and now it’s time to address my love life.

boys cause me stress, and i’ve stopped trying to understand them. i’m sure you’ll agree. but i guess it’s still fun to examine how crazy they make me and the girls.

let’s start with dimples. she was in a relationship for about 144 years, which we all thought would end in marriage. it didn’t. she’s perfect, he wasn’t. so after some fun, she’s ready for a new boyfriend. the problem is that boyfriends aren’t exactly easy to come by. it seems that every boy who wants a girlfriend has one and the rest are too immature to figure it out. the best part is that people love to ask her why she doesn’t have a boyfriend. sorry dimps, that nobody gave you directions to the boyfriend store.

maybe in your dreams.

so we’re on a boyfriend hunt for her, no exaggeration. we’ve discussed having a casting call so she can have her pick of eligible boys, actually interested in a girlfriend. we’ll see how long it stays a joke. and if you know anyone, send him our way.

next up is the foreigner. she recently broke up with her boyfriend. they’re trying the friendship thing, but it hasn’t been working out too well. she still cares and he’s an idiot. and we all know that the second she gets over it, he’ll be interested again. because that’s what boys do.

and beemer, jr. she’s in love with an israeli soldier who’s in love with the hot and cold game. the distance is killer for her. but she’ll be in israel for the summer and we all have our fingers crossed for her. maybe we’ll all be attending an israeli wedding.

speaking of long distance. poody has a boyfriend in australia. it’s a fairly new relationship, but they are actually making it work. funny thing is, even with the distance, her relationship situation is the most normal out of all of us. maybe the key is having a boyfriend in a different hemisphere.

my sissy  was also in a serious relationship. it took a while for it to end for good, and the back and forth made her wary of boys (as she should be). now there’s someone new, let’s hope it works out.

then we have anna kuwait. she’s not in a relationship right now, and she has no drama in her life. i think she has the right idea. no boy, no drama. 

and now i guess it’s my turn. i was in a relationship for what felt like my whole life, 7 years to be exact. we were sure we would get married. he was looking at rings while i was realizing he wasn’t what i wanted. almost 2 years later, i just want to have fun. which means nothing resembling a boyfriend. i love when things are a little complicated. it makes things more fun. but i think i’ve overdosed on complication lately.

there was the bald beauty. he was my first boyfriend (in grade 4) and claims to have loved me since. so pretty much the definition of a charmer. he charmed me into liking him then let his true colours show. they weren’t pretty. and the latest is the doctor. we were having fun until he decided it was getting too serious. it wasn’t. considering i don’t want a boyfriend, i wouldn’t let that happen. so i’m left with all of the complication, but none of the fun.

so we’re all sitting, waiting, wishing.

in the meantime we eat our feelings and just hope it will all fall into place.

and for now, this is how it is.

i know it’s pretty silly to think that things are going better now just because the month has changed, but i’m just loving that april is not march.

and here’s why, so far..

i got accepted to teacher’s college. took me a while, but my dream is finally coming true. the funny thing is, now my biggest problem is deciding which of the schools to go to.

i finally finished school and i’ll be starting an internship shortly. not sure why i’m so happy about this, when i’m clearly going to be spending the rest of my life in a classroom. i guess i’m just excited to see what he publishing industry is all about.

i love you, man. i didn’t stop laughing once while watching this movie. it’s beyond funny. beyond. and if you haven’t already seen it, you should stop whatever you’re doing and go. seriously, go.

and then there’s my teacher’s college celebration. one of my best friends, dimples, and i started it with some shopping, which we already love to do. but shopping for celebration is even more fun, because i convince myself that i deserve everything i’m buying. and a long list of items on my visa bill later, i’m quite delighted with all my new purchases.

next was the return of another one of my best friends, who goes to school in new york and came home to celebrate passover (and teacher’s college, we can pretend)..we’ll call her beemer jr. she’s wonderful and i’m so happy she could be home to partake in the festivities.

then came the real party. my best friends and i became acquainted with a bottle of smirnoff and danced the night away. it was the perfect way to celebrate. we had one of the best nights of our lives (and were kind of feeling it the next morning). hangover or not, they are genuinely proud of me, which is why they are my best friends and exactly why i love them.

i’ve got everyone i know believing that april is going to be a great month..let’s just hope it continues.

and for now, this is how it is.

i was away in aruba (and then catching up on all my homework), but i’m ready to get back to blogging. it’s amazing what a little sun and sand can do.

i don’t think i’m having a mid- or quarter-life crisis anymore. pretty sure i just hate march (at least this year i did). school is over this week and work is getting better. however, the love life? still working on that one. but really, who isn’t. i think the rough patch might be over.

i’d love to believe that i got all of this perspective by lying on the beach. that way, i could guiltlessly run away to a sunny destination whenever i wanted.

being in aruba did make it easy though. it is actually beautiful there and i fell in love with the island’s sentiment.

every license plate reveals the island's ideal

i’ve decided to try and adopt this outlook. what else do people really want in life, but to be happy? (and maybe a closet full of shoes).

i’m still trying to figure life out, but i will definitely be trying not to sweat the small stuff in the meantime. and hopefully everything will work out.

and for now, this is how it is.

i’m starting to think i’m having a midlife crisis.  if life were a movie (which would be great since i’m sure things would be much easier), maybe i would go out and get a fancy red convertible or even an earring. but being only 23, i think i’m a little too young for that.

since my ears are pierced and my mazda is perfectly acceptable, i’ll have to think of something else. maybe starting this blog will help me figure life out.

and what’s with the question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” how about, what do i want to be RIGHT NOW?! (don’t ask me, because i have no clue). i’m in school for publishing, i’m applying to teacher’s college and i’m still confused.

hence, my thinking i’m having a midlife crisis. i guess it could be considered a quarter life crisis..but i’m not even old enough for that.

but i don’t want the world to think that i hate life. because i really don’t, just going through a rough patch. what keeps me going is my friends and family. my family supports me no matter what and i have the very best best friends in the world. they’re always picking up the pieces when i’m a mess and i love them for it.

anyways midlife crisis or not, i’ll figure life out.

and for now, this is how it is.
