Marriage Material


What makes a man marriage material?

Funny isnt it, we the fairer sex unless your appetite is otherwise sexually whetted, or if you've taken a holy vow and live as a nun, or decided to stay a Ms all your life, will more than likely end up with another one of our earthly co - hibitors namley our more yang energy, the Alpha Male, and with that in mind, how many of us actually take the time to ponder, what kind of man it is we want to pair up with.

Now many of you may be saying, Yes, of course ive thought about it, ive got lists and pages of attributes and boxes, the said male must tick to even be considered good material in my book!
and hopefully there will be others like me, who although yeah I have my preferances, clean undies, and more than 1 friend, have never took the time to actually be seriously considering, (now im growing up), what warrents ideals for a lifetime in my mind?

Now im not getting married, I havnt recieved a proposal, but im not expecting to be left on the probverbial shelf,and although i know we shouldnt expect too much, so as not to be dissapointed, I still think it an excellent idea to put it out there, even if just to clarify it for myself, what id like, expect and ideally, love to be lumbered with.

Okay so first of all im going to suppose a scenario of what it might be like to be married, and the duties i may have to undertake, and i will take it from there, you see I know i want someone who is my equal, a forward thinking man so as not to be left with someone who thinks that me and the kitchen have a closer relationship than i with my beloved, ( the opposite to this would be, someone who still thinks a womans place is by the sink, ideally like to be with someone where we share the good times and the bad, eg share the cleaning, and share the channel remote.

cooking - a man who likes to cook, and can, and someone, who likes eating out, and doesnt mean out of a carton.
As for cleaning - someone who is willing to pick up a mop and when i mention its bagless doesnt think im missing something to go with my shoes.
Sex - a man who wants it when i do, but doesnt moan if ure not feeling it on occasion.
Thoughts on kids, someone who also wants a little us or two, and also doesnt liken the sound of a baby crying to that of nails being scrapped down a blackboard! (by an ex,ive heard it said)
Money, someone who likes to share, not whats mine is theirs and whats theirs is theirs! Also would be handy to have someone who is good with money, doesnt gamble often, where money doesnt burn a hole in their pockets.

Okay so thats the house, kids and material subjects covered, now for personal attributes, someone kind, loving, funny, playful, sexy, someone i can admire for his sense of fairness, his ability to see thebigger picture, someone friendly and likeable, someone other centered, whos clever, and quick, a man with good morals, and someone whos maybe experienced life, so has some scope on the big bad world, someone i can learn from, someone i can grow with, a man who is trustworthy and trusting, awareness of life, an ability to question life, someone strong of mind and of will.

thats just for starters, i guess some could say its a tall order, but i believe that so long as you know, or have at least a rough guide of what your looking for and even better what your not looking for, we have here a fighting chance of getting it... or the option is never to give this another thought and then wonder why we end up with someone who doesnt float our boat, perhaps someone our friends or family might go for, someone who we think fits the bill becasue of what we see on the tv, or what we have read in a magazine, its all about personal preference, i mean i dont want to be with someone who spends longer looking in the mirror than i do, but another woman might like the chance to swap GHD techniques with their beau, bottom line is, its a pretty good idea to have at least given the time it takes to read this to put some thought into it, and at least that way you can only blame yourself if you get something from your worst nightmare.

Sharing a bed


Okay so sharing a bed, a double bed, its hot so we have sheets, 1000 count egyptian cotton might i add.....we have shared this bed for many a night, all of a sudden its not big enough, have i put on weight, is my hair, which is really in need of a cut that big?

whats going on here, all of a sudden i feel like ive got to sleep right on the edge of the bed, no what happened is, i fell asleep last night and woke up to Billy saying im taking over the bed, soooo i have a feel around in the dark, u know body to edge of bed ratio, and find im not even half way across the bed, so i say so in a sleeping stupor, and he said that i was a second ago, and i say that ive not even moved, i dont know if i have or not i was asleep, but it annoys me so i get a bit arsy, anyway hes fidgeting away, so im fidgeting back, and accidently on purpose elbow him, i meant to but it was accidental how hard i came into contact.....so he gets a bit mad, which he hardly ever does, and i throw a paddy, and give him all the covers and get the duvet from under the bed.... you see the night before i stole all the covers apparently, maybe its becuase we have the 1000 count on, but i need more of it! i think what might of happened is, in my sleep billy has pulled on the sheets and i have sleepelly yanked them back, or maybe been pulled over his side of the bed by the fact he was holding on so tightly as to not have to suffer cold night as he had the previous night..... i know hard to follow isnt it.

i think he might be a little annoyed with me, as he has got up this morning, with no hint of the usual cup o tea!

im hungry i guess i better put on my bravest face and go and make myself some tea and breakfast, im sure he wont be that mad, its just my own mood ill have to deal with..

night time, night time, is meant to be,
sleeping, slumber etc etc

miserable


Hmmmmm lets see, not sure what is wrong with me the past couple of days, OK run down of the last week, had an amazing time in the Daintree rain forest with my boyfriend Billy, now back to Byron home sweet home, maybe I'm missing my family, maybe I'm missing my friends....life is meant to be better out here, better weather, better prospects, the love of my life is out here, so why today do i feel so down and out, I'm usually the one who's positive, but not recently, i know I'm not missing out on anything in Manchester, i know if i went back home now, i wouldn't be any happier, back to what I've always known, nothing new....

maybe I'm not trying hard enough to look for positive things, lets make a list

* great weather
* Billy's here
* Ive got part time work
* I'm healthy
* ................

list of what i have in manchester

* friends
* family

hmmmmmmmm not alot in it really, nothing to really go back for,
i guess the transition from uk to oz was always going to be hard, i guess also that waiting 8 months to come back, i should be more grateful for where i am, theres nothing wrong here, no reason why im bored, why am i bored?

im bored because, ive got none of my good friends here telling me how great i am, im losing my suntan, ive no where to go, nothing to do, how can i be so bloody unhappy, im not depressed or anything, i just cant seem to raise any momentum, not been out the house for 2 days, billy says ive got cabin fever, its not that, where can i go though, we have money, i can always have money off billy, but theres no where to go, no one to do anything with.... at least at home i could pop round to a mates, smoke some weed, chat some shit, but then what, i was doing a job i hated, well i didnt hate it but baggage reclaim at the airport isnt the most exciting job ive ever done, the hours were good though, and the money wasnt bad.

I think it might be a mixture of things, eg i dont know how everything is going to pan out, im not sure what will happen after my visa expires, im not sure what im going to do as a career, does everyone feel like this, just before they turn 28?? what is it, im normally pretty clued up with where im going and what im doing, i feel like im back when i was 20 worrying i was going to end up in the taxi office for the rest of my life.... but u know thngs happen, and u move right along where your meant to go.....

so get philosophical about it, i know its all a learning curve that thngs will work out perfectly, but at the moment i cant see it, as im too caught up in the what ifs and maybes???

thinking too much, thats a problem of mine, and thinking the world revolves around me, maybe i should try looking and thinking about how my behaviour could be effecting billy right about now, i mean who wants to look at my miserable face!

miserable face, miserable face, wheres the smile gone, cant u take the pace?
are you worrying for nothing, are you being daft,
your acting like your on a sinking ship, without a raft!

put the smile back where it should be, your making billy down too look see,
hes trying his best, make sure your okay, all u can do, is look down and say.
nothing, none plus not even a reaction, whats going on, does it bring satisfaction?
to be so miserable, got nothing to say, wont look in his eye, wont look his way.

Your only hurting yourself when your acting this way, its now way to act, and its not okay
pull yourself together, crack a smile and maybe, you'll feel better, just pretend and youll see.
