So, this whole relationship business. Long. More on that later.
Confessions pointed out that I haven't talked about LOML in a while. True. And I did say she was the one constant. Also true. The thing is me and Loml haven't really been talking as much as I would hope. I still think about her, but its like we're drifting apart.
That would be my fault. I'm horrible at maintaining long distance communication. But she tries. She puts up with me. Sunday morning I got a text from her:
How are u luv? I think u shd call me sometime today... U agree? Great!
I lol'd when I read that. So I called her and we talked for a couple of hours while she read this blog. Yes, I have no secrets from Loml. I really do love her. I don't think I've told her that in awhile though. If she's reading this though, she'll get it. Maybe that's the reason I can't seem to settle down with any of these other girls. They still dont hold a candle to her.
Which brings me back to my initial statement. Relationships are long.
Since I graduated uni and got a job, almost every conversation I've had with my mom has been punctuauted with "so, who is your girlfriend". And now, after Sunday, you can bet your bottom dollar its gunna get worse.
I talked to my grandma on saturday. She asked the same question. Her argument: now you've graduated, you have a good job, the next thing is a wife. All of this coupled with Afro trying to marry me off.
Oh hell no! Wifing is roughly 10 yrs in the making, 5 yrs to be an uncommitted bachelor (sowing wild oats as simplidivine put it), and then my 5 year plan* kicks into gear after I meet "the one". Oh. I haven't told y'all about my 5 year plan have I? Well here it is :
Year 1: we meet, we talk we enjoy each others company, no sex, sex too early in a relationship complicates things
Year 2: sex, lots and lots of sex
Year 3: we move in together. See how it is to live under the same roof
Year 4: I propose, she now has 1-2 yrs to plan her dream wedding. We also use that time to make sure we want to be married to each other
Year 5: I turn up at the wedding. And by turn up, I mean just that. I will not interfere with my wifes planning of her dream wedding. Wouldn't want to spoil it. Its her day. I'll be at the tux fitting and the rehearsal dinner. But that's it
But that was a digression. Was ranting about relationships. Long ting.
All that having to be there for someone perpetually. Can't do it. My phone turns off at 1am and comes back on at 5am on weekdays. Not changing that. I need my sleep.
Having to consider someone elses wants and feelings before doing the things you want to and would normally do without a thought. Long. I'm an individual..and I enjoy my individuality...i don't appreciate having to come to a consensus on an individual decision.
Needing to know where I am, what I'm doing...at all times. No.
Wanting to know what's wrong when I go quiet. If I'm in a mood, leave me be, I'll snap out of it. Someone constantly asking me "are you ok?" would just prolong it.
And cuddling, I don't mind cuddling to be fair, its nice to have another warm body snuggling up to you. But to be honest, I also like having my double bed to myself. I always sleep better that way.
That's all for now
*I fully realise the 5 year plan is utter bullshit. But it's nice to have a plan anyway.

First?
Yay!!!
Sorry guys but I had to get it right this time ;)
Off to read.
Shoot!
Lemme go read....
Glad u know ur 5 year plan is total crap...absolute crap..crap without measure..
Kai, ur girl reads this blog? If I were her I would constantly pray for you to have errectile failure abi how them dey talk am?
Loml, hmmm. Need to read earlier posts. So many girls, can't keep up with you o smf.
Dream wedding, no interference from le groom. Too good to be true. But then you'd probably find urself in a orange tux and green shirt :p
Firstttt.. ohh am not even second.. ok 4th then
Oops, *An orange tux and a green shirt*
Loml read your blog thats cool(okay who is loml, am thinking a very close friend).. yea it is nice to have a plan
Lol @ TDVA.
Awwwww....To be in love is a good thing. But wats up with u and LOML- aint u guys gonna at least try to be together now?
And i second u on that 5 year plan thing. I have never had one, I plan ahead, but i just dont believe in sticking too much to it cos when u r making this plan, u r not able to forsee the future so ur planning obviously cant include the unforseeable.
Ok, enough ranting.
Well, well Mr Scribble glad you know that your 5year plan is bull!!! And since LOML is reading this, I'm sure she knows the boundaries of a selfish man like yourself...you 2 just get on wiv it and be together!!! Stop this long ting nonsense....mccccheeeew!!!
But then again m selfish like that too esp wiv my bed, my weekends, my after work/uni rituals, calling some-one just to 'check-in'..heck I don't call my girls who live 5mins away from me...and they mean the world to me!!..sigh...
this cant be happening! I've been on this blog all day, left for a bit and I'm 13th ... *poüts*
I'm sorely tempted not to read this post! SMF, u need to convince me that my loyalty is not in vain, I'm so upset!
TDVA
lol...u were definitely determined this time
like I said, her day, her way...if she wants me to wear a chicken suit, so be it
Afro
abeg now...give a brotha a break...erectile dysfunction? i reject that in Jesus' name
Confessions
a long distance committed relationship doesnt work..we're in agreement on that...so as long as we're apart, she's free to do her, i'm free to do me...we're just open and honest with each other
BSNC
Loml is the love of my life :P. there's a post on her..i think my second one
Shona
I guess you could say I'm selfish...I'm just not at that stage where I'm ready to give myself fully to someone else
Smaragd
i'm so sorry...i promise you your loyalty is not in vain
Glad to know you admit yourself that your "5 year plan" is bulll DUNG!!!
Boy your heart is taken already (by LOML)...lol don't fight it...just flow with it...with time you'll get used to the idea of sharing your double bed!...better still...buy a wider one!
dearie..u knw that by d end of year 2 of ur 5 yr plan..d babe will be long gone, then u start again with smone else..in short..u need to revise it..not realistic at all...
I second u on cuddling though(good stuff)..
dont worry abt being there perpetually for smone, when u r ready..u will want to be there for d person and MORE
I hope u end up with Loml..i imagine a glow ard u as u type abt her..time will tell..good luck with it all
off to read ur original post abt LOML
Ok. Just let us know where the wedding will be cos me i like party food :)
glad to see u sef u reckon ur 5 year plan is a lod a' bollocks!! Why live with a woman. U have the REST of ur life to do that- so why jump the gun. married folks wish they cld have their space.
My dear u're young man. Do not let them stress u. but since u're first born that kinda explains it. pele.
so this loml, i have to read up on her. she even reads your blog? this is serious o!
the love of your life.. how sweet. lemme go read about her
Who I still hold nearest to my heart
You
Who is still the single most important person in my life
You
Who remains the undying love of my life,
And I still love you, now more than ever
awwww how charming...
All the best on the 5 yr plan....oh, who am I kidding? we both know it wont work that way
you know you can always upgrade the double to a king size or customize it
"that 5 year plan is utter bullshit...." my thoughts exactly. especially at the moving in part. hell no! but still, like you said it's good to have a plan. even me who's talking. my plan is also utter bullshit.lol
the day i will be first on your blog, eh eh. i will take up 50 comments. mark my words!!
No Limit
Definitely, by the time I decide that I can comfortably share my bed I will have upgraded to Kingsize
simplidivine
hmm..why are you being nice to me all of a sudden...i suspect something :P
Confessions
you will have to wait...it's not even on the horizon...besides, i have a rendezvous with a naughty nurse to attend to first
Tigeress
The living together thing is to test out whether or not we can stand to be under the same roof with each other for an extended period of time
BSNC
Thanks...she's definitely special
naijagirl
the upgrade is coming soon enough
Bibi
pray tell, what's your plan?
50 comments? abegi o!!
*Looking for my uniform...* :)
This scribble...you want to have yor cake, pour double cream on it and then eat it!!!!
What can i say...this LOML is a saint sent from the high heavens because it can't be anything else.
By the way...as u are an individual you owe me a visit, please bring your dog collar and massage oil with you lol!!!
i love how u realize that the 5 year plan is utter bull!...then again, it is utterly comforting to know that its not only females that are hounded to bring home a guy after they've graduated. so for now, i will sit back and totally enjoy ur mother hounding u....till its my turn! *evil laugh*
i hope loml read this and knows that you love her. I also hope you took the time to tell her as well.
Nice post!
Confessions
*eagerly waits*
wordmerchant
Im on my way...Shag House right?
bumight
dont worry, your time will come
SOLOMONSYDELLE
thanks, she knows
I was just gonna say "your plan is utter.." Then I read the ^^^ comments..
So I rest my case..
Besides everyone wants/needs their own space in relationships..
And trust me.. when she's PMSing.. You'll be the one asking "Are you ok" and getting the F'Off look in return..
but before that time comes, lets enjoy ur discomfort! LOL
started digging through the archives and discovered "LOML" last night. its cute that she reads this blog.
PS: i just realized after my last post that all my comments on ur blog can be read as "strong worded", thats not the intention though. nothing personal :)
Roc
lol...yes..i know the plan is BS
nah m8 your boy be takin week long holidays every month
bumight
strong worded? i didnt see it that way...keep speaking ur mind luv!
btw..
all this luvie duvie talk that you pple are offering in my comment box WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!...have you forgotten i'm the same guy who pitted two girls against each other just to see how they would react? i dont want to hear "sweet", "cute", or "aww" out of any of your mouths again you hear?
behave yourselves! lol
Lmao! You majorly set urself up for that one dearie.
nice blog... i actually just read through your entire blog! na wa.
one thing that bothered me...
you having sex at 11... glad you didn't get her preggers... that would have been some D-R-A-M-A!
and err... hopefully you wont abandon your blog like folks tend to :S
Yep. Your 5 year plan is bullshit ;)
And you better get use to cuddling. It doesn't matter how big your bed is, you'll have arms and legs and nakedness all over you all night long.
Lol awww. Yep, your 5 yr plan needs review. Hope 'loml' is on the same page as you are...the wedding story will be tew cute.
It's cool she gets to read about her self...how blushingly cute :).
Lemme go read bout her...
lmao @ur 5 yr plan....... dont be selfish with ur bed.... btw its ok to be quiet in a rship as long as u open up when its time too....
Anonymous
lol..i'm pretty sure i was shooting blanks at that time...and i dont plan on abandoning the blog...i started this for two reasons
1. to have a place to chronicle my escapades so that I can learn from them
2. to have a place to express my opinions and my issues.
there's many escapades as you have seen and I have many many issues :P
Sexkitten
i dont mind naked cuddling..dont mind it at all..both of us laying there in our juices..but there's a time u just want a good sound sleep...that's best by yourself
Repressed One
grrrrr...i said no "awww"s and no "cute"s behave yourself o! lol..thanks
Funms
fair enough..but do i have to be open about everything?
the 5 year plan is not UTTER bullshit...of course it doesnt always happen this way...BUT I LIKE THE PLAN ACTUAALLY..ESPECIALLY nuber 5!
...U KNU WOT,.....I DNT THINK I WANT TO HEAR BOUT A RELATIONSHIP FOR A BIT! JUST BROKE UP WITH MY HUSBAND TONIGHT...LOL.....sigh....BRING ON THE FLINGS...THE DATES.....THE SUMMER THRILLS...damn i have missed being KOKO!!!!!!!
P.S: ITS A GREAT JOY TO KNOW I CAN BE wifey tho....AND THAT I HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A MAKE happy...that gives me great comfort in this difficult time.
P.P.S; can i use ur shoulder pls.
xoxo
make that 5yr plan a three yr plan, and it might just make sense...but i feel u on individuality jo!
em, i wld nt want to be the chic that luvs u and reads ur blog. Afro is ryt @ erectile dysfunksion! lol!
u are soooooooo not ready to commit. that 10yr plan sounds very good for u.
Lady K
i'm really sorry to hear about your breakup..really I am. You can use any part of me you choose. Oh and Welcome Back Koko!!
J...T
yea i guess 3 years might work..its just i want to really know the person i'm marrying.
u too? dont join Afro in her quest to end my sex life abeg
Smaragd
see? i know what's good for me
p.s. do all you people never sleep?
as I was saying hours earlier, b4 my laptop battery ran down and I went back to sleep before coming to work to say this, PRAY that the person u marry is nothing like me, because all those things u do not like, I LOVE!
No separate bedrooms for me and my husband, except maybe a room for all my clothes and shoes...
I slept at 8pm naija time, woke up ate 1am, was online till 3:30 am... went back to sleep till 5am, got to work at 6:44!
does that answer ur qstn?
p.s.
u sound like u have mood swings... why else would anyone need to ask u why u are suddenly quiet? I get that a lot cuz I'm moody.
ur wife really mustn't be like me!
On second thoughts, why don't u just marry LOYL already and put an end to all this gallivanting!
Smaragd
u woke up to eat at 1am?
and u too u want to join them in their bid to marry me off and end my sex life
MY ENEMIES WILL NOT PROSPER O!!
Brother mi, I have just tagged u on me latest post...
You better do the meme unless of cos u dnt need a nurse nymore ;)
How dare u let Smaragd top me on ur stalkers list??!!
U know i aint gonna let that happen, right??
When r u gonna post again?
Seeing as we r one blood and all...;)
Ok, lemme go do some work....
Confessions

LOL @ ur 5yr plan..hehe..cute tho..
Wow, TOML reads this blog..uh, please cud u give me the link(s) to the post(s) where her story is?
Scribles! always an interesting read. Well,the 5 year plan is a good plan to me except for the moving in part and the fact that all that can be done in 2yrs so maybe you can modify the plan ...
And o, why not start with Loml? What ya think?
