My little bubble - don't touch it!

So we all have our comfort zones, some are good and keep us sane, and others may be bordering obsessive-compulsive disorder. I'm not referring to the 'relationship comfort zone' which most people dread as they feel the relationship becomes routine and loses lust, excitement and drive. Hmm, I can't say as though I've ever experience this as my track record for relationships is a mere 3 months - no time there for any sort of comfort zone.

Anyway, the comfort zones I'm referring to are the more simple things. As an example I will give you two rules of thumb (straight from the crazy mind of moi). So first is the bathroom stall rule of thumb. In my mind, when there are 8 stalls to choose from and only one is taken (the one I'm in) do NOT take the one directly beside me. Why would you subconsciously even do such a thing? I know it's not as personal and 'open' as a urinal but it's still too close for comfort. The second (and yes I admit, I do have the border-line OCC comfort zones) is the close talker. The close talker usually stands abnormally close to you, so much so, that another millimeter would result in a kiss. To me, standing this close to someone causes them to look blurry, you to look cross-eyed and it's just plain weird - so don't do it.

All in all, I'm not crazy I just like my space. I do realize though, this may be something I'll have to work on in order to improve my relationship track record from 3 months to maybe even 6!

Can you define me?

I had a great conversation with an old friend a couple of days ago and I not only miss him but also the way he thinks. I feel we are on the same page sometimes and lately I feel like I'm in a world of my own. We started talking about careers and how so many people think it defines them or they search out a job they think will define them. Now I personally had quite a bit of trouble with this for the longest time. I felt I needed to find a job, even if it meant going back to school, that somewhat defined a part of me. Why do so many of us do this? I know I know its society. Just think about it for a second though. How many people ask you what you do when you first meet them? If you say something like, 'I work at McDonalds' then they are probably going to give you a blank stare. If you say something like 'I'm a doctor' they give you this look like you ARE somebody. Then they usually go on to say "oh really that's wonderful. You save lives daily... incredible".

Our careers are really only a portion of our lives. Be it a large portion when you think of how much time you spend in your tiny jail cell cubicle. But honestly, so many other things define who I am and I really don't think I can simply be defined by one aspect. Sure I may hate my job, but I have so many other things worth talking about which are so much more interesting than my job or university degree. You have to be able to open your eyes and see the whole picture. So to add to the age-old quote - don't judge a book by it's cover, I will add, don't judge a person by their career.

Behold my eye?!

It's another boring day at work today, but I am stoked that it's Friday! It's raining outside so I don't wish I was out there doing anything and besides I'm pretty much getting paid to write in my blog!

So my thoughts today are once again about the opposite sex (surprised?). I know you are all aware of the saying 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Now I do agree with this, seeing as though some of the guys I find attrative, my friends do not (some have even gone as far as calling them meat heads). Wouldn't it be funny if some of my exes actually read this! HA!

Okay so, none of us are the same, personality, style, or look-wise. Unless of course you are a twin or believe in the craziness that is happening on the show 'lost' - where everyone has a twin on the opposite side of the world somewhere. That's a whole other blog though. Anyway, I personally think style speaks loudly of someone's personality. I'm not saying that clothes make a person but they definitely can give an insight or preview to a fraction of the person's personality.

For the most part, even though we may say we don't have a type of person we are attracted to there is a style that you would be more attracted to. I know that I am, and I pretty much go for similar styles or types of guys every time. So if we all have our own style, and are attracted to a certain style then you really can say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However this makes me wonder does my personal style attract the type of guy I'm attracted to? Maybe I'm attracted to a style of guy who is not attracted to my style of girl. Sort of a twisty thought isn’t it?!

My quick solution, open your eyes and appreciate all styles or dye your hair blue and hope it causes more attraction to you! HA!
