Why many relationships fail so easily

Months ago I had a girlfriend. She was more a friend than a girlfriend and there was not really a relationship to speak of. When I had time, I came for a visit and that was about it. Then severals months ago (last year sometime) she decided suddenly to terminate the friendship. I wiped all the contact details that I had after that since terminate means final. At that point in time I could not make any sense about the "reasoning" why that got terminated and left it at that.

Today I get a message saying that I should come for dinner even though I am now on her already quite big ex-friends list. She talks about me having been a good friend. Recently I met another woman and several weeks ago we went once for coffee and once to watch a movie together. Today the girlfriend from so long ago who terminated the friendship now suddenly says I cheated on her. How this is possible I have no idea since there have been at least four months between her and the person that I have recently met.

The above situation is exactly why I do not really want people around me who backstab me with accusations and expect me to mindread and always say the correct thing. I have had a total of two grilfriends in my life and at this rate that is two too many.

Zentai suit washing issues

The ten Zentai suits that I bought recently on eBay were a bit of a problem to get through customs which turned out to be rather expensive. There was a lot of additional colour that came off one of the suits when I washed it. I haven't tried washing the others for this reason.

Free Comic Book Day 2009 Results

The recent Free Comic Book Day 2009 (FCBD) at the Readers Den in Claremont (Western Cape, South Africa), was even more fun than the last couple of years. As always, the shop owners asked me to be there in a Spider-Man suit.

This year the layout was different and had a circular shape for all of the discounted comics and action figures. The goods were also more accessible this year because of the spread. The advantage of the layout was also that the people near the exit could be controlled and the queues ended up being shorter because of quicker service.

Two people were supposed to be with me in costume. They came the evening before to fit the costumes but did not bother to show up in the morning. One of the staff members for the day also did not bother to appear.

The free comics this year were more interesting and higher quality than the previous years. The discounted comics that I bought were quite a lot in the end. I was helping out with doing the prize draw, but I could not enter for that and because I was busy, I traditionally only start buying comics after the second and last prize draw.

Expensive Zentai suits

A while ago, I ordered ten Zentai suits (limited by the eBay seller to ten). This ended up costing me about 5000ZAR (South African Rand). When the package finally got here, I had to go to Capemail to collect it, but I was told to bring proof of payment papers. I got there with my papers and was told that it is still being assessed at the airport and I would have to get a freight clearing agent to fetch the package for me. After getting hold of a freight clearing agent, I ended up paying a bit more than 4000ZAR (South African Rand). Now I am waiting for notification to collect the package at Capemail.

Survived Easter weekend

I haven't written anything for a while. My main work is hectic, my home business had its usual Easter weekend chaos because many people were fighting about my bunny suits for two weeks before Easter already. One lady even tried to take chances with trying to get a suit which was booked by someone else. The message that others have booked it for seveal days does not mean that she can get it for two hours during that time period, just simply did not seem to be accepted.

Note for next year: Kids are less scared by a white bunny that looks friendly, than by a dark bunny that looks friendly.

As every year, I also spent some time in Kuilsrivier for the annual Easter weekend shootout.
