a new beginning, a new friendship and a bitchy rant

i've been meaning to post for a while now.. but somehow i've never gotten round to doing it..

someone commented the other day that this is more like a diary than a blog.. and now i'm confused.. isnt a blog supposed to be like an online diary/journal?!
do let me know if i'm wrong.. very new to the blogging scene and all..

i SO didnt want to start off the new year/this blog with a whole bunch of new years resolutions/rant about some seriously annoying people but thats what is uppermost on my mind right now so i'm gonna have to..

first the new years resolutions.. yes i know its february and not technically the new year.. and that i've wasted a whole month sitting on my ass not doing anything about my "resolutions" so i'm gonna post them here, so that if any of you catch me sitting around not sticking to these resolutions, you can whup my pretty little butt back into shape...

(1) lose weight: very very very important, i need to fit to be a dancer and i am [i]anything[/i] but fit right now.. so that basically means gym, proper diet and no eating outside food.. at all!!
(2) become more proactive about my career/interests
(3) get my hurt hand fixed properly, its been screwed up for about 4 months now and again for dancing it needs to be completely normal.. also for painting
(4) write to my friends out of town more often
(5) generally write more often, i'm getting sick of people tellin me that i can write but i aint doing anything about it, so i will faithfully try to put up atleast one post in 2 days
(6) i need to take of my skin and all, generally beautify.. i've never been a big one for doing that kinda stuff, but the little effort put into making yourself look nice, (not one of those 'glamdoll' madeup model types) is totally worth the effort.
(7) work on learning how to sketch, ye ai know its sounds odd that a 'painter' cant draw, but i am a painter after all not an artist and that too a self taught painter.. so i must learn how to draw with pencil/chracoal/ink etc..
should finish one sketch/painting/drawing a day

i should stop there, anymore and i wont have a life, not that i have much of one nowadays but yea..




and now we come to the rant: *evil grin*

have you ever met someone who, initially seems nice, but kinda over-enthusiastic.. and once you kinda get to know them, seriously starts to annoy the hell outta you? this is happening to me right now..

say about a couple months ago i met a girl (lets call her X) through some common friends and we hung out a bit, she also dances so we used to go out dancing and stuff, did a bit of shopping and hung around at coffee shops.. 'sipping overpriced espressos' (as my friend B so eloquently puts it)

she seemed nice, we had fun hanging around, it always feels good to get to know someone new..though she seemed a tad bit overexcited about everything in life..
now that i look back, i think the problem started when X was introduced to a couple of my friends and she started hanging with them too..and suddenly she was pushing herself into every aspect of my life, calling me all the time, saying stuff about how much the 2 of us had in common, (which, btw, wasnt much at all) and i started feeling a bit suffocated.. and slowly slowly i started getting veryvery annoyed with her.. the woman (actually she's a child, no matter how mature she claims to be) actually started telling me what my friends were upto! i mean, seriously, the gall of this girl knows no bounds.
i even tried to hint in some very obvious ways that i dont much care for her, but it doesnt have seemed to have worked, can a person be really that thick-skinned? or is it that she's just that desperate to be friends with me?





*snort* (yea riiiight, dont kid yourself, Nat)


the thing is, she's rude, obnoxious, hypocritical, overobsessive, childish, thick-skinned, opinionated and extremely clingy..
EVERYTHING about her has started pissing me off.. and now i cant stand to be around her...
BUT the problem is that for some reason i keep calling her up, and we keep meeting... is it because i'm masochistic, as another friend pointed out (hmph!), or is it just that we have a lot in common, interest-wise and we end up doing fun things together?

*sigh*

oh and i made a new friend... finally found someone with whom i can watch old movies, attend blues concerts and listen to old music.. :D... good feeling!
