Finding what you love
Feb 25th
At the beginning of 2011 I set myself the task of finding what I loved. I felt that like Julia Roberts character in ‘Runaway Bride’ I just didn’t really know what I loved. And I came to realise that if I didn’t know what I loved then how on earth could I find someone to share the things I love with?
As I suspected when I set myself the task of finding what I loved it took me away from the blog and back into the real world to find experiences and things that made me happy. Hence the radio silence. More >
How to read the signs
Jul 2nd
How do you know if someone is interested in you or not?
How do you read the signs?
If you’re like me then it’s not just the other person you have to consider. Most of the time it takes me ages just to realise that I like someone.
So I guess if I’m going to give you simple tips on how to read the signs just be aware that before you start to observe others you need to be self aware.
Let’s take a little situation that tickled me pink last weekend… I was at a showing of Dirty Dancing. The room heaved with More >
The list
Apr 5th
Well when I’m looking for a man – what I want is someone just as tall as me. Not too tall because I’m tall and actually taller guys kinda freak me out. Then he has to have blue eyes. No other colour will do. He has to love what he does whatever it is. Quirky sense of humour. Tolerant of loudness. Love animals. Be reasonably cynical but also positive. Understanding of my long working hours. Turn a blind eye to my continuing obsession with Lindt chilli chocolate. Want to have children but I would rather if it’s not a deal More >
Don’t forget your headphones if you wanna go to work
Mar 10th
Don’t forget your shovel if you want to go to work – fair comment from Christy Moore but after this week – I’ve got another suggestion…
Slurrrrrrp, slurp, teee, heee, heee ,heee slup slurp mmmmm, aaaaa, slurp. You’re so funny, emhimhimhimheeheeteehee sllllluuuuurppp
‘OMG where in God’s name are my motherfuckin headphones’. (Oh yes that’s the kind of vulgar language I used in my head) They should be in my bag. How are they not in my bag? No, no not in that pocket – ahhhhhhhhh. Maybe Twitter will distract me….
slurp slurp slllllllllllllurrrrrpppp.
But no it wouldn’t and why? Because of that God damn More >
How to go out with the girls and flirt
Jan 22nd
All to often I hear stories of girls going out in groups and being too intimidating to approach… and I hear stories from girls who want to go out with their single girlfriends and meet guys but it never happens.
And so…
A couple of weeks ago we decided to go ‘boyin’ which I guess could be described as on the pull. I’m going to put aside the fact that when different people hear the phrase ‘On the pull’ or ‘Scoring’ they have a different idea about what that entails. So perhaps ‘out on the flirt’ would be a better description… As More >
New Year’s Resolutions are so last year
Dec 14th
Well recently I gave an interview to U Magazine about this year’s New Year’s Resolution and how I set myself a new challenge every year. It’s helped me achieve a lot over the past five years. So it might help you too…
Make sure you check out the magazine – I spied a few nice dresses in it!
I think it was In 2004 or 2005, while living in New Zealand, my friend Terri and and I decided to stop making New Year’s resolutions that we couldn’t keep. In its place we decided we would have a statement for the year. Terri’s was More >
Stuck indoors
Dec 5th
The snow kept me largely locked up this week… well apart from my walk home last Saturday night drunk as a monkey, slipping in the snow, and getting caught in the crossfire of a few snowball fights…
I also had a wee chat with George Hook on the Saturday Sit in on Newstalk about www.havethecraic.com so not loads of time dedicated to dating this week I’m afraid.
But a couple of things caught my eye…
That and an epic viewing of Sex and the City box set viewing due to crap TV reception. Ah the exciting life of a blogger!! More of a More >
