#BlogLife375 - Chatty chicks watching flicks 4 - Bridgerton edition

I find myself hurrying the year up so we can catch up on all the drama of Bridgerton in 2023.

After watching both seasons, what's your favourite or do you like them equally well?

For me I have to say the second is far more entertaining. It just made me laugh more and there was more playfulness.

The first season seemed more angst ridden. I wonder if Edwina will be in series 3 and will she find a love interest? The Prince perhaps?

I also wonder if they are going to throw Colin and Penelope together what is going to happen when he finds out about her alter ego??

I'm not sure he is the forgiving type. I'm still on the fence about that couple, he still doesn't seem quite over Marina.

I feel like if she suddenly clicked her fingers and asked Colin to run away with her, he wouldn't hesitate....

Also what is it going to take to repair Eloise and Penelope's friendship, they aired out some bitter truths.

Is Eloise going to rekindle the flame with the Printer guy? Or will there be someone new?

Will Kate and Anthony make an appearance? I hope so. Their competitive spirit is fun to watch.

But season 1 made me fall in love with Lady Danbury, one of my favourite characters, sweet and tough and her relationship with the baby Duke aww.

How she mentored and cared for him, got him to open up and develop some confidence and inner strength against his unfeeling papa.

The one thing I did prefer is that Simon and Daphne transformed onto a first name basis and Kate and Anthony didn't really.

But I enjoyed both couples falling in love and distaste turning into something far more pleasurable.

Bring on Season 3 and all the drama that unfolds with it. Have you found any similar shows to binge?

I haven't, I seem to get tired of them quite quickly and quit watching them, then refer back to something I know I loved previously.

#BlogLife286 - Next came MD..

I told myself I had gotten over my chat fix but I think it was a combination of things that persuaded me otherwise..

I'm still having one day periods. This is my third one to date. It's never been three in a row before, that's weird even for me. I just hope it eventually skips or plays out and then, returns to semi normal soon.

In addition to this, I feel a bit burned out on fiction. The stories just completely occupy my mind and there is very lil peace during this creative process, so writing a few back to back was different.

It's not my normal schedule, I space them out a lot but I was inspired so I carried on and I am pleased with how they ended up. I hope they were fun to read at least and made sense.

I think I'll take a break and then concentrate on the arranged marriage tale. I roughly know where to go with it and I'm looking forward to the wedding but I've just started it so a long way to go until I get to that bit.

I think I'll stop trying to control the length, if it's mean't to stay short it will and if it's longer than that, I'll stop worrying about it and enjoy the journey.

I think I wanted to break loose and have some fun away from being productive. Let my brain rest and recuperate.

After I finished munching breakfast/lunch. I went on and scouted for a decent conversation to pique my interest.

I had a few that were pleasant enough and some made me giggle but there was one name that stood out from the rest. MD.

It wasn't even the opening line, it was the name, that to me represented a woman's brain, instead of her body.

We had one misunderstanding, where he asked me my name and didn't offer his, which irked me and I thought, he's one of those non-sharers..Nexttt!!

I did my pouty silent routine and wondered if he would get the hint and in the next few minutes, he rectified it, without me saying anything and told me.

Which frankly surprised me, we did seem to be on the same wavelength for most of the chat but at the end, there was another revelation.

I don't think I'll ever trust a man again. What they say is normally rehearsed or their version of the truth.

However we did seem to spend the entire day talking and when it migrated to the phone. He had that tranquil type of voice that you want to hear, after a bad day.

That you could talk to for hours, and not get bored. That you could not run out of things to say and then look at the time and realised hours flew by and it felt like seconds.

He's a creative guy as well. I have spoken to a few of those, one was super arrogant and made it all about himself, plugging his work and it was one sided and dull.

The others, really didn't go into details and preferred other topics of interest but he was broader in a sense. Talking about different aspects of what he liked and didn't and what he had achieved.

I don't think I can remember having that type of discussion before. I was pretty much hooked on it. I did have a bad habit of occasionally interrupting him though, I gotta work on that.

This one I can see talking to again because he is very amusing and down to earth. He doesn't seem like he's guarded, ready to make a speech or launch an attack but we'll see..

These randoms sometimes appear nice and then the claws come out. I'll let you know what happens much much later.

Oh he did offer to read something I wrote but that scared me too much so I declined haha.

Oh and another random migrated to email and asked me word for word, the questions he had previously enquired about over the chat, WTF??!!

Was I talking to your clone? Why would you ask the same things??

#BlogLife285 - A tale of two randoms...

I felt a bit restless so I decided I would go look for some company, a bit of a chitchat before retiring to bed.

One was last night, we'll call him H and late Monday was D. D started off a bit gruff, not bad but I wasn't sure and then he ended up being quite sweet and charming so that was nice.

Although we did natter for a long time and in the morning I was very tired and yesterday there was H who began nice and then ended up being a tad curt.

He wasn't exactly rude, but the manner when he didn't get his own way, was quite dismissive. Picture someone throwing a hissy fit or giving you the silent treatment, it was like that.

However when he was being friendlier, he did make me chuckle. They all claim to have deep voices and they all lie. Do they even know what deep means?? 

I think not but it was an engaging conversation, until the abrupt ending which was off-putting. Instead of saying, thank you for entertaining me or being enjoyable.

I said something like, it's late, I guess we should say goodnight now or soon, I can't recall and he said yup we should, night, click...

Haha!! In his defence it was exceedingly late and the short call, turned into an hour but still, I've had way more decent endings than that.

I'm not obsessing about it. I can barely imagine what topics we touched on but it did serve a purpose, just to help me unwind and be carefree for a spell.

I don't think either will make a reappearance and that's fine as I eventually found a movie to tucker me out.

I fancied watching a Bruce Willis film and Die Hard, the one with Samuel Jackson came to mind and aside from the bad language, is really amusing.

I'm trying to investigate what traits to avoid when conversing. I realised it's the dismissive attitude and not respecting my decisions.

As in, if I disagree, just accept it and move on, don't try to change my mind or become angry, as though you're the only person who counts, instead go with the flow, adapt.

The second thing is, if I'm honest about something but not hurtful, just matter of fact. Don't become defensive and bitter. Just see it as alright, so something I said or did, isn't to her tastes.....

Well I can conjure alternatives easily, that won't be a big deal at all. I call it being a drama king. Get over yourself, grow up and stop being a petulant bambino!!
