Hello! I'm single AND still got it..!

So... I'm relatively slow on the uptake with all this blogging malarky, afterall, I'm a single thirtysomething with a hectic lifestyle - where on earth would I find the time to write anything!? Quite a few of my friends have started with the whole blog thing so I thought it was time to take the plunge because some of the escapades of this particular singleton have been to the great merriment of some of my closest friends. Some of which have even said to me "You should write a book!"

My life currently finds me:

a) Single - and yes, I never thought I'd say it, but I'm quite happy being this way (for now). It seems to afford me 'powers'. It compels either great jealousy (haha!) or a certain type of attraction. An attraction that seems to fall into two different sorts; a pure lustful sort of attraction and the other a more adoration type of attraction. Both of which I am having a fairly nice time reveling in when they come about! There's currently about half a dozen 'suitors' in varying levels of connection with me (I'll introduce them all in due time). All are keen enough, or so it would seem. I'm enjoying doing the 'dance' of the independent single woman with my social diary. At the moment if I want someone nice to go to dinner with or the pictures or just hang out with, I think I could have my pick. Not that I'm that sort of woman you understand ; )

b) Working my notice - and trying not to panic too much. I feel like I'm possibly stood on the edge of a great precipice. It's going to be fall into the abyss or take flight. Personally I'm hoping it's the latter... and believe me, if the job in Warsaw or Dubai comes up - I'm off!!

and c) Busy - never has my life been so 'full'. I was on the phone last night to a potential suitor (we'll call him Suitor B, but only because I'm saving suitor A for later). Suitor B (35) exclaimed that I was a difficult girl to try and get a date with because my social diary is so full! I told him I make no apology for that.. it's just how I'm choosing to live my life right now. He said he understood but would enjoy rising to the challenge (take that as you will!!?). He's a lovely guy so he's penned (not pencilled) in my diary in a couple of weeks.

So I am single, not-so-secure and socially hard to get hold of... is that good or bad? Who knows. One thing I do know is that I'm finding the hurt from the start of 2008, although still raising it's head every now and again, is being flattened quite effectively through this course of action. And it's enjoyable too! This year my accomplishments have been: Moving into my little rented apartment, making some lovely lovely lovely new friends and re-acquainting with some equally lovely old ones, getting a big tattoo, learning some new skills (lampworking) and climbing some of the tallest peaks in the UK !!!

Oh and this year I also got back on a bike (after about 10years!) and have done what I consider to be a major amount of miles (62miles in one go alone!). Those of you that know me realise I'm quite physically active and my competitiveness has grown quite considerably over the last few months due mostly to the company I have been keeping when jogging up hills etc; they're buggers for the 'race to the finish line'. It's all good fun.

So in the chase for still having "it" - I suppose having fun is what it's all about, isn't it?
