Friends, Pictures, Go-go Dancing
My MOJO is still on...am still meeting new people at every turn.
If last weekend I met lots of potential bed buddies, then this weekend I met lots of potential good friends. Let me tell you, it's alot more satisfying.
It was almost as if I had a huge sign on my forehead that read "desperate for friends". A good number of people have welcomed me with open arms into their nicely-knit circle of friends. It was overwhelming and I felt really special in their company. I've been invited to barbeques, movie-night outings, more dinner parties among other things. The next step for me now is to take it to the next level and start returning phonecalls once and for all.

Sunday, I went to a patio party populated with good genuine people. I also re-established some good acquaintances. There was a resident photographer present in the event who took picture after picture of every little occurence. Really cool fun-loving guy, I briefly introduced myself and he gave me his business card.
This morning, I was curious so I checked out his website. Cool pics. Then, I clicked on the "updated" part of the Events section. If I knew I would find four pictures of yours truly being immortalized on the web, I really would not have posed with a friend in some sort of tongue-kiss play. Urgh! I can't help but wonder what people might think of me. Slut? Whore? Player? I mean... it was an innocent tongue flirt that turned into something risque for the camera. Oh well.
I find myself feeling strangely hexed.

The topic of myself as a Go-go dancer was once again brought up by a local DJ friend of mine. "We've been getting lots of complaints that our Go-go dancers can't dance. You - you'd look good up there."
I've shyly declined the offer before. This time, I reply: "I'm not Go-go material. I'm too short." I reiterate that I'm not comfortable wearing those skimpy rainbow coloured underwear that they ask the dancers to wear.
In consolation, I find myself promising to be a backup dancer for a drag queen at some future event. Is this worse? Hmmmm... I'm crossing my fingers that I get to keep my shirt on, but not very likely.
