Situations

I have two. I collect them.

NaNoWriMo - I can’t believe the hype has started already. I have signed up. I have thought about it. I have gotten excited. I have doubted myself. And I am still not quite sure that this novel idea (which was last years’ failed attempt) will keep me going for 50,000 words. I will have to mull over the idea and see if I can uncover any really clever plot twists or completely re-write the idea altogether. At least this year I won’t be foiled by a University course, or influenza (I hope).

On a completely different topic, I now understand what it means to ‘dance the night away’ with someone. Whoever wrote the song ‘I could have danced all night’ has obviously not tried it with Modern Jive. I am so unfit. That is entirely my own fault. And so is the situation I find myself in. Girl meets man, man dances girl off feet, man walks girl to her car, man kisses girl, girl notices man has ‘in a relationship’ on his facebook, girl does not confront man (yet). Girl instead agrees to go to the cinema with man and possibly a dance on Saturday, and even lunch, if she fancies driving all the way to his work for his lunch break.

I really don’t know how I get myself into these situations.

Facebook is evil. That is my conclusion to this short but turbid post. And it should be destroyed.
Except that, without it, millions of people would have nothing to do all day.
