Whilst reading my Monday morning news online, I came across an article which headlined as "man attacked by monkeys". At first I thought it was a joke, but when I opened it up, it described how a senior official (deputy mayor in New Delhi) was attacked by a gang of Rhesus Macacques and during the scuffle, fell out of his balcony and died.
Damn.

Word of the day
Poots.
It's a great word... I used it at least 5 times since I got home today, mostly in the context of "I'm pootsed out".
..mostly used as an adjective, it's synonymous to 'tired' but on a greater scale. Adam likes to use it as "that's poots", so that he has more to say than just "shiiiit" to all my stories.
Great word - it'll be the next big thing.
On that note, work tomorrow at 6am after a great long weekend in Niagara - that's pooooots.

So I met this guy...
So having become recently "non-single" - wow that's a wordy way of saying I now have a boyfriend - I am being faced with lots of "relationshippy things". These range from the joy of having someone in your life that is a man and that you can really be your complete self with, but also to all those annoying issues like "trust" and "commitment" and "feelings"... etc.
I admit, I really like being single when I am single, and I could never give that up to someone I am not crazy about. But when it's someone who is a good match, there's no question of giving up my bachelorette status - it's worth it.
I did, however, forget that inevitable rollercoaster that happens in the beginning that everyone conveniently forgets about. Of course it's a great time, with lots of getting to know each other and crazy chemistry - but on the flip side, you have to build trust and be secure in knowing this person will still like you when they DO see your crazy side. And getting to know someone's buttons is fun, but also disconcerting if you press the wrong one and the machine shuts off.
Point being, I think I've realized that being single is easier - which doesn't make it right or wrong, but if you're not ready to put in the work (and it could be fun work!) you are a sucky partner. And although being in a relationship requires commitment (gasp) and compromising (crap) it's so rewarding at the end of the day.
Allllll of this to say, in obviously the most romantic way possible, is that I am no longer single, and I am super happy about it :)

Too much estrogen...
I swear, today I've reached my peak - I've had it with chicks. Too much attitude, too many moods and inconsistency across the board. I hate to insult my sex but hanging out with mostly boys the past few weeks has really highlighted the fact that hanging out with girls is so much more stressful. Too much "self-editing" and talking about feelings can really get exhausting.
P.S. This rant does not include any of my friends, since I have seriously cool girlfriends. Well, most of them.
