I am back on nights this week so who knows what will be posted.. I can be ever so deep when I get tired.. I can also be a ratty bugger at times so please be prepared!
Today I have had a good think about my good points and my bad points. I used to think that one of my good points was that I could mould myself so as to fit in with people from all walks of life. The problem is that I was not able to limit this to just people within work or a social circle and if I was to go on a date with someone that I had absolutely nothing in common with, I still managed to scrape the tiny pieces together and even make out that I shared their opinion on matters that I had my own very different view on. It was as if it was a challenge to get them to fall for me. I know that this happened right up until after my ex (who was a very hard nut to crack!) I suppose that it was our relationship that woke me up to the fact that sometimes you have to just be yourself, otherwise you will end up with someone that you love, but whom you dont like and who doesnt like you back. I told myself that the next time I met someone that the main thing I wanted was for them to find me and my stupid little ways funny and to find me attractive and to fall in love with me and not the picture that I painted of "me".
Of course, I had to find the person attractive too.. I have always said that I havent got a specific type but I tend to like guys with darker hair, a nice smile and nice eyes and always hope for -but rarely get- an amazing personality and sense of humour (This is beginning to read like a dodgy gaydar profile...Ill shush..)
So far with Andrew things are going really really well and I can 100% say that I have been myself.. it helps that he is funny, polite, caring, charming (Not a description that you would come across very often) loving, kind, considerate and also happens to be very very handsome.. It also helps that all of my family and a couple of mates that I have introduced him to absolutely adore him. He also thinks of the little things that I think of.. for our one week anniversary he got me a teddy in a gorgeous box and a card. It was the words on the card that meant the most to me though... I love a bit of sloppyness I do! 
So what is my plan of action to keep this perfect man? Well it certainly wont be my dashing personality.. Its is actually a lot more simple than you would think. All you need is a kellogs cornflake box, some rope and a wooden stool. I will of course, stay betrothed with him for as long as he will put up with me and then if he tries to escape, I will pop the cornflake box on my head (all baddies have to wear a hat) and then rugby tackle him and tie him up with the rope, sit him on the stool and lock him in the pantry until he changes his mind and wants to marry me again! 
I like to think that since I have met Andy, I have been quite good with my friends and have kept in touch with everyone etc. That is how I want it to be. A friend of mine got back with his ex yesterday and even though he had planned to come with us to Manchester this weekend has cancelled on us because he is having a coupley weekend instead. I had offered for his bf to come along but it seems that whatever my suggestion would have been, I would have been in the losing corner. I assume now that I probably wont hear anything from him until something goes wrong again. I suppose thats what friends are for though eh?? I dont wanna be that kind of friend but am starting to understand how hard it is to juggle a relationship, friends, family, and a job with dodgy hours. I only really have 2 days a week where I can see my friends, my bf and catch up with my sister and baby Jaya and dad and julie... it isnt an easy task i tell thee and today after a couple of little niggles from a couple of mates I was in such a bad mood. Sometimes I feel that no matter what I do, I cant do right for doing wrong and only after over an hour of counselling from Andrew did he assure me that I could juggle everything like a true professional. I even hope to meet some of his friends before the year 2010 as he talks about them a lot and they all sound lovely!
Is this been a bit deep... I may come back and delete it tomorrow... Then again, I may keep it.. Its good to read back on waffle..
