once upon a time

of all the words of men and mice, the least of all that is nice.... what might have been....
came back from attending a friend's wedding. yet another one. came home, AFTER the wedding, to paint my nails... watching rerun of friends... where everyone is so shiney and happy... and any mometary unhappiness will fade away by the end of this season... or the next...
...men seem to fancy me...well, some do... but the trouble is, after a while, usually they begin to bore me.. or the obvious unsuitability is no longer ignorable - like their being married for example!
Work life is ok, it could be better ...though I'd be lying if thought for a second it couldn't be worse. And there is the promise of great times just around the corner. Opportunity to travel the globe, meet new people, learn a whole hellava lot... the world is my oyster.. and make it mine, i will!
Recently I've been introduced to a new breed of men... ones I wouldn't normally "consider"... someone in particular... his 'main' language isn't English (the only language I know how to think in...and if I was honest enough to admit it, an english snob) - but that is not to say his english isn't flawless when he chooses to use it, he isn't from the same social circle I am from - but that is not to say he doesn't fit in, if he chooses to make the effort. He spells "bad boy" a mile off...a far cry from the queeky clean, IIT-IIM kinda man who used to find me "mentally" attractive... sometimes when he looks at me if feel beautiful, not someone who thinks I'm intelligent therefore is attracted to me... but someone who is interested in my mind, me and the physical all at three different levels. Who will do silly things like bring me 'special' bread and jam from his favourite place for breakfast, but won't wait with me on the pavement while I try to catch a cab! :)
He isn't "my kinds" ...and nor am I his... but it felt nice to be reminded that I'm a woman beyond this...this brain that spews out reports and ideas and improvements.
It also reminded me to slow down and think of the fact that I'm still waiting... every step I take is a step in the direction of my future life.. and if I'm in too much of a hurry I might just miss it :)
So heres hoping I have the good sense to stop and smell the roses..and that the jackass who has made me wait for so many years hurrys and shows up! amen!!!
