Dear slightly confused mind

I’ve been trying to sort this out for myself for days. But I’ve finally admitted defeat. It’s just not possible for me to think this through logically….I’m not looking at it in an objective manner….or maybe I am, but I’m trying to convince myself that I’m not…oh dear, there i go again…*sigh*

Being a little bit of a control freak, I hate feeling uncertain or not knowing what is going on around me. I don’t like feeling vulnerable and unsure of myself. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

But then there are times when feeling vulnerable, unsure and confused brings about feelings of excitement, anticipation and an eagerness to discover……all of which i do enjoy. I’m trying my best to balance them out at the moment, but I’m not being very successful😦

Feeling excited and vulnerable at the same time could mean one of two things. 1. It’s a recipe for disaster or 2. It means something beautiful. Gosh i hate feeling like this, and at the same time, i don’t…*sigh*

Good luck with trying to figure that one out!

Dear Readers

Sweets recently posted about party favourites. I realise that this is probably going to sound ever so slightly insane. But i’ve only recently discovered that something i am able to do is quite rare and very….well, weird.

The thing is i do this thing with my hand. If i make my fingers straight with the palm of my hand pointing downwards, my fingers all bend upward…..far upward. So what i decided to do, in order to set my mind at ease and find out if it is really so incredibly weird or not, is to post a picture of me straightening my fingers, and to ask your opinion.

Exhibit A:

Yes, my palm is pointing downward.

So tell me…..is this weird? Can you do it to?

Regards

Ruby

Dear George W

The purpose of my letter is not to be rude or insulting. And I’m certainly not writing it to question your sanity or intelligence, but I have to admit that I’m starting to wonder about you. OK, so I’ve been wondering about you for a very long time. But recent events have finally pushed me over the edge and I have to voice my opinion.

There is the day you said that Madiba died. The various speeches where you talk absolute nonsense, the fact that you were holding a book upside down while posing with school children, the time you held the binoculars the wrong way round trying to look at your troops, and don’t even get me started on the whole war thing.

It’s not that I have anything against the Americans. I mean seriously, my brother lives there now and my sister in law is a proper yank, but i love her and her family to bits. I have American family, American friends, and after my visit to the states 18 months ago I fell in love with the country. I just don’t particularly like you…mostly because i think you’re an idiot.

I’m sure you’re dying to know which act of stupidity finally led me to write this letter. Well, please take a look at exhibit A:

Now, in case you still haven’t noticed your problem, I’ll direct your attention to the flag.

I think it is absolutely disgusting that a president can sit at an important event like the Olympic games, proudly displaying his country’s flag the wrong way!!!!!

In my opinion you probably won’t even understand half the words used in this letter, and you might have to get someone to translate it for you. Or maybe your just a great big klutz and because you’re the president of a biiiiiiiiig country it’s more publicised. The trick is to think before you speak and act. Trust me……if you have half a brain, that plan will work wonders for you.

Dear *insert name of academic institution here*

Thank you so much for your swift and enthusiastic reply. Your very personal and informative reply has once again cemented my belief that you are probably the best choice for my future endeavour.

I’m looking forward to starting on my Masters degree in Forensic auditing and accounting at your institution next year. Thank you so much for taking the time to include information about the different academics involved in the program as well as the sponsors available to me. I’ve always known that it is a very specialised field and that there are very few forensic auditors/accountants currently in the country, but i was surprised to discover that there is in fact a great shortage and that both the government and large financial and economic institutions are desperately seeking individuals interested in exploring this field.

I hope to hear from you soon so that we can finalise my registration for next year. I look forward to once again returning to your community, even if it is only as a part time student. You are after all my Alma Mater, the place where I obtained both my other degrees, and the place where I’ve picked up some of the most remarkable memories i will ever have.

Regards

Ruby

Dear Being Brazen

I refer to your post about people stealing your mug at work. At the time i knew there had to be a way of solving this problem without having to hire a private detective, killing anyone or disrupting your normal day to day routine too much.

Well sweety pie, I found it!!! It’s called the anti-theft mug and personally i think it is fabulous. You will never again have to go off in search of your office mug, as other people won’t be able to use it. Here is a picture of the mug i have in mind:

When you leave your mug you just take out the little plug “en siedaar“, nobody can use your mug, which reduces the chances of it being stolen with almost 100%. Of course, you will always find people who would try and steal it anyway, simply because it’s a novelty.

I sincerely hope this helps!!!

Love

Ruby
