I know, I know it feels like years since i've blogged...i've just had sooo much going on i just don't know where to start!
My birthday was great, what with the sombrero wearing Mexican evening, Angel night out and hungover Sunday. My lovely friends from Manchester and Derby came down to celebrate, old friends from home turned up, the Stokey crew were there in force and new "friends" were made...Playing "guess who" at 3 in the morning was a highlight for all involved i'm sure!
My TV debut went off with a bang...(for those that don't know i was on Dating in the Dark on Living)i had a houseful of fans, my phone was ringing off the hook and my Facebook page had gone crazy! I was really quite nervous about the whole thing but actually it wasn't bad as it could've been. Yes i got some hate mail, but hey, that's when you know you've arrived, right?! It wasn't anything to terrible and i got more fan mail from strangers than i did hate mail. I can't quite describe what it felt like to sit there and watch myself on telly, with all my friends (who didn't know the outcome) screaming at the screen. I sat wondering if it was really me...that girl with the posh voice and overly expressive face!
Now i don't know if it's my recent fame (and i use the word "fame" very loosely) but i seem to be doing ok on the dating front (and not just in the dark!). A couple of weeks back i was out with work for one of the PR girls leaving do's.An ex More2 employee turned up too see her off and he heard about the show. We only chatted for about 10 minutes as i then left the party early (i'd had plans to go out with Tico - but he cancelled earlier that day - that's the last of him!. A week later one of the PR girls said she knew someone who liked me, which i was rather surprised about. It seemed that the guy from the leaving party had took a shine to me, or at least that's what Rose told me. She asked if she could give him my email and i thought why not.
I've now been on three dates with the Italian/Aussie with a fourth date planned next weekend. I'm feeling good about it, i don't seem to have any reservations at the moment, but then i guess that's how it should be. It's early days but i'm hoping our next day will be just as good if not better then the ones before.
While all this has been happening, my housemates friend also asked me out for a drink (let's call him Dave). Now this is a first for me, dating two guys at the same time. And i know there's nothing wrong with it if you're just "dating", which i am (i'm turning over a "good girl" leaf you see) but i actually don't know how to play this game. Do you keep it all secret? Do you bring it up or is that making a big deal out of it when it's only a drink? What if you end up liking them both? I'm a single twenty something girl living in London, meeting new people all the time. There's nothing wrong with keeping my options open right? Well, like i said i don't know how to play this. So i told both guys that i had another date. And you know what, it actually made things easier for me! Mainly because the Aussie/Italian stepped up his game and the other guy also seemed extra keen. It also made things clearer for me, i realised that although Dave and i had a great date, with dancing and me out drinking him (nothing new there!) i couldn't get the other guy out of my head, for whatever reason. So in the end, i told Dave (after he rang me three times) that i wanted to see how things went with the Aussie/Italian.
So things are going pretty well on the social scene for me right now. However my career is much to be desired. Particularly as i don;t seem to have one! I really don't know what to do next, what to look for, what i'm good at. To be honest, i feel quite lost.
