A MAN BAN? WHY NOT!!!

It all began as I opened my fresh and newly bought copy of Company magazine. My favourite magazine of the year so far. I flicked to my favourite part of the magazine which was the fashion spread obviously followed by the beauty report and then onto the scopes and so forth. But there was one part of the issue that intrigued me, the latest trend in a singles girl life that is "a man ban".

It is said that in a man ban women are not allowed to flirt with the opposite sex, get their numbers, kiss them, hug them or do the DEED with them. (Sex in other words) so, I thought to myself why would any woman or young woman in my case want to subject themselves to painful months of no guys? Then it hit me, I needed it. I'm realised that I was actually the biggest flirt that was born. (Well that's not really true, look at Urika Johnson. Jesus, she's open more than tesco) but many of friends have laughed while saying "Han, you are such a flirt" and I would reply, "I was just being friendly!" which to me I was but it doesn't always seem that way.

Alot of people know that I have been boyfriendless for seven months and as much as I have missed him I've also been thankful because I can NEVER adapt to relationships and single life seems to suit me alot more than it does when I'm with someone. I hate meeting the parents, I don't like to share my bed with ANYONE, I am awkward in the sense that I annoy alot of people because of that quality and I have big ambitions. So the idea of falling in love and sharing every single dark corner of my mind with someone "special" terrifies me. Whereas single life means, no strings attached dates and mindless flirting. But you can still get lonely, I know I am.

So, I had my BFF to take a look at it and she was impressed by just as much as I was. It seemed like a good idea to follow througha and have some fun with. So, for three months I shall give myself a man ban. No flirting or texting for 3 months!!!!! Holy shit, three months???? How art wilt thou live??????

ALL THE SINGLE LADIES, ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!!!

As I stood in the foyer awaiting the arrival of my friend Bronwen since her brilliant show footloose (posted below) I had the problem of the wandering eye as I caught sight of all the good looking chaps that had appeared in the show as dancers, singers and actors. It soon escalated to practically grabbing the lead actor, telling the other lead that he was hot (yes, he was scared) and getting a hug from one of the dancers! No doubt was that the icing on top of the cake!

But I suppose that all comes with the territory of being single, and girls, what a sweet life it really is. I mean, only a few months ago I was practically sad and mopey that I was single and missed all those hugs and kisses and long phonecalls to the boyfriend. I was dumped only seven months ago on my seventeenth by text! no doubt I was upset, angry, hurt, confused and couldn't stop crying. We weren't together that long but due to our friendship of five years that really put more salt in the wounds because we weren't from being friends to lovers and suddenly we are no longer on speaking terms. But I suppose I learnt my lesson, and that's not to get involved with your friends unless your really sure it's what you both want and need.

So, I moped around the place and tried to think of ways to get him back and call him my boy again, but all my strategies failed as he had moved on and I was frozen in time because I didn't know what to do. I missed him, I miss him now but when I think to myself "I would give anything to have him as my man again", I think to myself, "he dumped me on my birthday by text! what a sleaze", then suddenly life seems much better.

So, seven months on and no real attachments just flirts and giggles with handsome lads and let me tell you, it is great! It's better this way because no one really gets hurt and everyone wins somehow. Instead of staying in and listening to terrible love songs and crying, I am actually getting out and just being 17 and having so much fun! I mean, at least now I can focus on my own ambition and dreams rather than be pulled back and hurt over and over again. And believe me, I have been hurt way to effing much by people in the past. So, yes I am single, yes, it's fun and no, I don't want a boyfriend because love is a game, easy to start hard to finish!

Oh and my ex is a bastard.

GOTTA CUT LOOSE, FOOTLOOSE.......

So, last night was WAWWAWS musical theatre production of footloose, the classic tale of rebellion and dancing..... obviously! And I must say, I have never seen such a great company do such a performance. My college is pretty good within themselves but WAWWAWS seem to blow everyone away EVERYTIME not to mention the main lead was hooottttttt......... who I very abruptly scared by forcefully hugging the poor boy (truly sorry) not to mention I made a massive fool of myself infront of the guy that played Willard! but apart from that it was a good night. My reason for travelling all that way for a show was because I wanted to support and watch my life long buddy do her thang on stage, which she did, and she looked so radiant whilst doing so. So, a good night, I enjoyed!
