Choices abound!

I bought a computer for my new bike last night - and tried to fit it! Haha, what a mistake that was at 10pm! Don't get me wrong, I love gadgetry and I knew straight away that I wanted one of these. Christ, I haven't even got lights for it yet and I have a cyclometer and also now one of those snazzy looking mutli-tool things with umpteen allen keys and various other implements for 'fiddling' with your setup.

So, at approximately 10.23pm (!) I gave up on the fitting the gadget to my handlebars as I realised I didn't have an engineering degree to fit it...! I did however work out the circumference of my wheel using about the only formula I remember from Maths lessons at high school (apparently I'll need that). I'll fit it at the weekend perhaps, when I'm not preoccupied with other things.

And the reason for the faff last night? I've been invited by Wolves Wanderer to go to his house after work for a ride (his words, not mine! LOL) and he's also going to cook a meal for us. How sweet eh? (he gets back from his holiday this afternoon). I packed a bag last night with a change of clothes for riding and all the essentials, should I end up staying over (I mean... a meal AND wine.....!?). So this morning, I made myself late by wrestling my bike into the back of my car. It must've looked quite comical to anyone who happened to be watching!

So, that aside. I also have another date! Passion Man has alluded a few times to wanting to meet up at some point. So I've agreed to luncheon at the weekend.

I mean a girl needs choices, right?

So on Sunday, I'll be getting myself primped and preened for that most important of meetings... the first one! I just need to decide where to go. We've agreed the location, a fairly local outlet place that has loads of eateries... I should pick carefully because:

a) I'm on a diet! (who the hell isn't these days) AND I've stuffed my face this week AND I bet the meal with WolvesWanderer isn't going to following my diet plan AT ALL!

and

b) What do you eat in front of someone that you're meeting for the first time when you don't want to be embarrassed? Spaghetti down your chin or tussling with food before flicking it across the room from your fork is not a good look, I don't care how kooky I am otherwise!

I'm sure I'll think of something, maybe I'll pick somewhere where I can see him arrive, or that has a bar I can sit at. Whoever thought I'd be thinking about so many details. Tell you what though, it all goes out of the window on about date three and the will to primp & preen is slightly marred by the fact that - I just can't be bothered with all that shite normally! haha!!

I have done quite a bit of women watching of late.... seems a lot of girls that may very likely be single spend a lot, and I mean A LOT of time and effort on their appearance when leaving the house. I mean - have you seen the role models out there. Ms Cole for instance, although seemingly very pretty and weighing in at less than 6 stones (apparently). I tried my hand the other night at applying a similar amount of make up that she wears - have you seen all that eyeliner!? Anyway, I'm no makeup artiste, but to be fair, I'm probably better than most. Jesus, it's not becoming for normal everyday girls to wear that much slap!

It has actually made me question whether my day in - day out ensemble of jeans and tshirt should be addressed also.... My friends know that I'm not that fussed by fashion per se - I mean, I do sometimes, but I'll equally go out for a night (like I did last saturday) in jeans and a vest.

Everything in life is about choices. Fact.

I always try to think 'sexy', especially when out at night. Haha, it's even been commented on that I'm a cross between Eliva, Lara Croft and Wonder Woman (that was courtesy of The Rhino). But I have a style, if you can call it that, of my own and I don't really care if Kate Moss is launching a new range of (oooh) must have clothes at Primark or wherever. I mean, who the fuck over the age of 20 wears this kind of pische anyway. Certainly not a rock goddess like me! I like being individual so if that means I want to wear an old cutaway funky top with jeans and my FMB's then so be it. At least I don't subscribe like all the other sheep! Baaa!

Just re-read that it it makes me sound something akin to Waynetta Slob. I'm not I hasten to add, I just have a relaxed style and a job that allows me to be comfortably casual. A good friend of mine made me add this to my dating site profile 'an eclectic mix of rock chick meets bohemian hippy.

Screw fashion I say.

Hooray for doing what the hell you like...

PS. I just wanted to add.. I went to visit a good friend of mine last night who had her nose fixed yesterday. Think the "tampons" are coming out of her nose today, lol... I wish her all the best with the results and hope she's very happy. Those black eyes are beaut's though! Couldn't have done better myself!  ; )

PPS. Screw work - I'm clocking off early to go for my ride ; ) I'll let you all know how it went tomorrow....
