It's one of the things I got wrong when I was in my last relationship, but now I'm back in a relationship of one - i.e. Me and me alone - then I'm back to getting it right. I now take great pleasure in scheduling things into the diary. I got a gig offered to me today, and I took it. Yesterday, I booked to go and see a musical. Sometime soon, I'm going to book some more tickets for musicals. If I see a gig that I can do, and I can get it, then I'll stick that in too. I can schedule a weekend away. I can have days when I do DIY (and I'm still feeling motivated towards doing that). I can even have a few hours here and then when I go shopping.

I like being busy.

It's hard to be this busy and still make time for the other person in your life. Unless the other person is also a diary obsessed freak who "books you in" for things too. If you're reading this and thinking "I'm a woman who would really dig this dude" then perhaps you should return to the 70's you weird-talking freak-woman (or get in touch on i'm_a_weird_talking_diary_obsessed_hottie_freak@ashleyfrieze.co.uk). This is probably why my last relationship worked best when it was a long-distance relationship. We had to book ourselves in for time together, so everything I did in my life was essentially a gig.

So much for Shakespeare's "All the world's a stage".
