Welcome to The Single Files. This will serve as an account and some musings about my experience of being Single in my 30's in the Outdoor Fitness Love To Travel Capital of the world...Vancouver BC. If you can learn from my mistakes or my behaviour in whatever form it takes...hurrah! If you find these nauseous and tedious....Sucks to you with knobs on! Enjoy! (or not...up to you really)

Aging Gracefully
"You look so good for your age".
The words hung in the air and I sprouted 3 grey hairs as they clung there for dear life.
So good for my age?? Is she fucking kidding me?? I never thought *I* would be the one to say this but..."Kids these days!" Jayzus! I'm 31 I'm not 61!
I have fallen into a bit of a slump the 2 weeks before my birthday. I guess that I am feeling like I AM getting a bit old. I can actually start to hear my biological clock...it's not a nice sound. It used to be a polite "tick tick tick" in the back of my cerebral cortex...now it has moved it's way to the forefront of my brain with a slightly anoying "Tick tick tick".
It gets even louder when I see my nephews but especially when I hold them. Then its more like a phreaking BOOM than a tick. But once the little ones squirm too much or cry too loudly then the BOOM retreats into a fainly audible "psst psst psst".
Oh who knows...I waffle back and forth on the kid issue. Would I like them? Maybe with the right guy and definitely at the right time. Now is not that time...and if I'm 38 and still haven't found all the elements in place...then I guess I will get some puppies instead - at least they don't talk back!
I have begun to find new things in my life to foucs on. I still love my job and I am actually beginning to think more and more about how I can do more things in the office. I would really like to have more involvment with the advertisement and promotional stuff. Right now Simone does a lot of that sort of stuff and I get the impression from her that she doesn't enjoy it so much. Besides that...she's so phreakin' busy that she doesn't have time for it! So I'd love to learn and take that stuff over.
Also...I can see where this company can grow if we just changed a few of our "set" ideas. There was talk about doing up another Festival and I think that it would be a good time to set the ball in motion for that. I am actually looking at this as where I want to go wtih my CAREER not just how can I feel good about my JOB. There is a difference I think between a Career and a Job. I'd like the first option please.
I think these are signs of maturity. That's nice. I guess I had to start maturing at some time. 31 might be the magic number!
Ok...more another time.
Kwerkie.

Excuse me…has anyone seen my stapler?
One of my all time fantasies has been to have sex on my desk in the office. I had the most delicious dream about it the other night and I just feel compelled to share.
In my dream I was meeting Ronan to pick up some things from my office before heading out of town. I was wearing a very short skirt (VERY SHORT!!) and a low cut top. My hair was perfectly coiffed (this is how you can tell it’s a dream….my hair is NEVER perfectly coiffed unless I just stepped out of the salon…and even then it has a “perfect” life span of about 30 minutes) and my make up was sexy and sultry…in a word….I looked HOT!
“Yes” I moan.
“Click” the stapler replies.
“Ohhh yes, right there” I sigh.
“Click, crunch click” the stapler responds.
“YES…ummmphhh…Yessssss”.
“Click click crunch clack click crunch” the stapler is urging me on.
“MmmMMMPHHRRRRFFFF”.
“CACHUNK” the stapler demands.
“MMMM”
“Click Click CLACK”
“MMMRRFFGGFFFFF”.
“CACHUNK CACHUNK CACHUNK”.
“mmmmmmmmmmmmm….thank you”. I manage after my release.
“click” the stapler politely chirps back.
A quick double check by both of us and we nodded to each other. Ronan turned on the lights as I gathered up the materials I needed for my trip. The cleaners arrived at the door just as Ronan opened it. We both smiled at the cleaner…our faces flushed and my knees wobbly. A friendly hello was exchanged between the 3 of us and then Ronan and I were off….down the elevator and into the basement both of us bursting with laughing.
It was only after I woke up from my dream that I realized how very selfish it all was. Ronan has always been keen about giving me “Kwerkie only” nights of passion and here it manifested itself into dream.
*le sigh*.
Now whenever I look at my stapler at work…I feel a deep blush in my cheeks and a deep heat between my legs.
