), I have to admit that my past experience (separations!) has enabled me to “seize the day” and enjoy the fun times while they last. Which is great, as, so far, I’ve had a lot of fun with Mr D, not just sex-wise, but also doing all the things that people do when they start dating.

Thankfully, we haven’t started wispering sweet nothings to each other! Not yet anyway. I really like Mr D and hope he does too, but at the same time I am not sure whether something other than dating will come of it. Should I be falling in love? How long does that take? Is it necessary? Or am I just afraid of commitment? If so, something has changed because I always thought I commited to relationships very quickly.

Either way, it feels good to be wanted/desired by someone. Especially when that happens on a regular basis.
