Confused, Ariel...

It's nearing the end of the first month in 2009, and here I am still confused as ever. I thought that by being carefree and fun, I wouldn't care anymore. And I'd be able to just date and...basiclly have fun.

But NO. It's Ariel you're talking about...
So, I went on a few dates with the tall guy. All he wanted was that thing that every guy wants. And now...I've managed to leave my nice coat at his freakin house! Crap, I've got to get that.

And Beanie Boy...Well, we had a relationship talk the other day...He wants to take things slow, but he really likes me...Well, at the time of the conversation I was thinking (Well, I'm dating two guys right now..So, I should take things slow...No need to commit...) and then (it hit me...I really do like this guy, and now I'm probably going to be hurt...) So, I should probably be honest with him about wanting to be in a relationship. This isn't ok with me, not being in one...But I want to take it slow too, because I don't want to be in another bad relationship.
Confused...I am so Confused...

Packing 2008 away, bring on 2009....

The lovely Snow White here,

Is this year over yet? I’m ready to pack 2008 away and bring out the new 2009. It’s always refreshing starting a new year, looking at all the possibilities of what’s to come. Maybe this will be the year I find my prince. I won’t keep my fingers crossed though. I’m in no rush but at times I sit back I wonder what the hell I’m doing wrong. I’m hanging with a bunch of friends tonight and couldn’t be happier that I am starting the New Year with them instead of some stupid boy I will probably never see again.

The problem though with spending New Years with friends and only friends (no outside people – so there’s no possible way that I am going to meet someone new) is the kiss. You know the one where everyone screams “Happy New Year” and then you kiss the person you are with. Well this year there is no person to kiss, other than my friend that I am moving in with– at least the boys will get a kick out of it, who doesn’t like girl-on-girl action? Oh, well at least it’s something right?

This year has been an extremely hard one for me in the relationship department. Trying to get over and move on from The Ex has proved to be much harder than I originally thought ten months ago. I’ve dated a couple people off and on – There was The Drunk, who you can tell by his name was a no brainer to get rid of. Very childish and one of the biggest light-weights I’ve ever met. It’s pretty sad when your 5’ girl-friend can out drink a grown man. There were lots of random guys met at bars that were fun to hangout with that night where I had the fullest intention of waking up and calling the next day but never did, most likely because when I woke up I realized I wasn’t that interested.

Then there is Gym Monkey who I would never be able to have a relationship with but is lots of fun to mess around with. We are two completely different people who could never have a serious relationship. I am happy with our relationship as it is, no strings can be a wonderful thing now and again. It works for us both. Anyways that pretty much sums up my pathetic love life of 2008 – one of the worst so far. So I’m packing it up tonight and shoving it in the back of my closet where it will collect dust and be forgotten. Let’s hope that 2009 doesn’t get shoved in there next to it. I can hope at least……..

Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year and may it bring everything you wish or hope for. I know I’m happy to see it’s finally here.

Reflection of the Dating Year 2008

Hello to Everyone,

I'd like to take some time to reflect on my dating life in 2008. Basically, let's review it and kiss it good bye, haha. Like I did all those guys! haha.

Ok, so I started the year strong dating a 22yr old Engineer. I was really into him, until he had some weird spastic outbursts. Nothing too bad, I just felt like I was dating a child. Although he was pretty hot and had good muscles. :)

Next was...Well, the boy next door. We did a lot together, until I went on my trip to Costa Rica and I realized that I don't really want someone like him. Plus, he was always more like a friend to me. I was never really attracted to him...(sad)...

Um, there's Costa Rica boys...

Then the Ginger Kid. Another youngin, pretty good looking. But not very commital to plans and he lived far away. About an hour...

Next, the stupid Sweater Vest. Barf! Or as one of my friend's called him, Frodo, haha. Man, I just can't get it right...

Now, I'm ending the year with the mind frame of live fun and care free. I'm dating a guy from school, Beanie Boy. I like him. He actually didn't wear a beanie on our date last night, shocking, I know. I laugh and can be a complete moron, and he doesn't care. And we get along really well.

But...Living the carefree, fun lifestyle that I decided to do, and not putting all of my eggs in one basket, so to speak...I'm dating someone else too. Yikes! Crazy, I know...

So we'll see what happens, more to come on that next week... I wish you all a wonderful New Year's eve and fabulous things to come in 2009!

Ciao,
Ariel

How old am I again???

Snow White here......

Went to see Four Christmases with Gym Monkey last week. Um, I cant tell you if it was good or not.........

I will say there were only 7 other people in the theater with us.... We were in the very back row....... We didn' pay any attention during entire first 45 minutes.......

All I can say is that I had lots of fun.......The movie - not so great.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas!!!!

2nd Date-Beanie Boy

Okay, so I went on a second date with Beanie Boy. I would consider it a pretty good date, because he ended up working late, and was constantly calling me to make sure I knew what was going on. To me this says, good communicator. Plus he's always asking me personal questions like "what's my middle name" and "what does your Dad do?" These aren't questions that guys usually ask.

So our second date was pretty simple. We went to the movies and saw 4 Christmases. It was pretty funny, and we laughed the whole time. At the end we had sort of an awkward kiss. I think it's mostly because of the height difference. I wasn't paying attention, and there's all that space between us. And so he went to kiss me, and...Well let's just say it was awkward, so I looked at him and said "Oh, come here" And we had a quick little kiss. I know, I was kind of nervous, about making a fool of myself so I didn't mind much.

Things are good. But we'll see. I'm giving it 30 days of carefree before I get stressed about anything. Well, that's the plan anyway.

More to come,

The Past 3 Months....

Hi guys it's Cinderella...remember me?!! After being called out by Snow White I figured I needed to get my ass onto our blog and bring everyone up to date about my past 3 months :) Well the main reason I have gone missing is that yes, I have finally found a frog that could very well be my prince! Its been an awesome 3 months of being with... Mr.Right. He is the most caring, understanding, and sweetest man I have ever been with. He says what he means and is never misleading in his actions. He tells me he loves me, that I am the only girl he wants to be with and that I am amazing to him. We actually go out and do things like go to the aquarium or hiking at deception pass or just something as simple as making dinner and watching movies. I have never been with another person who wants to experience things other than parties, bars and drinking and drugs or who treats me as if I am just the person to fill in the blank space for a moment. I feel safe with him and know that I can count on him to be there and call me back when I call him for God's sake. I forgot how good it feels to have comfort of knowing that when you call a guy he is A) going to answer or B) going to call you back within the hour. Its really silly to think about what I got use to or gave excuses for when thinking back about all the guys that I dated when i was single. I was a complete idiot when thinking back on the last 2 years of dating.

I would let guys get away with so much.... like breaking dates over text messaging and then not answering the phone when I called to get an answer of what the hell was going on. Or being the week girlfriend and never the weekend date. Or being okay with a guy who told me that he couldn't date me anymore because he was thinking about his ex!! REALLY...I should of bitch slapped the lot of them and called it good, but instead I just took it up the ass and made them my friends. I was so naive and now can see my mistakes because Mr.Right has shown me what it really means to love someone and treat them as your equal.

Of course I have my reservations but just mainly because I am afraid to fully show everything about myself. I'm scared that there will be some aspect of me that isn't completely ideal to him. It's ridiculous to hold out because of this sort of notion but I can't help it. He seems to perfect to be real. Honestly I need to get over myself, but it's really hard when you have been disappointed in the male race!

That being said... I am still have a wonderful time being adored and cherished and living life to its fullest with Mr.Right. I have meet most of his family (that's another story) and I love them and his 41/2 yr old daughter. I feel right at home with them all, and I'm sure I will have many other things to blog about as this relationship develops... Until then just know I haven't forgotten about you, that I am just having a fabulous time!

Cinderella

Unexpected Date

First of all, I'd like to say kudos to Snow White for Moving on(:

Now, I've been through some annoying ups and downs with the frogs out there, so after Sweater Vest, I decided to give up the dating for awhile. I decided to not date anyone and to focus on school. Forget these guys, they only cause stress and heart ache for me, who needs'em.

So, it's finals week...I'm working my ass off trying to do my best work, and I find myself working on a 2min film. Well...I don't know anything about Apple computers and media software, so I've been working with this guy in my class. Let's call him...Beanie Boy (he's always wearing a beanie).

A little background information on Beanie Boy: Very tall about 6ft., brown eyes and hair, a little dorky, graduating from UW this Spring, 24years old, and a Libra. I do know more but we'll start with this, haha.

Ok, so I'm working in the Media Center with Beanie Boy all day. Probably like 8 hours. And before this we've been flirting in class. He likes to kick me like we're in elementry or something, and he compliments me in funny ways. I think that I find him adorable. Well, in these 8 hours he asks me random questions like he has a gay Aunt, and how do I feel about this. He wants to know how religious I am, and if I want kids. I swear, I told him my whole life story. I just honestly feel so comfortable around him.

Well, next thing you know it's night time and we decide to go have dinner. See, before, I just considered this a flirty thing at school. No big deal, I mean, I'm not dating anyone, right!? And next thing you know, I'm on an official dinner date! We're at dinner and he's asking me more about my life. No one does that! Not now anyway. It's great! And he of course picks up the check. He hugs me and wants to call me on winter break. Because we're not going to see eachother like at school.

It's just funny that one minute I swear men off and the next I'm on an unexpected date. WTH?
More to come on Beanie Boy.
