Hot Mess

So I haven’t published a post since Saturday because my social life has been wild (wow, sometimes I make myself laugh…I have no social life, remember?). No but honestly I have been super busy but I have made time in my busy ‘catch up with my series’ time to speak to all my loyal fans out there (hah, there aren’t any, but a girl can dream).

The team after the build - I look extremely gross but you all love me anyway! (photo by Julia Darke)

Yesterday some fellow grade 11s and I went to Grassy Park to build a home with Habitat for Humanity. I have done this before, so I thought I knew what to expect, but it was completely different to my previous build. To start with, we were building an entire community which was really awesome and the people we were building with were absolutely wondrous, and then there was him…

Now, you have heard about my sexy anesthetist so by now you should understand that when there is an attractive man, I spot him. Let me just start by telling you, he was one of the most beautiful specimen I have ever seen. I ruined my chances however when I shouted that I had dibs on him while he was fairly close to me. He laughed, I died, and the wedding was planned. Now he was working on the plot opposite us doing architecture-ie, land surveying things and I was already planning our life together.  I tried to do as many badass things like throwing cement or lifting bricks so that he would think I was like Superman, but he never looked…I like to think it was so he didn’t get distracted by my beauty.

Now I didn’t know his name but he was sexy and he looked like a Ryan. But then he started driving a tractor and it was at that moment I knew he was Afrikaans, he then became Rian. Now some other girls had the idea that they had dibs on him but I set them in their places, making it very clear that Ri-Ri was mine, and that we were very happy.

Later in the day, when the heat had really got to us, we were sitting behind the house watching my babe hard at work and it was then, as I described our wedding to my friends, that I realized I am bloody crazy and there is a reason I will be single for the rest of my life. When we left the site, I was sadden that I would never see him again, but I will always find another attractive man to make up a fake romance with in order to fill the asteroid size void that is my love life.

In all seriousness, I am not actually a crazy lady, but boys if you’re ready come and get it…

A huge thank you must be said to Habitat for Humanity for the amazing, organized and fun experience. I will definitely be doing it again. Because of them, there are a lot of families who will be happier in their new community.
