Sometimes, You Just Know

Like the day I knew I couldn't be with my live-in boyfriend - The Mummy's Boy (on steroids) - anymore.

Having spent the day tirelessly and patiently collecting beer cans and preparing potato salads for an all-male drink-fest at our new abode, I was feeling pretty much over boys, beer and being a domestic goddess. It's rare for me to so much as sniff alcohol and not become an active, table-dancing drinking participant. More rare for me to clean up after anyone - including myself. A trail of clothing, shoes, handbags, keys leads directly to my bedroom any day of the week. Robbers - you know exactly where to go. Rapists, feel free: it's been about 3 weeks since my last shag.

After throwing my hideously drunk Mummy's Boy into the shower, I was horrified to glance over my shoulder (in a mirror of course - where else would one be on a Saturday afternoon but in front of a mirror, examining one's pores?) and see a monster.

First, I saw his butt. Two slices of prime beef, with a hefty slathering of hair perkily pointed in my direction. I briefly thought "I've had enough arseholes for one day, thanks." The thought died in the neuron receptors, as they processed the vision of a white towel, folded in half and very neatly nestled beneath the monstrously hairy arse cheeks of my apparently adult lover. Legs akimbo and pulled up to his chest, I stared in horror at the heartbreakingly child-like expression on his face.

"Change me" he whimpered, as he clutched at his toes.

You Give Good Text

Saturday night was a dress-up party. We don't celebrate Halloween here in Australia - unless you're a lame hipster attempting to channel Brooklyn-chic - so this was pure costume, for no reason other than the fact that costume parties are:
  1. an opportunity to dress as sexily/skankily as possible; and
  2. an opportunity to judge people - guys in particular. If they play it safe or don't dress up they're outta there. There are no '3 strikes' in costume-party-world.
Of course I leapt at the opportunity to dress in all my skin-tight, black, pussy-cat glory: tequila is wasted on the girl in the corner dressed as Mary Poppins.

3am approached. While I'd burned up the dance-floor and writhed senselessly with the doorframe, my whiskers were yet to be smudged by a tiger. My drunken text, only somewhat sophisticated by the addition of a picture, was delivered to 2 inboxes - a social experiment had unwittingly been created.

Option 1: Babe u are ridiculously hot, we are having a massive cook up should get here ... biggest babe ever! Mwah mwah.

I'm not joking. Every time I see "cook up", I think "cock-up". That was the worst text message I've ever seen... Except perhaps for "you can't keep drinking tequila like that".

Option 2: God you look good. Apart from a lot of kissing, I would definitely have to pay a great deal of attention to your breasts tonight. ....

(And then it became X-rated).
