All The Small Things

Isn't it funny how things happen sometimes?

I went out with that tick tock person tonight for dinner, it was his birthday today. I took him a silly card and a muffin with a candle in it at lunch time. I got to light it with a blowtorch, because I didn't have matches, and neither did he. I've not used a blowtorch before, so that was cool. Dinner was nice, as always, and fun in that off centre weird kind of way that it always is. I always laugh so much when I'm with him. He's excellent company really.

Learned something interesting tonight. He had absolutely no idea what colour my eyes were. At all. None. He asked me what colour his eyes were, and I told him (we were driving home - it was dark so we couldn't cheat). I was right. He said that another friend of his had told him he was weird because he didn't notice what colour people's eyes were. That is bloody weird don't you think?

He had a guess at mine, and the best he could come up with was brown. Blue was his second guess. I ask you, brown eyes with my colouring? I'd look like a zombie-corpse-alien!!

For the record, my eyes are blue. Very blue.

Anyways, we had been talking briefly about different things, and at one point he said "You have so many men in your life, I can't keep up!"

HA, said I, There are no men in my life, only my dad.

And me! He say's.

Mmm. I don't know whether I'd count you or not, I replied with a smile.

We had been discussing two of my ex's, one who was in at my work this morning doing a job for me, and the other being Mr. D. (who is being a complete tool at the moment, refusing me access to Nicky and basically just behaving badly - but thats another story all together, and one I'm still to tender to write just yet.). This is what prompted the "too many men" comment.

So you can imagine my little smirk of silliness when tonight after being dropped off by the watchmaker, my phone beeped with a new message.

It was Bloke. He's back in town for a couple of days, on break. We're going to have lunch during the week. In town. In public.

Don't want to give the jackals any more gossip fodder if I can help it.

Maybe I do have too many men in my life... pity that they are all ex's or completely disinterested in dating me. Good thing my life is also full of excellent female friends, and some excellent always-platonic male friends, or I'd go blinking nuts!!
