Call me a prude, but I dont like it when I open my news feed and it includes (but thank god is not limited to) pictures of naked/semi naked women and/or of people having sex that my friends like/share/comment on or even upload. Or did I miss FB becoming a pornsite?

Cake or Salad?

When women choose between salad and cake, they usually want to have cake but often go with the salad instead. I don´t get it. Of course I like a good cake, who doesn´t.. But a fresh salad with some nice dressing (like vinaigrette) or even without it is the best thing ever. Why would anyone pick the sticky sugary dessert over a fresh crispy salad is beyond me..

Stats

When you find that there are statistics automatically calculated for a blog that you have been writing, you spend some time checking them out. So what I found today was that a keyword that apparently brought 1 person to this blog was "sex-děvky v kozačkách" (probably due to this post). I am really sorry to have been a disappointment:-)

Sorry, unavailable at the moment, please try again later.

I left the house with two things on my shopping list - 1) a hat because of the freezing temperatures and because of my general lack of hats, scarfs and gloves, and 2) eggs. I tried several stores, but as it seems, they are out of hats and winter accessories as such. The only hat they had in one of the stores was made of fake fur, which was a no-go. I found a few scarfs though, so maybe the headscarf idea deserves to be revisited, even though one is punished with weird are-you-a-terrorist-or-aren´t-you looks.
What puzzled me was that when I got to Tesco (at Anděl) they were out of eggs. Half the aisle with shelves completely empty.. Not the half-a-dozen carton, not the dozen carton, not ten-egg carton, no thirty-egg carton(I was desperate).. Reminded me of the stories about communism. How you got to a store and they just didn´t have this or they didn´t have that. It was impossible to buy the things you wanted because they were simply not available (if you were lucky, it wasn´t the toilet paper).
Growing up in a world when you can buy anything, anywhere, anytime, if or when you have the money, I am confused when something like this happens. When they don´t have winter clothes, because January and February are the months of sales and new collection includes only spring/summer clothes. Or when Tesco has trouble with their suppliers (probably to their understandable objections to the unfair terms that Tesco forces on them) and they just don´t deliver the goods. I know that these are all temporary "glitches" in the system, or I hope so, but I found today that the possibility of things being unavailable had not even occured to me. Should I be bothered by that?

The Shy Guy

I have got a lot of feedback on my "lack of connection with the person I was seeing", "my lack of openness about my feelings" and "my lack of directness", so I have decided that being a twenty-something no-longer-a-girl not-yet-a-woman, I should be able to work at that. To be more open and direct.
Which proved to be not so good an aproach.

Today I got asked for my phone number. By an interested guy´s colleague. I immediately said that I am in a relationship (by which I probably meant a really great relationship with the tv), which I was informed does not really matter. I was asked to think it over and tell the guy, when I make my mind up. Which was exactly what I did. The bad part is that the guy was so shy, he behaved like it did not concern him in any way and even though he never denied anything, he did not say much else either. So my attempt to be more direct and open has left me feeling like a complete idiot, talking to a guy, who was behaving like he was not even there.
Later that day, I explained the situation to my brother thinking he would empathise... with me. He looked at me, like I was nuts and explained - "you met a shy guy (stydlín in Czech). You never approach them directly." Now I looked like he was nuts - "so I should have pretended like nothing happened and leave the pink elephant in the room unspoken of? Is that what ´mature´ people do?" "Definitely! You need to ignore the question, if you dont want to say yes. And if you do, ask him out yourself."
So, I am puzzled. Despite of everyone telling me that I should be more direct and open and despite every guy-friend I have telling me that men can better handle an honest no rather than a non-specific maybe that is actually a no, I was still expected to behave like nothing happened?
Since my copy of Relationships for Dummies probably got lost in the mail, it should come as no wonder that I still dont have a clue as to what the right protocols are, when it comes to love and matters related..
