			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online Dating goes in steps.  Today we&#8217;re going to talk about step SEVEN &#8211; yes step SEVEN &#8211; <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">the voice call.</span></strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not going to lie &#8211; I think I have this online dating thing about figured out.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  I&#8217;m kidding &#8211; kind of.  Ok the fact of it is &#8211; that I had no intention of pursuing online dating AT ALL but then I met some dudes who seemed to be pretty cool and as I engaged in contact with them I realized <span style="color: #0000ff;">there were similarities in relationship patterns</span>.  It&#8217;s quite fascinating!!!</p>
<p>Oh and watch for my upcoming book &#8220;Online Dating for the Dense.&#8221;  HAHAHAHAHA &#8211; just kidding &#8211; for real this time &#8211; well 90% for real.  I think I COULD prolly write a book on my studies but we&#8217;ll save that for another post.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;">Step Seven &#8211; A pretty big deal</span></h2>
<p>Step seven is a pretty crucial step in online dating.  Yeah &#8211; that&#8217;s right &#8211; it&#8217;s a pretty big deal.  No more hiding behind words &#8211; the dude you&#8217;re talking to will now be able to HEAR you laughing at him, HEAR the cynicism in your voice, HEAR excitement &#8211; whatever &#8211; he can HEAR it.  And omgosh &#8211; don&#8217;t let me forget &#8211; umm &#8211; say hello to AWKWARD PAUSES.  (though nothing is worse than an awkward pause on skype &#8211; but that&#8217;s like level NINE so we&#8217;ll discuss that another day.)  <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">So yeah &#8211; voice calls &#8211; a pretty big deal</span></strong>.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;">Timing is Key &#8211; calling too soon</span></h2>
<p>WHY??  It&#8217;s just a phone call!!  Well because you need to make sure the timing is right.  <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Accurate voice call timing is crucial.</span></strong> <strong>Too soon</strong> and you may find yourself ending the phone call being like, &#8220;Umm alright -so yeah &#8230;&#8221; and you feel like you SHOULD say, &#8220;Talk to you soon&#8221; but you know you&#8217;re NEVER going to talk to him again so it&#8217;s a bit awkward.  PLUS if he&#8217;s all like, &#8220;This was great &#8211; I&#8217;m so glad we talked&#8221; blah blah blah &#8211; well &#8211; you feel even MORE awkward when you realize you don&#8217;t want to talk to him again.</p>
<h2 style="font-size: 1.5em;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Timing is Key &#8211; waiting too long</span></h2>
<p>And then you have the other side of the fence &#8211; waiting<strong> too long</strong> before the voice call.  When this happens &#8211; you&#8217;ve been instant messaging so long that you already have an idea of how you think the other person sounds &#8211; or reacts &#8211; or just IS.  You THINK  you have an idea of their personality and then because of course you&#8217;re wrong &#8211; when you hear their voice you&#8217;re like, &#8220;omgosh &#8211; you sound like a nasal-y star trek geek who probably studies vulcan in your time off.&#8221;  WHAT DO YOU DO THEN??  Here you had these great expectations and then you talk to him and you have a mini online dating crisis.  <strong>Is this guy his voice??  Or is he his words??</strong></p>
<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;">Phone Calls &#8211; Golden!!</span></h2>
<p>ANYWAY &#8211; if you&#8217;ve already made it through the first six steps of online dating and are prepared to take it to the next level &#8211; it&#8217;s a good sign.  Buuuutttttt &#8211; BEWARE.  Voice calls are not all they&#8217;re cracked up to be.  (haha especially if your voice cracks while talking.)  HOWEVER it&#8217;s not all gloom and doom.  Sometimes you talk to someone on the phone and are pleasantly surprised.  Suddenly you&#8217;re like, &#8220;Omgosh &#8211; I could totally see myself talking to you on a continual basis &#8211; you&#8217;re fun!&#8221;  And THAT is pretty dang cool.</p>
<p>Oh wait &#8211; let&#8217;s not get too excited yet.  Let&#8217;s be real &#8211; if you feel that it went SO AWESOME there&#8217;s a good chance he thought YOU sounded like a 16 year old girl who giggles too much.</p>
<p><strong>Yeah &#8211; such is my life</strong>.  I bet you can&#8217;t WAIT to read about Webcams.  ;)</p>
<p>ANYWHO &#8211; Tonight I watched the sun set &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may or may not want to read this &#8211; either way &#8211; please don&#8217;t hold it against me &#8211; I&#8217;ll be back to regular programming tomorrow (or the next day.)  :)  Oh and before we start &#8211; I want to give shout outs to Deeleea and Frankly Scarlett.  Your friendships mean so much to me!!!  Luvs to you!!!!  Xx!~Daisy!!!!</p>
<h1>The iBirds and the iBees, Cyber Chastity Belts</h1>
<p>My naive inner cyber child asked my grown-up real life self, &#8220;Daisy, where do cyber-babies come from?&#8221;  And I have to be honest &#8211; I was a little stumped.  Cyber babies?  Wtheck?  And why do I have an inner cyber child?</p>
<p>Anyway, it has been my unfortunate experience as of late, to be the target of cyber-pressure.  Say WHAT??  Yeah.  I know.  I was shocked too.  WTHECK??</p>
<p>Call me naive but I had no idea how similar cyber-dating was to RL dating.  IN FACT &#8211; it&#8217;s actually worse than real life dating.   Why?  Because I added the word CYBER to the front of it.  And not only does that make it SOUND worse but it also allows for a whole new breed of douchebags.  Cyber Douchebags.  And guess what?  Cyber Douchebags are SUPER douchebags.</p>
<p>So right here and now &#8211; I&#8217;d just like to throw it out there that I have a Cyber Chastity Belt.  And GUESS WHAT??  I don&#8217;t lower my standards just because YOU have an iCloak of anonymity which gives you more courage to cyber hit on me.  And want to know what else?   I kind of  think you&#8217;re cybersluts!  Yep.  Cybersluts.  And cowards.  Maybe I&#8217;m wrong but I have a feeling you wouldn&#8217;t DARE speak to me that way in real life.  And if I could CYBERSLAP you, I would!!!!!</p>
<p>HOWEVER &#8211; with that said &#8211; I think it&#8217;s completely different when two people are getting to know each other and start cyber flirting and having a little cybersexy time.  <strong>That&#8217;s normal</strong>.  And I think it&#8217;s kind of fun to have an iCrush on someone.  In fact I DO have an iCrush on someone :)  BUT!!!!! What&#8217;s NOT normal are all the dudes from UTAH fronting to be religiously devout and &#8220;ohsoMoral and wonderful&#8221; but are REALLY cyberdirty and gross!   Oh SNAP!!!  Yeah &#8211; I did  - I went there.  I said it &#8211; and I think it&#8217;s time more people started taking a stand against cyber douchebags!!  Do you really think that morals don&#8217;t translate into the digital world?</p>
<p>There will be no iBirds and iBees busy making iSpring happen on THIS computer with any Cybersluts.  I have cyberstandards and iMorals!!!!    And I&#8217;m not going to have a one-night cyber-fling with you just because you think the internet is a guilt-free realm.  It shouldn&#8217;t be!!!! and I DO think your computer has a virus and I DON&#8217;T want it to infect mine.</p>
<h1>I&#8217;ve got a super-fire-wall-cyber-chastity-belt.</h1>
<p>And just like in REAL LIFE &#8211; in my CYBERLIFE, I can&#8217;t be PRESSURED into any cyberGROSS with you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once upon a time there was a little girl who dreamed of Mr. Right.  He was just like the fairy tales.</p>
<p>He was handsome,<br />
he could sing,<br />
he la-la-la-la-la-UVed her,<br />
and UNDOUBTEDLY he would whisk her off her feet.</p>
<p>As this little girl grew up her criteria changed a little bit &#8211; maybe she needed more than a fairytale.  Maybe she needed something real.</p>
<p>Intelligence<br />
Motivation<br />
Open-mindedness<br />
Wit<br />
(and likes dogs)</p>
<p>But where in the world would she ever meet Mr. Right?  And what if &#8230; oh no &#8230; what if she FOUND HIM and then discovered she wasn&#8217;t HIS Mrs. Right!?!?!</p>
<p>HEARTBREAK<br />
Tears<br />
Sad sigh</p>
<p>OR maybe it was fair to assume that HER Mr. Right would want the same things in HIS Mrs. Right.  So she just needed to make sure she was everything he was looking for.  :)   So she worked at being well-rounded &#8211; tried to live a full life &#8211; she knew that HER Mr. Right would be busy filling his life the best he could until he found her &#8211; and so she did the same.   And as she filled her life, her needs from a potential Mr. Right changed and became more complicated and complex.   She realized love wouldn&#8217;t be enough &#8211; she needed someone who could offer compatible and complimentary traits and talents.</p>
<p>Seems logical right?</p>
<p>Right.  It makes perfect sense to me.</p>
<p>So could someone please explain to me WHY in the world this is so difficult for all of the Mr. and Mrs. Wrongs to understand!?   I freaking hate dating today.   If I read someone&#8217;s profile and they are looking for a girl who is XYZ and I&#8217;m NOT XYZ &#8211; guess what??  I accept that we&#8217;re not compatible!!!   dang it &#8211; I always revert back to algebra.  BUT IT&#8217;S BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE!!!!  But seriously &#8211; I&#8217;m a KLM looking for an EFG who is looking for a KLM.    And I&#8217;m NOT looking for an ABC who is looking for a KLM &#8211; nor am I looking for an XYZ or a DEF or IT DOESN&#8217;T EVEN MATTER &#8211; if you&#8217;re not an EFG then it DOESN&#8217;T MATTER if you are looking for a KLM.   It takes TWO to tango &#8211; and gosh darn it!!  I&#8217;m sick of all of the other letters of the alphabet today.   I don&#8217;t understand why this is so difficult to understand!!!! :(</p>
<p>Though if I were just blunt it&#8217;d be a heck of a lot easier to understand &#8211; but I&#8217;m trying not to be MEAN so I&#8217;m using algebraic type metaphors.</p>
<p>I guess it just all boils down to this: I&#8217;m annoyed.  And I know that&#8217;s MY problem but since this is my blog :) YAY!!!  I get to vent.  Please feel free to vent in the comments about whatever you like &#8211; maybe it&#8217;ll be good therapy for us all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s the one-sided conversation I had with my mother today.  It WOULD have been TWO sided but she was still asleep.  And WHY am I still awake??  PROLLY cuz my really cool neighbors are outside playing rockband with trashcans and sticks.  I&#8217;m sorry but seriously &#8211; karaoke is NOT cool to hear at 1:30 am.  And it&#8217;s ESPECIALLY not cool when you can hear the microphone make that whiney terrible rotten noise as it get too close to the speaker (how do they have speakers if they have to use garbage cans for DRUMS??) and if you can imagine it being EVEN WORSE THAN THIS well guess what??  The dude singing?  Is out of tune.  And kinda sounds like a creaky gate swinging on its rusty hinges.  You know that sound?  You know?  It just kinda makes you want to shudder.</p>
<p>Ugh.</p>
<p>Anyway &#8211; back to the one sided convo &#8211; I&#8217;m good at these&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know what you&#8217;re probably thinking &#8230; you&#8217;re probably thinking I have some sort of ill wish on my heart because I keep hanging out with CC+4.  Why would I do that???  The more time we spend together the more we get to know each other &#8211; the more we get to know each other the more we like each other &#8211; and the more we like each other the more fun we have.  I can&#8217;t resist &#8211; and even though I know the more fun we have the more sucky the goodbye will be again when I leave him a second time on Monday -</p>
<h2>I can&#8217;t resist.</h2>
<p>-3 was a total douchebag for so many more reasons than I ever was willing to blog about &#8211; but he was right about one thing.  I wasn&#8217;t into it 100%.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t be.  Here&#8217;s another pic from that boating day &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="CC+4 and Daisy by australiandaisy, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/27168615@N03/3756277619/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2621/3756277619_04cf538d78.jpg" alt="CC+4 and Daisy" width="296" height="414" /></a></p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve said all along I needed resolution with CC+4 before I&#8217;d ever be able to give my heart fully to anyone else</strong> &#8211; and coming back to Utah &#8211; realizing that CC+4 is the ONLY person who can tempt me away from my reclusive family life &#8211; and yeah &#8211; I don&#8217;t know where I&#8217;m going with this &#8211; but you know that feeling when you&#8217;re in a crowded room, or stadium, or party but you feel completely secure, almost oblivious to the chaos around?</p>
<h2>The world kind of disappears when I&#8217;m with CC+4 -</h2>
<p>I&#8217;m THAT into him.</p>
<p>Last night he asked me out on a proper date.  He invites me to do things ALL OF THE TIME but generally I have other plans and yeah &#8211; anyway &#8211; it was Pioneer Day yesterday so we went to a Major League Soccer Game &#8211; he was fun and flirtatious &#8211; looked fly as always &#8211; and we were with a big group and he made sure that everyone knew he was taken for the night.  lol.  After the game we went onto the field to watch the fireworks &#8211; he held me close and we sat away from our group.</p>
<h3>AAANNNDDD then AFTER the fireworks -</h3>
<h2>the stadium lights turned on</h2>
<h3>and there in the middle of the soccer field &#8230;</h3>
<h2>he grabbed me and we danced.</h2>
<h1>Yes &#8211; we danced.</h1>
<p>He spun me around, <strong><em>held me close</em></strong>, danced me in <strong><span style="color: #00ccff;">circles</span></strong> and put #3&#8242;s elevator dancing to complete shame. lol.  I&#8217;m teasing &#8211; but let&#8217;s compare.  A quick dance in an elevator &#8211; <span style="color: #00ccff;"><strong>a long dance in front of tons of people on the field of a major league soccer field?</strong></span> I guess it&#8217;s not just Australians who know how to romance a girl.</p>
<p>And as a quick fyi &#8211; my FM should be proud &#8211; we salsa-ed.  :)</p>
<h3>After the fireworks we went back to his house for a party and then snuck away.</h3>
<h2>And that&#8217;s when I did it!!!  Oh wow &#8211; this was a big one.</h2>
<p>I&#8217;m new at this heart-to-heart define-the-relationship stuff so I didn&#8217;t go THAT far but here&#8217;s how it went &#8230;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #00ccff;">Me &#8211; &#8220;You  make my life complicated.&#8221;</span></strong></p>
<p>Him &#8211; &#8220;What??  I make your life complicated?&#8221; He chuckles.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #00ccff;">Me &#8211; &#8220;Yeah &#8211; you know how you kinda had a GF when I first got back?&#8221; &#8211; he nods &#8211; &#8220;Well I kind of had a BF too.&#8221; &#8211; SHOCK on his face.  I continue &#8211; &#8220;He was really nice.  We had fun &#8211; he told me he loved me about a week ago &#8211; we talked about having kids &#8211; blah blah blah &#8211; and then he dumped me a couple of days later.&#8221;</span></strong></p>
<p>Him &#8211; laughs in surprise &#8211; &#8220;He told you all of that and then broke up with you?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #00ccff;">Me &#8211; &#8220;Yep.  He said I wasn&#8217;t into it 100% and he was right.&#8221;  I give him a long sultry look ;) and then look away a little shyly.  I continue &#8211; &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to be 100% into someone when you&#8217;re in Utah and into someone else.&#8221; pause &#8211; </span></strong></p>
<h2>We lock eyes for like what feels like forever and</h2>
<h1>then he kisses me.</h1>
<p>I don&#8217;t even think I&#8217;ll see him again before I leave &#8211; tonight he&#8217;s out of town &#8211; tomorrow is my family farewell dinner and tomorrow he&#8217;s headed into the mountains for his best friend&#8217;s bday party &#8211; I was invited &#8211; but family first &#8230;</p>
<p>I leave Monday &#8230;</p>
<p>Now what??  Will he get scared off?  Will we continue our long distance friendship?  Will I see him again?  Only time will tell &#8230; <strong>but my fingers are crossed&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>And this is not related but I la-la-la-LOVE this pic &#8211; my niece and my sister-in-law (her mom.)  She&#8217;s so funny &#8211; AND she&#8217;s met CC+4 and she not only likes him but asks me when she&#8217;ll see him again.  Big bonus points for CC+4 &#8211; he&#8217;s GREAT with kids.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Want to know what had my mom LOLing for AGES last night at around 1:10 am my time (which was around 9:10am her time the day prior)??  This little juicy gossip for you.  Woot!  Woot!  But FIRST let&#8217;s dish the scoop from the weekend.</p>
<p>Friday night I played with North Sydney.  North Sydney who?  Here he is in 141 characters or less:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">He&#8217;s hot, funny, hypersensitive, self-absorbed, ambitious, has conflicted feelings 4 me &amp; says we&#8217;re &#8220;friends with non-platonic inclination</span>s&#8221;</p>
<p>So it was great fun to see him if you consider the fact that he &#8220;shares&#8221; with me all of the time how he&#8217;s let me into his life so much more than other people &#8211; and I &#8220;get&#8221; him and can &#8220;diffuse&#8221; him and BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH &#8211; oh and he finds me attractive and enjoys kissing me (eew gross!) but we&#8217;re just FRIENDS.  Which is fine with me &#8211; really truly &#8211; but I don&#8217;t think FRIENDS should kiss.  SOOOooooo I think I&#8217;m going to have to put the X on the non-platonic inclinations.  We can be besties/BFFs and that will be FUN &#8211; YAY!  but no kissing.</p>
<p>Saturday night I played with North Sydney again.  North Sydney who?  JUST TEASING!  Same as above.  We went and saw Star Trek and I had to take a COAT into the theater with me because it gets THAT cold in there.  EVERY TIME.  Yeah I&#8217;m serious &#8211; I pack a coat every time I go to the movies.  And NO you sly little devils out there &#8211; cuddling is NOT an option to keep warm because 1 &#8211; we&#8217;re JUST FRIENDS and 2 &#8211; the stupid theaters don&#8217;t have those adjustable arm rests.  <img style="vertical-align: bottom;" src="http://sc.webmessenger.msn.com/10.1.0323.0/session/images/emoticons/smile_regular.gif" alt=":)" /></p>
<p>Next up! Sunday.  After dinner with N. Syd on Saturday and his suggesting that I should give #3 a chance &#8211; #3 who? oh boy &#8211; here we go again.  #3 in 141 characters or less:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: #000000; font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 15px; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">He&#8217;s hot, funny, super duper intelligent, way too motivated, incredibly energetic, older, spontaneous, and very intriguing &#8211; but a big drinker</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">YES N. Sydney DID suggest I should give #3 a chance &#8211; even though we (N. Syd and I) totally pashed the day prior. (pash = make out) Umm &#8230; right. ok so NO MORE NON-PLATONIC INCLINATIONS.  Grrrrr.  <img style="vertical-align: bottom;" src="http://sc.webmessenger.msn.com/10.1.0323.0/session/images/emoticons/smile_baringteeth.gif" alt="8o|" /> (that was JUST FOR YOU MOM! oxox)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">ANYWHO after work on Sunday I caught up with My Flattie (she&#8217;s so cute! and her BF is my Agony Uncle &#8211; SO CUTE!) and Uncle Agony suggested I send a text to #3 &#8211; yada yada yada &#8211; I ended up catching up with #3 for dinner HOWEVER because I had HOMEWORK<strong> I only agreed to meet him because he said he&#8217;d like to help me with my essay</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">YES I WAS SKEPTICAL TOO!!!  Like WHAT?  Seriously &#8211; he wants to help me with my homework??  Right &#8211; and I went and saw Witch Mountain only because it looked realistic &#8211; it wasn&#8217;t because THE ROCK who is oh so hunky and fine now that he&#8217;s lean and trim was in it &#8211; no no no.  Uh huh &#8211; yeah right.  So why did I agree?  Because he made a convincing argument and happens to have firsthand knowledge in my area of study.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Dinner ended up not being dinner &#8211; apparently #3 had already eaten &#8211; WHAT?? But that&#8217;s ok because I got served piping hot chips (french fries) by the absolute most SMOKIN&#8217; Canadian fire brigade dude.  When we left Mr. May (fire brigade) made sure to give me a personal invitation to come in ANYTIME and #3 commented that he was surprised Mr. May didn&#8217;t find a way to slip me his number.  (big sigh &#8211; he was so dreamy.)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Then #3 was like, &#8220;Come back to my place and we&#8217;ll actually WRITE your essay&#8221; and he was so super duper enthusiastic about it and I was like, &#8220;Umm it&#8217;s 9:30 pm &#8211; Yeah right x 100&#8243; and he was like, &#8220;No for real&#8221; and I was like, &#8220;Not a chance under the moon&#8221; and he was like, &#8220;I swear.&#8221; and this is the Daisy abbreviated version of the conversation &#8211; I don&#8217;t think #3 has ever used the words &#8220;no for real&#8221; in his life.  ANYWAY &#8211; I took his solemn oath that we&#8217;d write THREE PAGES of my essay if I went back to his house.  STOP LAUGHING!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">No seriously.  STOP LAUGHING.  And yes &#8211; this is why my mom laughed too.  Why?  Because I DID go back to his house and we DID work on my essay.  YES.  That&#8217;s right.  <strong>We worked on my essay. </strong> And then I went home.  Yep!!  HE WAS SO MUCH HELP!!!  He gave me a killer dramatic opening for the paper as well as a bangin&#8217; closing line.  AND if that doesn&#8217;t score him triple quadruple double brownie points &#8211; I don&#8217;t know what would.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I&#8217;d say if this were Super Mario he scored a 1up &#8211; and it makes Mr. May look like Mr. Maybe Can&#8217;t Compete with #3.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t remember what song that title is from but no doubt it was a REALLY-HEAPS-SMART one.  I can&#8217;t tell you why that line is running through my head either, prolly cuz it&#8217;s like this, it&#8217;s like that, it&#8217;s like this yo.  And it&#8217;s THAT cool and only COOL stuff runs around this brain.</p>
<p>So tomorrow I am going to give a 5 minute presentation on DOG TREADMILLS.  (don&#8217;t ask) I didn&#8217;t need to capitalize that but I DID because I&#8217;m running on like NO sleep and y&#8217;allz know when I don&#8217;t sleep I ONE &#8211; over-share and TWO &#8211; am _____ &#8211; umm &#8211; alrighty then glad we have that settled.  Wait what settled?  Look &#8211; I&#8217;m going to level with you here &#8211; there isn&#8217;t ONE WORD that describes my sleep-deprived state so the _____ will have to do.  <img style="vertical-align: bottom;" src="http://sc.webmessenger.msn.com/10.1.0323.0/session/images/emoticons/smile_regular.gif" alt=":)" /></p>
<p>I wish I had some great quote to go with this pic.  You know something about roads and opportunities and BLAH BLAH BLAH.  Hold on &#8230; maybe I can find one.  HAHA!  Just kidding &#8211; YEAH RIGHT!  I have way too much homework  to search for quotes.  Instead I&#8217;ll tell you the funny magnet I read today.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2962" title="may" src="http://www.australiandaisy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/may-300x225.jpg" alt="may" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Statistics show that those who have the most birthdays, live longest.</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!</p>
<p>Ok so weekend recap &#8211; I met North Sydney&#8217;s son and he&#8217;s ADORABLE!!!  Oh and his son LUVS me.  AND I also become North Sydney&#8217;s new counselor &#8211; no seriously he actually calls me his counselor.  WHAAAT?  I&#8217;m choosing to take it as a compliment because the dude has THREE post graduate degrees in psychology and says I am the FIRST person who has been able to offer insightful advice on his dilemma.  YAY FOR DAISY!  Except &#8211; dang it! I used to have a crush on this dude &#8211; and now we are DEFINITELY just friends.</p>
<p>But THAT&#8217;S OK because there&#8217;s this OTHER DUDE who is super cool and I&#8217;ve been out with him a few times over the last couple weeks BUT it seems as soon as I decide I am interested in seeing a guy he loses interest (it&#8217;s my Karma because I do that to guys ALL OF THE TIME) &#8211; so we&#8217;ll see.  But he SAID we&#8217;d do something this weekend?? so unless he is psychic he shouldn&#8217;t ACTUALLY know that I kinda think I could be diggin him YET and therefore I THINK maybe I have plans to see him,  Who knows.  But want to know WHY he has gotten to note-worthy/blog mentioning point?</p>
<h3>HOW THE NEW DUDE GOT TO BLOG MENTION STATUS</h3>
<p>In my &#8220;about me&#8221; blog post that I&#8217;m too lazy to link for you but it was like numero trois or so on the blog I said that I LUV LUV LUV kissing on elevators and forgetting to get off on your floor.  Well Thursday when I went out with the new dude we were in an elevator and he TOTALLY had us stay on the elevator and NOT get off on our floor and then he kissed me instead.  Can we say he scored double points for that?  And then he spun me around and danced with me STILL IN THE ELEVATOR.  Aw. [blush]  And THAT is how the new dude landed himself a mention on my blog.  <img style="vertical-align: bottom;" src="http://sc.webmessenger.msn.com/10.1.0323.0/session/images/emoticons/smile_regular.gif" alt=":)" /></p>
<p>[cross fingers that he NEVER EVER READS MY BLOG]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HAHA!  Today I was so like &#8220;I&#8217;ll show him!&#8221; and then at the end of the night it was like, &#8220;D@@@@@mn &#8211; he showed me!&#8221;</p>
<p>Look the guy blew my mind with his wit and sarcasm the first night I met him and that same night after hours of conversation<strong> he ended the night with a peck</strong> &#8211; <em>and only a peck</em> &#8211; on my lips and walked away.  I was surprised yet happy about it &#8211; though BEWILDERED <strong>because the <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">dumbdumb</span> guy didn&#8217;t ask for my digits</strong>.  What?  Yeah he didn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Well time went on and I ran into him again.  He confessed his <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">dumbdumbness</span> regret about the digits and then whisked me off my feet.  Pretty literally.  AANND he took no time at all <span style="color: #00ccff;"><strong>to turn the peck from the time before into a little badaboom vroom vroom and we totally pashed</strong></span>.  [wait - no reprimands yet please.]</p>
<p>THEN we saw each other a few times and <span style="color: #00ccff;"><strong>he pulled a DTR on me</strong></span>.  WHAT?  <strong><span style="color: #00ccff;">A DTR is a &#8220;Define the Relationship&#8221; talk where you decide if the badaboom really has enough vroom vroom to go anywhere.</span></strong> <strong>I was FURIOUS</strong>.  I had prevented and managed to escape any and all forms of DTRs for the past 2 years.  And then what &#8211; <strong>I go on like 2 or 3 dates with this dude and he&#8217;s asking me where it&#8217;s going?  Umm &#8211; No thank you please.  Go away.</strong></p>
<p>So <strong><span style="color: #00ccff;">I told him I didn&#8217;t see it going anywhere</span></strong> and he was like, &#8220;That&#8217;s good because I was worried you may be looking for something and I really want to take this slow&#8221; and <strong><span style="color: #00ccff;">then he slowly faded from my daily life</span></strong>.  Hmm &#8230; surprise surprise right?  Who wouldn&#8217;t slowly disappear after what I said?  (let&#8217;s NOT mention how I also pushed away CC-450 by telling him I was dating tons of people right now even though I WAS dating significantly less because I really really liked CC-450 even though he APPARENTLY didn&#8217;t like me and ok? thanks! xo)</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got issues!  I know!</p>
<p>So blah blah blah &#8211; <span style="color: #00ccff;"><strong>I met up with this &#8220;wow&#8221; when I got back from holiday and he was so NOT wow</strong></span>.  In fact he was a total DB.  To the EXTREME.  And then FM forbade me from seeing him again.  Until finally TODAY I decided it&#8217;s been long enough and I could see him again.  <img style="vertical-align: bottom;" src="http://sc.webmessenger.msn.com/10.1.0323.0/session/images/emoticons/smile_regular.gif" alt=":)" /> But I strictly or not so strictly decided I was going to just be his FRIEND -<span style="color: #00ccff;"><strong> a NO KISSING friend</strong></span> (we were always JUST friends anyway &#8211; whatever.)</p>
<p>Well I was doing well when I saw him.  He went in for the customary kiss on the cheek greeting but wait &#8211; hold up &#8211; he wasn&#8217;t going for my cheek &#8211; umm &#8230; <span style="color: #00ccff;"><strong>what do I do?  umm &#8230; pause &#8211; awkwardness &#8211; <span style="color: #3366ff;">dart left, dart right</span> &#8211; darn darn &#8211; why did he just move when I went for his cheek?</strong></span></p>
<p>UGH!  Look I TRIED to go for his cheek.  I did.  I promise.  But he was NOT going to let that happen.  So I got a smooch.  Which is WHATEVER because I KNOW he does that with his other friends &#8211; wait what?  <span style="color: #00ccff;">Yeah &#8211; he&#8217;s like a kiss slut and NO that doesn&#8217;t mean he and I are destined to be together.</span></p>
<p>So then we had a lovely dinner.  We had a lovely chat after dinner and before we knew it we had talked for HOURS.  <span style="color: #00ccff;">And then he drove me home</span> (but in the American way which means we got into his car and drove to my house and not in the AUSSIE way which means something very different.)  At my house I said goodbye and went in for a kiss on the cheek again &#8211; because I&#8217;m strong like that <img style="vertical-align: bottom;" src="http://sc.webmessenger.msn.com/10.1.0323.0/session/images/emoticons/smile_regular.gif" alt=":)" /> and THAT was when he <strong><span style="color: #00ccff;">smooched me AGAIN! </span></strong>And THEN I pulled away and he stayed there.  And stayed there.  And stayed there.  And I was like, &#8220;Umm &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Ok just kidding it was more like I went in for the cheek and didn&#8217;t feel bad at ALL when he went for the lips and then I pulled away but noticed he stayed so I went back.  hee hee.  I&#8217;m bad I know.</p>
<h3>BUT GET THIS!  That&#8217;s it.  Yeah.  I know!</h3>
<p><strong><span style="color: #00ccff;">And then he asked me to come do some work for him on the side next week.</span></strong> Umm &#8230; ???      ????</p>
<p><strong>Well alrighty then &#8211; that&#8217;s fan-flippin-tastic. </strong>We&#8217;ve gone from friends to friends who pash to friends who don&#8217;t talk to friends who smooch to business??  Wait &#8211; but that&#8217;s not what I had in the cards!!!  OOOH!  <strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">I got PLAYED! </span></strong></p>
<p>Yes-sir-ee-bob <strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">I was played</span></strong>.</p>
<p>And I liked it. <img style="vertical-align: bottom;" src="http://sc.webmessenger.msn.com/10.1.0323.0/session/images/emoticons/smile_regular.gif" alt=":)" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I shouldn&#8217;t joke about something so serious.  I&#8217;m actually quite outraged.  A kiss may be a contract for marriage but NOT WHEN THE KISS IS FORCED ON YOU!!!  Today&#8217;s blog project (I&#8217;ll explain the project another day) is to write a list.  I think that&#8217;s grand and all but I&#8217;m angry about tonight and want to vent.  SO &#8211; here is a LIST of things you should NOT do when you are trying to hit on me.</p>
<h3>If you want to increase your odds of success when hitting on me DO NOT:</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>spill your drink on me</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>step in front of my male friends who are talking to me</strong> because you think they are a threat.  I am not your prey you stupid pig.  [insert fake but sweet smile]</li>
<li><strong>repeat yourself</strong> over and over and over and over and over again.</li>
<li><strong>have wandering hands</strong> after I have REPEATEDLY TOLD YOU TO KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF YOU STUPID SWEARWORD!</li>
<li><strong>talk to me after you&#8217;ve drank so much that </strong><strong>you&#8217;re an idiot </strong>(giving you the VERY GRACIOUS benefit of the doubt that you MAY have not already been an idiot before the drinks.)</li>
<li><strong>mention, suggest or use the words -fate, destiny, kismet, karma, fortune</strong>- or anything that even resembles any of those words when speaking about our recent introduction.</li>
<li><strong>tell me you&#8217;d like to apologize</strong> for your outrageous behavior <strong>and then try to kiss me</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>blame your unacceptable behavior on the alcohol</strong>.  I met a nice hottie last weekend who had been drinking but was still respectful.</li>
<li><strong>continue to attempt to kiss me </strong>even though I asked you to please stop trying to kiss me.</li>
<li><strong>grab my arms and forcefully prevent me from walking away</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>forcefully kiss me</strong>.</li>
<li>And last but not least &#8211; <strong>don&#8217;t be a mother effin&#8217; jack@$#!!!!</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>I know I lived in a little bubble back home.  And I understand that my old school traditional upbringing has left me a little naive and ill suited for the REAL world.  I probably should have seen all of the above coming tonight &#8211; but I didn&#8217;t. And yes it all happened.  And yes it made me upset.</p>
<p>I broke down and saw an international student counselor at school 2 weeks ago.  Things haven&#8217;t felt right for awhile and I wanted suggestions to deal with the stress.  <span style="color: #00ccff;">Want to know what she said to me?  &#8220;I don&#8217;t normally advise this.  But in your case, maybe going home wouldn&#8217;t be such a bad idea.  It&#8217;s worth considering.&#8221;</span></p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t want to hear that.</p>
<p>So we&#8217;ll pretend she didn&#8217;t say it- at least for now.  Instead let&#8217;s focus on the fun part of my day &#8211; here are a couple pics from my first experience at the races.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="races 1 by australiandaisy, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/27168615@N03/3452184489/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3298/3452184489_619f617dc1.jpg" alt="races 1" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Me and my FM &#8211; yay!!  He&#8217;s a blast.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="races 4 by australiandaisy, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/27168615@N03/3452187009/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3361/3452187009_ff43b94418.jpg" alt="races 4" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="races 3 by australiandaisy, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/27168615@N03/3453001810/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3617/3453001810_18cd77e033.jpg" alt="races 3" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is a new friend from school &#8211; she&#8217;s an absolute doll!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I sent CC+4 who is now CC-450 a courtesy email yesterday to see how an appt. went because that&#8217;s what friends do and blah blah whatever <span style="color: #3366ff;">who cares right</span>?  right.  HOWEVER it reminded me of THIS POST which I never published.  But it&#8217;s a GGGRRRRR-ATE! one so please enjoy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">____________________________________</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">March 23, 2009</p>
<p><strong>Ordinarily I would forward music<em> </em></strong>onto CC-450 <strong>HOWEVER</strong> I&#8217;m afraid he may believe that a <strong>song is like the second witness signature (next to the kiss) on the contract for marriage? </strong><span style="color: #00ccff;"><strong>Say what?  Are you confused yet? </strong></span>me too.</p>
<p>Someone, <em>who will remain nameless but has 2 &#8220;C&#8221;s and a &#8220;-450&#8243; in his code name</em>, ACTUALLY ASKED ME, <strong>&#8220;You&#8217;re not like the type of girl who like&#8230; well you don&#8217;t think &#8230; I mean you don&#8217;t think if you kiss a guy it means &#8230;  umm &#8230; like you&#8217;re not one of those girls that thinks a kiss means like marriage are you?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>[pause.  long pause.]<br />
[pause some more.  look to the side quizzically.]<br />
[look straight again.  <strong>what did he just say</strong>?]</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>You&#8217;re not the type of girl who thinks a kiss is a contract for marriage are you?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">Whew.  I thought maybe he said something else.  Glad we got that straight.</span></p>
<p>Umm hello!  <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>OF COURSE I THINK A KISS IS A CONTRACT FOR MARRIAGE!</strong> </span>And this is why, in pursuit of my dream to be the world&#8217;s most famous bigamist, I made sure to kiss him, Adorable Boy, Glitter Boy and another boy who will remain nameless all within the same week.  GASP!  <strong>DAISY!!!  You kiss slut!!!  How do you live with yourself?? </strong><span style="color:#800080;"><span style="color: #00ccff;">Hey you &#8211; yeah YOU &#8211; the one judging me &#8211; I think that&#8217;s just about enough out of you.<strong> </strong></span></span><strong>It wasn&#8217;t PLANNED &#8211; </strong>I mean &#8211; wait -<span style="color: #cc99ff;"> <span style="color: #993366;">just kidding.  <span style="color: #3366ff;">It <em><strong>WAS </strong></em>PLANNED</span></span></span> because hello?  How am I going to score myself 40 husbands unless I start knocking off those kiss contracts as quickly as possible?</p>
<p>(<strong>Though in all fairness to my image</strong>, I didn&#8217;t kiss any other boys in the northern hemisphere after I kissed CC-450.  No no &#8211; I&#8217;m a reformed kiss slut.  <img style="vertical-align:bottom;" src="http://sc.webmessenger.msn.com/10.1.0323.0/session/images/emoticons/smile_teeth.gif" alt=":D" /> [insert I can't believe I'm writing this])</p>
<h3><span style="color:#800080;"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">Wow &#8211; ok you still with me?  We&#8217;re getting close to the end.</span> </span> <img style="vertical-align:bottom;" src="http://sc.webmessenger.msn.com/10.1.0323.0/session/images/emoticons/smile_regular.gif" alt=":)" /></h3>
<p>Now look &#8230; I&#8217;m feeling <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">guilty</span> generous, so although I <strong>WAS</strong> going to count all of the ways in which what he said to me was like the <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>WORST THING TO SAY TO A GIRL EVER</strong></span> (which would have been like a 12km long list) instead let&#8217;s just say &#8211; <span style="color:#800080;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">he shattered my dreams.</span> </span>Darn it! <em><strong><span style="color: #00ccff;">I&#8217;m going to have to rethink EVERYTHING now</span>.</strong></em><span style="color:#000080;"><strong> <span style="color: #cc99ff;">If kissing boys doesn&#8217;t insure me those illustrious rings so many girls are chasing after &#8211; what do I do now?</span></strong></span></p>
<p>Oh &#8211; oh hold up!  Wait wait.  Just had a thought!  this is a good one.  <img style="vertical-align:bottom;" src="http://sc.webmessenger.msn.com/10.1.0323.0/session/images/emoticons/smile_regular.gif" alt=":)" /> And I swear this is almost over.</p>
<p><strong>Before I go doubting myself just because some boy wanted to make sure I know he isn&#8217;t interested in the R word</strong><span style="color:#000080;"><strong><span style="color: #33cccc;"> </span></strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">[insert gee really?  thanks mr. obvious]</span><strong> <span style="color: #33cccc;">&#8230; let&#8217;s think back</span>.</strong> </span></p>
<h3>Oh yes!  Yes I remember now!</h3>
<p><strong>I don&#8217;t have to have a broken heart quite yet. </strong>I remember now.  <strong><span style="color:#339966;"><span style="color: #3366ff;">I DID get a memo on how kissing IS a contract for marriage</span></span><span style="color: #3366ff;">.</span> </strong> <span style="color: #33cccc;"><strong>WAHOO!!! </strong></span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #33cccc;"><strong>He&#8217;s the one who is wrong.</strong></span></h3>
<p>Nice!  Score at LEAST one for Daisy!!  <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>I&#8217;ll have to forward him the memo along with another sweet song.</strong></span> I&#8217;m pretty sure a diamond ring should come by FedEx in like <em>at most</em> a week right?  <img style="vertical-align:bottom;" src="http://sc.webmessenger.msn.com/10.1.0323.0/session/images/emoticons/smile_wink.gif" alt=";)" /></p>
