Straight Up

The crooked cranny of Optimus – the part I am doubtful about - has been righted when he suddenly professed to thinking about marriage. But I supposed one can think about that even if one ain’t straight. I like starting the workday having long and slightly off-tangent + semi-serious msn chats with him (with him as the initiator of course). I like receiving his calls even if they last less than a minute (usually in response to something I smsed).

Best Friend is of the opinion we have lowered our standards impossibly, given the kind of men we are drawn to lately. I feel it simply reflects the lack of attractive and eligible men in our circles, such that it’s easier for someone with a different set of traits to stand out positively. Optimus is not my usual 1.8m tall, dimpled and veined male specimen, but I like his confident, no-nonsense: I-know-what-I-want-and-I-am-getting-it air. It gives me assurance that there are still things in life people can be sure about, even if I’m currently not of them (LOL, referring to both being that thing and person lah).

Interestingly, there has been a visitor with a Japanese id showing up regularly on my tracker lately. Have we met? Could you whiz me off to Japan, please? :)
