Just a bit about me

My photo
I'm a 20 years old, ready to graduate and pretty much just save the world. (But I'm not a hippie) I have a Chion (Chihuahua/Papillon) named Gambit. I'm young and make mistakes almost everyday, it's what I do. I have the tendency to be dramatic and temperamental but that's what makes me so interesting. I have very different views on Love and Life but it's what works for me. I'm also a huge believer in living life how it works for you, if you don't life is just not worth living.

How to tell if he's gay

Now I've always prided myself on my amazing gaydar but sometimes that gaydar just doesn't work. So I've been trying to figure out, "can you really know if the hot guy working with you is gay?" I know I'm not the only woman who has come up against this question.

For those who don't know, a gaydar, (according to Urban Dictionary) is the ability/gift of being able to detect homosexuality in other people.

When I talk about my "gaydar" it's nothing super exciting. If a gay guy walks in the room and I have my back to him, NO I can't sense him with my gaydar. I have to look at a man and just by his mannerisms I can usually tell if he's gay.

Disclaimer: I do not claim to be an  expert in this subject, these are my own personal methods.

Things I see that I automatically put a man in the Homosexual category:
  • His walk: If his hips sway more than mine do
  • His Talk: This includes his voice, the way his mouth moves, and his vernacular
  • His hand: Watch his hand, the way it moves always tips me off
 It's the little things I look for.

Now what do you do if the cute guy near your desk makes your gaydar go off like crazy, but he claims to have a girlfriend?  You believe him! Do not force him to come out (if you have strong vibes that he's gay), he probably isn't gay or is in denial. This is advice I've given myself to take and listen to, so I know how hard it is to follow! (Well not really... I have a lot of self-control). Because honestly, there's no proven way to find out a guy is gay unless you ask him, but why put him (and yourself) through that embarrassment.

The cute guy you work with seems straight in every sense of the word, EXCEPT that when he walks he sways his hips more than Shakira! Never in my life have I met a heterosexual man who sways their hips that much! How can he say he has a girlfriend but my gaydar goes off like crazy when he walks?

My advice... let it go. If he doesn't have a girlfriend and he's gay than he's off limits. And if he's straight with a girlfriend, then he is for sure off limits! Just play nice and don't mention anything about his sexuality. Because it's obviously none of your business.

Coming Up! =)

I really don't know why I started up another blog… I guess I felt that I needed a place that wasn't so teen rowdy. Tumblr's great, facebook is amazing, twitter is a way to get your life out there. I'm not bashing any of those other sites, well because I use most of them on a daily basis. I wouldn't say I live on those site, but it's a good way to pass the time.
Well for this entry, I just wanted to share what I have coming up.
  • More information about me! =) Because who doesn't love to write about themselves.
  • Movie reviews for Avatar: "The Last Airbender" and "Eclipse". Watching both of them on Saturday!
  • Gay guys with girlfriends
  • And Jealous girlfriends
Now I just want to point out that everything that I write on here, are things that I come up against in my everyday life. So my first entry about workplace manners… I've found out recently is VERY important to me. And I can guarantee that if you follow those simple guidelines on how to act in the workplace, the pranks co-workers pull on you will not completely and totally piss you off. =) And they won't take your office supplies either.
 
More to Come

Just testing out this email.. =) Will delete later

Etiquette in the Workplace

Sitting at work next to this guy who keeps drumming… And dancing around whenever he does something good. Those type of people who will suck up to everyone and anything. I just wish he would stop talking to himself, seriously mumbling that's totally fine but talking out loud and exclaiming happily (annoyingly)!

So kids here are some workplace etiquette tips that you should always follow!!

  • Chewing gum quietly is perfectly acceptable, smacking and popping bubbles is a HUGE no-no!
  • Where appropriate office attire (Cover up tattoos, don't expose midriffs, and especially DON'T TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES)
  • Please and Thank You will always be the magic words!
  • Don't Gossip
  • Do not Hover
  • Do not listen to your ipod at work… it is very looked down upon
  • Do not hit on your co-workers (especially if you don't have game)
  • Don't lie about loving to work out, when we can tell that you'v never worked out a day in your life! (except maybe in PE)
  • Shower EVERYDAY and use deodorant, and if you don't want to on a certain day, please take the day off!
  • The boss is ALWAYS almost right!
  • Don't be a brown-noser
  • Do not obssess when 3 of your skittles go missing
  • Always use an indoor voice (especially if you're talking to yourself)
  • Do not talk out LOUD to yourself, it's very disruptful especially when your neighbor is less than a foot away from you.

Well I hope this helps you future working folk! If you follow these rules, your co-workers may not steal 3 of your skittles.
