New Year- New strategy


The New Year is hurtling towards us, (along with my scary 'heading to late 20's' birthday) and it has left me pondering over my year of a pretty dire love life. I actually haven't been bothered about it until this very point but the festive season does weird things to you.
While trying to think of the 2010 highlights of this part of my life I realised they are very few and far between, take a look for yourself:
  • Opened the year- literally was New Years day-with a guy named after a popular car brand who could walk on his hands.- He won me over when he climbed up and down stairs on his paws. Shelf life- a few drunken meetings and many annoying texts- right up until last week.
  • Woke up with a cocktail barman from a bar near my house. Shelf life-one evening
  • Woke up with a cocktail barman that was also above barmans friend from the bar near my house. Shelf life- a few random nights
  • Began seeing a guy who had previously dated a porn star- I think his most proud achievement in life.
    He also had the honour of carrying me home from an all day drinking session after knowing me for a few weeks and witnessed my amazingly weak stomach as I gagged over the smell of something nasty that my cat had produced. Shelf life- 2 months.
  • Received an array of weird messages, gifts (including a giant candle sent to my work that cost £47.70) and pictures from a guy I dated the year before. Shelf life- continuous.
  • Woke up above a pub in the town I live with the live-in barman, with a pigeon flying around the living room, minus phone and minus dignity- I haven't been to said pub since- Shelf life- one very forgettable evening.
  • Dated a guy that organised gigs for a living- winner- he slagged off my favourite musician- loser. Shelf life-3 dates but I do still have his watch.
  • An incident with a scouser I met on the last train home- I can't go into details, I really don't want to re-live this, not my finest hour. Shelf life- 6 hours
  • An online sober date with drunken Dane Costa please view The Sober Date for specific details. Shelf life- 1 memorable date.
I could continue and add the many more disasters from 2010 but I am now getting depressed.

To conclude- I have spent far too much time in the pub hence all the barmen and the undisclosed 'incidents.' I now wish I had utilised these stories and started a blog earlier, at least you could have all been entertained from my misery.

If anyone could recommend some new tactics I can try to make the 2011 love life summary a little less dire, please do let me know, I promise to ensure it still has some comical value for the blog!

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to all you fellow bloggers/readers see you in 2011!

  5. The worrying thing this is the edited version, plenty more but too depressing. Hopefully a few more successful yet funny stories in 2011!

  6. We could really do with knowing the Scouser story first before we can work out how to help. Just so we have all the facts.

    Who am I kidding? I couldn't help. It'd be like the blind leading the blind!
