Wisdom: Rest is V. Important

It's been a lovely day home alone, spent on some long-needed rest, talking hour after dreamy hour with F on Skype, listening to music, supping on thin-crust pizza and cold blackcurrant cordial, lounging around naked. My good mood has been restored. :)

Here are the last 2 parts of Daniel's Fives meme:

Five turnoffs in other people

1. Rudeness and fake niceness.
2. Trying (seriously) to speak in an accent that clearly does not come naturally. Eg. Speaking with a British accent after visiting the UK for 2 months.
3. Making fun of those less fortunate than oneself, such as the disabled or even the socially inept.
4. Greed for power/megalomania, no matter how small the scope.
5. An attitude of helplessness in spite of the obvious ability to help oneself.

Five things that were probably spawned by the Devil

1. Music videos that shove sex and bling bling into the audience's faces.
2. The Thin Ideal.
3. The irresistible urge to give in to lying down for just "a few minutes" when you are really tired but still have a lot to do, knowing somewhere in the back of your mind that you will fall asleep.
4. The idea most employers have that just because they pay the salaries, they have the right to all your free time (as if you sold your soul to the Devil? :P ).
5. The female predilection for shiny things.

And now, I'd like to share an amusing, but somewhat alarming snippet of a recent conversation with a new dancemate:

Me: are you a manager?
C: was an accountant
C: tho life was tough then
C: now a financial analyst
C: life is goin down the drain
C: should have stuck to being an accountant
C: i'm trying to con my bf into marrying me so dat i can quit work and go full time into dancing
C: and charity work
C: but he's too smart to be conned.
C: :'(

Do men really have to be conned into marriage these days?


P/S: Meme was fun. Should I do the Sevenses too? Heh heh
