It's Written In The Stars... Apparently

Dear Anyone,

I received a press release today on behalf of Russell Grant (www.russellgrant.com), the famed British astrologer, and this is apparently what 2011 has in store for me as a Capricorn:

Unless you are careful, your love life could be eclipsed by your professional success in 2011. (Woohoo!). While you'll attract plenty of admirers, it will be difficult to find someone who is worthy of you. (This explains the bad choices I've been making!). Beware of opportunists who desire your company for fame, money or status. (Me??) You're sure to attract lots of admiring glances throughout February, when your sex appeal will be at an all time high. (Glances don't equal Valentine's treats). Still, any dates you go on in the first five months of the year won't emit sparks. (Then what's the bloody point??). You may embark on a promising affair between early June and the end of the year, but try to keep things casual. This isn't the year to make serious commitment. (Well, that shoots my desire to get married in August to shit..) Still you can have lots of fun with your other half, especially if you team up with a velvet-voiced sensualist. (Que?) Although their lifestyle may seem extravagant to you, the two of you share a deep appreciation for the finer things in life. If you're already in a relationship, schedule a romantic break for two in December.


Well.... I don't know whether it's a good or bad thing that I don't believe in horoscopes...

That's The End Of That Then..

Dear Anyone,

I've been in two minds about reporting this, because... really... well... it's no biggie to be honest. But for the sake of keeping you up to speed: I was chatting to Muscle on Facebook the other day, and he kinda threw into the conversation that he's seeing someone now. My stomach did a little flip for a second, and obviously a million questions and thoughts went through my mind, a few of them cuss words (after all I am a human with feelings!) but at the end of the day, it is what it is. I know I said I was leaving him in 09 and I kind of did in that I wasn't going to be pursuing anything with him, but... you know...

Oh well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be me...

Along I plod...

Dreams Can Come True (Really?!)

Dear Anyone,


I had a dream about Boy Wonder last night, and it was so vivid and real, that when I woke up I was slightly confused as to where I was (still in Ghana). Before your mind runs away with you, the dream wasn't in the slightest bit dirty. It was just one of those where he was being really sweet and gentlemanly, and all I really remember was that we were at an event and I had to leave, so he walked with me to the tube station, and even paid for a ticket so that he could wait on the platform with me (?). Weird, I know.


Now it has kinda taken me back to that funk where I start wondering when it's gonna happen for me. I won't bore you with the same ole same ole moaning. There are a couple of guys who have shown interest in me, but I'm just not feeling them like that, and I won't force myself to either.

A couple months ago I was supposed to go on a second date with Angelfish, and this was after messenger conversations here and there, where he had seemed to discover the art of flirting. It didn't actually do that much for me, but I gave him 'B' for effort. This was also after he had posted a status saying: "Sorry I don't do chasing", which I then asked him about. He said he was referring to women, so I told him that there is a difference between 'chasing' and 'making an effort'. He then changed his status to: "Sorry I don't do chasing, but I do make an effort". Bull. Anyway, we'd agreed to meet on a Friday evening, and he asked me what I wanted to do, so I said maybe a restaurant or cinema. He suggested a bar near his place (which is in the extreme north of London and I'm south) and said that if I get wasted I'm welcome to stay over at his, because he has a spare room. Since I wasn't just born the day before, I politely declined that offer and suggested we meet somewhere a little more central to both our locations, and he said he'd find somewhere. All good so far. Then four days before the date, I received this message:

"Hi been thinking and it has come to light the distance between us is going to be an issue so maybe we should leave Friday, as from a relationship perspective I can see this being a problem. Hopefully we can be cool on messenger?"

I simply replied: "Wow, ok fine."

All you can do is laugh really. Who said anything about a relationship?? This would have been the SECOND date. I can't say I was upset, all I could think was that I could see why he's single. He's difficult, not as easy-going as he thinks he is. So lo-and-behold I received this message from him yesterday:

"Hi just wanted to apologise for throwing a childish tamp in regards to us meeting up a few weeks back."

I simply replied: "It's cool, don't worry about it." I just hope he doesn't suggest we try and rearrange, because that ain't happening love. I will not be forcing something that is not there.

At this rate I might have to live vicariously through my dreams, because they don't seem to want to come true any time soon!
