So, yeah, I've been a bit MIA this weekend, haven't I? Went to kaiberie's handfasting on Saturday, which was lovely--even the weather co-operated! And then on Sunday I pretty much laid around on my bed editing The Novel Formerly Known As Elfstone, but that's an entry for another journal. But hey, I'm really rested, at least! :D

Didn't go to beltane yesterday, though. Not on a night before a working day, and especially not after another late-ish night.

We watched Dr Who at the after-handfasting party, and um. Mickey! Squeee! "Oh, mate, the missus and the ex, welcome to every bloke's worst nightmare," all gleeful and shit, and he so deserved to get a bit of this own back. Heeee! I love him. And I want Jack to come back and, like, bond with him, for no particular reason at all. I'm weird, okay? Shut up.

I got a "woo" on OKCupid the other day, and I've yet to respond to it even though the woman sounds really interesting. Um. I kinda suck at this internet dating (or friendshipping) thing. *facepalm*

Don't worry I suck at reallife dating and friendshipping!

Taking time to respond to it probably makes you seem all mysterious and busy...or something.

See? What do I know?!

Oh, great, I've accidentally turned into a Rules girl, haven't I? *look of horror*

[dantesvendetta.livejournal.com]

Nah, the rules are frightening. Someone had a copy at work and it made me think it was some kind of cult with secret handshakes and everything.

*shudders*

Oh, yes. And just when I started to feel all smug about escaping it, what with the whole lesbian thing, they came out with a Rules For Queers, which pretty much seemed to come down to "Pick if you want to be The Guy or The Girl in the relationship, then apply The Rules," and um, yes. Scary shit.

Ha, don't worry, you're not the only lousy dater. I completely lose at relationships, both real ones and internet ones (and ones in between). I always show my hand way too early, just blurt everything out and pray that the other person will find that endearing rather than pathetic or obnoxious. I'm also known for saying exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time, and for sounding like a cheap Harlequin novel. Seriously, everything I know about romance I learned from watching Hollywood movies, which somehow results in people bursting out laughing rather than being touched when I try to be romantic.

I wonder if there's a Lousy Daters Anonymous somewhere. If so, I'd be their honorary member :p

I have th opposite problem--if I know someone is in love with me, I'll try to fall in love with them back, because it seems ... I dunno, like th polite thing to do? Which is stupid and doesn't work and is just asking for heartbreak and argh. Yes.

[perhael.livejournal.com]

Huh, I'll bet I'm the kind of person who makes people do that- be so obvious about me being in love with them that they feel like they have to reciprocate. And yeah, heartbreak. I'm really good at setting myself up for that sort of thing. *sigh*.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I'm ... getting slightly better about this, after learning my lesson the hard way. At least, I hope I'm getting better, sigh. This is why I should just not date at all, except without experience I may never learn how to do this properly, and ARGH!

And don't even get me started on the whole concept of dating, or I may never stop. I don't like this "dating" thing, I want to just hang out with people, and then once we fall in love and get together, is going to the movies together really a date? *headsplodey*

This whole socialising thing confuses me.

This whole socialising thing confuses me.
Ditto.

I don't think I've ever been on a 'date', like you said, once you're together with someone going to the movies together isn't really a date anymore.

This is why I should just not date at all, except without experience I may never learn how to do this properly, and ARGH!

I've given up on any kind of romantic interaction for now, and probably for a long time to come. I just... I'd feel like I'd be fooling myself, and cheating the other person. I know I'm way not ready or fit for a relationship, so any romantic gesture on my part would be leading somebody on. I have too much baggage (both romantic and otherwise) to make someone a good girlfriend.

Plus, there's the whole still being in love with my ex thing. *g*

MICKEY! Whee! And Rose/Sarah Jane! I loved the giggling over the Doctor. :)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Mickey is SO CUTE I cannae STAND IT! And the "Does he still stroke bits of the TARDIS?" "All the time! I'm like, do you two wanna be alone?" LOVE!

[carelessmemory.livejournal.com]

I love Mickey! I didn't at first, and I'm not sure when I started to but he's wicked. :) *giggles socks off* I was howling with laughter at the stroking line. BWAH!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I think for me it started when he clearly got over Rose. He just wants adventure! And now I'm imagining Jack coming back, and also doing the TARDIS-stroking thing, nd Rose and Mickey giggling about threesomes and such. :D
