The Angry Dieter

Update on current life at the moment.. I had a job interview for a TL role at work, I will find out tomorrow (this morning) how I went.
.

MM is going to come and visit me in October I think, he has about 2/3rds of the $$ needed for his tickets. I am happy and excited. I miss our afternoon walks.

I realised that Dad’s friend was cracking on to me in a big way, like.. I figured out part of it when I was sitting out on MM’s balcony and drying my hair, with his comment late on the second night I was at his house “oh i was rather hoping you would show me around”. This is after he had made a big deal about the Eros fountain in london, which I had never heard of. Apparently young people go there hoping to find out their true loves, to which I scorned the whole idea of people going to a fountain like that in the middle of London to look for love. Then there was the pity comments, about his life and stuff, how lonely he was etc. Finally the comment about how much money he has saved. Let’s not forget the sitting next to me and his feet stretching out to touch my feet when we were on the tube. So.. he tried the romance tricks, the money one.. and the pity party tricks, to which I was totally oblivious because 1: I wasn’t attracted to a 45+ yr old man with a massive chip on his shoulder, whinged and moaned like Moaning Myrtle from Harry Potter, who has pauline hanson One nation beliefs and 2: I liked and was meeting someone else and 3: who on earth would find someone like me attractive in the first place?. So I told mum, and she said “Don’t ever tell your father” bwahaha that’s so funny.
I had on my night in London by myself, an interesting discussion with an Iranian man, who was a resident of Dubai, living in london. He was writing a book of para-psychology? I didn’t quite get it. He was a psychologist none the less. He is writing about how some people use religion to get the population to do what they wish, like sheep. How people let their religious beliefs override common sense. He also didn’t like how psychology was taught these days. We both shared the same idea that Psychology should be learnt, not taught. I don’t know if everyone would agree with that, but there is something wrong with 23 yr olds providing counselling services (yes it happens in govt depts.) So after our chat he wanted to know if he could do anything for me. I asked if he could mend my heart, and he smiled and said, “no, but I can walk you to your hotel” I declined his offer, but our chat made me feel better.

I think Kenny Rogers is too brown and looks like he has had too much public surgery, and since I am watching Paid Adverts and they are advertising Time Life Country music CD’s, it is time for me to sleep.
