Swimming with the sharks

Okay, so I'm sure we've all done things we regret,and sometimes (as much as I hate being cliche) desperate times call for desperate measures. No, don't worry, I didn't do anything stupid (Today). I just had an intresting arguement with a friend, and it got me thinking.
"Why do girls jump into a pool full of sharks and not expect to get bitten?"
Firstly, I 'm one whose done this many times, and yet I don't learn. I've put myself in situations that I knew would end up bad, but I still did it anyway. The funny thing is: when "I get bitten," I ask myself why I let it get that far.
I'm sure many girls will admit that have used men for money, and lets be honest- right from the beginning, you know what he wants. I always convince myself, that everytime I take money from him, it will be the last time. Then I find myself going there again, and again. Of course, nothing is free, and the day came...

 "I've been giving you money for over a year Yolanda, and you haven't given me anything!" (yes! over a year. to be honest I was starting to think he's an idiot lol) Anyway, that particular day I was desperate for money and I knew he wouldn't give me more unless I gave him what he wanted. So I got into his red GTI, and off we went. The closer we got to the house, the more nervous I became. When we stopped at traffic lights, people looked at me through the window- then looked at him. Golddigger , I felt as if they could see right through me. I was ashamed. Was I really going to do this? Was I really going to sleep with someone: for money?? Maybe. We pulled up to the apartments' underground parkinng lot. We drove into the ill-lighted, never-ending space. I glanced at the automated gate, which was now closing behind us. "I can't wait 'til I leave", I thought to myself as he proudly parked his red beauty. As soon as he switched the car off, he turned to me. The smug look on his face, made me imagine him breathing heavily into my ear in the next few minates. The thought sent shivers down my spine. His hand brushed over my thigh. I looked out the window."Lets go upstairs!" said the husky voice. My heart started racing. He asked again, this time, using his other hand to squeeze by breast. I told him I didn't want to go upstairs. "Yolanda, I've been very patient (okay, that part is true) and you know how much I want you. It will be quick I promise, and afterwards, we can go have some lunch-anywhere you want." The hand on my thigh made circular movements towards my groin. I felt sick. I kept a straight face. He told me how beautiful I was and how he had dreamt of the moment. He reached under my top, luckily, I was wearing three tops, so he was dissapointed when his hand was met by another layer of fabric- instead of the warm soft skin he had hoped to caress. He continued, rubbing me over my clothes for about 15 minutes. He then reached for my zip. I grabbed his hand and shook my head. "What Yolanda? I want you so bad! Please, you can't do this to me!" He reached for the zip again. This time, I placed my hand firmly over the zip. He tried to pull my arm away, but pulled it towards me. It was then, that I realised that he was forcing me to remove my hand. Then he looked around and locked the doors. Oh my god, I'm going to get raped!  "Yolanda, just let me do this." He, put his hand under the three tops, and made his way towards my breasts. I tried to pull away, but he held me with his other hand. His phone rang. He stopped to answer it. A wave of relief. As soon as he hung up, I told him to open the doors and let me out. H resisted, but realised I wasn't joking and ended up driving me back.

The only thing I kept asking myself is: why? Why did I do this to myself? It wasn't worth it. Lets just stick to "swimming with dolphins!" *lesson learnt*

Overshare???

Okay, so this relationship thing is turning out to be harder than I thought. No, I'm not complaining. Don't get me wrong, I love being in a relationship, it's just that, there are so many do's and dont's!  And with my experiences: I'm not so good at knowing what to say and when to say it. My BIG mouth has landed me in HOT water a few times!!
So here's what I want to know... where do you draw the line? Especially in cases where you're different people!
You want to be honest and tell him the truth about everything- but maybe there are things he doesn't need to know.
Let's not even mention bedroom dilemmas. One person is spontaneous, while the other is conservative- where do you find the balance?!!
Then, there's the classic catch-22: trying to keeping your partner happy, without compromising who you are!
Further more, how do you deal with the prospect of getting over feelings you had for someone else, while you're in a new relationship?
Wow... so much to think about. I don't know if I'll ever have answers to all those questions.

Anyway, moving along. I've always been afraid of commitment. Or worse- marridge talk. With my previous boyfriends, I would cringe at the thought of being "tied" to them for the rest of my life! But for some reason, it doesn't scare me anymore. Lol. I'm 20. I'm not planning on getting married (anytime soon- just so we're clear) just that the idea doesn't scare me anymore. The question here, is why. Why have I suddenly changed my mind about something I've always been so adamant about? It's weird.
 For once- I can't explain how I feel. Very strange indeed! 'Til we blog again, chaio!! xoxoxoxo

Quick update

Okay, so the June holidays have come to an end *sigh* and it's only day 2 of school, but I'm tired already!! I just want to graduate-and start working-and move out of my mother's house! (yeah I said it!)
On a lighter note: details of my holiday...

So my party didn't happen the way I had planned it- but it the turn out was pretty good! A pleasant night, although I was faced with a few dilemmas, such as introducing my ex to my boyfriend! I know i promised to take pictures- but I had so much fun that I forgot to take some- bummer! No evidence of the Epic night!

A moment of self dissapointment.... the exam results came back, and i had supp for Auditing!! I really can't afford to fail. Have to study hard this term. To make matters worse- The Brain Child (my sister) had get nine distinctions and now she has a Blackberry *rolling eyes* when I was in grade 6, I had a Nokia 3310. Makes me wonder what my kids will be using when they, are 12.

Our house is still under renovations! Super excited! Can't wait to move back in. And I'll admit to being excited about picking out a new colour of paint for my walls heehee that's so cheesy right?!
Got a voucher for a photo shoot! Just hope I find the time to actually go and get it done!
hmmm, class is calling! Have a new module called "Active Citizenship" WTF?! Last time I checked, I was studying accounting! anyway, gotta go...Mwah!!
