Life is BUSY.
Unfortunate timing, as I’m experiencing a distinct funk at present, leaving me utterly drained. I’m an exhausted, heaving assemblage of emotional debris.
I have a residential week at University starting on Monday, (while working at night to keep things at the office on-track). As my dissatisfaction with my current professional role slowly smolders towards [...]

Men, ARGH!!!

Men. *sigh* Why do I bother?
The gulf of understanding on either side leaves me yearning for so much more.
A relationship should be based on mutual respect and understanding.
My current one seems to be more of a battle of egos.

The verbal ping-pong of witty, slightly acerbic, mildly ambiguous banter and the unmistakably enigmatic air of ‘I wonder if they like me back?’

Are there any good men left?
As I teeter on the verge of singledom, I find myself yet again frustrated by my inability to understand the male psyche.
