I know I should update more often and I have resolved to do so!
There is really nothing particularly new this side, though. My life has become a format - work through the week, drink and sleep on the weekends..
I am starting a diet and exercise as of tomorrow - I gained weight last July and havent even tried to trim down! So I went to a dietician on Thursday and got a diet. With it, I need to also do 45mins cardio about 5 times a week. Im actually pretty amped.
My work is going very well, Im really happy there. We moved offices 1st Sept and our new office is so rad, and actually very inspiring to work in, etc.
I have also started a new venture - you could call it a business one, although the aim is not to make money.. but more on that when it is launched on 1st November!
My sister is arriving in 2 months, and i cannot wait! She is coming on 11th Dec, so Im picking her up from the airport, taking her home, and going back to work (it's my last day of work) and then the fun begins! Due to changes in the flights, she is only staying til 29th Dec, instead of 4th Jan, but its ok - we will have fun regardless..
I have been having recurring dreams, where a plane crashes close to me.. Also, Im in Bulgaria, looking at the gorgeous buildings, and forget my camera!!
Last Saturday I turned 24. And it was such a special birthday :)

the story so far..
I can't remember the time or place
Or what you were wearing
It's unclear about how we met
All I know, it was the best conversation that I've ever had
'Til this day I've never found someone
With eyes as wide as yours
I've been searching up and down this coast
Overlooking what I need the most
Did you notice I was afraid?
I thought I'd run out of things to say
Two more hours until today burns this away
And it starts all over again
The sky will never look the same again
'Til you show me how it could be
The sky will never look the same again
'Til you show me how it could be
And everything else is irrelevant
To the story so far
A coincidence that you look like her from afar
Is it true that you like to sleep alone?
Or is it what you just tell everyone?
Did you notice I was afraid?
I thought I'd run out of things to say
Two more hours until today burns this away
And it starts all over again
The sky will never look the same again
'Til you show me how it could be
The sky will never look the same again
'Til you show me how it could be
Until you show me how it could be
Until you show me how it could be
And when the world turns over
I'll keep my ears to the wall
And when the world turns over
I'll keep my feet straight on the ground
Did you notice I was afraid?
I thought I'd run out of things to say
Two more hours until today burns this away
And it starts all over again
The sky will never look the same again
'Til you show me how it could be
The sky will never look the same again
'Til you show me how it could be
Until you show me how it could be
Until you show me how it could be

tell me tell me can you feel the pressure now?
so, i have been spening plenty of time with the german, and he is really growing on me, like a german wart.
we went for early dinner on monday night, and then to pretoria on a road trip on tuesday, then we cuddled and watched DVDs :)
we went to DOORS on tuesday night, and, with mr bipolar there, more drama ensued:
the german and i had agreed to go home when drama starts, and yet it was too much and we couldnt tear ourselves away.
firstly, he did his shirt thing - which is, when h needs to 'scratch' his belly, he lifts up his shirt to show off his body. this is done
very casually. hahahahaha. then, his adorable ex came there, with the boy who wants her, ie the best friend, and mr bipolar did to
her exactly what he did to me last week. he ignored her, and flirted with some other girl. and thus, the night followed the format -
the adorable ex cried, then got drunk, the best friend pretended he didnt care, and mr bipolar was oblivious to it all.
we finally left at 11.15 cos we just couldnt take it anymore.
IN OTHER NEWS: i had to Doom a colony of ants yesterday, and i felt like a nazi in a concentration camp. but it had to be done.
today i cleaned the house, did the dishes (well, my dishwasher did them) and laundry. i have to go to my dads work at 1, so he
can show me the ropes, then we leave for the airport at about 4..

now i think we've taken this too far..
saturday night was extremely eventuful..
i went for coffee with mr bipolar, who i have now forgiven, but who will never be allowed to play tonsil hockey with me ever again. his german friend came with. well, hes not german, his dad is, and he has gorgeous blue eyes (the boy, not his dad). we went to school together, yet the amazigness of his eyes has always escaped me.
anyways, we had coffee and then we went back to my place, got ready and had pre-drinks at damien's place. mr bipolar insisted on picking up his adorable ex and paying for her for everything. the german and i drank beer and talked.
then we went to the gig. my gorgeous best friend was there, and, by that time, i was a little tanked, so i told tmr bipolar that i wanted the german. he gave me the ok on it, and so we were just hanging out, watching mr bipolar try get with the gorgeous best friend. it was a sight for sore eyes. he was making such a fool out of himself. i, of course, egged him on, and said that she wants him. he even smsed her to tell her he wants her. anyways, it obviously didnt work, so he decided to try with the adorable ex again, which turned the night into drama.
we ended up going to red room. on the way to there, mr bipolar was feeling sorry for himself:
MR BIPOLAR: i shouldnt have sent your gorgeous best friend that sms. shes totally not into me
ME: (look at the german)
THE GERMAN: no way dude, she totally digged you
MR BIPOLAR: you're right. she did, didnt she?
ME: (hitting the germans leg, trying to stiffle my gigles)
we got to red room, they werent allowed in with shorts, so we had to wait for damien, who managed to get arrested for drunk driving. anyways, an hour later, we went it, and then everyone disappeared, because the adorable ex was there. damien was sad, mr bipolar was flexing his muscles at her, and there was plenty of drama..
