Le sigh...le frustration.

Yes, I promise my Nuit Blanche post is coming..I've just had some back-and-forth on ethics in posting a pic..you'll see what I mean when I post it (clearly, ethics lost the battle).

But first, boys. Ah, boys. The cliché phrase "you can't live with them, you can't live without them," has so much truth to it, doesn't it? Let me begin by saying that I do love boys, all kinds of boys, all shapes and sizes of boys (I know what you're thinking right now and shame on your dirty mind!), and especially the yummy boys. At the same time, though, they frustrate the hell out of me and sometimes I just want to punch-their-faces-in-until-they're-bruised-and-battered-and-are-on-their-knees-in-tears-and-crying-like-a-baby. Why all this anger you ask? Well, it's quite simple: the man-dar (think man + radar, if you're having difficulty). The man-dar, in my absolutely non-professional and psychotic opinion, is a man's ability to sense when you're not interested in them, thus resulting in their sudden overwhelming urge to hit on you...just for kicks. Now, many advice columnists and "experts" on telling women how they should behave in order to snag a man would tell you that this man-dar phenomenon might be due to the competitive nature of men, and their desire for a challenge. While this may be the case, I don't really care. I'm not interested in figuring out why it occurs, and why men come at you in floods rather than in a steady stream. I just want it to stop. In the last few weeks, I have been inundated with some of the most hilarious, inspiring, flattering and also the most pathetic, pick-up lines you can imagine and my question is, where have they all been in the last year?!? Why, when I am no longer interested in any way, shape or form, must they come in droves? Either maintain consistency, or just stop. I'm not interested in a flood after a drought, I just like consistent rainfall...it makes for a healthier, happier me.
