Hi Jon

Yesterday, I saw Jon. There, you are now immortalised in my blog.

Other people I saw:

  • Cristina Branco, a wonderfully expressive singer of Portuguese fado.
  • Daniel, who luxuriates in French cuffs.
  • Andrew, who studies comm/sci and now needs to go in my glossary.
  • Michael, who has seen me on Fridays and Saturdays.
  • Jason, who isn't my brother but studies computer science anyway.
  • Andy, who I've met before but can't remember where (did we dance?).
  • Vera, who really is small, I just noticed yesterday because she had cool pants on.
  • Joel, he's a whiz, gives me whizzy-dizzies when we dance.
  • James, qualified raver ("big fish, little fish, cardboard box").
  • Naomi, who can out-dance James with her hands tied behind her back ;)
  • Joanna, who can now read September 26, 2004 if she wants.
  • Jamie, whose autograph is worth $200.
  • Megan, who has a nice haircut.
  • Lachlan, the barefoot quickstepper.
  • Kate M, who should give up the Czech boy.
  • Ben, hey Mr DJ.
  • Mark C, whose hair is artwork in progress.
  • Tim, from Caffeinholics Anonymous.
  • Mary, who is never afraid to learn new moves.
  • Meng, who is afraid to dance with another boy.
  • Hazel, who is discovering the world of dancing.
  • Carlo, what can I say. He's mad.
  • Jana, at least I think that motionless pile of blankets on the couch was her.
  • Pete-and-his-girlfriend, I'm sorry I don't remember her name.
  • Damjan, whose orange pen pwns Vera's diary
I think that's it.

Hey, so do you think those pants magnify my rear end? My mother always tells me they do, especially when I put lots of things in the back pockets (which I always do, because they're good pockets). :D

Yay... I made it into the glossary. I like my description too =)

"James, qualified raver ("big fish, little fish, cardboard box")"

Gah... this is exactly like LJ - they don't like things in triangular brackets...

What was meant to go after the James quote was a lot of question marks, and the comment that the explanation sounds like it would be an interesting story

-joee

What, didn't you know? On Friday nights (when there isn't a dance social), you can find James at rave parties dressed in a "Paranoia" t-shirt with glow sticks in his hands doing the classic hand routine, "Big fish, little fish, cardboard box."

Vera, your rear-end looked fine. I think. I have friends who notice rear ends and are able to appreciate their aesthetics. I have some other friends who notice eyebrows (and how groomed they are), arms, eyes...

If I have to nominate a body part that I particularly pay attention to, it's hair. Oh, I just realised how true that was. Yesterday I:
- Admired Megan's haircut
- Asked Daniel where he gets his haircut
- Commented that Vera's hair was getting long

And I always ask people what colour their hair is! Hmm, very interesting.

Hmm, hair, eh? I don't really notice people's rear-ends much either. Personally, I'm an arms person. Well, not that I particularly notice people's arms a lot, but I like nice forearms.

That sounds SO stupid, I know.

Sometimes, other than arms, there are also other little things about people that I notice particularly. I won't post any comments on that up for public consumption. :-)

Luxuriates? Is that even a word?

While we're on the subject of commenting on the strange things that we notice about people... I'm a jawline-noseline person (in that order) strange as that may sound.

interesting... all the things that I hyper-involve myself in and what do you remember about me? My bleedin' french cuffs!

I originally wrote a comment on about you not being in the Liberal Party but I thought of luxuriate and it was such a wonderful word. It's your own fault, Harrods-boy.

I think my mum notices eyebrows because she's always complaining about my wayward eyebrows -- Come one, they're not bad!

Wayward eyebrows? What does your mum say when she sees John Howard on the telly!!??

I should've never told you I got those cufflinks at Harrods. I should've said something like "oh, they were in the bargain bin at op shop". Or better still, "I fished them out of a disused brotherhood bin, quite lucky to find a pair really". (same bin where I "fished out" that reservation at Grossi Florentino...)

Maybe I *should* join the liberal party, subterfuge works just as well as letter-writing you know...
