Nostalgic memories, anticipation & rememberings

I hate Christmas shopping.

I hate vaalies who come here and take over the bloody coast line and walk around looking like lobsters with peroxided hair saying ‘fank you’.

I hate having to curb my spending.

I hate not being able to park in my parking lot at work.

But I love Silly season.  I love the vibe.  I love going to a club and having to wait at the bar while talking to strangers and having drinks being bought for me.  I love the beach weather we’re having. I love being a local here where every second, third and fourth car has a GP registration.

I don’t even mind the ‘fank you’s’ that much.

Merry Christmas everybody.  I hope Santa spoils you rotten. 

I wish that I could share my love with two very special people who are no longer here with me.  Kiera and Andrew, I will be thinking of them both tomorrow. 

Pros and Cons

There are definite advantages of being a twenty something single female in this day and age. However there are also distinct disadvantages.

Advantages:

- I get to go out with whomever I want and not have to justify one person to another
- I spend a lot more time with my friends than I ever have
- My money is spent on me and me alone
- My dog sleeps in my bed and no one can say a word
- If I want to do my house in pretty pink circles and green dashes, I can.
- My cupboard is widely spaced in between clothes and not bunched up like it would be if I had to share
- I meet lots of people all the time because I get up and go places when I feel like it

Disadvantages:

- I have no man to fight my battles for me like my assistant has. Even though he’s a man himself, he gets his asshole boyfriend/fiancé to do all his dirty work for him.
- When the lights go out like they did last night, I sit alone with the candles and a growling dog and a howling puppy
- If I oversleep like I did today, no one wakes me up
- I have to make my own coffee. All the time.
- I can’t hug a man just cos he’s had a bad day. That’ll just look like I’m trying to bone him.

I miss my exes. All of them at this point. Even Nick who was gay, and Jacques who preferred my girlfriends to me, and Graeme who was a nerd and Carl who was just weird and especially Jaun who sells caravans for a living.
