I divorced my dream guy in my dreams!


Writer's block. Writer's block. Writer's block. Lets start with a dream.

Last night I had a rather interesting dream. I dreamt my little sister's were getting married and not wanting to be left out I decided to get married along with them. I've really no idea who the guy was and in the dream I didn't seem to care less. All I can recall was a tall, quiet, slim guy who just left me to my destructive ways. Anyhoo I got married. The wedding was all blah blah same old same old things. I don't think they even played The Beatles there which by the way is my biggest wish.

So the next day (still in the dream) things were basically back to normal. I finished work. Met up with my friend, V who asked how my husband was. I paused for a while and remembered. "Good lord. There's a guy waiting for me at 'our' house."

I told her something as if like waving the question away and mentally began plotting on a divorce.

I can't believe it!! A guy can't even hold my attention long enough even in a dream. I got bored in one day!! I got up from my sleep feeling apprehensive and wondering how many marriages I would go through like this.

Annnnd in other news, my mom (of all people) are facing peer pressure from our neighbors. These women, me and brothers had lovingly labeled as 'Desperate Housewives', are actually lecturing my mom on wearing the veil. They chide her for her 'lack of attire' and have even promised to donate an entirely new wardrobe - for free. My mom had finally told them she would do it at the start of ramadan just to get them off her back. Hmmmmm... I wonder how she's gonna dig herself out of this. We'll keep you posted.

My resolution of cutting back costs is still ongoing with some minor glitches...

- Only one shopping spree and no impulsive shopping. (glitch: I've spent Rf 400.00 in one go for just cosmetics)
- No more shoes and heels unless I NEED them. (no glitches)
- Only ONE coffee outing. (glitch: The bad side is that my phone bill is increasing)
- No taxies! (glitch: My legs. My poor legs)

P.S: I just put up that Elijah Wood pic just for the heck of it. And coz I enjoy looking at him.

AzMyst said...

Am with Rigor Mortis on this one... :P You should just give up on guys.

paperclippenny said...

@mini, bad girl and Lavender girl: Thanx guys

@mode: That's what i'm afraid of. One of these days i'm gonna crack and end up binging on shopping

@rigor mortis: lesbian eh? dream on. besides u know better

paperclippenny said...

@azmyst: again! you wish!!

Unknown said...

plotting eh? now id like to hear about them plots..

as for the guys ..and their lack of attention 'worthiness' is becoming rampant..kinda sad though really...such a shame such a shame..

p.s what makes u guys think a lesbian will hold her (our) attention?

paperclippenny said...

@Shanu plotting dho. I'm afraid i didn't get that far in the dream. I think i'll just probably talk to the guy and try to work it out and if that doesn't work, we'll just sign them papers.

At least i learned a lesson here, did i?! Don't get married just for the sake of getting married.

Rigor Mortis said...

err shanu...it is evident that guys dont hold your attention, i think what is left is women. You women always say that women are better than men. obviously women do hold your attention. Or is it that women are too scared to say "I am better than you"????

Unknown said...

not all men.. some men do hold my attention.. them damned cherries.. :)

anyway..its more of a human thing.. ppl are letting themselves rot away by doing nothing better than talking about other ppls business and watching soaps and back stabbing... they'v got nothing interesting to say besides bitch about something or someone..frankly not my idea of as pleasant time...

paperclippenny said...

maybe it is excessive disappoint in the past that finally bore us.

AzMyst said...

Did you ever think that maybe it was you who couldn't hold THEIR attention? And not the other way around. Guys do tend to get distracted very easily if they think there's something better around the corner.

Thom said...

Lol...
My moms totally going through the same thing. But I'm hoping she doesnt budge.
Well I have a feeling being lesbian wouldnt solve anything.. PMS.. bitching... pink pink pink.. What you say? Well... I'd go crazy.
Maybe the issue is lack of intelligent, fun guys. All I seem to run into are assholes. Well, almost.
;) Nice blog!

Rigor Mortis said...

well thom, fun intelligent guys are out there...(insert x-files themesong)..and i am a bit happy that you know what we guys go through..with the pms and all.

paperclippenny said...

@azmyst "Guys do tend to get distracted very easily if they think there's something better around the corner." - ditto

But ur right there too.

paperclippenny said...

@thom that is exactly what i'm talking about. There's hardly any intelligent, fun guys (with the exception of those guys who are probably gonna hang me for saying this).

oh. my.

im a little late here arnt i?

im with thom on this one.

Thom said...

Keke. Hi5 girls.
I just had to respond to Rigor Mortis - I'm no feminist but dude, you have no idea what we go through with the "I'm the maaaan, I must act like an total idiot to prove I'm a maannnnn" nonsense either :P!

paperclippenny said...

@kaiza shozey: thanx man! :) I've already told my mom just to say 'no!' to them. But she doesn't seem to want to upset them

The Shadowrunner said...

I COULD make your nosy neighbours dissappear - for a simple, modest payment...

*insert ye olde typical madman laugh here*

What do I want?. Food...

---

Good luck with the cutback projects!. Don't worry about your legs - you'll get tougher as long as you eat the right foods.
