met thambie today-

she is most positively the most bimbotic (in an intelligent way? i know it's oxymoronic but it's true) but most fantastic thing that has happened to me since i got to stay in hall-

i don't know why i like hanging out with her really-

we have absolutely nothing in common;

but she is so lively and chatty and so cheerful but also... grounded?

and being with her makes me happier, girlier, and more, i don't know, relaxed?

it's like i don't have to be strong and cool and like that all the time,

i always believe that when you're hanging out with people,

it's like you have to be/act in a complimentary manner, to really appreciate and to bring out the best in other people, and so as to enjoy the kind of dynamic/chemistry you have with them.

If the other person likes to be outgoing, i'd let he/she do the talking and just listen,

If the other person wants some advice, i'd give the best solution i can come up with,

If the other person likes to be protected, then i'd do the best i can to be strong and take the lead-

with mel i feel like i can be girly and silly in a way i can never really be with some of my other friends; i'm always the sensible, reasonable, dependable, down-to-earth one , sometimes even cool to the point of being chilly or icy (unapproachable, as what some people may think)

and in a way i feel like she truly and genuinely appreciates me as a person,

and as girl- she would ask me things that people would never,

she would think that i would have thoughts that other people would never imagine,

and i guess to her

i'm just like any other girl/woman/female

which is kind of nice, in a way.

i didn't/don't always have to be strong/cool,

but i don't remember why (but) it seems since i could remember,

i was always (trying to be) this way.

today my boss gave me a pat/tap on my shoulder to gesture me to get up and go with him into the client's pantry to get a drink.

i cannot describe in words how nice it is to have such a personable and funny and caring boss like that- who really cares for you as a person and bothers to make small talk with you about random things and shares about his family and kids and holiday plans

and i most positively love the way he says 'rubbish' in his oh-so-british manner.

damn.

(i am still secretly sniggering at the uber-cute blackberry wallpaper of his 2 children.)

thursday!

it's a bit on a whim, but....
