"I can hear the (jingle) bells...."

Just to keep you all posted, last night, I had a friend over, and we discussed a few things in regards to Jack. I think that I have made the right decision; in letting these feelings go… there are plenty more fish in the sea and all that!!! As I said in my last post though, I will continue to speak to him… aside from anything else, we are amazingly similar and we get on really well… I will keep you posted in relation to THAT one!

Whilst at work this week the bombshell was dropped on me that the Christmas party is only a few months away (December 18th to be precise!) and, as could have been predicted, I’ve landed myself in a mess again!!! See the time had come to pay our deposits, and of the 10 staff in my department, I was the ONLY one that didn’t have anyone to take with me as my date!

To keep myself from being completely embarrassed, I paid for TWO tickets… setting me back far, far, far too much money! Stupid, I know. I just didn’t want to feel like the only sad act there that couldn’t get hold of a date… and so now the race is on… I have (exactly) 86 days to find someone that fits the bill… good job I like a challenge!

See, the thing is – and I guess that it is a large part of the reason that I believe in soulmates – that I need to actually feel something for them?? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a very high opinion of myself WHATSOEVER! But sometimes (in the nicest possible way) I feel like I could do better than some of the trolls that I usually attract.

I know that you should have the ability to see through people’s imperfections, but for those who have been following my posts, you will know that isn’t what I am looking for… SO… just to confirm, if it wasn’t going to be hard enough to try and find someone, anyone, to take me to the Christmas party – my pride and burnt ego is making me fussy too! Still, I am remaining positive! 86 days is a long time, right???

The other thing that i want to make CRYSTAL clear, is that i am aware that all of these posts don’t paint me in a very good light... my life honestly isnt all about being in a relationship, or that i am a hopeless romantic.. there are other aspects to me, and through the progression of these posts you will find out that i am really NOT such a poor little victim! HOWEVER, for now...

Prince Charming beware, I’m coming to get you!
