Happy New Year all. Well after embracing my recent role as a pinball on a national scale, scooting from Phillip Island to Sydney, I have had a memorable celebration. Many thanks to Lee for organising festivities. All started with a harbour cruise, after an 11 hour drive mind you! Free drinks until 1:00am. A brief snippet from an early conversation;
L:"Did you spill those beers?"
S:"C'mon mate don't be stupid. I don't spill beers"
L:"Where are they then?"
S:"Well what does one normally do with beers?...."
Lovely fireworks on the harbour, really very impressive. One of the best views in Sydney I suggest. And with only about 150-200 guests onboard, the whole event was indeed pleasant. Had spent time conversing with Lee's other guests, and perusing the crowd for any interests. I was specifically looking for attractive and intelligent, a recurring theme for me I guess. Only really one option on board. Strike a conversation, with N it turns out. After some polite small talk it occurs to me that this is not the only recurring theme. I know I ask for some specific qualities, but do they all have to be married? I mean really, that is the third time now. Fucking ridiculous. Attractive, intelligent, English, married.
2:00am, adjourn to a party in Pyrmont. Again with the dancing, hey I had been driving since 5:50am, then drinking from 6:30pm. I am entitled to dance by that stage. Enter Craig from stage left, an older, well dressed individual, clearly gay.
C:"Are you gay?"
S:"No, sorry."
C:"Are you sure?"
S:"Yes, I'm quite sure, thanks for the compliment though."
Lovely fellow really, had quite a few drinks with him by the end. Offered me coke all night though. Then enter Des stage right, clearly gay, well groomed, reasonably intelligent.
D:"Are you gay?"
S:" No sorry."
D:"Are you sure?"
S:"Yes, I'm sure. Some other guy already asked."
D:"Which guy?"
This is the third time I had been asked in December. What gives? I am interested to know if it is my behaviour or conversation that leads to this conclusion. Well, whatever it is it is not helping. Party finishes at 10:15am, I leave looking for open pubs.
