Conversation with my mother

On FB, my mother and I had this conversation...the ugly cat is my mother - well, technically it's my cat Esme but it's my mom's profile picture at the moment.

Here goes:


also did you see Frankie the Capuchin monkey

No I didn't see Frankie...

it's on my wall - so cute!!!!

ok

Awww...cute monkey...Love the chirping sounds he makes.

I know! He made me happy :)

Looks like he enjoyed the blow dryer.

I know..I love him. Mom, can I have a monkey?

.NO

Chat conversation end

That pesky list

As per my last blog post I have developed a working list of what I'd expect in actually dating a guy.

1) Education/Smart - It's number 1 on my list because education is important and being smart is sexy. I want both.

2) Healthy - This does not mean a gym rat but I run and try to take care of myself, I'd hope someone did the same for me. No drugs, no smoking.

3) Likes pets - I have a turtle. He'll have to at least accept, if not love it. Same thing goes with dogs and cats. Snakes - no. Just no.

4) Drinking - If you're a nasty drunk, don't drink. Know how to handle your alcohol.

5) Has own friends - I don't want him around 24/7...have the 'boys' and I'll have the 'girls' and we'll meet up later and have a boy/girl moment.

6) Good kisser - If you cannot send shivers down my back, it's not going to work.

7) Manly man- This doesn't mean super-macho, beat people up...but know how to fix a toilet or faucet...I want to feel safe. If you're shorter than me, I don't feel safe (Unless you're a ninja). Don't be whiny...emotional, sure.

8) Temper in check - enough said.

9) If you take longer to get ready to go than I do, I'm sorry this won't work.

10) I am a girl. As one of my friends said "Girls are not F***ed up dudes, they're girls. Learn the art of wooing. (I love that word 'woo')

I'm sure there is more but sadly, I cannot think of any at the moment because I am staring at Ludwig von Turdle-Tinker. What a great pet.

The top ten reasons I'm giving up men again

Realistically, I tend to meet a lot of very interesting guys...once in a great while 'interesting' actually means "Cool guy that I could see myself dating" not "He just got out of the psych ward and his eyes are looking in different directions." The past couple of months I feel as though I've been saying the following constantly to many different guys:

-"No, I don't want to see your penis"

-"I don't care how big it is - I don't want to see it"

-"No, it's not the biggest I've ever seen"

-"If you don't get your hand off my ass, you'll be giving yourself head"

-"No I'm not gay, I'm just not into YOU in particular"

-"Fine, I'm gay...do you feel better about your masculinity?"

-"I don't care how fast your car/truck/motorcycle goes, don't care that you have a boat, don't care that you were just that cool in high school"

-"...if you haven't noticed, I'm more of a Happinez/BigTide girl - not Cougars/Tonic"

-"I'm really really not interested...really"

-"wow you're such a great...oh your boyfriend is into...nevermind"

Really, can I please just meet ONE good guy? I'm not asking for much - okay maybe I am. See next blog post for list of what I want in a man.

Shameless Plug

If anyone wants to follow me on Twitter and see my day to day life thoughts - including "I have to pee" and "Wish he didn't live in a different town #bootycall" (I was drinking at the time), please check me out at @TinkerTimes.

Oh Tonic

"Saint John’s biggest and best nightclub is the 3Mile’s Club Tonic with its beautiful European decor, high ceilings, spacious dance floor and fabulous atmosphere! This is our 25+ nightclub catering to the City's young professionals."
-Club Tonic website

I'm not how to say "Stay away from this place it's disgusting" but let me explain

1) You know it's going to be a good night when you look at the bouncer and say "seriously?" and he doesn't ID you...or not. I know I don't look younger than 19 but generally there's these pretty strict rules...

2) When a group of 10 or so girls BOLT from the place when the police show up saying "C'mon we really gotta go"...pretty sure they aren't felons but just underage.

3) When the bouncer rolls his eyes at a girls ID. Hint Hint: It's a fake. I know it is, you know it is, she's quaking in her dress that does not cover her underage ass. Kick her out.

4) When I feel overdressed...at a club...

5) When there's more groping than dancing.

6) When you sit on a seat and it's sticky.

7) When you leave the bar and you're still not feeling it even though there's been 4 shots and a drink in less than 1.5 hours.

8) When a guy picks a fight with a bunch of girls...yep, good call buddy.

Admittedly I had a wonderful night out with friends and was so glad to see my dear past-roommate Samantha Shauher (Awesome name, eh?). Just saying stay away from Tonic unless you want to be drenched in other people's sweat, beer and groped. If you're into that, head out!
