To be honest, this girl lives in a land that is largely boring. Its boring because nothing ever really happens. The structures that are in place are so solid that it hardly ever wavers. The system that keeps everything going is relatively well designed and its kinks are perpetually being straightened out. The machinery that [...]

is this mine?

The female species likes to buy things.
Females, unlike their male counterparts, like the idea of buying things. Its not so much the owning of the item of purchase, its the act of buying itself. Maybe there is something to be said about the art and science of buying something that make women go gaga. [...]
the pod, the music, the age

During her recent trip to New York, this girl bought herself a gorgeous black ipod which she proudly totes around in its utterly useless hot pink case. As with her usual bad luck with technology, this girl had problems syncing her songs into the pod, it kept jamming up six songs in. So, the following [...]
socks, books and the ivory tower

Few people know this but when this girl made the decision to leave The Company months ago, she had little plans of what to do next other than to recover physically (she had coughed out blood), emotionally (the issues with the hacksaw The Ex took to her esteem and her marriage) and spiritually (going back [...]
oh, no more calamine lotion…

When this girl was young, she spent three years in the Brownies. You know, the little girls in little brown uniforms; precursors to their big sister Girl Guides. The kind of program that made you dance round a toadstool singing some merry song, work at earning badges and promising to do your best, to do [...]
decluttering life

This girl has never thought that she was complicated or that her life was cluttered.
She always assumed (the big problem with assumptions eh?) that she was relatively straight forward and to the point. That by and large she was easy to read and basically she’s what you see is what you get. This girl doesn’t [...]
the serial monogamist

The Eggplant Project once told this girl that he was a serial monogamist.
Of course, she needs to qualify that he was half drunk and in one of his more alcohol induced philosophical moods so she’d take what he says with a pinch of salt and maybe a dash of pepper. She’d tarry to roll [...]
barefoot in the snow

Three years ago when this girl went to the States for this fancy mancy course with one Dr. Richard Bandler (father of NLP and all round life guru person) she met some of the neatest people a person could ever find. Notably, Staircase Master was one of them- this girl and Staircase Master spent many [...]
having a clue

Needless to say this year has been a big year.
Actually, to think about it, calling it a big year is an understatement.
It is many changes all squashed in one tiny span of time. It is having to make huge, multi-level long-reaching decisions in a heartbeat. It is having to do a stocktake in [...]
the things that hold us up

The girl had the chance to meet up with old friends today over great Italian food and wine. They wanted to buy her dinner because they had just heard about The Big Split and wanted to feed her in a show of support. And of course, to see that she’s really as alright as she [...]
wearing the socks on wrong

When this girl decided to leave The Company, she promised The Ex that she’d do another two trainings as an associate and the day of reckoning is upon her and this girl cannot believe how much she’s dreading the training. There was a time she truly loved training, it energized her- the planning and the [...]
sitting and waiting
Posted in chapters, just me, new things on September 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Its a good place to be, sitting and waiting, this girl has come to realise. Its a place where one really gets to see the world and just be. Its a refreshing change from her usual go-go-go move-move-move always doing something self and she is liking it more and more each day.
The Company- and [...]
tooth fairy, are you coming tonight?

The grand deed has been done. This girl is now wisdom teeth free. She went into the clinic to see about one tooth and the dentist decided after seeing the new x-rays and prodding about in this girl’s mouth, that both of them blasted wisdoms should come out. And so they did.
The whole process [...]
tooth fairy

This girl- if you haven’t already figured it out- is terrified of the dentist.
She blames the horrid witch of a woman who terrorised her entire class in grade/primary school as a child. The Mother had decided when this girl enrolled in school that it would be a good idea to sign her up for the [...]
mixed emotions
Posted in emo-ments, just me on September 15, 2007 | 3 Comments »
After much thought, this girl has decided that she’s not going to work for a while more. She knows that she’s been “resting” for a while now but she still feels that she’s not where she needs to be emotionally, physically and mentally.
For those wondering, she decided against going into a corporate America type [...]
