Interesting Days

Life in the times it seems. As South Africa is hosting the world cup the duty of escourting foreigners around my town has fallen on my shoulders. Last night it was the epic game of Spain VS Portugal. Ironically, in my country there as SHIT LOADS of porras and hardly any spanish.

After picking some italian foreigners up for a night out we proceeded to watch the game at the italian club on a massive screen on a field. Wearing my spanish gear, i stuck out like a sore thumb. But low and behold, the crowd started to fill with more spain supporters and as a result i was NOT murdered when Spain won (what a relief right?).



That still left the issue of the italians. It is winter here, so forgive me, but i did feel like prettying myself up to go to a trendy club till early hours of the morning - yes i'm a grouch and i'm not even old ;-) In the end we took them to a rock/goth/ i actually don't know? club called "Doors" - named after "The doors" (self explanitry right?) I must admit, watching two sweetly plucked italians (one girl and one guy) who do 'physical education' try and blend in with a bunch of goths was amusing. Some may say that I am a bad host? I completely disagree, i was merely showing them the diversity of my land :-)



Driving them home and dropping them off I am quite certain they were relieved to be rid of us. Nevertheless, I am seeing them on thursday again! Hmmm.... what to plan?

I reserve judgement

Hmmm... so after chatting with one of my best girl friends (I say this becuase I really don't have many) i was stumped to discover how much she actually puts up with from her boyfriend in case she 'loses him'. This got me thinking, how many women are actually like this?

I know that i freally have no right to judge here from my moral pedestal, but seriously? You're scared to lose him? I just figure if he's doing all this now, what's gonna happen in a few years time? Will it have changed - the answer is very simply, "NO." I, however cannot be the one to tell her this. Some things people have to work out on their own. Does this make me a bad friend? I honestly don't know - perhaps this is why I only have male companions - they seem less full of drama. *Sigh* i don't know.

My first blog ever :-)

So i'm a newbie to this.... here goes.

I am currently working for Vox telecominications after a 4 year stint in the property industry, the family business crashed leaving us with more debt than the compnay was worth - joy :-) anyway, now with Vox and plan on studying english and journo next year.

Point of the story - i am going on holiday with my beloved boyfriend next week to the mountains (sigh) and am playing mad catch-up at the moment, trying to cram work in before i leave. While I am away i am supposed to be writing my synopsis for my manuscript so i can submit it - finally - and get some feedback. Perhaps i can make wallpaper out of the rejection letters? Hey - its's a pssibility considering i'm only 22 :-)

So the synopsis is kind of a big deal - it's what sells your book. No pressure right? funny strory. Anyway, my boyfriend and his friend are dragging both an x-box and a playstation 3 into the mountains to shoot at stuff - yes, the irony is not lost on me. So whilst they are playing with their toys i am supposed to be reading and writing. That is the plan anyway.
Keep you posted - i leave in 3 days. Despite it all, i am pretty excited - maybe we'll even get to see snow (a rare sight here).
