Internet Dating

I have met a few decent guys in the past from Internet Dating, no Soulmates as yet - but you never know I guess.

Recently I have realised how slim my chances of meeting new people really is.

Everybody is meeting people and I am in the office working.

I considered putting it out there & getting back onto the dating site.  After reading a few profiles, I began to lose hope.

I enjoy long walks on the beach (but he lives in Jhb)

I look for the profiles written from the heart, not what they think us women want to read.

Then I came across this one and he made me smile:

A man's job is to know what you're thinking before you have to say it.
He should always make you feel like the most important person in the room.
Hold you up to grab the stars.
And make sure the wine glass doesn't get empty after a tough day ;)

I'm a sporty outdoors type of guy and fun to be around. I am a Cancerian so am in control of my emotions and can be quite kind and loving (and hopefully looking for someone who feels the same).
The special people in my life are by far my biggest priority and I'll go to the ends of the earth for them. I'm quite happy with my life but looking for someone special who is fun and loving. But also to expand the circle of friends cause that really is true wealth. I get a long with most kinds of people cause I honestly always see the best in all people... imagine that ;)

More about me....
I like to cook but need a good taster. I'm patient except with taxis, active except on rainy days, funny if you like to laugh, serious if you didn't get the joke, intelligent and caring.

I also managed to make it through grade 1, therefore, I can spelle, make nice sintince, tork luk ah Joburga, and I can nearly tie my own shoe laces, but I'm no good at long division :p
But I'm pretty sure my parents brought me up properly with good morals, principals and respect, which you don't find too often anymore.

So if you read my packaging and you think it's good for you, please drop me a mail.

I'll probably even fake sick leave to spend the day with you if you don't feel like going to work, even though that's very dishonest ;)

And never fear, I know what to do with parktown prawns and rain spiders, jump on the couch and empty your deodorant on them *kidding*, but when they walk in the door and whisper your name in that dark sinister voice, just say 'no she's next door' :)

He describes his ideal match thus:

It's in a gentle smile and loving eyes
Someone who you can't miss in a crowd and can't take your eyes off
When you know you're in the wrong place when she's not there
When you're constantly thinking time flies
Someone who may not be perfect but you know she's an angel
An island in an ocean
When nothing else matters
A dream that you don't want to wake up from
When you're always trying to think of the right things to say
When she walks down the street, the sun shines, the birds sing and puppy dogs follow her.

Someone who can handle watching Jeff Dunham at least ten times, can handle being tickled

Oh ya, and someone who knows how to fix my Mnet, no seriously, if you can fix it I might even let you hold the remote control :)

I was all ready to sign up and contact him and then I saw that he has last logged in in May. Clearly some lucky girl has snapped him up. {facepalm}

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

The Good:

We have found a photographer for my brothers wedding - I really am having a blast planning this wedding.

The Bad:
I have to plan the wedding sitting on the toilet with my Blackberry because work is keeping me ridiculously busy
I am beginning to wonder if I am not being exploited too much.
I feel like slave labour and nobody is taking me seriously when I say I cant cope for much longer working at this pace

The Ugly:

My toe-nails | My eyebrows.
Peeling polish | Bushy

 

Jane Austen Bookclub

I watched this movie for the 1st time the other night & loved it.
I have never read a single book of Jane Austen's. I have tried a few times, but got bored.

After watching the movie, they have inspired me to try again.Jane Austen can't be 1 of the authors to read & be bad... Perhaps I just need to try harder.

I am being extremely optimistic, as it took me over 2 weeks to read the last book on account of me not having a life anymore, aka working all the time but I am going to attempt Emma.

Thanks to Wikipedia, here is a short idea of the book:

Emma is a novel about the perils of misconstrued romance. The novel was first published in December 1815. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively 'comedy of manners' among her characters.

Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like."

 In the very first sentence she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma, however, is also rather spoiled; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; and she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives and is often mistaken about the meanings of others' actions.

 

Proud Aunty

He's getting big & oh so cute!

Living next door to Alice - SA version

This song is a firm favourite for many age groups.
These are 2 of South Africa's best known singers who have recently done a cover & I adore their version:

More about the singers:

Heinz Winckler, winner of the 1st SA Idols competition, 4th in the World Idols competition is a down to earth, cute guy (I've had lunch with him, so I know!)
His voice is sexy & his smile is sexier.

Nicholis Louw is a very energetic performer who has a huge following in South Africa. He also performs covers of Elvis Presley songs (sings them fantastically) and other english songs - 2 personal favourites: Purple Rain by Prince and Poison by Alice Cooper.

Lost Opportunities

I'm out the other night at Buddha Ta having one of their famous Candy Mojitos when a cute guy at the bar saunters over.
"that's an interesting drink" he says, "may I smell it?"
I start laughing and tell him that's the 1st time Ive heard that one, have a taste!
We get to talking & he is a confident, sexy, funny guy.
While he is giving me some of his background I am perving over all his muscles listening attentively & I am thinking to myself:

This is what flirting is like - I vaguely remember this feeling.... 

He asked my age where I gave the appropriate wide eyed look and he laughed and said, Don't worry, I can tell you are a gorgeous 21 year old. Charmer.
I got it on the nose by guessing that he was 27.

It was a friends birthday and after some more flirting & _ cute hand grabbing to emphasise his point - they moved on to the next place. He asked us to join them, but it being a work night & me having flu, I had no intention of seeing him there.

I waved goodbye and later (and even now) I could have kicked myself for letting him go without getting his number or his surname (for Facebook stalking) {facepalm}

So if any of you know a cute, well built Jonathan & brother Gus hailing from Chicago, family in the mining industry, now living in Ruimsig, South Africa, please tell him I want to find out if he kisses as good as he looks see him again.
 

Ryan Reynolds + Green Spandex = HOTNESS

I pledge allegiance to a lamp I got from a dying purple alien

Oh my aching ovaries.

This man makes me want to have babies! With him... obviously.

Finally got around to watching Green Lantern over the weekend & loved it. I can't figure out if I loved the movie as much as I loved the drool-worthy body of RR.
There was a part in the movie where my hormones literally raised my heartbeat and blood pressure GRRRRR!
A fair bit of both I am sure - his humour makes any movie watchable and the story behind Green Lantern is a good one: Will always wins against Fear

Having never watched Gossip Girl, I am newly introduced to Ms Blake Lively. Stunning lady, gorgeous body and sexy smile.
Chemistry between her & Ryan, I felt was lacking a bit, & I still hate her for getting to kiss him!
