My cousin is getting married. She is a few years older than me. She has been seeing her fella for about 10 years? Maybe a little less. They live together. They did split up for a while, due to erm....fear of commitment? I think that was the terminology used. Anyway, now they are getting married. The wedding of the century. On Sept 11th (hmm) they will tie the knot. This wedding has taken three years to plan. It has cost ALOT of money, and they are all excited, they can't wait. Now I am just a m...

I am a bit of a fiesty chick. Shocking I know. It is true though. I speak my mind, and I won't back down, and if I am challenged I will stand my ground. I think it is the best way to be. Alot of the time when I am introduced to new people, I can be a little cheeky, and my sense of humour is naturally sarcastic, and some people just don't know how to take it. Alot of the males I am friends with now have commented that on first meeting me they didn't like me, and it is only over time that they ha...

When I was younger I believed in fairytales. That a nice, kind man would come and find me. We would fall in love. Get married. Have children, and live happily ever after. Then the cold, harsh realities of life grabbed me by the throat, and have been choking me ever since. I had become rather jaded by the dating game. Desperately seeking the nice guys, and always ending up with the sometimes more exciting, but unfortunately more heart breaking bad boys. So what's a girl to do? Well unfortunately...

Are men and women capable of friendship? A friendship that is purely based on a mutual respect and likeness. Nothing at all is sexually orientated, and it is completely innocent. It isn't because they are interested in exchanging bodily fluids with each other. They don't want to have kids, and make a life together. They are just simply friends, and that is it. Why does that appear to be such a problem for people to believe. I have a friend who is male, and he firmly believes that men and women ...

I don't really believe in love at first sight. I think there is much more to love than your eyes meeting across a crowded room, and the crowds suddenly parting in front of you, and forming a path to the love of your life. I don't buy it, sorry. I think that you can be instantly attracted to someone and you can get that feeling of lust, a feeling many people seem to confuse with actually loving someone. I believe that love is something that you build on, over time, and eventually love someone. Y...

My sisters fella recently got himself online. It is a relatively new concept to him, as he is somewhat of a techno-phob, so it is quite a long process trying to get him to do things, and get into it. Slowly but surely he has found his feet on it, and he especially likes playing online games, and chatting to people, and basically just killing time. Nothing wrong with that, right? My sister has a slight problem with him talking to people online, and to be honest I don't really understand it. She ...

I have never had a one night stand. I've had the opportunity to do it. Many times, and I have never wished to engage in such activities. Especially when I was going through college and you was out every weekend, and it was in your face all the time. The meat market feel of a night club. Like everyone was just eyeing up their next conquest, and didn't really have much else in mind. I always went out to have a good time. To get my ass on the dance floor, and shake it, and forget all the stress of...

Love is all about balance. Getting things just right. Give and take between two people. Balance of trust. Balance of physical attraction. Just an all round good feel. I was talking to my friends bf today. Nice boy. The word 'boy' is key here. I actually like him. I think he cares about my friend, and has genuine good intentions towards her. For that, in my book he is a good guy. However, I am guilty of sometimes pushing my opinions down other peoples throats, and just jumping all ...

Sometimes I just don't understand my generation. Maybe that's because I'm really a 62 year old, stuck in a 22 year olds body. Maybe it is the people that I associate with. I don't know. I'm at a loss though, I really am. I'm not sure if it's just me or not, so let me share with you..... My friend went on a date. Now for starters my friend doesn't really do dates. She's more of buy me a few drinks and take me home kind of girl. As are, alot of people I know. They seem to miss out o...

After hearing the sad news about Heather Mills and Sir Paul McCartney, and their divorce, it got me thinking about marriage. Many people think that Heather was only ever with him for his money. Well I suppose that is something we will never know. She had a baby with this man and spent 4 years (ish) with him. So I guess there was some feelings there. However, she is set to recieve quite a settlement deal. If it was true love would she take all that money? Or would she accept just enoug...
