16/4 | Visiting
Cairns soon! I'm visit Cairns for five days between May 12 and 16 so I can go to
the JCU graduation ceremony! Not really much time I guess ..... but better
than nothing. I was almost tempted to save money and not go ... but now I've
been told I have to come, besides which I didn't wear the funny had last year
when I had the chance .... and it's not something that happens often in your
life. By the end of May I should have a photo with a funny hat. Happy-happy-joy-joy!

theory: The nicer the boy, the more likely he's
single. It's taken me a while to formulate this theory, but the evidence
is all there. Every nice guy I've met in Brisbane (below say, 25 years old)
is single ... and almost every nice guy I knew in Cairns (granted most of
them were IT people) was single. Why?
It seems counter-intuitive, but clearly girls (at least at this age) are not
attracted to nice boys. Nice boys become friends, but not boyfriends. That's
my theory anyway. Some of the nicest and most intelligent guys I know are
Albert, CX, Michael and Steve ... all with female friends, but all single
... and I could list at least twenty other nice guys in that category. Mabye
they believe a nice guy implies to them a long-term relationship & they
don't like the idea of limiting their options - hell I don't know.
And no, this doesn't work inversely, because most of the nice girls (below
say, 25) I know and have met recently have boyfriends... doh!
It's a cruel world. I like to think of a scenario where you pretend to be
a jerk, ask a girl out, and after a few weeks of being a non-gentleman, you
could break the news that you're actually a nice guy and you love her ...
..... and then she'll freak out and dump you. Pessimistic you think? Probably
... so feel free to comment in my guestbook.

observation: Brisvagas people
(especially academics) are slack with e-mail and just "getting
back to you" period. Often you won't hear back at all. On the other
hand, I guess I'm use to being spoilt at JCU with lecturers like Phil, who
would reply to most e-mail within an hour.

theory: No matter how many nice things
you do for a girl, it's the one incorrect thing you do she'll remember
- and suddenly all those hard earned brownie points are gone.
2/4 | Mum
visits, and takes me to Sea World (cheaper than taking me to see world) Just had my mum & sister visit, which was nice.
Mum paid for everything (except rent), and we went do Sea World! Wohoo! Thanks
mum.
Above is a photo of me hugging the blonde powder-puff girl at Sea World -
at least, I hope it was a girl. When I hugged her, I almost knocked her over
- her head is suprisingly dense - typical blonde. When I left I shook her
hand and said it "It was very nice to meet you ..... I'll call....
I promise". She didn't say a word. A brief but memorable relationship. :-P
