Connections and Dating Hiatuses

I've been thinking for a while now that I just want to take a hiatus from dating.... Thinking about dating, dating in general and worrying about getting a date, having a date or keeping a date....

Ever since I started thinking about taking a hiatus (the last 2 weeks or so) I don't think I've had so much fun since like college.... Its not all about finding someone and getting into a relationship.... Its about having a good time and whatever happens, happens....

I'm just burned out on trying every method I know of and failing, time and again.... I'm not good at taking rejection.... Never have been.... And failing at ANYTHING just doesn't sit right with me, which is one reason my dating life has frustrated me to to no end...

But on the other hand, can you take a hiatus from something you haven't done much of lately???? Go from a dry spell into a hiatus? Is it just a matter of choice? Or not.... I'm not 100% certain.....

While thinking about taking a hiatus though I also go to thinking about something else....
People (I don't know which people I just know some people say it) that when you find 'the one' there will be this instant connection.... Like you'll just 'know'.... But what if (for whatever reason) you find that connection with someone but its a totally random situation?

Like sitting in traffic and flirting with a person in the car next door?
Or in a store, meeting someone's eyes and feeling like you've been struck by lightning and then your phone rings and you HAVE to answer it and watch them leave without speaking to them?

What if your connection is a missed one?

Thats it for the moment I think... I really need to get ready for work now...

Inspiration..... Or perspiration.....

I used to be a blogger.....

I'd blog once, twice, sometimes even three or four times a day, I had THAT much to say.

But about six months ago, I quit. I started a new job, and I was always tired and I couldn't really think of anything I wanted to write. But in the last week or so I've been more inspired to write again.... So I thought, fresh start.... Fresh new blog. And ta-da! You have A Violet Among Roses.

The name was spur of the moment thing.... I always used Violet as my fake name at bars when I was younger, I even had a whole bio worked up for her. She was a paralegal from Georgia who was always in town visiting a family member....

But now.... It really feels like I am a Violet.... Among Roses.... I'm bit quirky, tend to do my own thing and really am heart am just a bit of a hippie. Though I like to bath and all that.... ha!
But living in Houston, I feel like I'm surrounded by a bunch of trendy wannabes (a.k.a. "The Roses"). Hence my blog name..... :)

I plan to take the lessons I learned from my old blogs, things I've learned in my life in general and apply them here.... While giving my opinion on anything and everything... And sharing what may seem like TMI to some.... But isn't that sort of the point of blogging? To share knowledge? State an opinion? Or just plan say whatever the heck you want to?

I've got a lot of stuff I want to talk about but I think for now, this will do for a first blog.... Don't want to overwhelm (or underwhelm - or just plan whelm) anyone the first time out of the gate.

Later.
