I'm not the man you think I am...I am a poor freezingly cold soul...I have just discovered that prudence never pays. Now, we must wait for the right time

How I love all of the very simple things of life...

12:30 PM

Hi there! Did you miss me? Don't lie, I know you did.

As you can see, I abandoned the World Cup review thingy. All rather difficult in the end! Instead, I'll fill you in on my riveting life story, as per usual. Ho ho! Bet you can't wait...

Well, the major events in my life are, for once, quite interesting. At least I think so anyway. Read on, faithful leader, and your patience in me shall be rewarded.

On Thursday, June 13th, I had my graduation night. This meant I was all kilted out, just like last year, and received my leaving certificate and like. (Incidentally, I got awards in excellence in all my subjects. They obviously didn't see my answer paper to the Maths exam, then...) Anyway, we went to a hotel, with photos taken and a good time had by all. We had a nice dinner, and danced the night away (yes folks, JacquesTheLad was dancing. To Eminem. Well, dancing might not be the right word, but you get the drift).

After the hotel events finished at about midnight, I went to the after party, drinking my favourite drink (Budweiser) all night and getting drunk. I think I almost got back with my old girlfriend, which I'm not sure is a good thing or a bad thing (read on to judge for yourselves), but at the end of the night, we were sitting down (she told me to sit down, I obliged) and she leant her head against my shoulder. Probably just tired, probably (in fact, definitely) a bit drunk, but nonetheless. I staggered home (well, not staggered, but I wasn't exactly stone-cold sober) at 7am the next morning. Great night. Last time I'll see a lot of them. Hooray!

Oh, and then, couple of weeks ago, I had a big C nightmare which was so real (as in it did actually happen). Saturday, during work, I mention my graduation to her, and how one of my workmates (female, naturally) had sent a few messages to my phone whilst I was out, and I told her that I replied to them at the ungodly hour of 7am. Anyway, she then asks if me and my friend (Lubo, remember her?) were going out. Qutie why she asked this, I know not, as she knew Lubo had a boyfriend. I deny, and then she asks me if I fancy Lubo. Ludicrous! I wind her up (stupidly, now), and say yeah (in a sarcastic tone, I have to add). As Lubo passes later on, I kid on to C that "my heart skipped a beat". She interprets the wrong way, says "So you do fancy her???", to which I deny again.

She mentioned that she'd give Lubo a message, saying that we would make a nice couple. Anyway, I thought she would be kidding (as I was). But no, on Saturday night, I get a message on my phone from Lubo, saying "Jacques, I got your message from C, I'm really flattered, but I have a boyfriend..." I was shocked. So, my whole Saturday night was spent trying to persuade Lubo that the opposite was the case. Thankfully, she believed me, and we're friends again. C, however, we're not with. Quite why she sent Lubo a message saying that, I don't know. I mean, even if I did fancy Lubo, what benefits would telling her make, seeing as she already has a boyfriend? I'm not quite sure what C was trying to achieve by pulling the trick, but it failed anyway...I hadn't seen that side to her before as well. Oh well.

What else has happened...Ah yes. I think I may be going mental. As you may have gathered, I really get a bit over-passionate when I have a new fancy (hell, just look at the whole C debacle of yesteryear). It's happening again. Oh, but what initial to call this one? Um...We'll call her Tina. With Tina being an example of alliteration for a tortoise's name, and I really like tortoises, and this Tina is quite small (but not green). Anyway, I really feel quite strongly about her, but there's a bit of a problem. Whilst C worked in the sports department, and Jules (remember her?) worked for a different place within my work, Tina works with me. In the same department. Tough, no?

So, I'm not quite sure what to do. She is just such a nice girl. No joke. But a couple of years older than me. It's difficult, because if I asked her out on a date, she'd probably feel really embarrassed, and, well, things would be awkward to say the least. I'd have to leave work, I think, because both of us would be too embarrassed to speak to each other, knowing how I feel. Even if I were to stop liking her in that way, the sense of friendliness would be tainted with a suspicion of something more. So, frankly, it's difficult.

I'll take my holiday to think it over. I'm off to France this Friday, to start my voluntary work. Oh yes, riveting as it is. (I do use that "riveting" word a lot, eh?) Although I'll be helping old people around the place, I'll be using all of my spare time on the trip to do some thinking. In the sun, whilst sunbathing, of course. It's apparently 31-degrees centigrade at that neck of the woods at the current moment. Hurrah! I shall sunbathe and think. Yes. Maybe pick up a French girl to help me with my thinking? No, Jacques, don't be silly...

My old girlfriend (remember her? Oh, of course you do, I mentioned her a couple of paragraphs [or pages] ago) is going on the trip as well. Will something happen? Well, drink will be flowing. Do I want something to happen? I'm not sure...I don't think so. Too much ground trod on, I'd say. Not only that, but I really, really want a date with this Tina. Although she'd have no way of knowing, I'd like to remain focused. But, with drink flowing, I may change my mind. Which is rather immoral of me, but who cares?

Ah yes, a little funny story to end this neverending story. (At this moment, I have to apologise to Biffo and BWTT, as they've heard this at least once before) We were looking at our company staff magazine last week, and it had our new uniform in it. We were looking at it, and I flicked over a couple of pages, and saw a woman modelling a bikini. I then asked if that was the new ladies uniform in work, to reptures of laughter. Well, not raptures, but laughs from the surrounding people. Quite funny, really. At the time, of course...

I got pictures taken on graduation night (as I believe I mentioned before). If anyone wants to see them (I wouldn't - beware, not suitable for persons under 60 years of age), if you ask me very, very nicely, I might. No guarantee, though.

Anyhoo, I really do feel I should finish this now. I hope you all have a good day/week (depending on how long it takes me to post another entry), and I shall see you later on. Take care!
