saturday noises
I'm standing on the dance floor of Tigerlils on saturday night, a place that had too many people for such a small place, deafened by thudding electronica mixed in with bongos. A girl that had been introduced to me as Emma stood next to me. Her head lolled to one side, eyes heavily hooded, slowly swaying side to side slightly. She looked wasted.
I decided to use that as an icebreaker.
"You look drunk" I told her. She shot me a venomous look and huffed angrily. "That's a bloody nice thing to say to a girl", she shot at me. Turns out she was normally like that. I belatedly noticed that the music had died down, and the floor around us, where a scarce 30 seconds before had been packed to the gills with dancers, was suddenly empty. I looked around desperately. There wasn't another person within 4 meters of her and me, so I couldn't turn around and talk to someone else without making it obvious I wanted to get the hell out of this conversation.
I coughed apologetically and studied my feet. She looked around the floor. She was probably thinking the same thing I was. Both now trapped in a situation we didn't want to be in, we stood next to each other for a very silent, extremely awkward, 2 or 3 minutes.
"So...uhh...you come here often?" I ventured. Oh God, I thought to myself, I can't believe I just said that. Someone came to talk to her and, deciding that discretion was the better part of valour, I left like a bat out of hell.
"What the fuck just happened there??" I asked Justin after relaying to him what had happened.
He looked at me sympathetically. "Don't worry," he confided reassuringly, giving me a sideways look. "She's a huge slut anyway".

Excerpt of a conversation with Kel:
"Megan Fox, she's pretty hot. How does she stack up to Jessica Alba?"
"What" I sputtered, incredulous. "That's like comparing me to Jesus".
