There are no guarantees in life
Not for the present,
Nor for the future.
All I know is
That I'm here;
Don't know for how long.
I love the way
You live so intensely
Enjoy every minute of life
With space to swing
Your arms around
Laughing loudly.

Plenty of Fish in the Closet
Alright, I’ll admit it. It was me.
I’m guilty…
… of fishing.
In a “Plenty of Fish” kind of way.
That’s right, Lady J has indulged in online dating.
Well, I suppose that statement is contingent on one’s definition of “dating”.
Currently, in my little corner of cyberspace, there’s a lot more “online” than “dating” going on, but still… I have registered, conversed with and met several fish in the process. As one lovely friend put it, I am building my school.
And what a school it is turning out to be.
I have met more than one interesting individual thus far. And by “interesting” I mean interesting.
Now, this term could be synonymous with “cool”. Some of these people are most definitely cool. Others have been “interesting” in a “dear lord, what just happened” kind of way.
Like the guy who asked me if I’d like him to buy me shoes. Or the lovely women who continually seem to deduce “I’m a lesbian” from the statement “interested in men”.
Not only am I meeting many new, interesting people, I’ve also been learning some new things. Acronyms, for example. “DTF” is the latest one. It took me awhile to decipher and, in all honesty, I ultimately had to have it explained to me. Apparently I’m way too naive to think that someone would send something like that to a complete stranger…
The point being, the more time I spend in this… ocean… the more fish I come into contact with, and the volume of lovely messages I receive increases. Like this one:
"One words fit all...lol, am not try impress u, jsut saw u mention he must have full time job, my part time job only to make me away from internet at nite, serious I'm not so good at dating, social, dat's why I end up here look for future partner...anyway...If I'm not quiet (u might think I'm talkative but, it's jsut english, in mandarin, it's so talkative, i ain't gd at that) why I still single, I love my puppy, in person, I don't talk much, but once u accept me & also have a puppy, then that's where conversation start & I'm here to find a gal, christian or not, to come to auckland if she could & marry me as I'm not after green card...if...I am new here & I'm Nick (modern Peter Pan) & am looking for gorgeous & cute gal for marriage & she must able to come to Auckland for marry me coz that's where I'm living the past 23yrs, I came from Taiwan
my email is...
Are u a advanture type or home & DVD type? I'm 50 50
New Zealand the few paradise left over in the world, also good place to have family with, would you plan the same?
I've email to many gals similar mail contents, I'm not asking all gals come2NZ & for me to choose coz I'm only one person & ain't a king either, I just want a gal to reply with positive action, and can marry me ASAP & that will be the end of fairy tale"
I know, I know. How can one resist a modern Peter Pan?
I'll admit this much: it is proving difficult to choose between all of those fish swimming around the water closet.
