Of hotness and 5 months =)

Her: [tries to write] "dear, my pen isn't working... can you warm it up?"

Moi: "sure... no worries"

[places pen on hand, imitates sizzling sound - think sound of steak hitting hotplate]
[Pen works again]
[I return it to her with a smirk]
[She's speechless. Then she hits me]

Can't help being naturally hot...

Ps... happy 5 months dear. And hope you enjoy the (now-redundant) hairdryer.
She took me to see Les Miserables at the Regal last night, which was v sweet, given I'd mentioned months ago that it was one of my favourite stories [awww]
Seriously though, we really enjoyed ourselves =) Love.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you 
Nice to know somebody loves me 
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do 
Run and find the one who loves me
[Rainy days and Mondays - the Carpenters]

Amazing how sometimes you push away someone you love. I've been guilty of that. 
Reminders of my fallibility really ask questions of whether I have of what it takes to love. 
But at the end of the day, it starts with a decision.

Himglish and Femalese

MODERN MISCOMMUNICATION (courtesy of the Times)

Femalese E-mail

To Jonathan Himglish From Alice Femalese

Hi Jonathan, It was lovely to meet you at the party on Friday. Did you have a good time? I did. What an amazing DJ! Anyway, work has been so busy this week, I am really looking forward to taking it easy this weekend, although I’d quite like to catch a film or something. What have you got planned? Alice x

What she really means Will you go out with me this weekend? Please note I have signed this e-mail with an “x”, indicating my romantic interest (you will only get more kisses once we are properly dating).

Himglish E-mail

To Alice Femalese From Jonathan Himglish

Hi Alice, Great to meet you too. Yes, I think I’ll also be laying low this weekend. I also enjoy films — maybe I’ll see that new one with Seth Rogen in it. Jonathan x

What he really means I am rather oblivious and have terrible taste in films.

Femalese post-date tweet

Alicefemalese Just had the most amazing night with a new friend.

What she really means I just went on a really hot date and am totally smitten.

What he thinks she means I went out with this guy tonight, but I don’t fancy him. I guess we can be friends, though.

Himglish text message

Thanks for a great night! I hope I can see you again soon. J

Her reaction “Great night”? What does he mean by “great”? What a dull adjective. Wouldn’t he say “lovely’ or “amazing” if he really liked me? And he didn’t sign with a kiss. I’m sure he signed one of his previous texts with a kiss. Does this mean he doesn’t fancy me? I don’t think he does. This is awful. I’d better call my best friend and discuss this terrible development with her for at least three hours.
