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.
Aaaawww, I am so honoured to accept the high privellage (yes I can’t spell) of being mentioned in Joan’s blog…if I die young, if all my students forget me and my name is wiped from the face of the Earth…this alone shall be my legacy…

PS Orange penz r0x0r.
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). 😀

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…
