More and More and More

This is what David sent me at work (but obviously not the work email.)

"I love you more and more and more".

Things like that just make my day.

Talked with him for over 3 hours last night on the phone. I guess when we don't see each other every day, there's just so much to say.

I told him of an embarrassing moment at work, and I'll tell you now.

During staff morning tea I was talking to the only girl my age. Everyone was talking around the table and it was quite noisy. This girl asked me if I was married. I said no. Then she asked if I was engaged. I laughed and said no. By this stage conversations started to die down. Then she asked me if I had a boyfriend. I told her I did. Then, she asked me, "Do you think you'll marry him?" and every person (about 20 of them) became silent and looked at me. My face went a bright shade of red. I started talking really quickly while everyone listened. I think I said, "Not yet..." followed by an unnecessary explanation of him still being at uni. I tend to go on when I get nervous, as if trying to justify myself.

Another thing I never get around to writing about (and something that I thought was over) is that I have a stalker. I really thought she left me alone but today she emailed me. Why can't this woman leave me alone?? David said she was seriously creepy and I should stay as far away from her as possible.

At first I thought I was just imagining this creepiness but David reaffirmed my feelings. April also agreed. David said he was worried this woman was trying to get me into some cult. Although, I doubt she would be part of a cult, it seriously worried me how persistent she was.

I guess my friendliness at the beginning gave her the completely wrong idea. Both April and David advised me to just cut her off. Not answer her calls or emails. Ignore her completely. Which is what I did. And look, she emailed me again anyway!

Can you guess which woman this is?

I thought she was a friendly interesting person to keep in touch with but now her friendliness is too much because it's bordering on stalking. I mean, what person keeps calling you even if you tell her you're not interested in what she's telling you and never call her yourself. I mean, I barely know her and she calls me more often than my best friend. And why would you keep calling if the other person never calls you? She also seems to think I need my life improved and she knows exactly how.

I told her I was completely happy but very busy and could not help her with her project. So she said, "You should go to [blah blah] and then you can sort your life so that you're not busy".

I mean, what do I have to do to get rid of her? I really don't want to be mean and tell her how I'm sick of her contacting me. You never know how she will react. She'll probably think I have issues that need to be helped. I already told her that I would be very busy indefinitely and if anything changes I'd let her know. Shouldn't that be enough?

Anyway, I will not get agitated over this predicament. Just hope it passes.

Went to visit my grandparents today after work. It was nice to chat to them. It was easy to imagine I was talking to someone not a lot older than me but from a different decade. I see so many old people around and there's no one quite like my grandma. She's almost 84 but her mind is as sharp as a 50-year-old's. First thing she said to me was, "So tell me something juicy," with a sparkle in her eye. I wonder what her secret is to keeping her youth for so long. Is it genes? Optimistic and easy-going outlook on life? Whatever it is I hope I have it too.

Grandpa is also great. Although he does look his age, he's got the best sense of humour. Really sharp and witty. Keeps teasing my grandma constantly. It's funny watching her blow him off. I can so imagine them in their 30s like this. Maybe the key to a long and healthy life is a happy marriage.

They don't really socialise anymore, mostly due the language barrier (they don't really speak English) and because they say they're too tired to travel to see their POBian friends. However, they are always entertaining each other. They talk all the time, cook together, play chess. I hope I can have the same relationship with David. David, by the way, loves my grandparents. He actually said he was jealous that he didn't have ones like that.

So yeah, I had a good time at my grandparents'.
