No smitten kittens in sight

This is a random, out-of-the-blue rant and I don't even know if I'm going to hit "publish post". If you're reading this...I obviously did.

#LatinLover is back. He got back yesterday actually and he did text me, which i'm gonna be honest - I had completely betted against. I really didn't see the need to get my hopes up. Especially...when I've been doubting how I feel. 2 weeks on followed by 2 weeks off gave me plenty of time to re-asses my feelings.

Is he a nice guy? Yes. Do i like him? I def don't dislike him. Do i like the idea of him? Yes. Do i like the idea of someone? Yeah that's most likely it. Unfortunately.

I know me.If I'm not a smitten kitten from the start, then things will most likely fizzle out. I know that sounds like I expect a lot, but really - it has happened & those have been the best flings and/or relationships regardless of their ending.

Don't get me wrong, i was intrigued when we met...but that intrigue was never really topped. It was just kind of there - chillin'. Till we finally had the chance to hang out. It was a fun date, which ended probably not how first dates should end - keep them in suspense is good advice i don't listen to - but there was none of *that*. Whatever you want to call *that*.

Now that he's back, I don't even care much to make plans with him. Except for the fact that I agreed to save all of Jersey Shore for when he got back, and since I like to keep my word, I did. Dying. To. Watch. Them. Eek!

So anyway, he's invited me to a cottage with his friends for the weekend - which is what's going to delay Jersey Shore even more! - however I'm not interested. I don't have any good excuse per se...except I just don't want to go. Plain & simple. I mean, obv i do want to see him at some point again (preferably sooner rather than later because the Jersey Shore suspense is just short of killing me) since it's probably better to  confirm the re-assessment of my feelings in person and not just on a whim.

I guess I just don't want to hurt his feelings, because he really is a nice guy. However, nice guy isn't enough. Especially for me. Let's face it #LatinLover, you've failed miserably at making me forget about #Rockstar [you'd know from the tweets the last few days], but not only that - I've been somewhat intrigued by new people that I've met. That is most definitely not a sign of a smitten kitten!

Haha I had to, too cute!

Nuff said? I think so. Rant over. God, I love this outlet.

Frenchie, part 4

For part 1, go here.

For part 2, go here.

For part 3, go here.

Eventually i had to get rough with Frenchie. And probably not the kind of rough he would have preferred. After asking him to leave me alone at yet another party he insisted on drunkenly pulling me aside and acting like an asshole. Which resulted in my yelling:

"Fuck off! Fuck off! Fuck off!"

That certainly got his attention. And everyone else's - everyone turned to watch. Oops. But problem solved :) Even i can't believe it had to end this way but i had been beyond patient with this guy.

When i got home, this was waiting for me on Facebook:

Frenchie November 6, 2008 at 7:56pm

ya daniela...i think you misanderstood smthg when i wanted to explain u the thing...i just wanted to say say u that we could be friends b.c. i just mean i would not care if you want to have other relation with other guies...i actually want to go out with a german girl and NOT with you...so don't be afraid when i speak to u and don't imagine that the the world turns around you!!!

so have a good night!!! and don't think too much...!!!

[Frenchie]

I told you this was a learning experience - i was one step closer to finding out that 'the world does not turn around me'. Who knew?

Also, i am not insulted that you don't want to date me. Really, don't worry. Nor am I 'afraid' of you. Just bloody annoyed as shit.

The following is a letter that my friend from home wrote on my behalf, which in hindsight i wish i had actually sent to Frenchie! *evil laugh*

[Frenchie], 

How’s it going today? Since our talk the other day I’ve been thinking a lot and can’t believe how stupid you are. I am not sure if it is because you are French, male or just simply an idiot. However, your only use to me was as a rebound from a previous relationship and that need is now satisfied. Perhaps if you were not quite as dumb as you are we could have continued to make out casually. In fact, you might have been able to sleep with me. Let me tell you, you are missing out. Please change your facebook status as we were never anything and now we are less than that. 

Au Reviour,

Daniela

By this time i was so over it though and way more enthralled with my flirtatious relations with my Edward. We had a great time in November, but once December and exams hit there were no more parties and no more flirting :(

At the official going away party, i ended up finding out that the message which Frenchie's roomie had relayed at the Halloween party was that Frenchie wanted to "take this outside" and fight Edward. BAHAHAHAHA Are you serious?! He would crush you. But he'd be crushing you for me, so i would have been down with that. ;)

In the end, i regret nothing. It was a hilarious experience, and although frustrating, makes for a pretty good story. I hope you've enjoyed! To anyone planning on going away anywhere - take those experiences in & let loose. A little bit - don't get arrested though.

But i still felt more relieved when Frenchie went back to being single in January. Oh yeah, he waited that long.

Stupid does have more fun!

Ooooooooooh! Before I came up with this title (in 2 seconds flat) i always wondered why i lived with so many regrets. Makes sense now.

I don't usually pay attention to marketing campaigns. My philosophy is that no matter how much money a company wastes spends on their marketing and advertising, it will not make me want to buy their product more. B/c it doesn't create a need. And i have too much common sense for it to create an unnatural want. [Usually.]

But this, i love.

{credit}

I've seen a few of these in my fashion mags and it really really got me. If you go to this site, you'll see a lot more. No wonder Diesel's 'Be Stupid' won an award!

Speaking of stupid having more fun, I discovered a hilarious video on the lovely Leanna's blog OMG I moved to NYC (GO GIVE HER BLOG LOVE NOW!) about a show called Lake Shore - the Jersey Shore of Toronto. Epic.

Once you watch it, you will wonder why these people are trying so hard to imitate the greatness of Jersey Shore. Sadly, that's them au naturel. What it is, is them trying really hard to "properly" represent their nationality, and avoiding being "too Canadian". This Bulgarian-Canadian is (very rarely) guilty of this as well. I'm pretty foreign & pretty integrated all at the same time - it's a fine line. And if i had an IQ of 5 i'd probably (want to) be on this show too! But alas, i'll leave the (making a fool of oneself on television & the internet) fun to the stupids :)

Can't take rejection much?

Sorry, i know i'm overloading you with posts today - but you know you love it, don't lie :)

So remember super clingy guy from last weekend? Well, read here if you can't keep track of the many douchebags that i meet.

After that post, i figured i'd give him a shot because he was nice enough. I also have the habit of 'reading a book by its cover' and not giving people [guys] chances, so i figured i would. What's the harm?

Well that depends on your definition of harm. I consider having meaningless [and sometimes forced] conversations and being called "cutie", "sweetie" & "angel" in every other text message harmful to my health.

The following are some texting highlights from Saturday:

[I changed my # this past weekend and sent a mass text to inform my contacts]
"That was ur only chance to get rid of me now your [excellent grammar skills] screwd girl lol :p"
Yeah i totally should have just cut you off that way. I'm a little bit more mature though. But don't worry, I have other ways to get rid of you.

"Ok cutie txt me later checking in lol... I'll be waiting, and don't get too hammered tonight won't b there for u to have a shoulder to lean on lol"
How about you stop talking now? Seriously, wow. And how about you do not tell me what to do? Plus, i was nowhere near 'hammered' last week. Just happy drunk. Maybe i should have been hammered cuz then i totally would have ignored your ass. Frig.

"Did you have fun tonight? Get drunk? Pick up any guys lololol"
Yeah, i picked them all up. I should have told him that too. What an idiot. I'VE KNOWN YOU FOR A WEEK why do you keep forgetting that? Because you now look like a total idiot.

I avoided him all day yesterday & today because i'm BUSY and have nothing to say to him. Some people just can't take a hint. So i resorted to letting him down gently tonight.

"Yaaa..so listen, you seem like a great guy but honestly as u can see my life is pretty busy right now. I don't really have time for anything else at the moment. I don't wanna waste your time and mine 'cause I don't really see this going anywhere."

Get a load of the response: "Later"
Ugh...as in you're too busy to reply and we'll discuss it later? Confused. "Sorry, what?"
His moment of epic maturity consisted of: "Later aka bye!"

That actually happened. Buddy, you're 27 and that's your reaction? With the rejections you've probably faced due to your serious clingy-ness, you really haven't honed your taking-it-like-a-man skills. Get some of those, because you'll clearly need to use them in the future.

I do now kinda wish i hadn't bothered giving him my new number, but hopefully he just deletes me. On the bright side, at least i didn't have to explain to him why it wouldn't work. I just don't like you. But no one likes to hear that.

On an even brighter note, it made for some good blog content! We should all send the big baby a big thank you!

Welcome to me, TO!

Goooooood afternoon from my new location! In case you are wondering - i'm LOVING IT! Except i just had THE craziest weekend known to man.

Friday

Wake up early & pile all my crap into truck.

Drive 2hrs to new place.

Unload all my crap.

Wonder why i chose the 14th floor? [sshh 13th i know]

Be thankful i'm close to the elevator though.

Have daddy & uncle put up curtain rods across impossible windows. [THANK YOU!]

Change phone number - 4yrs together, i'll miss you old one!

Have awesome friends help me put together my furniture with some vino & pizza :)

Realized my [super extra heavy & impossible to carry] IKEA coffee table was damaged :(

Pass out.

Saturday

Realize i don't have milk for coffee or cereal.

Had an epiphany - i can boil water ON THE STOVE for tea & oatmeal!

Tackled the unpacking that is my closet & bathroom! [i'm never going shopping again]

Freaked out b/c time flew by & i needed to get ready for Halloween!

HAD LOADS OF HALLOWEEN FUN!

Came home after a night out in TO - so weird!

Sunday

Wait forever in IKEA exchanges - but whatta smooth exchange it was!

Buy loads of IKEA stuff. This is my receipt:

I won't tell you how much, but there's been more expensive trips!

Buy loads of stuff at Walmart too.

Make 5 trips from parking garage to apartment to bring it all in.

Be thankful for nice neighbour guy who helped me carry my [super extra heavy & impossible to carry] IKEA coffee table to the elevator.

Spend 30 minutes figuring out how to work my new IKEA can openner.

EAT delicious clam chowder :)

Unpack more things i purchased & put together coffee table.

Unwind with my Sunday night TV & joy @ accomplishing so much this weekend! :)

And here i am today. Being pretty lazy actually, but i'll tackle the knick knacks tomorrow. The place looks great but the walls are pretty bare. I'll update once it's a bit cleaned up but i leave you now with today's view from my balcony :)

Celeb Parents aren't REAL Parents

I'm kind of torn about whether or not i even want to share the following with you lovely people. I'm not even sure what the right word(s) is(are) to describe my thoughts on this.

I'll just get down to it. Watch this video - i completely understand if you can't get through it entirely, i will not blame you.

W.T.F. That is a 5 year old singing. Well Wikipedia says 10. I frankly don't give a shit. This is goddamn ridiculous.

FIRST of all, where the fuck do i start? Aside from this is just making me swear a lot. MAYBE i wouldn't be so put out if she was singing about lollipops or something. K, SCRATCH THAT! Lest we forget Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" from a few years ago.

5 10yr olds should not have record deals and videos. Call me old-fashioned. Very few child stars make it out alive. Why would you put your kid through that?

Second of all...i actually listened to the lyrics.

I'ma get more shine than a little bit 

Soon as i hit the stage applause im hearing it 

whether its black stars black cars im feeling it 

but can't none of them whip it like i do 

I, i gets it in mmmm yea i go hard 

when they see me pull up i whip it real hard 

i whip it real hard,real hard,i whip it real hard

Wow. I'd probably cringe a little bit even if it was an adult singing it. But it's not. She's 5 10.

Thirdly, just because the video is set in an elementary school does not make this ok. In fact, this means other children are subjected to it - but mostly, other children's parents think this is normal!!!! For the record, it's not.

And fourthly...let's get down to who "she" is. Willow Smith. Ya, Will Smith is her daddy. I may heart the crap outta the guy but i am SUPER disappointed right now. I had more faith in you than making both of your children into child stars.At least Jaden is acting in child-like roles [I haven't actually seen The Karate Kid though]. Seriously. You should know better. Now i resent you - is this what you wanted?! Don't answer that.

This is pretty good backup as to why i friging hate the youth of today. *sigh*
