Last nite a DJ saved my life

This is Week 11. The final countdown to the last month of formal education. I have 2 papers to sit for this term. Both of them are law modules and im determined to go out with a bang, and that plan does not involve leveraging on my religion and its wayward fanaticism.

Last nite a DJ saved my life. Now, before you go "Hey, isn't that the title of some pop hit?", I'll state the obvious first, "Yes, it is the title of some pop hit." Now that we have got that out of the way i can start writing.

You know how you start zoning out whilst still in the company of another? Like, you become oblivious to the presence of the other, or maybe a lapse in acknowledging that when you do go out with someone you ARE supposed to entertain and engage. Why else would it be called social engagement right? Some of you may differ and say that "Well, maybe we don't have to be talking to each other all the time because we are comfortable not saying anything!" Now, there is nothing wrong in being comfortable in silence and non-engagement but wouldn't it be worrying if you are ONLY comfortable in such an arrangement?

Communication. I read on some website that guys interpret that word much differently than us gals. i'll update on this later. Something cropped up. Really interesting. :)

My sis just got engaged. The elder one. The one with the akan datang expiry date. The whole situation was nothing short of weird.

Anyway, back to my reading of an article about men and COMMUNICATION. Men need to communicate their feelings and emotions. Because they function in a predominantly macho mode all the time when they are in the the company of others, it is really out of character to share their feelings to just anyone. As such they need someone who they would be able to confide in such matters with. And who better than us girls?

Communication in the girl's dictionary involves talking about issues that affects both parties.. sometimes.. okie all the time.. repeating and going over the small inane details. This, as i read in the article, irritates the guys who feel that the issue had already blown over and in true male-ness claim that "It's no big deal".

So is it a big deal or not? TO the girls it is. TO the guys it isn't. So how do we reconcile this divide in ideologies? By communicating? hahaha. I don't think so. We do it through showing our love. Now, this brings to my next issue: What is love according to a guy?

In the same article, Love is defined as SEX. Yup, you've read correctly. I've convinced myself that they are one and the same and just semantics for guys. If you don't have sex with them, you don't love them. The same way gals would feel unloved if he had forgotten your birthday or a special date, or your new outfit... etc. Semantics? Maybe. Ridiculous? Definitely.

But before we start mocking our little idiosyncracies, we have to acknowledge that they are real. And that they form the crux of a lot of our misunderstnadings. So are we going to iron things out through acceptance. Or force a conversion over to our sides? I choose the latter. I'm useless at household chores.
