Need to grow up bigtime

Damn... it's just been a couple of months... I have realised I am a complete and total disaster when it comes to living alone.
I need someone. I cannot live alone. It's utter chaos - my life.
1) Tried making daal chawal, burnt it so bad that the cieling of the kitchen turned a little black.
2) The other day, made eggs for myself, happily ate them and very conveniently walked out to head for office. Four hours later, my landlord calls me and tells me that I had left the gas burning. The entire building would have blown up.
3) Locked my flatmate, who's letting me share his apartment, out of the house. Had put the night latch on thinking he was inside, but he was not. He stood outside, banging on the door like crazy for three hours, while I was snoring away to glory.
4) Put my red Tees with white clothes in the washing machine the other day. I have no more white clothes. All red.
5) Lost my house keys. Panicked through out the day like hell, and eventually called my landlord up, who obviously believes he has given the house to THE MOST CARELESS man he has ever met. Ultimately found the keys at the restaurant I ate breakfast at that morning.
6) Lost my house keys again today, and I have absolutely no idea where. Panicking like hell. Don't want to call my landlord up, coz he'll definitely ask me to vacate.
In very very short - I'm pretty much screwed living alone.
They say I'll learn gradually, I'll grow up gradually. Isn't it a lot more simpler to just have someone who's the opposite of me around?
NOOOOOOOOOR... aaja yaar... (sad face).

LOL.. Nothing to do with age. sex perhaps , not age. My man, had to be trained for a good few yrs, he still lets me down but he's sufficiently conditoned now not to make major Bobo's.. He still has no clue on how the machine works, and thinks cupboard doors should close automatically.Leaving empty vessels and boxes back in the fridge / cupboard is something that comes naturally to him. So really don't be so hard on yourself.. and red might just be your colour.. ;)

Poison... I eat not to survive, but because I enjoy the taste. Thanks for the suggestion though...

tel... thanks for the long distance affection.

Misreflect: "thinks cupboard doors should close automatically" --- hahahahaahahahaha... what a loser. Lol...
Red is indeed my color, but so is white.

Extemp: Trust me, I am a woman with a penis and without boobs. Just need to get the traits and habits right.

Alice: That's certainly the way to do it. But I am way too lazy, especially knwoing that after one dish I'll have to learn another and another.
And the kitchens here can get extremley hot... It's a desert.
Excuses are a thousand if i sit and count, but yeah, I gotta learn... just gotta.

Well, they say you learn from your mistakes! thats some hope! I hate the red or maroon crap with the laundry. I am a laundry pro and every once in awhile some dark sneaks into the wash. Sucks no matter how you put it. Sorry about the cooking, that'll come one day too, in the meantime find a good restaurant.
Had to snicker about the locking your flatmate out, I know its not funny but my uncle does that to me ALL the flippin time when i am going over to feed him!
Have a great evening!

Flowered Purse: I hope I learn.

Liquid: I am as metrosexual as they come/// I have my flaws though. No, I don't intend being that sort of a husband to Noor. I would help her do the dishes, help her clean up. The probalem (for me) is to do it alone... Get the point?

J: Offer's pretty sweet, and rather ... not-happening.

Anonymous fool: Extra key's in my pocket at the moment.

See? Atleast you're keeping track of all disturbing trends! Positive start!
Then again, maybe it could be acute missing-the-love syndrome. My complete empathy on that one.

Liquid: I am sure that wasn't really a question, but a statement in fact.

English August: The learning bit, at least as far as cooking, being responsible, switching off the gas after use etc etc, hasn't happened in 24 years. trust me, chances to learn were several. they've come and gone. I doubt its gonna happen now.

I lose my specs all the time, am a disaster with using a washing machine and can sleep through a bomb blast.. it's not about growing up, just being a little sometimes.. can happen to anyone..

My sympathy on the cooking thing. I have the same problem. Too spaced out to cook and no one to cook for me.

I solved it with take out food and frozen dinners that can be cooked in the microwave.

Maybe that won't help you though. I guess they probably don't have pizza delivery in Qatar.

LOL... - Impolitic, i don't blame you for not knowing much about Qatar. Congratulations, you're part of the crowd!
Burger King, KFC, McDonalds, Dunkin-D, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen etc etc etc... they're all here. Just a little expensive for everyday use. Even you can't afford them.
Wink...
Read up. I am sure you're net savvy... so go online and check out Qatar. You'll be surprised.

I'm embarassed to admit I had to look it up on the internet to figure out exactly where it is. Funny, Qatar doesn't make the news much.

It sounds like a beautiful place, all that coastline. And you're right, I probably couldn't afford the fast food there - I'm not a rich American and hell I won't eat it here either. That stuff is bad for your health.

Surely there must be vendors that sell local food on the street though. It's what I usually eat when I travel.

Well it isn't like the States Impolitic... where you can just pick up a hot dog from the food vans.
yes there are road side shops, but all of em don't have really good food. You just gotta make do.
But yeah, when you're getting raped, might as well enjoy it.
