Of Mimes and Men

I refer back to my first blog about resolutions. I would like to retract the resolution about getting a boyfriend, for a bit of a shake up. Men are weird! And I want NO part of this madness!

Let me explain…. On Friday night, I went to a party with Phillygirl and Varen, among others. We were having a few drinks socialising with various people, as you do. At some stage a guy walked up to our group and just stood there. After a few minutes of listening to our conversation (I think it was about cleavage – being National Cleavage Day) he decides to join in by showing off his very hairy cleavage. This on its own is not a problem! The problem came in when I he asked (with an extremely proud look on his face) whether we could do this? And promptly LICKS HIS OWN NIPPLE!!! WTF??? Did I mention the hairy chest? Needless to say, after we all threw up a little bit in our mouths, we discreetly wandered off, away from this FREAK!!

Another thing I picked up at the party is that men are very fond of slapping each others balls! Where is the fun and entertainment in this? You don’t see girls going around slapping each others boobs or cookies! Though I am sure many men would pay to see that!

Then, on Sunday, I attended the Game Challenge to support colleagues who were running (and incidentally won our category). I was just sitting in the sun enjoying some good conversation. I noticed a mime in the next tent. I HATE MIMES!! And clowns and puppets. The next thing I know the mime has come into our tent! I decided that it was time for a drink and guess what followed me. He stood next to me, miming my movements (as they are known to do). How irritating! I then offered him a drink, he accepted and left. Relief! I was SO close to punching him in the stomach!

A while later, he decides to come and harass us again and starts miming my colleague and them me. Again, I offer him a drink, he accepts. Luckily for us, he was only working until 12:00 and thankfully, it was 12:00. He started talking to us about miming and all that. It apparently pays well, but then again so does stripping! I personally have too much pride and dignity to do either! Though I would rather be a stripper than a mime!

This all got me thinking…. Why the hell would I want a boyfriend if this is the calibre of men that are out there? There is more to be said about men and their very strange and often mind-boggling actions, but I don’t; have the time at the moment! Perhaps over the Easter weekend…. Freaks, the lot of them!
