Hearts and Minds

This is the struggle – between hearts and minds, between words and actions.  

Like struggling between giggles and a facepalm when asked if I wanted to ‘cuddle legs’ with my date in the car rather than having him sit in the passenger’s seat (I chose the latter). 

Some of us don’t fight this good fight – some of us have very little to hide.

“Hey, gurrrrl!”

How the Mighty Fall

Well, I’m dating. 

And it’s about as lovely as you’d expect. 

You know, long walks in the mud, experiencing behavioural segregation, having dinner with my roommate, listening to a rat die in the next room... 

...Perhaps I should start from the beginning.

Just a Spoonful

I am slightly sociopathic.  Just a little. 

This epiphany was brought to you by Butters (and the letters F and U) during an argument in which I raved that he was never on my side, didn’t love me, and never would.

Unmentionables

...It’s been a while.

You’ll never believe what happened.

My organization offered me a position after the ending of my placement, even going so far to ask whether a certain salary would be acceptable.  This nebulous offer (the second of its kind) felt good but, as I sat on a moto for an hour to get to a health centre where we would be carrying out a supervisory field mission, I had time to reflect on it.

As that happened to be a day on which being female and taking a long moto ride just did not go well together, I decided I would rather set my head on fire.
