Oh my. I went out shopping today and came home with more than I went out for. I got the new Barbara and Allan Pease book on body language (in dutch, I couldn't find the original english copy) and a Live DVD from Natalia. As I was walking around in Fnac, I just knew I had so much items on my wishlist, but I couldn't remember the authors of some books, so I didn't find them :(
Next time I go out shopping, they should either provide internet access so I can look up my wishlist instantly, or I should remember printing it off in advance.
I was having dinner while watching TV and stumbled accross "Niki's secret", a bachelor like program that I usually don't follow at all. However, as I was watching, somehow I just got sucked into it and I watched it till the end. I suppose you'll know The Bachelor (or The Bachelorette)? Well, Niki's Secret is more of the same, but this time the main character, Niki, ain't gay or straight, but a bit of both. She's bi, and both dates a group of lesbian females as well as a group of straight males. Neither group knew about the others, but in todays episode the guys were told about her secret. I think they all reacted quite well after the initial suprise, but I think things may change along the way, as both groups start realizing that one can't "compete" with someone who plays in another league. Sure, love is not about competing, I do know that, but we all want to be our best when trying to win someones heart, don't we? I think the key to success will be to be who they are and not compete at all. Men and women are totally different after all, and cannot be compared.
One thing that struck me as very honest and true was when Niki announced her being bi : "I'm not looking for a man or a woman. I'm looking for a person I can love and be together with. Their sexe doesn't matter."
Impressive words, wouldn't you say? Especially since quite some people in this world have not yet gotten past the fact that gay people exist. I think they'll be totally confused when they hear about bi-people.

I would say Niki is 1 - brave being so open and 2 - has a very healthy attitude about what she wants. Good for her.

I couldn't agree with you more, Vicky.
