05/01 | UPDATE:
FINALLY finished my "making a website" page. Yay! (student
> lessons) NOTE: This page should be useful for anyone considering getting
themselves a personal or company website, but are not sure what steps are
involved. Next I might make a kick-arse video lesson on writing Macros ...
but that might be another year away! Oh well ... I have plenty of time before
I'm qualified to be a lecturer right? :-P

Dance People
Over the last couple of weeks I've already had fun getting back into dancing!
Nadim has a car, and he and Celeste have taken me to a couple of really cool
nights eating and dancing, and meeting some of Nadim's friends. Hang on, I'm
not sure I've even told you people about Nadim! Nadim is
the nicest guy ever! He oozes niceness - you could be standing a kilometer
away and you still wouldn't be safe - and Celeste is just as lovely.
Both of them joined uqdance last semester, and I'm glad they got together
- they make such an attractive couple!
Now that I think about it, Celeste has a lot in common with Michelle - both
of them are very stunning girls, both are pure at heart, both are innocent,
and of course they're both as gullible as strawberry trees! It's hilarious.
Hours of entertainment. :-)
On Friday Nadim and Celeste came to pick me up Celeste was at my front door
in a wonderful new red dress, and so I told her "wow, you are looking
very pretty this afternoon" but her reply caught me completely off-guard.
"Aw thank you Andrew! Yeah; Nadim is looking for a root"
Surely I misheard, but I looked across at Nadim, and sure enough he was examining
a map on top of his car. I looked back at Celeste and burst out laughing!
Ahh Celeste. You crack me up girl. Celeste gave me the confused look - the
old, innocent "did I say something funny" stare (almost
the same standard as Michelle) - for a good three seconds before she finally
realized what she had just said and said "Noo Andrew ... that's not
what I meant!". And then of course she went the same colour as her
dress when I told Nadim what his "intelligent" girlfriend
had she just said. Only a girl like Celeste would say something like "looking
for a route" without batting an eyelid. When she told me she
went to a public school I barely believed her - I would have assumed she was
from an all-girl Christian school). But serious ... how could anyone from
a public school still be that innocent!
Michelle and Celeste make unintentional sexual innuendos and spoonerisms ALL
the time, but this one was a classic. From now on I'm going to try and remember
more of the little funny little things our lovely uqdance girls say; because
you definitely don't want to lose a gem like this one.
Oh anyhow, continuing the story; Nadim, Celeste and I met a group of other
uqdancers and watched the Chinese mask dance at Chinatown for Chinese new
year. It was amazing! The dragons and the Tae Kwon Do demonstration were pretty
good, but not much compared to the mask dancer - in the twitch of an eye this
girl's mask changed. Oh; and hey; she was pretty hot too! Apparently mask
dancing is a tradition passed down from father to son, and, if I heard the
announcer correctly, she is the only female mask dancer in the world! Hrmmmm
.... wonder if she's single.
After that we went dancing at Denims, and, as always, Denims was lots of fun,
although at this time of year you build up a sweat after just one song.
It's great to hang out with uqdance people. I was explaining to some other
people, my group of dance friends are possibly the nicest people on earth;
it's almost surreal, but there is not a single mean bone among any of them.
I imagine that being in uqdance is what it's like being in a Christian group
where everyone is an goody-goody .... except without all the religion bits
- instead we just dance. And the other great thing is not only do we all get
along really well, but were all on hugging terms. Well not so much the guys
hugging other guys, but hey; I know I'm never going to comfortable hugging
girls like my brunette housemates last year - they all scared the be-jesus
out of me - so it's nice to know a group of nice girls who I can be friends
with. It's hard to explain, but some of my housemates are not great for my
self-esteem, but uqdance people; they're always been great. Oh, and dancing
with girls is always good for the self esteem - beats dancing by yourself
anytime!
Nadim and Celeste are quickly turning into my favourite people. This year
Nadim is president of uqdance, and I'm treasurer. Market day is about two
weeks away and we're going to host a stall, and do a performance, and it should
be great! I really look forward for semester to start, hopefully there will
be lots of nice new guys and girls joining us. In fact, this may change, but
I'm also feeling confident about meeting a girl this year ... .... well it
would be about bloody time! Fortunately dancing seems to attract nice girls
..... and hopefully Nadim will be able to help me too! :-)
Getting the courage to ask a girl out is not as easy as I imagine in my mind,
but this year I'm starting again and I have hope.
This year I have vowed not to repeat the same mistakes as last year - such
as waiting for a girl to just reply for more than half a year. Oh well ...
at least I improved on waiting five years without even telling the girl I
like her. You have to laugh about these things .... it sure beats crying.
05/02 | New
Housemate
The latest big news around here is we have a new housemate. Her name is Kimberley
and she's a PhD student! Hooray - I won't be the only one anymore. She's also
a vegetarian - not another bloody vego - but hey - Krista was a vegetarian
and she turned out okay. Kimberley seems like a really nice girl actually,
and her boyfriend seems really cool too, although she studies plants and I
get the impression they have a lots of hippy friends. Dang hippys.
I was initially a bit worried, because she's brunette, but unlike the other
brunettes who have lived in this house she actually seems to have a laid-back
disposition (a bit like Krista!) and therefore isn't likely to boss me around
and tell me I'm a dag. I got her a small very cheap little moving in present,
but my housemates said a moving in present is a silly idea. Oh well ... I
though it was a nice gesture - acquiring a new housemate is a pretty important
thing, so I hope she likes us all.
