The moments of the weeks rising and falling for this girl is a common occurrence. She leads, as many of you know, an almost soap opera life. Most of the time its by proxy, sometimes is not, on occasion all hell breaks loose.
The past week has been a moderately emotional one and by and large [...]

the ladder theory
Posted in funnies, new things, sock stuff, the sock shop on October 27, 2007 | 1 Comment »
People- mainly men- are often impressed when they find out this girl knows the men-woman ladder theory. One can only assume it is something that men often snigger and and discuss amongst themselves without ever really sharing with their female counterparts. And so, for ages, women have been in the dark.
So, let this girl expound [...]

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have. – Abraham Lincoln
This girl was at lunch with Choir Mistress the other day catching up over bad Japanese food and questionable side dishes. Choir Mistress and this girl go back a long way and have one of those I-may-not-see-you-too-often -but-you-know-I’m-here kind of [...]

Since the time of the Fisherman, this girl has found what can only be described as a new lease of life. She eats better, she sleeps better. She no longer wakes in the middle of the night worrying and wondering. She doesn’t second guess herself. She’s learning to smile again- heck, she’s practically laughing her [...]
finally free

The past few days have been a strange mix of restlessness, nervousness and contained cautious excitement.
Restless because its been months (which this girl knows is not that long a time, but it has seemed so) since she filed to drop the blasted 60kg worth of dead weight and the “day of reckoning” was finally upon [...]
conversations about men (and women)
Posted in decluttering, friends, funnies, new things, sock stuff, the sock shop on October 20, 2007 | 19 Comments »
This girl caught up with Kit Kat Bandit and Golden Skull and it was an utter riot. They bitched, they ranted, they laughed and stuffed their faces. They updated each other on their lives: annulments (that’s only this girl), new housing situations, new jobs, turned down proposals and everything in between. Until they started talking [...]
the book of learnings; Part I

The countdown to the court date is drawing near and this girl is getting butterflies in her tummy. She’s good to go with the lawyers. She’s got her ever-steady Ninja set to go with her. She’s got all the paperwork done properly, and checked and double checked. She’s got backup papers ready to go as [...]
our character DNA

Over drinks with The Eggplant Project today, this girl brought up the idea of the “core” in each of us. The “who-we-are” at the heart of all that we do, say, think. The unmovable. The constant. Our inside. The part that will never change, will never falter, will always be there no matter what happens. [...]
the inadequacy of being this girl
Posted in emo-ments, just me, life learnings, new things on October 16, 2007 | 5 Comments »
She has said this often, but this girl’s life is beginning to look like a mini version of Days of our Lives. Its got its doses (sometimes far too many) of drama, the flashes of romance (not much these days but according to Mr. Toesocks…) and the many friends whose lives are also one big [...]
The fan club

This is totally hilarious.
No. This is f-ing totally hilarious.
This girl had recently started her facebook account and has been having a whale of a time catching up with old friends. Its also slightly easier to keep tabs and keep up with friends; and its loads more fun given she gets to poke and prod people [...]
the language we speak

In light of everything that is happening in this girl’s life, in the life of her friends and in the world, this song means a lot to this girl right now. This song was first shared with her by Big Brother eons ago and in a conversation with Paddle Boy, this girl was reminded of [...]
She’s getting a baby!

This girl is having getting a Baby!
A Baby Taylor that is. Its been a long seven year love affair with the Baby Taylor and she’s finally at the place where she has the time to learn to play it properly.
The whole affair with the Taylor began the first time she heard someone play on the [...]
the love of my life?
Posted in adventure, friends, funnies, sock stuff on October 8, 2007 | 3 Comments »
This girl will admit that she does have her impulsive side. Mostly, the impulsiveness comes with her love for shopping and usually involves bags, undergarments or food. Especially food. But today, she clocked her personal best, particularly since it involves men. Actually, one guy. Okay, two; well, it depends on how you see it.
So you [...]
the return to politics

Before you wonder why there’s a picture of a cat on this post as supposed to the usual socks picture, let this girl introduce you to Socks, the Clinton’s cat. So it counts, particularly in light of the “political” nature of this post.
The Staircase Master and this girl had gotten into a raging fight the [...]
closing time

The Ex has been giving this girl hell of late. There are the random text messages that aim to hurt and generally wreck havoc in this girl’s erstwhile new found peaceful life. Then there are the caustic, demanding and bossy calls about training (as though this girl owes it to The Company to still continue [...]
