Grabbing a spoon


Wow, i really have neglected my fingertips of late! No bitching for more than a week and a half, how in spheghetti's name did i manage that? Oh yeah, i remember now, stupid unwritten confidentiality and major-moment-less weeks. Well, i say that, but do i actually mean it? Things did happen, and that what im going to do now, is talk about what has happened. Now some of it will be in brief as i have to respect something’s that were shared in confidence. Other stuff i can let my typing and typo's wonder and bitch, moan, big-up, laude, praise, gush and generally brag about.

So where to begin, its been so long im unsure of date's and timing. So ill just talk in general and cover issue's under general fields. The first field being my good friend Cleo, second field being Baby hospital and depending on what comes into my conscious thoughts misc or otherwise.



Cleo:
So this is a slightly difficult thing to talk about as im bound by saying i wont say stuff thats to revealing. So ill just mull over what has happened etc. Some of it is out of date and pointless but anyhoo. More than 2 weeks ago, the day after my last post as far as i can remember, i had a great lunch with. Great moments etc, good convo, shared a draft of the first chapter of my story with her. It was a good time had etc, and at one point i gave her a back massage. But i think i only ever came off as a good friend, which was confusing and frustrating. Things went on anyway and i championed a possible Father Ted night at her's for her to our friends. But when PG wasnt able to make it kind-of fell apart. But just before that i met up her after a very long day in the spawning centre and had good convo's with her etc. Details of which i cant cover. Half the time i really wanted to make a move and try and kiss her and this made me silent and shy. There was a few moments but i couldnt get any sense of anything back from her so i shied away. I was hesitant as she left, mainly about how i missed my chance and i didnt know what to do. So in my infinite wisdom i texted her and told her how i felt etc. Didnt go to swimmingly and she said she would think about it. Then as the whole dvd-age fell apart i basically shot myself in my Mr Nice guy foot and said i didnt want to go if there was still an ambiguity about "us". I didnt want to feel uncomfortable or for anyone to get hurt. In truth i was protecting myself in a roundabout way cause i dont think i can take any more one-sided rejection. So no dvd. Lonesome past weekend, but something else happened which i'll divulge later. As of the past 2 days were still friends and things are alright etc. She has several suitors and other people in her respective crosshair's where as i have her and 1 new person, with minor chances' in general. So its all wait and see, but for now we're friends.


The Spawning pool:
So for the past 2 weeks i was in a maternity hospital doing my Midwifery and Obstetrics placement for my course. Now ive heard bad things about this specific hospital and how they treated general nursing students in the past but i found it was a good enough placement. Its definitely something i didnt have a clue about. After all it was possibly the most female bits id seen in real life over such a short time. Oddly it made me feel that i really want to be a father. And okay, for a guy of 20 thats slightly odd, but i really do. Maybe I’m the real Ted Mosby? But anyway, i liked it. But what i liked even more was making friends with the people in my new year. There was 5 other people on the placement, and as predictable all girls. Oh the statistics always sound so good dont they, 5/1, sometimes i have to love my course for that alone. They were all interesting, and i will try and name each of them and mention what they were like as at least 1 of them will hopefully feature in future blogs so i might as well include them.

Daisy: Probably the one i got along best with and from day one i saw there was something between us. Really cute, long wavy dark hair, braces and surprisingly lazy. Being a fan of old rock and Muse and a fan of Mel Brookes also being amazing. For some reason she gave me a massive sense of Deja Vu for days, dont know how or why but it was interesting. We got on really well and i spent many a lunch break hanging back just to talk to her. On my last day her and me were on the same ward and we both took a MASSIVE break of around 4 hours due to different excuse's and we spent most of it talking. It was great. By the end of the day i got her number and an answer of "maybe" to the question "..would you like to go out some time". Forever more this will be known as a grabbing a spoon moment. For those not in the Pop-Culture Know this is a reference too the Pilot episode of friends where Joey claimed there was many flavours of ice cream and ross had to just grab a spoon to start dating again, so he put a similar question to Rachel by the closing minutes. The rest as they say is.... a very prolonged and influential and slightly mediocre sitcom that helped define a decade.

BOB-BA: A bouncy and odd little blonde who could really talk and talk. She was really sound and i spend a day on a ward with her. Surprisingly she's a female computer gamer which was interesting. She also told a lot of stories about ex-bf's and stalkers. Which in general made me feel sorry for my fellow man, and slightly superior as even in my most psychotic lust fueled moments i never got as bad as some of the guys in those story's. I guess the interenet is good for at least something then; looking like an ass depends on perspective not facts.

Mini-J: A nickname that probably means very little, but as she looks like someone else it seemed be-fitting. One person i didnt actually get to learn much about but she was very friendly and usually around. Being from the OTHER hospital i probably wont see much of her again but she was interesting. I cant think of much to say about her, other than she was cute and had a scar on her forehead i didnt ask about for fear of sounding insulting.

Drummy: An interesting girl also from the other hospital. Surprisingly friendly and normal etc despite a rather off-putting outward appearance. Is it just me or are hair extensions and orange skin really really wrong? But she was sound enough. Bizarrely also had stalker stories to tell and had two mobiles on the go at once each with different cost saving packages. Smart if you think about it, but also confusing, although i suppose you get used to it.

Nute: Barely saw this girl for most of the placement. Most of the time i couldnt remember her name. She was rather quiet and reserved and wasnt around at every lunch. But i got the sense that it wasnt that she was shy but more she was anti-social or had some sort of angst. I couldnt tell, she seemed pretty quiet and frankly un-noticeable. If anything id flag her as at risk of certain things if i knew more about her. Maybe it was just the way she was but something wasnt right about it all.



Misc and other musings:

Hmmm, i dont really know what to say for this. I remember on one of my days off last week i saw a slightly hilarious exchange between Kaffee and Percy about our last fraudulent leader. It was pretty funny. As far as i could tell they were preparing for a debate where they were on a difficult side supporting said leader and ideologically as team-mates they werent on the same page but giving it a bash anyway. I think it was more Percy disagreeing with what they wanted to say and talking about the truth of the situation than actually dealing with what they were doing. But i couldnt understand half of it anyway, so i didnt really care. In other news, the society went plastic this year, im all for Ferns, other than that cotton one, but a plastic tree? Such a waste. A building of about 103 years old with gothic features and they put plastic in the corner? SHAME!

Also the other week Cailin had her first debate in the large room and apparently it went very well. I wasnt there but i heard that she actually stumbled the rather offensive fat man from LIAR's-R-US. Good for her i guess. I on the other had screwed up my Academy speech, i must have forgotten to thank god, my hairdresser etc No in truth, i prepared an idea that i thought was clever, and it wasnt really and i didnt carry it well or make it work in situ with what was happening in the debate. It was shite really. But i shall return, mwhahahahaha, well to IV's and the big room anyway.


Hmm, i cant actually think of much else to say. I think i covered most of it. I have several things scheduled for tomorrow. The Virgin sacrifice and a xmas party/dvd night thing at PG's. I dont think i will be able to make the post-sacrifice box-social but i will still suit up for the main event and then bus my way out to the 2nd city for some late night dvds and possible no sleep. 10/1 possibly being the ratio at the sleep-over, but i have to go into placement the next morning, madness. But ill do it anyway, somehow, someway.
