so it looks like, after months of being off the market (whether hung up on the ex or another crush), it looks like rhiannon is attempting to bounce back into dating scene. or at least in the beginning stages.
last night started off at a local live music venue to see a cute work mate of rach's brother and flatmate. he was much more adorable than in his photos (which i had already approved of). he looked younger and cuter in real life as well as seeing him with his guitar and singing....well talk about a speedway to my heart. *sigh*
those stupid coke ads- although they are annoying because they are coke ads- they ring so true.
" Music should make you want to drop out of school and play the guitar. And a live show should last a lifetime... Ticket stubs should be cherished. And everyone should want the lead singer.... Lyrics should be crafted to a point where, heard just once, they become burned into your memory as if they were your own. "
this annoying ad rings so true. music should make you weak in the knees and make your heart flutter. sure the cute boy singing adds to the fluttering but there was a girl singing later on, and i almost got that same OMG MUSIC IS SO AMAZING feeling all over again.awesome music and an awesome singing voice= that's what gets me.
cuteness is just an added bonus,
so then we headed off to our next venue, only to find that both rach and i had mixed up the locations and we were actually much further away now then we had been to begin with,
a quick toilet break at my house and back we went to the live music venue. cute singer boy remembered my name (how nice) but then took his leave and that made me sad. perving material was fun,.
we stayed for a bit of Chase Dabney's set, which was pretty fucking amazing. we didn't realize he was a guitar soloist. he's got the guitar on the ground and he's just hitting the strings, so quickly and yet this amazing music is somehow being played. his hands and fingers were moving so quickly in such a blur, it was impossible to see what he was doing - i was blown away.
however we could feel the night drawing to a close, so off we all went. half way down the mall we ran into ben &suze, and dan and i stayed out with them. there were 3 guys sitting at their table with them, and i ended up next to one and this amazingly indepth conversation started.
one by one everyone kept leaving until at 3am it was just dan, conversation boy and myself. that stupid 3am lockout rule brought our conversation to a stand still when we had to move inside, so we thought we'd all go grab a bite to eat and head home. instead of getting dodgy new york slice, we realized that Fat Boys offer their delicious breakfasts 24 hours a day!!!!! so 3 x $4 breakfast later with a side of chips, and we averted a potential hangover disaster today. seriously, if you're from brisbane you must know about Fat Boy's $4 breakfast- 2x eggs, toast, sausage, bacon, tomato and that side of chips. holy crap that's a meal and a half.
hmmmm god its almost midday the next day, i only just got up and i could SO go another $4 breakfast hhahahahhah
finally at 4am it was starting to get a bit cold and i definately felt like i needed to go home. the boys were all getting cabs home, while i just had to walk up the street, so we got to point in the night "ok then, i'm going this way, you're going that way.... so...um... yea.....now what?" hugs for dan-o, thanks buddy sticking the night out with me..... then there's conversation boy.
so alot of our convesation had been about our previous relationship fuck-ups, how ex's had been all wrong for us, what we had learnt from those past relationships and what we now knew about the type of people we wanted to be with.... well at least the type of people we DIDNT want to be with again.
conversation also was about the people in our lives now (or lack there-of).
altho he isn't seeing anyone, there were a couple of people he has interest in... perhaps it was that, or something- all that was going through my mind was those depressing dating books i read a while back- "If he likes you, he will do the chasing. dont give him your number unless he asks". so i didn't offer. i didn't ask for his.
we hugged and said we both had fun etc. then pause. this is where i'd usually take the lead and give him my number, but i dind't. i said goodbye and left.
i still dont know if i did the right thing, but i guess he knows people who know me, so if he was keen he could do the chasing. but honestly the theories in those books sound like utter jibberish,
but i'm not too fussed. although meeting new people is great and boys are so cute to perv on, a big part of me doesn't want to lose the life i've grown used to and the freedom that comes with being single. not yet.
sometimes the thought of being with someone new seems so utterly uncomfortable and unappealing. the whole starting a new relationship phase seems like too much work, and when i've got alias season 2 on dvd and a red wine to keep me amused, why would i want all that hassle?

hmmm.... where is this fat boys you speak of?

I thought it was a good story, but it ended a little flat, and I was thinking hopefully the book is right. But then I thought, if he is keen he will do something about it. Don't just rely on the book though. If you feel like chasing him, go for it.
Fat Boys breakfasts are certainly lifesavers. I want one now!

I think perhaps you did the right thing. He admitted there are others he's interested in so it's probably better to try and leave it up to him to make the first move - that way you know he has an interest in you too.

I'm going to agree with aaron and verbs on this one. It was exactly the right thing to do. If he's interested in you, you'll bump into him again... because he will make the effort to do so. But if you are still thinking abut him a week or so later, and you haven't heard from him at all, there is nothing wrong with looking to see if you can meet up with him again.

haha dude
I should've pissed off and left you two at it :P I sensed a real connection between you two, like the one between me and my vodka. It was great.
But yeah, again agreeing with Verbs, Aaron and SB - he knows how to get in contact with you. If he's keen, he will call.
Also, being a guy, him saying there are ppl he's interested in may not be entirely true, maybe he was sussing out if there were duders u were keen for- and the chick he's keen on is you? I dunno, I saw something between you guys.
You'll prolly see him by chance everywhere you turn now. If it's meant to be, it'll happen.
Take it easy, have fun and don't push it - watch alias season 2!! (SO YOU CAN PASS IT ON TO ME BIATCH!) :D

Aaahh, I so understand young Munted One. My lovelife right now is like Lemony Snicket.... A Series of Unformtunate Events.
And just down downright confusing, like a David Lynch movie :P
In the space of a week (and I'm listing gals with their first initial only)...
* Met up with A1 for brunch date Sat morning. I really like her, but she's a virgin (so her younger sister, who I've known for ages, has said) and has issues with her dad (who left her family years previous).
* Then there's TWO old high school friends (it's my reunion year, so contact is increasing). Both just got back on the dating market. I chat to IR on e-mail (but I think she's met someone, good for her, I say), and ran into A2 last night at Indie Temple. She got sick of ex-b/f smoking cones all the time, and we both heavily flirted with each other. It was fun. Meeting up with A2 for Fiesta next week.
* And I also met this gal, R, who I thought was kinda hot, but thankfully hooked up with a workmate of hers, so that's a happy ending for them, which is good. I had a vibe, but chose to sit back, and relax).
* Oh, and finally, B, met her for 2nd time last weekend. Shows me her purple nailpolish. "You know what that means, don't you", she said. "Umm, no", my reply. "It's because I'm sexually deprived". She ended up hanging with guy (last Saturday night) she does midweek trivia nights with down in her suburb, so that door might be closed.
Fun for all in the 10AC tent !!!

how comes nobody ever wants to shag the bass player? why not become a vagitarian and only eat tuna?
At July 04, 2005 9:00 AM, reanon said…
hey, i like bass players. i can think of many hot bass players i'd want to shag.
